Python 1.9.7 S60v3/v5

Do you like this story?

What's new in 1.9.7

- Touch support added for GLCanvas UI Control. Directional pad is displayed
by default on Touch enabled devices. A sample application - gles_touch_demo.py
is added to ScriptShell which demonstrates the functionality.

- Two new APIs are added to canvas - begin_redraw and end_redraw. These can be
used to instruct the window server to enable redraw drawing on the canvas UI
control. Please refer the documentation (Section 3.1.10) for more details.
- The multi-selection listbox has been modified such that the dialog
for the option 'checkmark' now has 'Options' and 'Back' as its left and right
softkeys respectively. The 'Options' has Mark/Unmark entry that can be used
to select and de-select respectively. The 'Back' softkey returns the
current state of the listbox based on the selected items.

- 4-way directional pad support in landscape mode

- Different flavors of Scriptshell application can coexist on the device.

- Scribble application improvements:
- Performance improvement by using API's begin_redraw and end_redraw.
- The drawing area is retained between landscape and portrait
modes as the toolbar shifts to accommodate for this change.
- Pen width can be selected from a list of predefined values.

Corrected defects:
------------------
4251 - The compression type for the dll and exe files for Python is shown
as Deflate instead of Byte-pair.
4313 - Scrollbar visible afterwards, should not be there
4338 - Multiple lisbox objects decrease scroll performance
4349 - time.mktime() taking too much time to execute
