TraitsUI 7.2.0 is a minor release which includes numerous bug fixes,
documentation improvements, code maintenance changes, and enhancements.

Highlights of this release

  • The migration from on_trait_change to observe is underway. As a
    result, TraitsUI now requires Traits >= 6.2.
  • New display-only VideoEditor (currently only on Qt backend).
  • Exapnsion of features for the new UITester including the ability to
    inspect UI object visibility / enabledness. Also documentation for testing
    has been updated.

Notes on upgrading

  • This release of TraitsUI now depends on Traits 6.2+ and pyface 7.2+. Also,
    deprecated code / modules have been removed. Namely, the
    :mod:traitsui.image <traitsui.image> module which was moved to
    pyface.image, editors_gen modules, Editor and EditorFactory factory
    methods on Toolkit objects, and more. For a complete list, see PRs in the
    "Removals" section below. These were all generally unused / deprecated for
    sometime. Also, importing directly from traitsui.editors has been
    deprecated. Please update imports to import directly from :mod:traitsui.api
    or :mod:traitsui.editors.api.
