Release Notes for EPD version 5.1

EPD 5.1.0 was released on October 6, 2009. This is the last EPD release based on the Python 2.5 series. (EPD 6.0, which is planned to be released in December will be based on Python 2.6)

Enstaller 4.1.1

The update to Enstaller 4.1.1 introduces a command line tool called index-tool, which is intended for developers and system administrators. It allows creating an indexed repository of eggs which works with the enpkg command in Enstaller. All eggs which go into the repository need to contain additional metadata. These new eggs are created from ordinary setuptools eggs, and then be collected in an Running the 'index' command will then create the index, such that the directory (which contains all eggs and the index files) can be served to enpkg over HTTP.

there appears to be a problem with matplotlib on 64bit Solaris.
The progress bar in the OSX installer stalls toward the end, even though things are getting installed.

Release Notes for EPD version 5.0

The final release was made available on August 28, 2009.

Overall changes

dropped the term ETPLib, ETPLib is now simply EPD, (ETPCore is now EPDCore)
simplified egg names in repository, e.g. numpy-1.3.0n1-py2.5-win32.egg is now numpy-1.3.0-1.egg
the install of egg, i.e. during the install progress using an installer, as well as installing eggs from the public repository, is done with egginst (which is part of Enstaller). This results in faster install time.
Python package are no longer installed as "egg-directories" (setuptools installs), but rather simply into site-packages, which results in greatly improved import times, in particular for namespace packages.
dropped PPC support entirely, i.e. all binaries for OSX now only contain instructions for the i386 architecture. As a result, the size of the OSX installer is about 80MB smaller.

Release Notes for EPD Py25 v4.3.0 final

This release was made on 2009-05-20.

Improvements

ETPLib updates:
- Updated NumPy from 1.2.1 to 1.3.0
- Updated SciPy to pre-release of 1.8.0 in order to include newer features
- NumPy and SciPy are now linked against Atlas libs on Linux and Solaris.
- RemovedPyXML
Updated Enstaller from 3.0.9 to 3.1.0
- This adds support for easy install/update/rollback from our EPD repository for paid subscribers (Basic level and above.)
Made EPD version number shorter. It no longer "encodes" the versions of the ETPLib and ETS components.
"Dropped" PPC support on OS X. "Dropped" means that while we tried to build PPC support in, we did not test that it worked. Our resources are now being focused on x86_64 OS X 10.5 builds.

Fixes

Fixed idle not being installed correctly on Windows

Known Issues

The uninstall of Windows leaves a single file behind pywin32.pth
Uninstall on Windows does not remove system path entries (Ticket #564)
SciPy doesn't run on OS X PPC architecture machines due to "_cephes.so" being an intel only build.
