PySide v0.4.0 (’Alisson’) is now available!

This release had a massive effort to close bugs and prepare to an stable API. The so awaited version 1.0 is on the horizon.

Other point covered by this release include the API 2.0. PyQt4 provides two different (and incompatible) APIs. API 1 is the original API and the one supported by PySide until the last release. API 2 is a new and much more Pythonic API, now supported by PySide too. It includes removal of QString and QVariant types besides other modifications. The PSEP101 explains the situation.

The examples repository was revamped to reflect the new PySide API.

Mac OS X now have a working PySide but not a package. The source code must
be compiled and installed manually. We are looking for community members
interested in maintaining packages for it.

In short:
- Massive bugfixing;
- API 2.0 support;
- Examples repository updated;
- Mac OS X supported;
- QtMobility on the way.

What’s next?

Windows support isn’t ready due importing errors. We hope to have it working in the next release, allowing PySide usage under Linux, Mac and Windows.

Bindings for QtMobility are on the way. As this library gets mature PySide will keep releasing new bindings for it. More information can be found in the roadmap webpage.
