===============================================
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 2.0.0 final release 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.
What is new when compared with PyS60 1.9.7?
-------------------------------------------
- Repeat support in 4-way directional pad
- Lot of memory leaks in the interpreter code is fixed.
- appuifw.app.track_allocations can be set if the interpreter should track all
memory allocations and then free the memory which was not explicitly released
before application exit. To debug memory leaks in 3rd party extension
modules set the value to false.
- All the Pyds that have zero UID will be assigned with the applications UID at the time of packaging.
As a result, Python applications can now be symbian signed. This opens the door for submitting Python applications to OVI Store.

- API cleanup in the SensorFW module.
- On the below mentioned devices Python runtime and its dependencies will be installed automatically
