Hello list! I'm pleased to announce the release of Python-BRisa version 0.8. We have awesome worked for this release and due to this, the BRisa project has started a new phase: we finally have a separation of the BRisa framework and the applications. Please, try it, we are still working hard to make the BRisa project much better than today. What is Python-BRisa ? ============= Python-BRisa is an UPnP framework written in Python with facilities for building UPnP devices, services and control points. The Python-BRisa API comprehends Internet messaging protocols and basic services (TCP, UDP, HTTP, SOAP, SSDP), networking facilities, threading management, logging, configurations, web server and more. Python-BRisa's runs on the maemo platform, Linux and on Mac with a few tweaks. We would really appreciate community feedback, bug reports and feature requests concerning attempts to run it on other systems. Requirements ========= - Python 2.5.x, Python 2.5.x-dev - http://www.python.org - Python-Cherrypy - http://www.cherrypy.org Features of this release ============== - Major cleanup on the framework (old/unused modules removed) - Fixed PEP8 errors and files/methods/variables with wrong naming convention - Split between framework and applications - Separate documentation for developers and users - Various bug-fixes on the framework and applicationss - Thread management improvements (assured control over threads) - Better programmatic control over the control point - Better support for multiple instances of BRisa - Configuration API stabilized, using cPickle - Logging with more information (file, line, time) - DIDL completely refactored and now uses cElementTree - Added a simple command line tool for configuring (brisa-conf) - UPnP A/V specifics moved out from python-brisa - Added simple watch API for objects and SQLite databases - Improved debian packaging - Installation script (setup.py) enhanced - Added more examples to the directory Bugs fixed in this release ========================== #2980: didl_lite using parse_xml incorrectly #3242: difficulties in control point start/stop #3244, #3270, #3273: ThreadObject problem with blocking run()'s fixed with interruption mechanism #3247: attributes moved to object scope #3271: run_async_call() performing the call even when cancelled #3273: ThreadManager.stop_all using list dangerously #3274: webserver does not remove itself from ThreadManager list #3288: service XML is never parsed #3289: control point event not sending changed_vars #3291: some UPnP devices sending empty controlURL #3306: default number of trials and intervals of url_fetch should be configurable #3306: device which failed to download XML is being ignored forever by SSDPSearch #3371: instances of ThreadObject not being garbage-collected Next release plans =========== - Improve the thread interrupt with a higher level mechanism (probably pipes) - Provide framework's own exception classes - Implement more basic devices as examples - Add more basic examples of framework usage - Complete unit test suite for the framework - Add scripts for automatic packaging for gentoo, rpm - Create an universal control point Links ===== Website: http://brisa.garage.maemo.org/ Development: http://garage.maemo.org/projects/brisa/ Download: https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=138 Mailing list: https://garage.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/brisa-discuss/ Meet us on IRC ========= #brisa @ irc.freenode.net Acknowledgement =========== Thanks to the following contributors who awesome worked for this release: - Andre Moreira Magalhaes (andrunko) <andrunko@xxxxxxxxx> - Elvis Pfutzenreuter (epx) <epx@xxxxxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
