I continued working on the Python GTK+ 3 Tutorial since I announced it almost a month ago. I added a section describing the Gtk.Grid widget, menus, dialogs and Gtk.TextView, the latter just added today. In addition, I added screenshots for all examples and merged a couple of grammar/typo fixes from other people. The current contents should cover the most important widgets and should allow you to create more complex applications.

One of the big advantages of PyGTK is that it is documented very well. Unfortunately, despite the efforts to make PyGObject as compatible to PyGTK as possible, the differences are still huge. A big portion is due to the changes between GTK+ version 2 and 3, of course. To date, you basically have to look into the GIR file or C reference manual to try to figure out how things work. Once you are familiar with the way C functions are converted to Python, you can guess most methods.

The Past
I recently finished my Master thesis and can now call myself Master of Science. The thesis itself couldn't turn out any better as it did. The goal was to implement a method that is capable to predict the relative location along the longitudinal axis of a slice of a X-ray computed tomography (CT) volume. The motivation behind this is to speed up the process when a physician wants to compare two CT volumes against each other. Usually, the patient's data can be accessed over the network and a single CT volume can contain more than thousand images taking more than 1 GB disk space. In addition, most physicians are only interested in one particular area they want to compare. Accordingly, it would be waste of resources if one has to transfer and load two complete volumes and manually navigate to the area of interest. The methods developed in this thesis allow the physician to select the area of interest (on the longitudinal axis) in one volume and only transfer and load the corresponding area in the other volume. Obviously, you get the biggest benefit if the volume contains a large amount of images and the region of interest is relatively small.

Last Wednesday marked the 3 year anniversary of GNOME DVB Daemon, all started with this commit. 1155 commits later, I am pleased to announce version 0.2.1. This release fixes a bug that localization in the GUI did not work correctly. In addition, DVB-T brute-force scan works correctly, again.

This release fixes small issues in the in daemon and GUI. It should be considered the stable version for GNOME3.

As promised, I am pleased to announce GNOME DVB Daemon 0.1.90. This is first release to achieve GNOME3-compatibility. I started the porting process back in January when I attended the Python Hackfest in Prague. I've been busy doing other stuff since, mainly writing a master thesis.

I decided to abandon Launchpad and move everything related to GNOME DVB Daemon over to the GNOME infrastructure. Therefore, the bug tracker is now located at Bugzilla, the source in GIT and translations in Damned Lies. The Bazaar branch at Launchpad is now a copy of git master.
