Pre-built wheels are available on PyPI and can be installed with pip install LinkPython-extern==1.2.0.

Python 3.7 support has been dropped as pybind11 and cibuildwheel 3.0.0+ no longer support it. If you require this package on Python 3.7, you must install LinkPython-extern==1.1.1.

Full Changelog: v1.1.1...v1.2.0

v1.1.1

This release fixes the project not building on newer versions of CMake by specifying 4.0 as the maximum CMake version in CMakeLists.txt.

Pre-built wheels are available on PyPI and can be installed with pip install LinkPython-extern==1.1.1, which now includes the Linux platforms armv7l, aarch64, ppc64le, and s390x. On Windows, ARM64 remains unsupported.

v1.1.0

This release introduces a few new methods to the API, type stubs to help provide documentation and type-checking, and preliminary support for Python 3.13. Pre-built wheels are available on PyPI and can be installed with pip install LinkPython-extern==1.1.0.

The new methods added are:

• SessionState.forceBeatAtTime(beat, time, quantum)
• SessionState.timeForIsPlaying()
• SessionState.requestBeatAtStartPlayingTime(beat, quantum)
• SessionState.setIsPlayingAndRequestBeatAtTime(isPlaying, time, beat, quantum)
• Link.captureAppSessionState()
  • Canonical name provided by Link, deprecates Link.captureSessionState()
• Link.commitAppSessionState()
  • Canonical name provided by Link, deprecates Link.commitSessionState()

As a consequence of adding type stubs, the underlying extension module has been renamed to _link.

Python 3.6 support has been dropped due to the new build system configuration. setuptools-scm is now used for versioning.
