Textual 0.15.0 adds a tabs widget

We've just pushed Textual 0.15.0, only 4 days after the previous version. That's a little faster than our typical release cadence of 1 to 2 weeks.

What's new in this release?

The highlight of this release is a new Tabs widget to display tabs which can be navigated much like tabs in a browser. Here's a screenshot:

In a future release, this will be combined with the ContentSwitcher widget to create a traditional tabbed dialog. Although Tabs is still useful as a standalone widgets.

Tip

I like to tweet progress with widgets on Twitter. See the #textualtabs hashtag which documents progress on this widget.

Also in this release is a new LoadingIndicator widget to display a simple animation while waiting for data. Here's a screenshot:
