PyGi version 0.5, the 'Watch out, theres a Volcano!' release

(Special note for this version of the release statement on this blog -- All the features Zhaan needed made it into the release, hence Zhaan is 100% compatible with PyGi 0.5)It is my pleasure to bring to the world the first release of PyGi -the Python GObject Introspection bindings - version 0.5. We chose thenumber 0.5 to indicate that we believe PyGi to be of beta quality. Wewant to encourage the brave souls of the world to try it out and helpus by reporting any bugs that are found.PyGi is nearly feature complete. A highly condensed list of features:- Implements in and out arguments of all types- Implements closures, callbacks and virtual functions- Implements wrapping of structs, objects and interfaces.A huge thank you is due to several people for making this happen.- Simon van der Linden, for all of his hard work on PyBank/PyGi.- Tomeu Vizoso for all of his hard work on PyGi throughout the pastmonths/years- John (J5) Palmieri, Colin Walters, Johan Dahlin and others forassistance, contributions and help along the way,- All of the great folks who participated in the Gnome/Python 2010hackfest who made this release possible (including generous supportfrom Red Hat, Canonical and OLPC)Version 0.6 of PyGI is likely to include:- Python 3.1 support (already 95% working! Thanks David Malcom andJohn Ehresman!)- A major refactoring of some of the thickest parts of the code- Much improved documentation- Improved compatibility with older bindingsPyGi 0.5 is available for download here:http://ftp.gnome.org/Public/gnome/sources/pygi/0.5/pygi-0.5.tar.gzYou can find the PyGi website/wiki:http://live.gnome.org/PyGIAnd the public git repo at:git://git.gnome.org/pygiBug tracking is done in project pygi on bugzilla.gnome.org.Cheers,-Zach GoldbergPyGi Maintainers:Simon van der LindenTomeu VizosoZach GoldbergGit Shortlog:Alex Dedul (1):Search for python-config-${VERSION} when python${VERSION}-configis not foundAnderson Lizardo (1):Depend on GLib 2.20 rather than 2.22Colin Walters (2):[Makefile.am] Clean up CFLAGS handling, don't override all: targetAdd Tomeu's prototype script for converting pygtk to pygiJohan Dahlin (3):Create overridden modules in two passesRemove trailing whitespacePythonify.
