Release 4.4.5 #384

Open stefanoborini opened 8 years ago

stefanoborini commented 8 years ago

There have been a few bugfixes that probably are worth of a patchlevel release.

gnurser commented 8 years ago

Will this now work with python 3? I see that 4.4.0 is supposed to work with python 3, but am unclear as to whether this is robust e.g. there is as yet no anaconda version for python 3.

jabooth commented 8 years ago

@gnurser we have conda builds for mayavi 4.4.4/VTK 7.0 (Py 2.7/3.4/3.5 win/mac/linux) on our menpo channel here: https://anaconda.org/menpo/mayavi

to install: conda install -c menpo mayavi

If you find any issues be sure to report them here: https://github.com/menpo/conda-mayavi/issues

I did however run into issues building 4.4.4 on older versions of OS X - would also be interested in a 4.4.5 bug fix release to see if that resolves things.

@itziakos is there a blocker on doing a point release? Is there anything we can do to un-stick it? It does seem like a good number of bug fixes have gone in recently...

Python 3 support is good but I would still consider it experimental until the next major release 4.5.0 (which is not very far)

I will ping @prabhuramachandran (the lead author) on making a bugfix 4.4.5 release.

gnurser commented 8 years ago

Thanks @jabooth and @itziakos. I'll give the conda 4.4.4 py35 build a try. Good to hear that 4.5.0 should be released soon.

jabooth commented 8 years ago

@prabhuramachandran @itziakos any update on a potential 4.4.5 bug fix release?

Also any guidance on when 4.5.0 might be expected, and any steps we can take to get us there quicker would be really appreciated by the community!

I noticed you have a milestone for 4.5.0, but there aren't any attached issues, so it's a little hard to know what the situation is...

prabhuramachandran commented 8 years ago

@jabooth --Actually there are enough good features in currently that I'd like a 4.5.0 released soon -- for example I just added notebook support. I just need to find some time for it. I'll try and do it this week! Thanks for your interest.

jabooth commented 8 years ago

@prabhuramachandran awesome! Wow I didn't know about inline notebook support, that looks amazing! Really looking forwards to giving that a go. :)

prabhuramachandran commented 8 years ago

@jabooth -- well for now it is just a start and nothing very fancy but it is quite usable. See here for what you can do: https://github.com/enthought/mayavi/pull/415

I have ideas for some nicer features but I am not sure when I will get around to getting that implemented. Anyway, we will push a release soon.

prabhuramachandran commented 8 years ago

@jabooth -- 4.5.0 is out and the sources are live on pypi. I hope there are no silly issues. If there are please report them and we'll try and fix the issues for the next (4.5.1) release.

prabhuramachandran commented 8 years ago

@stefanoborini -- can we close this issue now?

Any chance to have packages in conda-forge ? https://github.com/conda-forge
