0.4.4

• Triumphant return of the readthedocs page

  • Tutorial
  • Major step forward documenting the Python library, along with multiple tiny tweaks to the Python codebase. Mainly cleaned up & removed unused methods.

• Fix disappearing feature_parameters in new analysis dialog and on the configure page

• Add CLI commands to interact with the git repository

  • For end users that may not want to deal with git

  • Throwback to the “mandatory update system” of the olden days:

    update to new release versions if any are available, but when you

    actually want to.

• Setup ~ CLI commands

  • Deployment scripts execute shapeflow/setup/post-deploy.py as a setup step
  • shapeflow.cli.GetCompiledUi
  • shapeflow.cli.SetupCairo
  • shapeflow.cli.Declutter

• Make cairo an optional dependency

  • No longer depend on OnionSVG; design file rendering is now handled by shapeflow.design.onions.Peeler and shapeflow.design.render.Renderer.
  • SVG layer operations (lxml) are decoupled from rendering
  • Renderers are selected based on the system configuration: cairo is still the go-to option, but we can now fall back on Wand (ImageMagick) and the commandline interface of a Windows installation of Inkscape.

• Fix tkinter dialog windows not appearing on Windows

  • tkinter can’t handle not being in the main thread, which was the case in the “updated” version of ​​shapeflow.util.filedialog.
  • Should not have deprecated subprocess-based filedialog script; it was added in the first place to solve this issue.
  • Made subprocess-based file dialogs complain on cancel / error; this bug stayed unnoticed because they used to be silent about it.
