v3.1.1 - Maintenance release

Version 3.1.1

🛠️ Bug fixes:

• 'Apply' button state is now correctly updated when modifying one of the following items:
  • dataset.MultipleChoiceItem
  • dataset.dataitems.DictItem
  • dataset.dataitems.FloatArrayItem
• Fixed minor deprecation and other issues related to locale

💥 Changes:

• Removed --unattended command line option for pytest:
  • Before: pytest --unattended guidata (to run tests without Qt event loop)
  • Now: pytest guidata (there is no use case for running tests with Qt event loop,
    so the --unattended option was removed and the unattended mode is now the default)
• Removed CHM documentation (obsolete format)

Version 3.1.0

⚠ Exceptionally, this release contains the following API breaking changes:

• Moved utils.update_dataset to dataset.conv.update_dataset
• Moved utils.restore_dataset to dataset.conv.restore_dataset

✔ API simplification (backward compatible):

• Dataset items may now be imported from guidata.dataset instead of guidata.dataset.dataitems
• Dataset types may now be imported from guidata.dataset instead of guidata.dataset.datatypes
• Examples:

  • from guidata.dataset.dataitems import FloatItem becomes from guidata.dataset import FloatItem

  • from guidata.dataset.datatypes import DataSet becomes from guidata.dataset import DataSet

  • Or you may now write:

    import guidata.dataset as gds
    
    class MyParameters(gds.DataSet):
        """My parameters"""
        freq = gds.FloatItem("Frequency", default=1.0, min=0.0, nonzero=True)
        amp = gds.FloatItem("Amplitude", default=1.0, min=0.0)

💥 New features:

• New dataset.create_dataset_from_dict: create a dataset from a dictionary,
  using keys and values to create the dataset items
• New dataset.create_dataset_from_func: create a dataset from a function signature,
  using type annotations and default values to create the dataset items
• dataset.dataitems.StringItem:
  • Added argument password to hide text (useful for passwords)
  • Added argument regexp to validate text using a regular expression
• dataset.dataitems.FileSaveItem, dataset.dataitems.FileOpenItem,
  dataset.dataitems.FilesOpenItem and dataset.dataitems.DirectoryItem:
  added argument regexp to validate file/dir name using a regular expression
• dataset.dataitems.DictItem: added support for HDF5 and JSON serialization
• dataset.io.h5fmt and dataset.io.jsonfmt: added support for lists and dictionnaries serialization

♻ New PlotPyStack internal features:

• widgets.about: handle about dialog box informations (Python, Qt, Qt bindings, ...)
• Renamed development environment variable GUIDATA_PYTHONEXE to PPSTACK_PYTHONEXE

🧹 Bug fixes:

• Fixed Qt6 compatibility issue with QFontDatabase

Version 3.0
