If you're working with an older installation, make sure you check CHANGELOG.txt (included with source and demo packages) before upgrading. See below for older releases.

Packages require Python and other dependencies. See the appropriate installation page (overview, Windows, Mac OS X, linux, IRIX) for more details.

Living on the bleeding edge

Ongoing development efforts are incorporated into the source code repository at SourceForge. The the latest code means the latest bug fixes. Unfortunately, it may also mean that you're getting new bugs, experimental features which will change before a new release, and so on. Write code based on the bleeding edge at your own risk.

''CVS'' (concurrent version systems) is a suite of tools which allows you to track the development repository as it changes. This is the true bleeding edge. Access it on Vision Egg SourceForge CVS page. Follow the CVS usage directions on the SourceForge page. (Hint: use ''visionegg'' as modulename referred to by that page.)

Install this new version by running python setup.py install from the command line in the newly downloaded/updated directory. If you don't want to compile C code (or you don't have a C compiler), set the variable skip_c_compilation in setup.py to True. (You will need to be root or use ''sudo python setup.py install'' to overwrite already installed files on Unix platforms.)

Binary executable demos for Windows

This release lets you see what it's all about without installing Python. Download this for a self extracting archive with some of the Vision Egg demos compiled as Windows .exe files. Just remember that you cannot see the Python source code this way, so if you like the demos, install Python (see the installation page) and download the real Vision Egg.
