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)
