Python for S60 1.9.5 RELEASE NOTES,25.05.2009
Product Description
===================
Python for S60 (hereafter PyS60) is intended for developers looking to create programs that use the native features and resources of the S60 phones, using the Python programming language.
About this release
==================
This is the new 1.9.5 development series of PyS60. This release is intended only for S60 3rd edition, S60 3rd edition FP1, S60 3rd edition FP2 and S60 5th edition devices.
Note on versioning:
The versioning scheme in PyS60 releases is such that the releases with an even minor version (1.0.x, 1.2.x ...) are "stable" and releases with an odd minor version (1.1.x, 1.3.x ...) are "development" releases. This is thus a development release, meaning that it includes functionality that has not been tested as extensively as the stable releases. This release is provided as a preview to developers who wish to experiment with Python on S60 before the next final stable release.
