DearPyGui v0.4.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-09-29 // over 3 years ago
  • Background

    All, this is one of the biggest releases to date. We apologize in advance for breaking any code. This release served 3 purposes:

    1. Solidify current API's features for Version 1.0
    2. Complete plotting capabilities ๐Ÿšง 3. Prepare the backend for more long term maintenance.

    Notes:

    • 99% of the current API will remain for version 1.0. We don't plan on breaking backwards compatibility for the current API unless there is a very good reason and it will extremely isolated.
    • ๐Ÿ“š I'm sure we missed some changes. It would be best to review the documentation.
    • ๐Ÿ‘‰ Checkout the new show_demo command in dearpygui.demo
    • Some previous commands are now in dearpygui.simple.
    • Several widgets received a considerable amount of new flags, please review.
    • ๐Ÿ”ง Every keyword you used to create a widget can now be modified with configure_item("some widget", keyword1=blah, keyword2=blah).
    • โšก๏ธ The examples have been updated to work, however they are not necessarily the best reference on best way to use the library. We will be updating this soon.
    • ๐Ÿ“š The documentation has been updated, but will need to be massively extended to include all the new features and possibilities.
    • The data source system has been separated from the widget shared value system.
