Fixes an issue in the global search widget where matches with unicode characters in them would not appear.

v2.9.3

2020-Sep-14

Fixes a rare rendering glitch in a group view.

v2.9.2

2020-Feb-3

Fixes a date display issue in the activity stream and the search completion tool for the entity tree search widget in Python 3.

v2.9.1

2020-Feb-3

Fixes a few issues with the activity stream in Python 3.

v2.9.0

v2.8.6

2019-Nov-14

Fixes an issue when updating the content of the activity stream.

v2.8.5

2019-Oct-28

v2.8.4

2019-Oct-03

The context selector's my task drop down, now shows tasks assigned to a user's group as well as directly to the user.

v2.8.3

2019-Feb-27

Resolves an issue where placeholder thumbnails were never replaced in the activity stream widget.

Details:

There's now an interim period after a thumbnail image is uploaded to Shotgun where that image is not available for download. During this period, Shotgun provides a placeholder image. When our activity stream widget encountered one of these thumbnails, it would cache information about it that would be reused forever, rather than eventually being replaced with the "hero" thumbnail image. We now trigger a cache dump and rescan of the activity stream when we encounter these placeholder thumbnails.

v2.8.2

2018-Sep-19

Minor tweak to the activity stream to fix a crash bug in some PySide2 environments.

v2.8.1

Now uses internal QT screengrab logic on linux if imagemagick has not been set up.

v2.6.2

2017-May-16

Updates to the search widgets.

The HierarchySearchCompleter and GlobalSearchCompleter will now clear their contents when ESC is hit or a result picked from the dropdown.

v2.6.0

2017-May-03

Added hierarchy completer and overlay spinner widget

v2.5.18

2017-Mar-15

Removes problematic profiles from png files used as icons.

Details:

This will silence libpng warnings from Qt when the png files are loaded as pixmaps. This is a second attempt as this profile stripping, and uses ImageMagick's "mogrify" command to achieve the desired result, which maintains color consistency.

Details:

The new callback has been put into place to allow higher-level app code to do something like procedurally generate attachments for a new Note/Reply at the time of submission. In addition, the use of QtCore.Property in the version stream widget has been replaced with normal Python property() calls to ensure compatibility with more than just PySide (ie: PyQt4).

v2.3.0

2016-May-25

Adds editing functionality to shotgun fields widgets

v2.2.1

2015-Dec-09

HierarchicalFilteringProxyModel now listens to reset signals from its source model.
