This is a major release that provides support for PySide 6.4 and 6.5 as well as Python 3.11. It includes a number of backwards-incompatible changes following the example of Pyface 8.0.0, most notable is moving the traitsui.qt4.* modules to traitsui.qt.*. As with Pyface 8.0 we include a backwards-compatibility mode which allows importing from the 'qt4' namespace via:
- setting the ETS toolkit to
"qt4" - setting the ETS_QT4_IMPORTS environment variable
- manually adding appropriate finders to sys.meta_path
This release also removes a number of features deprecated since TraitsUI 7.0.
