Version 3.10

Version 3.10.0

💥 New features:

  • Issue #81 - Modernize the internationalization utilities

    • The guidata.utils.gettext_helpers module, based on the gettext module, has been deprecated.

    • It has been replaced by a new module guidata.utils.translations, which provides a more modern and flexible way to handle translations, thanks to the babel library.

    • This change introduces a new script for managing translations, which may be used as follows:

      • Scan for new translations:

        • python -m guidata.utils.translations scan --name <name> --directory <directory>

        • or guidata-translations scan --name <name> --directory <directory>

      • Compile translations:

        • python -m guidata.utils.translations compile --name <name> --directory <directory>

        • or guidata-translations compile --name <name> --directory <directory>

      • More options are available, see the help message of the script:

        • python -m guidata.utils.translations --help

        • or guidata-translations --help

  • Development environment:

    • Historically, the default Python interpreter for development was handled by the PPSTACK_PYTHONEXE environment variable, for example to run VS Code tasks with the correct Python interpreter.

    • This approach has been replaced by relying on the virtual environment management as provided by VS Code itself, which is more standard and compatible with various tools.

🛠️ Bug fixes:

  • Issue #88 - DictItem default value persists across dataset instances (missing deepcopy)

    • This issue is as old as the DictItem class itself.

    • When using a DictItem in a dataset, if a value is set to the item instance, this value was incorrectly used as the default for the next instance of the same dataset class.

    • This happened because a deepcopy was not made when setting the defaults of the class items in guidata.dataset.datatypes.

    • The fix ensures that each dataset instance has its own independent default value for DictItem, preventing side effects from one instance to another.
