Version 0.7 is here

Seems it’s a significantly large update. Not sure whether this is a good idea. But you all know, we live in covid times, and all plans were scrambled.

New features

• Open another file in the same window. A simple but missing feature that was implemented even without a ticket. Simply press o button to use it!
• Restore export into .dot format. Sometimes you may need to export your graph into an image to show it to other people. Just use following procedure:

$ sieben-manage dot my_file.db > output.dot
$ dot -Tpng -o graph.png output.dot

Bug fixes

• Zoom: inconsistent behavior when close zoom root
• Improve tests stability
• Migration: drop empty table ‘new_edges’ (crap left after previous migration)

Refactoring

• Replace Graph methods with commands (reduce coupling between classes)
• Extract common interface to the Goals class (reduce coupling between implementations)
• Toggle views independently from each other (inner preparations for a feature)

Compatibility breaks

• Do not open sieben.db file by default when called without argument. This “feature” exists from the very first version of application, but now it’s not actually used anymore.
• Use f-strings (no more Python3.5)

Other improvements

Various improvements in development process.

• Move from requirements.txt to Pipenv
• Update dependencies: PyQt5, Hypothesis, Pytest, Mypy, Pylint
• Add Black for formatting
• Fix some Mypy warnings

Plans for version 0.8

Well, not much yet. Look for issues and commits to stay in touch.
