v0.2 (13-10-2015)

We changed a lot, broke API’s, improved things, and probbaly broke other things. Here’s a summary of the most important bits:

  • Set up Travis CI, and added more unit tests.
  • Layout of ui widgets is based on Phosphorjs.
  • Style compliance (and tested on Travis).
  • Refactored PyScript, and made it much more feature complete.
  • PyScript makes use of common ast, and now works on 3.2-3.5, and pypy.
  • We now have a way to include assets (js, css, images).
  • The assets make it possible to e.g. embed a Bokeh plot, or a jQuery widget.
