Acire 0.2 Released

by | Tue 12 Jan 2010

I am pleased to announce the second release of my little project to browse, read, run and learn from a library of Python examples. This release brings us:

* Examples now have syntax highlighting and use a better font for reading code.
* An awesome new icon designed by the ever-affable Martin Owens.
* Various bug fixes.

You can grab it from the Acire PPA by running these simple commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:acire-team/acire-releases
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install acire

For Acire to be in any way useful you will need to grab the Python Snippets library. Subscribe to the PPA and get a fresh batch of Python Snippets daily! Subscribe by just running these commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:python-snippets-drivers/python-snippets-daily
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-snippets

Rock and roll!

**UPDATE**: It turns out we had a few dependencies missing. You can fix this with:

sudo apt-get install python-gtksourceview python-gnomeprint

We will get the packaged fixed soon, but this will get you up and running. Thanks for the feedback, folks!
