The PySide team is happy to announce the availability of N900 packages
for the third beta release of PySide: Python for Qt. PySide provides a
complete set of LGPL-licensed Qt bindings for Python, including full QML
and QtMobility support. Any software written for N900 using PySide will
work as-is on the upcoming Harmattan and MeeGo platforms.

The binary packages for PySide 1.0.0~beta3 are already available in the
maemo.org extras-devel repository. To use them, install the
python-pyside metapackage which depends on every individual module
package. Respectively, PySide Mobility may be installed using the
python-qtmobility metapackage.

The source code packages can be acquired by referring to our download
wiki page [1] or by pulling the relevant tagged versions from our git
repositories [2].

Major changes since 1.0.0~beta2
===============================

This is a bugfix release. Since beta2, a total of 35 bugs have been
fixed. See the list of fixed bugs at the end of this message.

Path towards 1.0 release
========================

There are still some outstanding bugs in our Bugzilla [3]. To have these
fixed, we plan to do at least one beta or release candidate release
before 1.0. The next release will happen in two weeks.

About PySide
============

PySide is the Nokia-sponsored Python Qt bindings project, providing
access to not only the complete Qt 4.7 framework but also Qt Mobility,
as well as to generator tools for rapidly generating bindings for any
Qt-based libraries.

The PySide project is developed in the open, with all facilities you'd
expect from any modern OSS project such as all code in a git repository
[2], an open Bugzilla [5] for reporting bugs, and an open design process
[4]. We welcome any contribution without requring a transfer of copyright.
