renato.filho

The PySide team is happy to announce the third beta release of PySide:
Python for Qt. New versions of some of the PySide toolchain components
apiextractor, shiboken, libpyside have been released as well.

This is a source code release only; we hope our community packagers will
be providing provide binary packages shortly. To acquire the source code
packages, refer to our download wiki page [1] or pull the relevant
tagged versions from our git repositories [2].

Major changes since 1.0.0~beta2

This is a bugfix release. Since beta2, a total of 35 high-priority
bugs have been fixed. See the list of fixed bugs at the end of this message.

Path towards 1.0 release

There are still some outstanding bugs in our Bugzilla [3]. To have these
fixed, we plan to do a new beta in two weeks. After that we will
check the possibility of a release candidate or other beta before 1.0.

About PySide

PySide is the Nokia-sponsored Python Qt bindings project, providing
access to not only the complete Qt 4.7 framework but also Qt Mobility,
as well as to generator tools for rapidly generating bindings for any
Qt-based libraries.

The PySide project is developed in the open, with all facilities you'd
expect from any modern OSS project such as all code in a git repository
[2], an open Bugzilla [5] for reporting bugs, and an open design
process [4]. We welcome any contribution without requiring a transfer of
copyright.
