Spe 0.7
-------
    [4.a]
        Major bugfix release for wxPython 2.6+ (This version doesn't work for
        sure with wxPython versions lower than 2.5.4.1) Bug reports which are
        related to wxPython <2.6 will be ignored.
    [3.a]
        Major bugfix release for wxPython 2.5.4.1
    [2.a]
        The sidebar now features a file browser. I'm now trying to form a team
        for future development of SPE. Besides me four people will join the project:
            
            - Sam Widmer for CVS and bugfixes. So soon more collaboration on SPE
              will be possible.
            - Nir Aides (author of rpdb) for helping implementing the remote debugger
            - Kevin Walzer for the OS X Port of SPE. Please contact him for Mac specific
              issues. Spe for the Mac will be distributed through:
              http://www.wordtech-software.com/spe.html
            - Jelle Feringa for documentation. The goal is to provide a pdf manual with
              the SPE distribution based on the SPE wiki: http://www.stani.be/spe/wiki
              Anyone who has comments or wants to edit the wiki as well can contact Jelle.

        If you like SPE, please contribute by coding, writing documentation or
        donating. I would like to thank especially Michael Balk, who gave the largest
        donation ever to SPE.
        
        Also I would like to thank Michael Foord, who made SPE part of a new Python
        distribution, called "movable python". It gives you the possibility to carry your
        favorite developping environment on a USB stick. So you can continue your work on
        any computer or test your modules for different python versions. This distribution
        opens a lot of new possibilities, check it out!! For more info, visit
        http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/programs.shtml#movpy

    [1.a]
        I asked the ubuntu people for a python bounty in order to be get some
        funding to implement a debugger in SPE. Please support this.  Also I 
        want to put up a sponsering plan for SPE, comparable to eg Blender or 
        PyCon.  Till now I only receive sponsering from zettai_ Is there anyone 
        with some experience who could give some advice?
        
        There were a lot of nice reactions on the previous release. Mario 
        Lacunza even gave me my first gmail account and offered help to 
        translate SPE in Spanish.
        
        Anyway here you get another SPE release with again a new feature: 
        XRCed_, an xrc editor. Just like wxGlade, it is a tool to design GUIs
        with wxPython_. A bug prevented the uml view when there was only one 
        class. This is fixed now.
        
    [0.a]
        As a christmas present SPE offers you a built-in Python UML viewer. An
        Uml diagram is hierarchal 2d map of your classes. See http://spe.pycs.net/pictures/800x600/11.html
        for a nice screenshot. Attentive users notice that the uml view also uses 
        the separators of the class explorer for a better outline. Once you get used to it, 
        you can't live without.
        
        Recently I also have been helping Michael Foord with 'movable python', a python distro
        (including SPE!) which can run from a usb stick with no need for installing. 
        It's more handy than a laptop to carry your favorite Python environment around.
        More about that later...
        
        I see that still a lot of people are unfortunately downloading old tar.gz 
        versions. This makes absolutely no sense!!
        Because of problems with tar.gz archives on the blender website, Linux and Mac
        users must download the zip archive. I release them especially for that purpose.
        The exe installer is of course for Windows.
        
        Also from now on blenpy will be discontinued. Nobody
        seems to use it anyway. If you don't know what blenpy is, ... that's exactly
        what I mean.
        
        A special thanks for everyone who donates. That always pushes me to next
        release (hint,hint,...)
    
    :Batteries included:
      - Kiki:
          Regular Expression (regex) console. For more info:
          http://project5.freezope.org/kiki/index.html
      - PyChecker:
          PyChecker is a tool for finding bugs in python source code. It
          finds problems that are typically caught by a compiler for
          less dynamic languages, like C and C++. It is similar to lint.
          For more info: http://pychecker.sourceforge.net
      - wxGlade:
          wxGlade is a GUI designer written in Python with the
          popular GUI toolkit wxPython, that helps you create
          wxWindows/wxPython user interfaces. As you can guess by the
          name, its model is Glade, the famous GTK+/GNOME GUI builder,
          with which wxGlade shares the philosophy and the look & feel
          (but not a line of code). For more info:

Spe 0.6.0
---------
    I'm happy to announce the first SPE release aimed for the Mac Os X platform. 
    There might be still some minor issues, but if reported they might be fixed
    soon. All mac feedback is welcome. This release was possible by Xavier
    Nora who offered me access to his Mac through VNC.  If SPE doesn't startup
    on your Mac, probably your wxPython version is too old. 
    
    Now SPE also has real built-in support for encoding, so SPE can now deal
    with the most strange languages in the world. If the encoding is defined in
    the file it will appear in the sidebar.

Spe 0.5.0
---------
    This is a major rewrite because of wxPython 2.5. WARNING: This is a prerelease, use it at its own risk (as I do myself).  It's already quite stable for Windows XP and Linux, but probably for Mac OS X a lot of debugging should be done.
    
    If you've used SPE before, remove the file 'defaults.cfg' from your user path (see Help>About if you don't know your path) before installing . Also remove the 'sm' module folder from the site-packages path. Otherwise this will cause errors.
    
    Out of the box SPE chooses automatically the framework:
      - MDI for Windows XP
      - SDI for Linux and Mac Os X
    
    However you can override these settings in the preferences dialog box, but Mac doesn't really support MDI.
    
    The Blender support is currently not available, but that should be fixed soon.
    
    PS. Alberto Griggio about current version of wxGlade (http://wxglade.sourceforge.net):
    
    WARNING: There have been reported many problems running wxGlade with the just released wxPython 2.5.1.5: we know this, and we're trying to do our best to fix them as soon as possible. In the meantime, we recommend to use wxPython 2.4: the generated code will be compatible with 2.5 anyway. Sorry for this...

        - wxPython 2.5 support (latest 2.4 also still supported)
        - option to limit calltips to first paragraph
        - speed improvements, SPE runs now more fast, especially the sidebar
        - dynamic sash window for source code (allowing simultaneous splitted views)
        - Pychecker has been smoothly integrated in the sidebar
    
    :Bug fixes:
      [a]  
        - cut, copy and paste shortcuts work now in shell
        - True and False are now also highlighted
    
    :Requirements:

        - optional blender 2.31+
      
Spe 0.4.2
---------
    After some hibernation, spe is alive again. As I don't have Linux, I
    would like to get feedback if it is possible to run programs in
    terminal emulators.

    I would like to thank Chu-Ching Huang for including spe in livezope,
    his knoppix distro (bootabel Linux cd-rom). This makes it possible
    to run Linux and spe in Linux on any PC, without the need of
    installing Linux on the hard drive. You can download livezope from
    ftp://math.cgu.edu.tw/pub/KNOPPIX Huang is looking for mirror sites.
    I think this is VERY interesting to have a bootable Linux CD rom
    filled with all the important Python stuff, so please help him.
    Anyone interested can contact me

    :New features:
        - Ignore list for autocompletion in preferences dialog to
          prevent spe crashing eg with 'gtk' autocompletion
        - Blender browser contains now Lattices and Textures sections
        - Preferences has a new tab 'Paths', which allows you to
          specify which html browser should be used and where
          documentation can be found. It also should allow *nix users to
          run programs outside spe in terminal emulators (this was
          already possible for windows). 
        - Class browser: todo and separators definitions can now be
          located anywhere in the source code, thanks to a patch of
          Paul Evans.

Spe 0.3.0
---------
    Spe now ships with a minimal preference dialog box, which will be
    further extended. The most important editor settings can now be set, so

Spe 0.2.0
---------
    Spe now ships with wxGlade, a GUI designer! Screenshots are at
    http://wxglade.sourceforge.net/img/group.png A tutorial is included in
    the help menu.Now it acts independantly from spe, but the purpose is to
    integrate it tighter. The find tab is an example of how to extend spe
    with wxGlade. Spe runs now also fine inside Blender2.28c 

    Andrei compares wxGlade to Boa:        
    *"I like Boa and as Delphi programmer it was my first choice when
    I looked into GUIs. But as Python user, I find wxGlade suits my
    needs better, because it doesn't encourage integration of GUI
    and code and because of its excellent support for sizers, which
    are a must-have for cross-platform development. Those
    non-resizeable frames we are used to in Windows seem really
    weird to Linux users - and with good reason."*

Spe 0.1.8
---------
    Hopefully this release can be a milestone. For the first time it
    contains a plugin from an user. I would be happy if this would
    happen more. Any wxDialog, wxFrame or wxPanel can be easily
    integrated in spe.  So many thanks to Andrei (http://project5.tk),
    who contributed Kiki, a regular expression console.

    :New features:
        [a]
          - Kiki:
              *"Kiki is a Regex tool which I think could be useful in
              Spe for the idiots who, like me, aren't capable of
              Thinking In Regex. It's inspired by - but has no code at
              all in common with - a Tkinter tool called Recon (regex
              console). I've attached the current snapshot, which is
              very much not the finished product, even though it does
              work. Planned features include: colored parentheses
              showing the start/end of groups in re matches (currently
              parens just wrap the match), overviews of all named and
              unnamed groups for every match, docs in the Help."*

-----------------------------------------------------------

Spe 0.1.6
---------

    This release normally should have been on the blender_ website.
    Unfortunately this is not possible. Therefore the latest release
    will be available from the link *Download latest release* under the
    calendar of http://spe.pycs.net

    The focus in the spe development for the recent time has been to
    make it as stable as possible for Linux. This release should run
    without (major) problems outside blender_ in Linux (see also
    *External bugs*). Following information is relative to 0.1.5.c:

    :New features:
        - Blender API documentation
        - linux wrapper script to launch spe from the console
        - spe updated for python_ 2.3
        - spe help manual (Help menu>Manual)
        - help window resizable
        - blender_ python_ API documentation added to help menu
        - homepage: http://spe.pycs.net (thanks to pyds_ and pycs_)
        - webbrowser used for displaying bigger help files in blenpy and spe
        - keyboard shortcuts in separate configurable python file

    :Requirements:
        - full python_ 2.2 or 2.3
        - wxpython_ 2.4.1.2
        - optional blender_ 2.28a (updated!)
        
    :Known Issues:
        - Keyboard copy&paste operations in shell are stolen by editor.
         
    :External bugs:
        - the Linux blender_ binaries of blender_.org are unfortunately
          not compatible with spe.  blender_ still uses an old version of
          the libpng (1.0.x), while spe requires a newer version.
          Therefore compile blender_ from the sources with libpng 1.2.x
          to make spe running in blender_. This problem doesn't apply to
          Windows users, as the windows blender_ binary ships strangely
          enough already with the new version of libpng.
        - View end of line marker fails (probably wxpython_ bug)

    :Fixes:
        - class browser fixed
        - usermenu problem
        - spe can now close without open documents
        - sidebar updates automatically when it gets focus
        - enter now doesn't generate extra spaces with auto-complete
        - blender_ 2.28a no longer crashes by exploring the Text window
