GarlicSim 0.7 release’s scope expanded, deadline postponed
Yeah, I’m postponing the deadline for GarlicSim 0.7 again. The new deadline for GarlicSim 0.7 is August 1st, 2011. (The old deadline was June 1st, 2011.)
The good news is that I’m adding a few more features besides those I promised in my original plans:
-
I’m vastly improving the
SimpackSelectionDialogwidget. This is what I’m trying to do with it:
(Thanks for the awesome mockup tool, Balsamiq!)
-
GarlicSim 0.7 is going to be PyPy-compatible! PyPy is a very exciting Python implementation project and it has a good chance of becoming the future of Python. And I want to be sure from the start that GarlicSim can be part of that future. (Do note that there is no wxPython installer available for PyPy yet, so I wasn’t able to ensure that the GarlicSim GUI works on PyPy; I only ensured the core logic does and that all its tests pass.)
Despite these added features, I feel kind of bad about postponing the release. I should have been more conservative with the deadline. This will definitely be a lesson for future GarlicSim releases. I’ll try to set more realistic deadlines from now on.
