2008-01-07: Updated website

The website has been updated with documentation and examples from PyObjC 2.0.

2008-01-06: PyObjC 2.0 included in MacOSX Leopard

Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) contains many new features, one of which is a new major release of PyObjC: PyObjC 2.0.

The NEWS file provides the best overview of new features, the following list is a small overview:

• The package pyobjc is split into several smaller packages, this will make future updates easier.
• PyObjC now supports the bridgesupport metadata format, which makes it easier to support new frameworks without having to write C code. The same metadata format is also used by RubyCocoa.
• Class methods are modelled better, allowing one have a class method and instance method with the same name ( which is used in several occassions in the Cocoa frameworks).

2005-07-06: PyObjC 1.3.7 released

This version features support for Xcode 2.1, an initial port to Intel, wrappers for even more frameworks and several bugfixes.

For the first time ever, the PyObjC module has a real web site (the start of one anyway). The implementation is largely a copy of the Fink project's excellent site. The design and graphics were contributed by Jim Tittsler. The content was compiled from many sources-- Jim's work, Fink, the PyObjC source trees and some original-- by Bill Bumgarner.

2002-10-13: Interim release 0.7.0

On or about this date, an interim release of PyObjC was made available as a disk image that contained the binary module (compatible with Apple's build of Python included with OS X 10.2), a Project Builder project template for building Cocoa applications using Python, and a basic README.

Version 0.7.0 represents a huge step forward over the previous version (0.6.1). Of note, 0.7.0 vastly improved the inter-language messaging mechanism, the bridging of various classes, improved support for features specific to the Foundation and AppKit, support for the Address Book framework, and subclassing of Objective-C classes in Python.
