NEWS
The 3.2.8 release of the eGenix mx Base Distribution is the latest
release of our open-source Python extensions. It includes these fixes
and enhancements:
Installation Enhancements
-------------------------
* Added web installer support to mxSetup, the distutils extension
module which drives all our product installations.
Uploaded web installer package to PyPI which simplifies installation.
In addition to the usual ways of installing eGenix mx Base, we have
uploaded a web installer to PyPI, so that it is now also possible
to use one of these installation methods on all supported platforms
(Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X):
- easy_install egenix-mx-base via PyPI
- pip install egenix-mx-base via PyPI
- egenix-mx-base egg reference in zc.buildout via PyPI
- running "python setup.py install" in the unzipped web installer
archive directory
The web installer will automatically detect the platform and
choose the right binary download package for you. All downloads
are verified before installation.
Fixes
-----
* mxDateTime: Protected delta.strftime() against segfaults on
Windows, which only allows day values <= 31 and segfaults for
higher values. Thanks to Frank Boje for reporting this problem.
* mxTextTools: Fixed a double decref in the tagging engine that
surfaced when using custom tag objects and appending the results to
them. Thanks to Richard Moseley for the report.
Compatibility Enhancements
--------------------------
* Prepared eGenix mx Base for two digit Python patch level numbers
such as Python 2.7.10
eGenix mx Base Distribution 3.2.0 was release on 2012-08-28. Please
