Hi all,

What is it about?
-----------------

The PyGTK Shell provides widgets derived from PyGTK optimized for 
interactive programming as well as an interactive, extensible PyGTK 
console for the rapid prototyping of GUI applications. It can be 
embedded by PyGTK applications.

It is freely available under the GNU General Public License (GPL), 
version 2 or later.

Remember that 1.90.x are development releases — the API will change, so 
do not (yet) depend on it for large-scale developments.

Where can you find it?

New in 1.90.1
-------------

* A potential bug in `gtk.window_list_toplevels()` was worked around.
* The website got cleaned up.
* A TODO file was added.

New in 1.90.0
-------------

The release series 1.90.x is a major update! This series shares no 
(major) code with the previous 0.9.x release series.

There is now a public Git repository, and the documentation (and 
website) now uses AsciiDoc.

The development focus for 1.90.0 was a clean rewrite of the provided 
widget classes. It has some features that 0.9.1 does not have, but at 
the same time also lacks some of the features that 0.9.1 had. The major 
drawback is that no sophisticated console got included in this release 
(but a raw console is available). If you want a better console to work 
with, stay with the 0.9.1 release for now.

The future
----------

I hope to have a nice 2.0 ready by Christmas. :-)

Greetings,
- Felix
