Python - guidata versions

v1.5 [Nov 5, 2012]
1.New features (since v1.5.0)
--HDF5 serialization (HDF5 reader/writer):
Added context manager
Added convenience methods read and write
Added convenience methods write_object_list and read_object_list to save/restore objects implementing DataSet-like serialize and deserialize methods
--Datasets I/O (HDF5/ini): None values (unset items) can now be saved/loaded for FloatItem, IntItem and BoolItem objects
--disthelpers: added option 'exclude_dirs' to 'add_module_data_files' and 'add_module_data_dir' methods
--Added slider support for FloatItem objects (contributor: julien.jaeck)
--( Issue 21 ) Added option 'size' in dataset edit and view methods to resize the generated dialog box (size may be a tuple of integers (width, height) or a QSize object)
2.Possible API compatibility issues (since v1.5.0)
--guidata now requires Python 2.6 (Python 2.5 support has been dropped)
3.Bug fixes (since v1.5.0)
--DataSet objects (de)serialization: fixed HDF5 reader/writer for FilesOpenItem and FloatArrayItem serialize/deserialize methods
--Fixed DataSet userconfig read/write test
--StringItem/ColorItem: fixed unicode/str issues in deserialization methods
--Added support for strings encoded in file system charset to avoid an error like "String %r is not UTF-8 encoded" when trying to set an item to a string value (path) obtained with a file system command
--configtools/image paths: handling file system encoded paths
--( Issue 14 ) Restored compatiblity with PyQt v4.4
