This component has been moved from the StaticAnaApps package. BUG : 5889 (http://developer.symbian.org/webbugs/show_bug.cgi?id=5889).
(+ user visible changes, * internal stuff)
PyInstaller 1.3
---------------
+ Fix bug with user-provided icons disappearing from built executables
when these were compressed with UPX.
+ Fix problems with packaging of applications using PIL (that was broken
because of a bug in Python's import machinery, in recent Python
versions). Also add a workaround including Tcl/Tk with PIL unless
ImageTk is imported.
+ (Windows) When used under Windows XP, packaged programs now have
the correct look & feel and follow user's themes (thanks to the manifest
file being linked within the generated executable). This is especially
useful for applications using wxPython.
+ Fix a buffer overrun in the bootloader (which could lead to a crash)
when the built executable is run from within a deep directory (more than
70-80 characters in the pathname).
* Bootstrap modules are now compressed in the executable (so that they
are not visible in plaintext by just looking at it with a hex editor).
* Fixed a regression introduced in 1.1: under Linux, the bootloader does
not depend on libpythonX.X.so anymore.
PyInstaller 1.2
---------------
+ Fix a crash when invoking UPX with certain kinds of builds.
+ Fix icon support by re-adding a resource section in the bootloader
executable.
PyInstaller 1.1
---------------
+ (Windows) Make single-file packages not depend on MSVCRT71.DLL anymore,
even under Python 2.4. You can eventually ship your programs really as
single-file executables, even when using the newest Python version!
+ Fix problem with incorrect python path detection. Now using helpers from
distutils.
+ Fix problem with rare encodings introduced in newer Python versions: now all
the encodings are automatically found and included, so this problem should
be gone forever.
+ Fix building of COM servers (was broken in 1.0 because of the new build
system).
+ Mimic Python 2.4 behaviour with broken imports: sys.modules is cleaned up
afterwise. This allows to package SQLObject applications under Windows
with Python 2.4 and above.
+ Add import hook for the following packages:
+ GTK
+ PyOpenGL (tested 2.0.1.09)
+ dsnpython (tested 1.3.4)
+ KInterasDB (courtesy of Eugene Prigorodov)
+ Fix packaging of code using "time.strptime" under Python 2.3+.
+ (Linux) Ignore linux-gate.so while calculating dependencies (fix provided
by Vikram Aggarwal).
+ (Windows) With Python 2.4, setup UPX properly so to be able to compress
binaries generated with Visual Studio .NET 2003 (such as most of the
extensions). UPX 1.92+ is needed for this.
PyInstaller 1.0 (with respect to McMillan's Python Installer 5b5):
---------------
+ Add support for Python 2.3 (fix packaging of codecs).
+ Add support for Python 2.4 (under Windows, needed to recompiled the
bootloader with a different compiler version).
+ Fix support for Python 1.5.2, should be fully functional now (required
to rewrite some parts of the string module for the bootloader).
+ Fix a rare bug in extracting the dependencies of a DLL (bug in PE header
parser).
+ Fix packaging of PyQt programs (needed an import hook for a hidden import).
+ Fix imports calculation for modules using the "from __init__ import" syntax.
+ Fix a packaging bug when a module was being import both through binary
dependency and direct import.
* Restyle documentation (now using docutils and reStructuredText).
* New Windows build system for automatic compilations of bootloader in all
the required flavours (using Scons)
