What's Changed

Per #58 - despite its size, this is a small change is made to migrate code back to a single __init__.py module -- this fixes a problem where changes to global state may not work as expected

FreeSimpleGUIQt-v2.0.0

What's Changed

#57 Migrates to PySide6 from PySide2, which adds support for Python versions 3.11-3.13+ and drops support for Python<3.9 -- Users of Python3.8 or earlier will automatically continue to install version 1.x with PySide2.

Although this change has been tested as compatible with all the demo programs written against 1.x/PySide2, this is still signaled as a major version change.

v5.1.1

What's Changed

In this release, we introduced a significant refactor (specifically, introduced in #9) of the large FreeSimpleGUI module. This is just a first step we're taking towards making FreeSimpleGUI more maintainable and approachable for contributors. There's still a lot of work to do, but this change cuts the main module size in half, making it quite a bit easier for LSPs and Intellisense to keep up with changes. Elements are now tucked neatly away into their own modules within the new elements subpackage.

All names are imported back into the main package, so this change should be non-breaking.

We also moved the main module back to __init__.py instead of the internal FreeSimpleGUI.py module. This avoids a bug introduced by the initial refactor by which changes to global state (which is unfortunately used extensively) may not take effect properly in some cases.

Other minor changes and deprecations:

• The globals pil_imported and pil_import_attempted are no longer used internally. Attempting to access these globals will produce a deprecation warning.
• The behavior of the methods save_element_screenshot_to_disk and save_window_screenshot_to_disk returning None when PIL cannot be imported is deprecated. In a future version, calling save_element_screenshot_to_disk or save_window_screenshot_to_disk when PIL cannot be imported will raise an ImportError.
• This also fixes a bug where calling save_element_screenshot_to_disk or save_window_screenshot_to_disk would incidentally overwrite the Image element class due to use of the global keyword in these methods and importing the name Image from PIL whilst marking Image as global
• The methods timer_start, timer_stop, and timer_stop_usec are deprecated and will be removed in a future version. (code timing is not FreeSimpleGUI's wheelhouse, and these implementations are flawed in any case). Not to be confused with the Window class methods of the same name, which are unchanged.
• Using functions with CamelCase names that have snake_case function name replacements is deprecated and those camel-cased function aliases may be removed in a future version. Using these names will produce a deprecation warning.
• don't use deprecated names internally by @spyoungtech in #10

Enhancements from new contributors:

• theme_previewer changes. by @RoboPickle in #21
• Fix Nuitka cross compilation by @deajan in #27

v5.1.0

What's Changed

• remove upgrade and user data collection code by @spyoungtech in #6
• add black, flake8, reorder imports to pre-commit by @spyoungtech in #7

• As of this release, Python versions 3.8 through 3.12 are officially supported (though earlier versions may technically still be compatible). EOL versions of Python (3.7 and earlier) will not be supported for Python version related issues. No efforts will be made in future releases to ensure compatibility with EOL Python versions. (previously, 3.6 was the lowest compatible version).
• The fsgupgrade command (aka psgupgrade) was removed in #6 -- the only supported method for upgrading FreeSimpleGUI is via a package manager, like pip.
