[Pythoncard-users] PythonCard release 0.6.3

It has been almost six months since version 0.1 was released on July 26,
2001 and over seven months since the original mailing list was founded on
June 19, 2001. We've made a lot of progress during that time. According to
SF records, it also looks like Dan Winkler registered the PythonCard project
with SourceForge on January 24, 2001. Dan has been very quiet the last six
months, but I would like to thank him for his work on the original
HyperCard, starting the PythonCard project on SourceForge and letting other
people get involved.

Enjoy,

ka
ps. I hid all of the old releases. If anyone needs access to them let me
know. Also, SF appears to be having some server problems today and the 0.6.3
zip has not shown up as of 3:00 pm USA west coast time, but just keep
checking back and I'm sure it will show up.

Release 0.6.3 is mostly a bug fix release for Linux/GTK issues.

There is still a known wxWindows/wxPython bug that prevents setting the font
in single line wxTextCtrls, so you can't set the font on Linux with the
TextField and PasswordField components. Cliff Wells reports that sound
doesn't work with wxPython on his machine, your mileage may vary. I did not
do any work on converting layouts to sizers since 0.6.2, so fixed layouts
will still have display issues depending on the default font and font size
used under Linux/GTK.

You can get the latest version of PythonCard at:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=19015

Remember to backup or just delete your old PythonCardPrototype directory
before installing a new version, so that the old files aren't still in the
package directory. As always, report any problems to the list.
