1 | CHANGES.txt for wxPython |
2 | ||
3 | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | |
4 | ||
3ef86e32 RD |
5 | 2.5.0.x |
6 | ------- | |
7 | ||
8 | Many, many little fixes, changes and additions done as part of the move | |
9 | to wxWindows 2.5 that I have forgotten about. | |
10 | ||
11 | Changed the import-startup-bootstrap process employed by wxPython such | |
12 | that wxWindows and the underlying gui toolkit are not initialized | |
13 | until the wxApp object is created (but before wxApp.OnInit is called.) | |
14 | This was required because of changes made to the C++ wxApp class. | |
15 | There are both benefits and potential problems with this change. The | |
16 | benefits are that you can import wxPython without requiring access to | |
17 | a GUI (for checking version numbers, etc.) and that in a | |
18 | multi-threaded environment the thread that creates the app object will | |
19 | now be the GUI thread instead of the one that imports wxPython. Some | |
20 | potential problems are that the C++ side of the "stock-objects" | |
21 | (wxBLUE_PEN, wxTheColourDatabase, etc.) are not initialized until the | |
22 | wxApp object is created, so you should not use them until then. Also, | |
23 | you will probably not be able to do any kind of GUI operation unless | |
24 | you have an app object first, (even on Windows where most anything was | |
25 | possible beofre.) | |
26 | ||
27 | Added wxMirrorDC. | |
28 | ||
29 | Added wxIconLocation | |
30 | ||
31 | wxPython's setup.py script now expects to use existing libraries for | |
32 | the contribs (gizmos, stc, xrc, etc.) rather than building local | |
33 | copies of them. | |
34 | ||
3628e088 RD |
35 | Added Python wrappers for the new wxVScrolledWindow, wxVListBox, and |
36 | wxHtmlListBox classes. | |
3ef86e32 | 37 | |
edadef3f RD |
38 | Added wrappers for wxBookCtrl and wxListbook. wxNotebook now derives |
39 | from wxBookCtrl. | |
40 | ||
3ef86e32 RD |
41 | |
42 | ||
43 | ||
1fded56b | 44 | 2.4.1.x |
1e4a197e RD |
45 | ------- |
46 | ||
1fded56b RD |
47 | Use wxSTC in the demo for displaying the soucre code of the samples. |
48 | ||
49 | ||
50 | ||
51 | ||
52 | ||
53 | 2.4.1.2 | |
54 | ------- | |
55 | ||
56 | Added wxScrolledPanel from Will Sadkin | |
57 | ||
58 | Added SetShape method to top level windows (e.g. wxFrame.) | |
59 | ||
60 | Changed wxSWIG to not generate Python code using apply, (since it will | |
61 | be deprecated in the future) wxSWIG will use spam(*args, **kw) syntax | |
62 | instead. Also changed the generated __repr__ methods to be a bit more | |
63 | informative. | |
64 | ||
65 | Made the version number information more robust and uh, informative. | |
66 | Also added asserts to check that the major.minor versions of wxPython | |
67 | and wxWindows match. | |
68 | ||
69 | Added the new wx "renamer" package that will dynamically import from | |
70 | the wxPython package and rename wxFooBar --> FooBar. That means that | |
71 | people can do imports without "import *" and can use names like | |
72 | wx.Frame instead of wx.wxFrame. This is phase 1 of a full transition | |
73 | to the new namespace. | |
74 | ||
75 | Updated Scintilla to 1.52. I also changed it to use wxListCtrl | |
76 | instead of wxListBox for the AutoComplete window, added the ability to | |
77 | use custom bitmaps in the margin and in the AutoComplete windows, and | |
78 | worked out how to do proper clipping of child windows on wxGTK. | |
79 | ||
80 | Patrick O'Brien's PyCrust package has been renamed to Py and now | |
81 | includes several new tools. As part of the change the location of the | |
82 | pacakge has changed as well, it is now accessible as "from wxPython | |
83 | import py" (or "from wx import py" using the new namespace.) There | |
84 | are still some transition modules in the wxPython.lib.PyCrust package | |
85 | that will issue a warning and then import what is needed from the new | |
86 | package. These will be removed in a future release. | |
87 | ||
88 | Added __nonzero__ method to wxTreeItemId, wxBitmap, wxImage, wxFont, | |
89 | and most other classes that have an Ok or IsOK method. This allows | |
90 | code like "if obj: ..." to be the same as "if obj.IsOk(): ..." | |
91 | ||
92 | Toolbars on wxMac can now have controls on them. | |
93 | ||
94 | Added wxPython.lib.analogclock module based on samples that were | |
95 | passed back and forth on wxPython-users a while back. | |
96 | ||
97 | Added masked edit controls (wxPython.lib.maskededit) by Jeff Childers | |
98 | and Will Sadkin. Updated wxTimeCtrl to use MaskedEdit. | |
99 | ||
100 | When the __class__ of a dead object is replaced with _wxPyDeadObject | |
101 | the __del__ of the original class is now called first. | |
102 | ||
103 | Added wxTreeListCtrl. (Looks like a wxTreeCtrl embedded in a | |
104 | wxListCtrl, but actually is just giving multiple columns to a | |
105 | wxTreeCtrl.) | |
106 | ||
107 | Added wxFutureCall, a subclass of wxTimer that makes it easy to delay | |
108 | a call to any Python callable object. | |
109 | ||
110 | Added wxPy versions of wxPrintPreview, wxPreviewFrame, and | |
111 | wxPreviewControlBar so they can be derived from in Python and be able | |
112 | to override the C++ virtual methods. | |
113 | ||
114 | Simplified how the wxSizer methods are wrapped, changed the name of | |
115 | the "option" parameter to "proportion" to match the docs ("option" is | |
116 | still accepted for compatibility, but this will go away in a future | |
117 | release,) SetItemMinSize can now take a wxSize (or 2-tuple) parameter, | |
118 | and Spacers can be specified with a wxSize (or 2-tuple) parameter | |
119 | ||
120 | Added wxCursorFromBits. | |
121 | ||
122 | ||
1e4a197e RD |
123 | |
124 | ||
125 | ||
126 | 2.4.0.7 | |
127 | ------- | |
128 | Gave up on generating a warning upon the use of the old true/false or | |
129 | TRUE/FALSE values. | |
130 | ||
131 | Fixed wxGenericTreeCtrl (used on wxGTK and wxMac for wxTreeCtrl) so | |
132 | that it can successfully handle lots of nodes instead of overflowing | |
133 | when the virtual height of the widget overflowed a 16-bit value. | |
134 | ||
135 | Fixed the typemap that converts strings to wxColours to also accept | |
136 | unicode. | |
137 | ||
138 | Fixed problem where the wrong class name could sometimes be used for | |
139 | OOR. | |
140 | ||
141 | Fixed an interpreter lock problem in the __eq__ and __ne__ methods in | |
142 | wxSize and etc. | |
143 | ||
144 | Updated PyCrust to version 0.9 | |
145 | ||
146 | Instead of always logging C++ assertions, added wxPYAPP_ASSERT_LOG | |
147 | flag to turn it on. In most cases turning it into an exception (the | |
148 | default behavior) is enough. See below in the 2.3.4.1 notes for more | |
149 | details. | |
150 | ||
151 | ||
152 | ||
153 | ||
154 | 2.4.0.6 (a.k.a. the I'm so stupid release) | |
155 | ------- | |
156 | The new deprecation class for the old true/false symbols can now be | |
157 | returned from OnInit. And I promise to be sure I am testing what I | |
158 | think I am testing in the future... | |
159 | ||
160 | ||
161 | ||
162 | 2.4.0.5 (a.k.a. the blame it on Kevin release) | |
163 | ------- | |
164 | A few little but annoying bug fixes. | |
165 | ||
166 | Updated pycolourchooser. | |
167 | ||
168 | Updated to 0.9b of PyCrust. | |
169 | ||
170 | ||
171 | ||
172 | 2.4.0.4 | |
173 | ------- | |
174 | Added missing wxRect methods | |
175 | ||
176 | Add OOR support for wxApp objects too. | |
177 | ||
178 | Added wxCursorFromImage, which works on wxMSW and wxGTK so far. | |
179 | ||
180 | All platforms now send EVT_DESTROY_WINDOW. Be warned that at the time | |
181 | the event is sent the window is in the process of being deconstructed, | |
182 | and so calling some (most?) methods of the window itself may cause | |
183 | problems. | |
184 | ||
185 | Fixed SF Bug #689481, a method in the OGL wrappers was using the wrong | |
186 | return type. | |
187 | ||
188 | Fixed SF Bug #689958, an endless loop in printout.py. | |
189 | ||
190 | Added EVT_WINDOW_CREATE_ID and EVT_WINDOW_DESTROY_ID so these events | |
191 | can be associated with a specific window ID and more easily caught by | |
192 | the parent window. | |
193 | ||
194 | Fixed copy-paste error in wxListCtrl.GetFirstSelected. | |
195 | ||
196 | Added missing Init method (and an overloading wrapper) to wxLocale | |
197 | wrapper. | |
198 | ||
199 | Added a wxBitmap.SetMaskColour convenience method. | |
200 | ||
201 | Changed how the dynamic event tables (used for all Python wx classes, | |
202 | C++ wx classes typically use static event tables) are searched such | |
203 | that they behave from a Python perspective more like the static tables | |
204 | in C++. Namely that if there are identical event bindings in a base | |
205 | Python class and a derived Python class that the one in the derived | |
206 | class will be found first and that if Skip is called that the one in | |
207 | the base class will still be found instead of skipping directly to the | |
208 | static stable in the C++ class. | |
209 | ||
210 | Switched to using True/False in the wxPython lib and demo instead of | |
211 | true/false or TRUE/FALSE to prepare for the new boolean type and | |
212 | constants being added to Python. Added code to wx.py to test for the | |
213 | existence of the new constants and to create suitable values if not | |
214 | present. | |
215 | ||
216 | Added some static wxApp functions that help with integration with the | |
217 | Mac UI. They are no-ops on other platforms so it doesn't hurt to | |
218 | always call them. The functions are: | |
219 | ||
220 | wxApp_GetMacDefaultEncodingIsPC | |
221 | wxApp_GetMacSupportPCMenuShortcuts | |
222 | wxApp_GetMacAboutMenuItemId | |
223 | wxApp_GetMacPreferencesMenuItemId | |
224 | wxApp_GetMacExitMenuItemId | |
225 | wxApp_GetMacHelpMenuTitleName | |
226 | wxApp_SetMacDefaultEncodingIsPC | |
227 | wxApp_SetMacSupportPCMenuShortcuts | |
228 | wxApp_SetMacAboutMenuItemId | |
229 | wxApp_SetMacPreferencesMenuItemId | |
230 | wxApp_SetMacExitMenuItemId | |
231 | wxApp_SetMacHelpMenuTitleName | |
232 | ||
233 | Refactored, enhanced and added capabilities for the DrawXXXList | |
234 | functions, inspired by code from Chris Barker. | |
235 | ||
236 | The wxWindows .mo language catalog files are now installed in a | |
237 | subdirectory of the wxPython package dir on MSW since that platform | |
238 | doesn't have a standard place for them. | |
239 | ||
240 | Added missing deselect methods for wxGrid. | |
241 | ||
242 | Fixed typemaps for wxGridCellCoordsArray. | |
243 | ||
244 | Updated to the 0.9a version of PyCrust | |
245 | ||
246 | ||
247 | ||
248 | 2.4.0.2 | |
249 | ------- | |
250 | Several bug fixes. | |
251 | ||
252 | Added wxIntCtrl from Will Sadkin. | |
253 | ||
254 | Added wxPyColourChooser by Michael Gilfix. | |
255 | ||
256 | ||
257 | ||
258 | ||
259 | 2.4.0.1 | |
260 | ------- | |
261 | No major new features since 2.3.4.2, mostly bug fixes and minor | |
262 | enhancements. | |
263 | ||
264 | Added function wrappers for the common dialogs from Kevin Altis. See | |
265 | wxPython/lib/dialogs.py for more details. | |
266 | ||
267 | ||
268 | ||
269 | 2.3.4.2 | |
270 | ------- | |
271 | Various bug fixes. | |
272 | ||
273 | ||
274 | ||
275 | 2.3.4.1 | |
276 | ------- | |
277 | Updated XRCed and wxTimeCtrl contribs. | |
278 | ||
279 | Show a couple new wxGrid features in the demo. | |
280 | ||
281 | Several bug fixes in wxWindows. | |
282 | ||
283 | Added wxHtmlFilter. | |
284 | ||
285 | wxASSERT and related C++ runtime diagnostics are now converted to | |
286 | Python exceptions. When an assert happens a wxPyAssertionError | |
287 | (which derives from AssertionError) exception is created and when | |
288 | control returns back to the Python code that invoked the C++ API it | |
289 | will be raised. The same exception restrictions are in place as | |
290 | before, namely that exceptions can't cross from one Python layer | |
291 | through C++ to another Python layer. That simply means that if you | |
292 | want to catch wxPyAssertionError or any other exception that you need | |
293 | to do it before control returns to C++ at the end of your event | |
294 | handler or callback code. There is some test code in demo/wxButton.py | |
295 | you can use to play with this new feature. | |
296 | ||
297 | Added some methods to wxApp (SetAssertMode and GetAssertMode) that let | |
298 | you control how C++ assertions are processed. Valid modes are: | |
299 | wxPYAPP_ASSERT_SUPPRESS, wxPYAPP_ASSERT_EXCEPTION, and | |
300 | wxPYAPP_ASSERT_DIALOG. Using _SUPPRESS will give you behavior like | |
301 | the old "final" builds and the assert will be ignored, _EXCEPTION is | |
302 | the new default described above, and _DIALOG is like the default in | |
303 | 2.3.3.1 and prior "hybrid" builds. You can also combine _EXCEPTION | |
304 | and _DIALOG if you wish, although I don't know why you would. | |
305 | ||
306 | You can now overload OnInitGui, OnExit and OnAssert in your classes | |
307 | derived from wxApp. | |
308 | ||
309 | Added GetSelectedCells, GetSelectionBlockTopLeft, | |
310 | GetSelectionBlockBottomRight, GetSelectedRows, GetSelectedCols nethods | |
311 | to wxGrid. | |
312 | ||
313 | Added Python == and != operators for some basic classes | |
314 | ||
315 | Fixed the Python wrappers for wxInputStream so they no longer block | |
316 | when reading from a wxProcess on wxGTK. They now work more or less as | |
317 | they did before 2.3.3.1 but the dual meaning of eof() has been | |
318 | removed. There is now a CanRead() method that lets you know if there | |
319 | is data waiting to be read from the pipe. | |
320 | ||
321 | Fixed method name clash in wxIEHtmlWin, renamed Refresh to RefreshPage. | |
322 | ||
323 | Added Throbber from Cliff Wells to the library and the demo. | |
324 | ||
325 | Windows installer prompts to uninstall old version first. | |
326 | ||
327 | Added wxPython.lib.evtmgr by Robb Shecter, which is an easier, more | |
328 | "Pythonic" and more OO method of registering handlers for wxWindows | |
329 | events using the Publish/Subscribe pattern. | |
330 | ||
331 | Added wxPython.lib.popupctl by Gerrit van Dyk which is a combobox-like | |
332 | gizmo for poping up arbitrary controls. It is currently using | |
333 | wxDialog because of some issues with wxPopupWindow... | |
334 | ||
335 | Added wxPython.lib.gridmovers by Gerrit van Dyk which facilitates the | |
336 | dragging of columns and/or rows in a wxGrid. | |
337 | ||
338 | Added wxPython.lib.multisash by Gerrit van Dyk which is a nice | |
339 | implementation of allowing the user to split a window any number of | |
340 | times either horizontally or vertically, and to close the split off | |
341 | windows when desired. | |
342 | ||
343 | Added helpviewer tool that displays HTML books similarly to how MS | |
344 | HTMLHelp viewer does. Changed how the wxPythonDocs tarball is built | |
345 | and added a script to launch the doc viewer. | |
346 | ||
347 | ||
348 | ||
349 | ||
350 | 2.3.3.1 | |
351 | ------- | |
b5a5d647 RD |
352 | Added wxSplashScreen. |
353 | ||
68320e40 RD |
354 | Added wxGenericDirCtrl. |
355 | ||
ce914f73 | 356 | Added wxMultiChoiceDialog. |
68320e40 | 357 | |
769a9cb2 | 358 | The calltip window and autocomplete window in wxSTC will now use a |
bffe56c5 RD |
359 | wxPopupWindow if available on the platform (and functioning correctly) |
360 | so they can extend beyond the client area of the STC if needed. | |
769a9cb2 | 361 | |
f74ff5ef RD |
362 | Finished wrapping and providing typemaps for wxInputStream and also |
363 | added the stream ctor and other methods for wxImage so images can now | |
364 | be loaded from any Python "file-like" object. | |
365 | ||
afb810d9 RD |
366 | Changed the img2py tool to use PNG instead of XPM for embedding image |
367 | data in Python source code, and the generated code now uses streams to | |
368 | convert the image data to wxImage, wxBitmap, or wxIcon. | |
f74ff5ef | 369 | |
68bc8549 RD |
370 | Added the wxPython.lib.rcsizer module which contains RowColSizer. |
371 | This sizer is based on code from Niki Spahiev and lets you specify a | |
372 | row and column for each item, as well as optional column or row | |
373 | spanning. Cells with no item assigned to it are just left blank. | |
374 | Stretchable rows or columns are specified and work the same as in | |
375 | wxFlexGridSizer. | |
96de41c2 | 376 | |
18fc9fa3 RD |
377 | Updated XRCed from Roman Rolinsky |
378 | ||
e9159fe8 RD |
379 | Added wxBufferedDC. |
380 | ||
a834585d | 381 | Upgraded wxSTC from Scintilla 1.40 to Scintilla 1.45, and then again |
f114b858 | 382 | to version 1.47, and one more time to 1.48! <wink> |
1a2fb4cd | 383 | |
b96c7a38 | 384 | UNICODE! |
b96c7a38 RD |
385 | wxWindows/wxPython can be compiled with unicode support enabled or |
386 | disabled. Previous to wxPython 2.3.3 non-unicode mode was always | |
387 | used. Starting with 2.3.3 either mode is supported, but only if | |
36d91193 | 388 | it is also available in wxWindows on the platform. Currently |
b96c7a38 RD |
389 | wxWindows only supports unicode on MS Windows platforms, but with |
390 | the recent release of GTK+ 2.0 it is only a matter of time until | |
391 | it can be done on wxGTK (Linux and other unixes) as well. | |
392 | ||
393 | Unicode works best on platforms in the NT branch of the Windows | |
394 | family tree (NT, win2k, XP) but it is now also possible to use the | |
395 | same unicode binaries on win95/98/ME platforms as well! This is | |
36d91193 RD |
396 | done by using a special library and DLL with the application |
397 | called MSLU, (Microsoft Layer for Unicode). It simply gets out of | |
398 | the way if the app is run on an NT box, otherwise if run on a | |
399 | win9x box it loads a special DLL that provides the unicode | |
400 | versions of the windows API. So far I have not been able to get | |
401 | this to work perfectly on win9x. Most things work fine but | |
402 | wxTaskBarIcon for example will cause a crash if used with the | |
403 | unicode build on win95. | |
b96c7a38 RD |
404 | |
405 | So how do you use it? It's very simple. When unicode is enabled, | |
406 | then all functions and methods in wxPython that return a wxString | |
407 | from the C++ function will return a Python unicode object, and | |
408 | parameters to C++ functions/methods that expect a wxString can | |
409 | accept either a Python string or unicode object. If a string | |
410 | object is passed then it will be decoded into unicode using the | |
411 | converter pointed to by wxConvCurrent, which will use the default | |
412 | system encoding. If you need to use a string in some other | |
413 | encoding then you should convert it to unicode using the Python | |
414 | codecs first and then pass the unicode string to the wxPython | |
415 | method. | |
416 | ||
726fc00a | 417 | Added wxListCtrlAutoWidthMixin from Erik Westra. |
b96c7a38 | 418 | |
0e9b78ce RD |
419 | Added wxIconBundle and wxTopLevelWindow.SetIcons. |
420 | ||
68bc8549 RD |
421 | Added wxLocale and wxEncodingConverter. |
422 | ||
c8b34a16 RD |
423 | A little black magic... When the C++ object (for a window or |
424 | whatever) is deleted there is no way to force the Python shadow object | |
425 | to also be destroyed and clean up all references to it. This leads to | |
426 | crashes if the shadow object tries to call a method with the old C++ | |
427 | pointer. The black magic I've done is to replace the __class__ in the | |
428 | Python instance object with a class that raises an exception whenever | |
429 | a method call (or other attribute access) is attempted. This works | |
430 | for any class that is OOR aware. | |
0e9b78ce | 431 | |
33ff77f6 RD |
432 | Added OOR support for wxGridCellRenderer, wxGridCellEditor, |
433 | wxGridCellAttr, wxGridCellAttrProvider, wxGridTableBase and their | |
2d956b58 | 434 | derived classes. |
33ff77f6 | 435 | |
d55d6b3f RD |
436 | Added wxImage.GetDataBuffer which returns an in-place edit buffer of |
437 | the image data. (Patch #546009) | |
33ff77f6 | 438 | |
94e36a51 RD |
439 | Added a sample that shows how to embed wxPython in a wxWindows C++ |
440 | application. | |
b5a5d647 | 441 | |
3b867149 RD |
442 | Added wxPyWindow, wxPyPanel and wxPyControl which are just like their |
443 | wx counterparts except they allow some of the more common C++ virtual | |
b0e5c039 RD |
444 | methods to be overridden in Python derived classes. The methods |
445 | supported are: | |
446 | ||
447 | DoMoveWindow | |
448 | DoSetSize | |
449 | DoSetClientSize | |
450 | DoSetVirtualSize | |
451 | DoGetSize | |
452 | DoGetClientSize | |
453 | DoGetPosition | |
454 | DoGetVirtualSize | |
455 | DoGetBestSize | |
456 | InitDialog | |
457 | TransferDataFromWindow | |
458 | TransferDataToWindow | |
459 | Validate | |
460 | AcceptsFocus | |
461 | AcceptsFocusFromKeyboard | |
462 | GetMaxSize | |

466 | If there are other methods that you think should be supported |
467 | please let me know. | |
b0e5c039 RD |
468 | |
469 | Changed wxGenButton to derive from wxPyControl and overload | |
470 | DoGetBestSize and AcceptsFocus. | |
471 | ||
a66212dc RD |
472 | Added wxArtProvider. |
473 | ||
474 | Added wxCallAfter which is a helper function that registers a function | |
f9b24f07 RD |
475 | (or any callable Python object) to be called once the next time there |
476 | are no pending events. This is useful for when you need to do | |
a66212dc RD |
477 | something but it can't be done during the current event handler. The |
478 | implementation is very simple, see wxPython/wx.py. | |
479 | ||
480 | Fixed a boatload of reference leaks. | |
481 | ||
f9b24f07 RD |
482 | Added a demo of using a sizer in a wxScrolledWindow, in effect |
483 | creating a ScrolledPanel. | |
484 | ||
3eb221f6 RD |
485 | Added a sample to the demo that shows how to use radio menu items, and |
486 | other menu stuff. | |
c731eb47 | 487 | |
3eb221f6 RD |
488 | Added wxIEHtmlWin. This is essentially the same as using IE with the |
489 | ActiveXWrapper already in the library, but it is implemented all in | |
bd4b9c8c | 490 | C++ and therefore does not need any of the modules from win32all and |
3eb221f6 | 491 | so it is less fragile in the face of changes. |
b5a5d647 | 492 | |
763d71e4 RD |
493 | Fixed the ActiveXWrapper problem. Looks like when the win32com |
494 | modules make a "callback" that they (incorrectly, IMHO) allocate a | |
495 | transient thread state structure. Since wxPython is now saving | |
496 | tstates for it's own callbacks it ended up using garbage after | |
af83019e | 497 | win32com got rid of the temporary tstate... |
763d71e4 | 498 | |
5fea3204 RD |
499 | Added a generic static text control to wxPython.lib.stattext. This is |
500 | so things like Boa and PythonCard can have a static text that can | |
501 | respond to mouse events and etc. | |
502 | ||
d6a3401d RD |
503 | Changed the wxDateTime.Parse* methods to return an int that will be -1 |
504 | on failure, and the index where parsing stopped otherwise. | |
505 | ||
f6f98ecc | 506 | Moved tools to be a Python package in wxPython.tools, added scripts to |
bd4b9c8c | 507 | import and launch each tool. This will let you import and use the |
a6151d99 RD |
508 | tools in your own scripts or apps as needed. On Linux and OS X the |
509 | tool scripts are installed to {prefix}/bin so you should be able to | |
510 | easily launch them from the command line. For example, PyCrust can be | |
511 | started with just the "pycrust" command. | |
bd4b9c8c | 512 | |
3b867149 RD |
513 | Added a sample to the demo that catches various key events and |
514 | displays the details of the event. | |
515 | ||
af83019e RD |
516 | Added wxWizard, wxWizardPage, wxWizardPageSimple and wxPyWizardPage. |
517 | ||
628c7f79 RD |
518 | Added wxXmlResourceHandler which allows you to create custom handlers |
519 | for nonstandard class types in XRC resources. See the demo for an | |
520 | example. | |
521 | ||
1e4a197e RD |
522 | Added wxPython.lib.mixins.rubberband module from Robb Shecter. |
523 | ||
524 | Added wxTimeCtrl from Will Sadkin. | |
763d71e4 | 525 | |
3bd1e033 | 526 | |
b8510c2f | 527 | |
1fded56b | 528 | |
4268f798 | 529 | 2.3.2.1 |
71f1334b | 530 | ------- |
4268f798 RD |
531 | Changed (again) how the Python global interpreter lock is handled as |
532 | well as the Python thread state. This time it works on SMP machines | |
533 | without barfing and is also still compatible with Python debuggers. | |
534 | ||
535 | Added some patches from library contributors. | |
536 | ||
537 | ||
538 | ||
ebf4302c | 539 | 2.3.2 |
4f3449b4 RD |
540 | ----- |
541 | Added EVT_HELP, EVT_HELP_RANGE, EVT_DETAILED_HELP, | |
542 | EVT_DETAILED_HELP_RANGE, EVT_CONTEXT_MENU, wxHelpEvent, | |
543 | wxContextMenuEvent, wxContextHelp, wxContextHelpButton, wxTipWindow, | |
544 | and a demo to show them in action. | |
545 | ||
fea018f8 RD |
546 | Deprecated PyShell and PyShellWindow, added a snapshot of PyCrust (see |
547 | http://sourceforge.net/projects/pycrust/. ) | |
4f3449b4 | 548 | |
c7e7022c | 549 | Added the new virtual list capabilities to wxListCtrl. |
4f3449b4 | 550 | |
00b6c4e3 | 551 | Added a wxSTC style editor from Riaan Booysen to the sample apps. |
4f3449b4 | 552 | |
09f3d4e6 RD |
553 | Added XRCed to the wxPython Tools directory, contributed by Roman |
554 | Rolinsky. | |
555 | ||
556 | Added a new "constructor" to most of the window classes that calls the | |
1e4a197e RD |
557 | default C++ constructor, (the one with no parameters) and also added the |
558 | corresponding Create(...) method. This allows you to do a 2-step | |
09f3d4e6 RD |
559 | creation of windows which is sometimes required for doing things such |
560 | as setting extended style flags before the window is created, or for | |
561 | passing the object to the XRC resource system to be created from the | |
562 | resource. The name of the new "constructor" is the original name of | |
563 | the class with a "Pre" in it. For example, wxPreWindow, wxPreFrame, | |
564 | etc. | |
565 | ||
fe0aca37 | 566 | Updated to version 1.40 of Scintilla and updated wxStyledTextCtrl |
a6978454 RD |
567 | accordingly. While doing this update I dropped the wxLB_SORT style |
568 | from the wxListBox created for the AutoComplete functionality. This | |
569 | means that you will have to sort the keyword lists yourself, but you | |
570 | are free to do case sensitive or case insensitive sorts and set the | |
571 | wxSTC flag accordingly. | |
4f3449b4 | 572 | |
6d19860f RD |
573 | Updated wxColumnSorterMixin to also be able to place sort icons on the |
574 | column headers, and updated the wxListCtrl demo to show it off by | |
575 | using wxColumnSorterMixin. | |
576 | ||
53fe40ba | 577 | Added wxGenBitmapTextButton, TablePrint, etc. contribs from Lorne White. |
ddcb3d83 | 578 | |
6d8b4f8d | 579 | Added wxNativeFontInfo and wxFontMapper. |
4f3449b4 | 580 | |
431f4c16 | 581 | Added pySketch to the samples. |
4f3449b4 | 582 | |
19a97bd6 RD |
583 | Significantly changed how the Python interpreter lock and thread state |
584 | are managed, which should fix the problem of running on a | |
585 | multi-processor machine. | |
586 | ||
76bfdc78 RD |
587 | Added wxPyLog so log targets can be created in Python to handle log |
588 | messages however is wished. See demo/Main.py for an example. | |
589 | ||
0122b7e3 RD |
590 | Added wxFindReplaceDialog. |
591 | ||
71f1334b RD |
592 | The second phase of OOR is implemented for wxEvtHandler, wxSizer, |
593 | wxShape and derived classes. This means that functions and methods | |
594 | that return an object derived from wxEvtHandler that was originally | |
595 | created in Python, will return the original Python object (if it still | |
596 | exists) instead of letting SWIG wrap a new shadow object around the | |
597 | original C++ pointer. | |
76bfdc78 | 598 | |
9d37f964 RD |
599 | Added some optimization methods to wxDC: GetBoundingBox, DrawLineList, |
600 | DrawPointList. | |
601 | ||
79f1bf32 RD |
602 | Added a set of sophisticated Error Dialogs from Chris Fama. |
603 | ||
729f4276 RD |
604 | Added wxRightTextCtrl from Josu Oyanguren to wxPython.lib for aligning |
605 | text in a wxTextCtrl to the right side. | |
76bfdc78 | 606 | |
71f1334b | 607 | Added wxURLDataObject and an example showing drag and drop of URLs to |
b37c7e1d RD |
608 | and from web browsers. It's still not 100% bullet-proof for all types |
609 | of browsers, but it works for the majority of cases with the popular | |
610 | browsers on Windows. On wxGTK it seems that only Netscape 4.x works, | |
611 | if anybody has any suggestions about this please bring it up on the | |
612 | wx-dev list. | |
613 | ||
614 | Added wxStopWatch. | |
615 | ||
616 | Added wxMimeTypesManager and wxFileType. | |
617 | ||
c0c84fa0 RD |
618 | Passing None for the handler parameter to one of the EVT_** functions |
619 | will now Disconnect the event. | |
620 | ||
621 | Added wxPopupWindow and wxPopupTransientWindow. | |
622 | ||
7dbce44a RD |
623 | Added wxFileHistory. |
624 | ||
71f1334b | 625 | Added wxDynamicSashWindow, which allows you to endlessly split windows |
ebf4302c | 626 | by dragging a little tab next to the scrollbars. Added a demo to show |
71f1334b | 627 | this and also the ability of multiple wxStyledTextCtrls to share the |
ebf4302c RD |
628 | same document. |
629 | ||
611dc22c RD |
630 | Added wxEditableListBox gizmo. |
631 | ||
78e8819c RD |
632 | Updated wxEditor with lots of enhancements from Steve Howell and Adam |
633 | Feuer. | |
634 | ||
635 | Added the "SplitTree gizmos" which are a collection of classes that | |
636 | were designed to operate together and provide a tree control with | |
637 | additional columns for each item. The classes are | |
638 | wxRemotelyScrolledTreeCtrl, wxTreeCompanionWindow, | |
639 | wxThinSplitterWindow, and wxSplitterScrolledWindow, some of which may | |
640 | also be useful by themselves. | |
1918b6f7 | 641 | |
4a61305d RD |
642 | Added wxDllWidget from Vaclav Slavik which allows wx widgets derived |
643 | from wxWindow to be loaded from a C++ .dll (or .so) and be used in a | |
644 | wxPython program, without the widget having to be SWIGged first. The | |
645 | visible API of the widget is limited to wxWindow methods plus a | |
646 | SendCommand method, but it is still quite powerful. See | |
647 | wxPython/contrib/dllwidget and wxPython/demo/dllwidget for more | |
648 | details. | |
649 | ||
b37c7e1d | 650 | |
fea018f8 RD |
651 | |
652 | ||
286e2db6 | 653 | 2.3.1 |
bf7945ce RD |
654 | ----- |
655 | Added EVT_GRID_EDITOR_CREATED and wxGridEditorCreatedEvent so the user | |
656 | code can get access to the edit control when it is created, (to push | |
657 | on a custom event handler for example.) | |
658 | ||
d56cebe7 RD |
659 | Added wxTextAttr class and SetStyle, SetDefaultStyle and |
660 | GetDefaultStyle methods to wxTextCtrl. | |
661 | ||
662 | Added ability to use xml resource files. Still need to add ability to | |
663 | subclass wxXmlResourceHandler, etc... | |
664 | ||
665 | Added wxGridAutoEditMixin to the mixins library package. | |
666 | ||
667 | Made ColourSelect be derived from wxButton. | |
668 | ||
286e2db6 RD |
669 | Fixed img2py to work correctly with Python 2.1. |
670 | ||
671 | Added enhanced wxVTKRenderWindow by Prabhu Ramachandran | |
672 | ||
bf7945ce | 673 | |
9416aa89 RD |
674 | |
675 | 2.3.0 | |
19cf4f80 RD |
676 | ----- |
677 | Removed initial startup dependency on the OpenGL DLLs so only the | |
9416aa89 | 678 | glcanvasc.pyd depends on them, (on wxMSW.) |
19cf4f80 RD |
679 | |
680 | Changed wxFont, wxPen, wxBrush to not implicitly use the | |
9416aa89 RD |
681 | wxThe[Font|Pen|Brush]List objects behind the scenes, but to use normal |
682 | ctor and dtors. | |
19cf4f80 RD |
683 | |
684 | Exposed the wxThe[Font|Pen|Brush]List to wxPython. | |
685 | ||
1af9e5c5 | 686 | Also added wxTheColourDatabase and added a library module (in the |
19cf4f80 RD |
687 | wxPython.lib.colourdb module) to load LOTS more colour names into the |
688 | colour database. | |
689 | ||
6e18ca6c RD |
690 | Added wxWakeUpMainThread, wxMutexGuiEnter, wxMutexGuiLeave, |
691 | wxMutexGuiLocker and wxThread_IsMain to assist with dealing with GUI | |
692 | access from non-GUI threads. | |
693 | ||
1af9e5c5 RD |
694 | wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow is now (more) thread safe if non-GUI threads |
695 | use print, sys.stdout.write, etc. | |
6e18ca6c | 696 | |
6bb38ab6 RD |
697 | Added CreateTextSizer and CreateButtonSizer to wxDialog |
698 | ||
6bb38ab6 RD |
699 | Added wxPython/lib/infoframe.py from Chris Fama. It contains a class |
700 | that can be used in place of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow. | |
701 | ||
49875c53 RD |
702 | Added colourselect.py, imagebrowser.py and an updated calendar.py to |
703 | wxPython/lib from Lorne White. | |
704 | ||
e0672e2f RD |
705 | Added patch to wxPoint_LIST_helper from Tim Hochberg that should make |
706 | it gobs faster in certain situations. | |
6bb38ab6 | 707 | |
1af9e5c5 RD |
708 | Added tools that will take an image file in a wx supported format and |
709 | convert it to data embedded in a Python source file. The image is | |
9416aa89 RD |
710 | converted to XPM format which is essentially a list of strings |
711 | containing info about each pixel. The image's transparency mask is | |
712 | included, if there is one, or a mask can be added if a mask colour is | |
713 | specified on the command line. It is then pickled and optionally | |
714 | compressed and written to a Python source file along with functions to | |
715 | convert it to either a wxBitmap or a wxImage. See | |
716 | wxPython/demo/images.py for examples, and wxPython/Tools/img2py.py for | |
717 | the implementation. | |
1af9e5c5 RD |
718 | |
719 | Fixed wxStyledTextCtrl to be much faster on wxGTK. There was some | |
720 | experimental code that got left in place that ended up causing way too | |
721 | many refreshes. | |
722 | ||
d1679124 RD |
723 | A couple more hacks in my_distutils.py so wxPython can be built with |
724 | the distutils that comes with Python 2.1. | |
1af9e5c5 | 725 | |
d7ec6564 | 726 | Added a ton of missing methods for wxPrintData. |
1af9e5c5 | 727 | |
d7ec6564 | 728 | Switched to InnoSetup for MSW distributions. |
19cf4f80 | 729 | |
3b36695d RD |
730 | Added wxToggleButton. |
731 | ||
732 | Fixed bug that prevented wxTreeCtrl.OnCompareItems from being called. | |
d1679124 | 733 | |
9416aa89 RD |
734 | Added some methods to wxGrid: |
735 | GetCellHighlightPenWidth | |
736 | GetCellHighlightROPenWidth | |
737 | SetCellHighlightPenWidth | |
738 | SetCellHighlightROPenWidth | |
739 | GetGridWindow | |
740 | GetGridRowLabelWindow | |
741 | GetGridColLabelWindow | |
742 | GetGridCornerLabelWindow | |
743 | ||
744 | Added wxGetClientDisplayRect which on wxMSW returns a wxRect | |
745 | representing the area on screen not occupied by the taskbar and such. | |
746 | On other platforms it is equivallent to wxGetDisplaySize. | |
747 | ||
748 | ||
749 | ***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***--- | |
750 | Implemented the first phase of OOR (Original Object Return). See | |
751 | the text in the demo for more details of what this means, but in a | |
752 | nutshell methods such as wxWindow.GetParent or FindWindowById will | |
753 | now return a shadow object of the proper type if it can. By | |
754 | "proper type" I mean that if the wxWindow pointer returned from | |
755 | FindWindowById really points to a wxButton then the Python object | |
756 | constructed will be of a wxButtonPtr class instead of wxWindowPtr | |
757 | as before. This should reduce or eliminiate the need for | |
758 | wxPyTypeCast. (Woo Hoo!) The objects returned are still not the | |
759 | original Python object, but that is the next step. (Although it | |
760 | will probably only work on Python 2.1 and beyond because it will | |
761 | use weak references.) | |
762 | ||
763 | This first phase of the OOR plan is fairly significant and has | |
764 | required a lot of changes all over wxPython, most of which should | |
765 | be transparent to you, however I'm not 100% sure that it didn't | |
766 | introduce any new bugs that are hiding somewhere and didn't get | |
767 | stomped on during my testing. So please be sure to test everything | |
768 | thoroughly when you install this version and be sure to report any | |
769 | object-type related oddities to me. | |
770 | ***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***--- | |
771 | ||
772 | There is now a wxObject class that most other classes derive from like | |
773 | in C++, but the methods provided don't really match but are wxPython | |
bf7945ce RD |
774 | specific. It could have been added long ago but OOR required it so it |
775 | finally got done. | |
9416aa89 RD |
776 | |
777 | Finally added wxPyLineShape.GetLineControlPoints, which has been on my | |
778 | list for a while. The above OOR modification made this easier. | |
d1679124 | 779 | |
10e07c70 | 780 | Fixed the __cmp__ methods for wxPoint and others. |
419c299a | 781 | |
493f1553 RD |
782 | Added wxWave. |
783 | ||
30aaddfe RD |
784 | Added the wxPython.lib.mixins package to the library, it is where |
785 | useful mix-in classes can be placed. Currently there is one to help | |
bf7945ce RD |
786 | make the columns in a wxListCtrl sortable, and the MagicIMageList from |
787 | Mike Fletcher. If you have any custom code that can be factored out | |
788 | of existing classes into a mix-in that would be useful to others | |
30aaddfe RD |
789 | please send it to me for inclusion in this package. |
790 | ||
25832b3f RD |
791 | Added a few little sample applications to help newbies to get started |
792 | by having smaller functional apps to play with. They can be found in | |
793 | wxPython/samples. | |
794 | ||
493f1553 | 795 | |
19cf4f80 RD |
796 | |
797 | ||
b075a3bb RD |
798 | 2.2.6 |
799 | ----- | |
800 | ||
801 | No changes happened in the Python wrappers for this release, only | |
802 | changes and fixes in the wxWindows library. | |
803 | ||
1b62f00d | 804 | |
19cf4f80 | 805 | |
1b62f00d | 806 | 2.2.5 |
185d7c3e RD |
807 | ----- |
808 | ||
809 | New typemaps for wxString when compiling for Python 2.0 and beyond | |
810 | that allow Unicode objects to be passed as well as String objects. If | |
811 | a Unicode object is passed PyString_AsStringAndSize is used to convert | |
812 | it to a wxString using the default encoding. | |
813 | ||
814 | Fixed the generic buttons so tool tips work for them. | |
815 | ||
816 | Fixed a bug in the demo's tree control. | |
817 | ||
818 | Added a listbox to the listbox demo that shows how to find items with | |
1e7ecb7b | 819 | a matching prefix as keys are typed. |
185d7c3e RD |
820 | |
821 | Added code to the wxListCtrl demo to show how to get text from a | |
822 | column in report mode. | |
823 | ||
824 | Added code to the toolbar demo to clear the long help from the status | |
825 | bar after 2 seconds. | |
826 | ||
827 | Added wxJoystick. | |
828 | ||
829 | Fixed wxTimer so it can be used as described in the docs, either with | |
830 | a Notify method in a subclass, or sending an event to a wxEvtHandler | |
831 | object, (usually a window.) | |
832 | ||
833 | Added wxNotifyEvent.Allow() | |
834 | ||
de20db99 RD |
835 | Fixed GOBS of reference leaks. |
836 | ||
1e7ecb7b RD |
837 | Massive code changes and cleanup to allow wxPython to be split into |
838 | multiple extension modules again. A Python CObject is used to allow | |
1b62f00d RD |
839 | the "export" of SWIG functions and other common helper functions from |
840 | the wxc module to other modules, even if they are in separate shared | |
1e7ecb7b RD |
841 | libraries. Should also be usable from 3rd party code, just include |
842 | wxPython/src/export.h | |
843 | ||
844 | Changed the default setup so the following are built as separate | |
845 | extension modules: calendar, glcanvas, grid, html, ogl, stc, and | |
846 | utils. Will probably add more later. | |
847 | ||
1b62f00d RD |
848 | Changed the wxPrinterDC to use the new constructor taking a |
849 | wxPrintData object. The old ctor is still there using the | |
850 | wxPrinterDC2 name. | |
851 | ||
852 | Added wxPython.lib.anchors.py from Riaan Booysen. It contains a class | |
853 | that implements Delphi's Anchors with wxLayoutConstraints. | |
854 | ||
855 | Added wxPython.lib.fancytext from Timothy Hochberg. | |
856 | ||
857 | Changed the GenericButtons to send their event in idle time, so the | |
858 | mouse won't be captured when the event handler is called. | |
859 | ||
860 | Added wxPython.lib.rpcMixin from Greg Landrum, although it's not | |
861 | integrated with the demo yet. It allows a wxPython GUI to be an | |
862 | XML-RPC server. | |
863 | ||
185d7c3e RD |

c368d904 RD |
866 | New in 2.2.2 |
867 | ------------ | |
868 | ||
869 | Significantly changed how the wxStyledtextCtrl code that wraps | |
870 | Scintilla is implemented. Most of it is now automatically generated | |
871 | from an interface definition file provided by Scintilla. This means | |
872 | that it will be much easier to stay in sync with new Scintilla | |
873 | releases, but also means that some of the method and identifier names | |
874 | have changed. See wxPython/demo/data/stc.h for a copy of the C++ | |
875 | interface from which the Python interface is generated. There is now | |
876 | some inline documentation in that file that should really help explain | |
877 | how things work. | |
878 | ||
879 | I am now using the Python Distutils to build wxPython and to make some | |
880 | of the distribution files. (See http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/) | |
881 | This means no more messing with my kludgy build.py/Makefile hack, | |
882 | builds will be more consistent with other Python extensions that also | |
883 | use Distutils, and will hopefully make wxPython easier to build for | |
884 | platforms where there have been troubles before. If you are building | |
885 | wxPython for Python 1.5.2 or for 1.6, then you will need to get and | |
886 | install version 1.0 of Distutils from the website above. If you are | |
887 | using Python 2.0 then you already have it. | |
888 | ||
889 | Added wxInputStream and the wxFileSystem family of classes, | |
890 | contributed by Joerg Baumann. | |
891 | ||
892 | Added wxProcess and support for it to wxExecute. wxProcess lets you | |
893 | get notified when an asyncronous child process terminates, and also to | |
894 | get input/output streams for the child process's stdout, stderr and | |
895 | stdin. | |
896 | ||
897 | Removed the old python sizers. | |
898 | ||
899 | Added __add__, __sub__ and __cmp__ (equality check only) for wxPoint | |
900 | and wxRealPoint. | |
901 | ||
902 | Changed the build to make one big extension module instead of one for | |
903 | the core and each contrib. This allowed me to do away with the | |
904 | libwxPyHelpers.so on unix systems. | |
905 | ||
906 | Lots of little fixes here and there. | |
907 | ||
908 | Some hacks on wxGTK to try and make the AutoComplete listbox in the | |
909 | wxStyledTextCtrl to behave better. It's still not as nice as on | |
910 | wxMSW, but at least it's a bit more usable now. | |
911 | ||
912 | ||
913 | ||
914 | ||
3ca6a5f0 BP |
915 | New in 2.2.1 |
916 | ------------ | |
917 | ||
918 | Various tweaks, fixes, missing methods, etc. | |
919 | ||
c368d904 RD |
920 | Added example use of wxTaskBarIcon to the demo. |
921 | ||
3ca6a5f0 BP |
922 | |
923 | ||
f6bcfd97 BP |
924 | New in 2.2.0 |
925 | ------------ | |
926 | ||
927 | Added wxLog and friends. | |
928 | ||
929 | Added wxFrame.ShowFullScreen for MSW. | |
930 | ||
931 | Added PyShellWindow to the wxPython.lib package. | |
932 | ||
933 | ||
934 | ||
935 | New in 2.1.16 | |
936 | ------------- | |
937 | ||
938 | Added an attribute named labelDelta to the generic buttons that | |
939 | specifies how far to offset the label when the button is in the | |
940 | depressed state. | |
941 | ||
942 | Added wxTipProvider and friends. See the demo for an example. | |
943 | ||
944 | wxGrid can now change the cell highlight colour. | |
945 | ||
946 | Added wxDragImage. | |
947 | ||
948 | Fixed printing on wxGTK. | |
949 | ||
950 | Added wxDateTime, wxTimeSpan, and wxDateSpan to wxPython.utils. | |
951 | ||
952 | Added wxCalendarCtrl. | |
953 | ||
954 | WARNING: A while back I asked what should be done about the Magic | |
955 | Method Names. (Methods that are automatically turned into event | |
956 | handlers by virtue of their name.) The consensus was that it is more | |
957 | confusing to have them than to try and expand them to have greater | |
958 | coverage. I am finally getting around to removing the code that | |
959 | generates the event binding. This means that if you are using any of | |
960 | the following method names without a EVT_* call that you need to | |
961 | modify your code to add the EVT_* to hook the event to the method. | |
962 | ||
963 | OnChar | |
964 | OnSize | |
965 | OnEraseBackground | |
966 | OnSysColourChanged | |
967 | OnInitDialog | |
968 | OnPaint | |
969 | OnIdle | |
970 | OnActivate | |
971 | OnMenuHighlight | |
972 | OnCloseWindow | |
973 | OnScroll | |
974 | ||
975 | Added wxSpinCtrl. | |
976 | ||
977 | ||
978 | ||
979 | ||
980 | New in 2.1.15 | |
164b735b RD |
981 | ------------- |
982 | ||
983 | Fixed wxTreeCtrl.HitTest to return both the tree item as well as the | |
984 | flags that clairify where the click was in relation to the item. | |
985 | ||
854862f5 RD |
986 | Fixed thread state problem in wxTreeCtrl.GetBoundingBox and |
987 | GetSelections. | |
164b735b | 988 | |
99ab9f3b RD |
989 | Fixed some problems in OGL. Also wxShape.SetClientData and |
990 | .GetClientData can now deal with Python objects. | |
714d23b4 | 991 | |
dcd38683 | 992 | Added wxListCtrl.SortItems and changed the demo to show how to use it. |
714d23b4 | 993 | |
f6bcfd97 BP |
994 | Plugged a memory leak. |
995 | ||
996 | Wrapped the new wxGrid and friends. The old wxGrid class is no longer | |
997 | available. There are some incompatibilities, and unfortunately the | |
998 | new classes are not documented yet, (however the methods are more | |
999 | consistent with each other now so you may be able to guess pretty | |
1000 | good...) | |
1001 | ||
1002 | Updated filebrowsebutton.py and calendar.py with changes from their | |
1003 | authors. There is now a FileBrowseButtonWithHistory class (what a | |
1004 | mouthful!) and wxCalendar has printing support. | |
1005 | ||
1006 | Added ActiveXWrapper to the library, and some good demos of it too. | |
1007 | It works great for embedding a COM (a.k.a OCX, a.k.a ActiveX) control | |
1008 | in a window and calling its methods. It actually creates a new class | |
1009 | on the fly that derives from wxWindow, the COM CoClass and others | |
1010 | needed to make it all work. The resulting class can be instantiated | |
1011 | just like wxWindow, used in sizers, etc. It also responds to all COM | |
1012 | method calls, properties, etc., and if the class or a mix-in has | |
1013 | matching method names, then the COM events will be propogated back to | |
1014 | them. | |
1015 | ||
1016 | Created a typemap that allows a string to be used for parameters | |
1017 | expecting a wxColour type. The string is either a colour name as | |
1018 | defined in the wxColourDatabase, or a colour spec of the form | |
1019 | "#RRGGBB". See the wxStyledTextCtrl demo for an example. | |
1020 | ||
1021 | I almost forgot to mention the wxStyledTextCtrl! Yes, the | |
1022 | wxStyledTextCtrl is finally in wxPython!! (And the crowd goes | |
1023 | wild...) There's no documentaTion yet (the crowd boos and hisses...) | |
1024 | but I've included a very readable source file in the | |
1025 | wxPython/demo/data directory, a couple fairly good examples, and you | |
1026 | can also refer to the Scintilla documentaion at | |
1027 | http://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaDoc.html to help fill in the gaps | |
1028 | until the docs are done. (The croud murmers contentedly as the tool | |
1029 | provider smiles convincingly and removes his flame-proof suit.) | |
1030 | ||
164b735b RD |
1031 | |
1032 | ||
1033 | ||
9e57c2a0 | 1034 | What's new in 2.1.13 |
6d75ea8f | 1035 | -------------------- |
9e57c2a0 RD |
1036 | Skipped a version number to match what has been released for wxGTK. |
1037 | ||
6d75ea8f RD |
1038 | Updated wxMVCTree and added a demo for it, also fixed layout on GTK |
1039 | and some flicker problems. | |
1040 | ||
1041 | Added a wrapper class for the Visualization ToolKit (or VTK) in the | |
1042 | wxPython.lib.vtk module. (http://www.kitware.com/) | |
1043 | ||
1044 | Fixed wxTreeCtrl.SetItemImage and GetItemImage to recognise the new | |
1045 | "which" parameter. | |
1046 | ||
1047 | Added wxPython.lib.spashscreen from Mike Fletcher. | |
1048 | ||
1049 | Added wxPython.lib.filebrowsebutton also from Mike Fletcher. | |
1050 | ||
1051 | Renamed wxTreeCtrl.GetParent to GetItemParent to avoid a name clash | |
1052 | with wxWindow.GetParent. | |
1053 | ||
1054 | Added wxIntersectRect to compute the intersection of two wxRect's. | |
1055 | It is used like this: | |
1056 | ||
1057 | intersect = wxIntersectRect(rect1, rect2) | |
1058 | ||
1059 | If r1 and r2 don't intersect then None is returned, otherwise the | |
1060 | rectangle representing the intersection is returned. | |
1061 | ||
1062 | Some bug fixes for Clipboard and Drag-n-Drop. | |
1063 | ||
9b3d3bc4 | 1064 | Rotated text!!! WooHoo! (See wxDC.DrawRotatedText()) |
6999b0d8 RD |
1065 | |
1066 | Added a set of Generic Buttons to the library. These are simple | |
1067 | window classes that look and act like native buttons, but you can have | |
1068 | a bit more control over them. The bezel width can be set in addition | |
1069 | to colours, fonts, etc. There is a ToggleButton as well as Bitmap | |
9e57c2a0 RD |
1070 | versions too. They should also serve as a good example of how to |
1071 | create your own classes derived from wxControl. | |
6d75ea8f | 1072 | |
9b3d3bc4 RD |
1073 | The C++ wxToolBar classes have been redone, and so have the wxPython |
1074 | wrappers. There have been slight modifications to some of the methods | |
1075 | but shouldn't impact anybody too much. I took the opportunity to add | |
1076 | support for setting user data on each toolbar tool. The new AddTool | |
1077 | methods look like this: | |
1078 | ||
1079 | def AddTool(ID, | |
1080 | bitmap, | |
1081 | pushedBitmap = wxNullBitmap, | |
1082 | toggle = FALSE, | |
1083 | clientData = NULL, | |
1084 | shortHelpString = "", | |
1085 | longHelpString = "") | |
1086 | ||
1087 | def AddSimpleTool(ID, | |
1088 | bitmap, | |
1089 | shortHelpString = "", | |
1090 | longHelpString = "", | |
1091 | toggle=FALSE) | |
1092 | ||
1093 | ||
1e4a197e | 1094 | There are also corresponding InsertTool and InsertSimpleTool methods |
9b3d3bc4 RD |
1095 | that additionally take an integer position as the first parameter. |
1096 | ||
9e57c2a0 | 1097 | Added a wrapper for the new PCX and TIFF ImageHandlers. |
9b3d3bc4 RD |
1098 | |
1099 | wxRect now simulates attributes named left, right, top and bottom. | |
1100 | ||
d2103cf2 RD |
1101 | Removed all non wx stuff from the glcanvas module since DA's PyOpenGL |
1102 | is better and compatible with the wxGLCanvas. You can get it at | |
1103 | http://starship.python.net:9673/crew/da/Code/PyOpenGL. | |
9b3d3bc4 | 1104 | |
3af4e610 | 1105 | Added some missing EVT_ functions. |
9b3d3bc4 | 1106 | |
1b55cabf RD |
1107 | Added Dirk Holtwic's editor classes to the wxPython.lib.editor |
1108 | package. | |
1109 | ||
eec92d76 RD |
1110 | Changed all the "LIST" parameter names to "choices" to match the docs. |
1111 | ||
fe366bc9 RD |
1112 | More fixes for the wxFloatBar, and it now works on wxGTK even better |
1113 | than wxMSW! (The feat is accomplished by using the wxTB_DOCKABLE | |
1114 | style flag instead of trying to float it ourselves.) | |
1115 | ||
9b3d3bc4 | 1116 | |
6d75ea8f RD |
1117 | |
1118 | ||
1119 | What's new in 2.1.11 | |
1120 | -------------------- | |
1121 | Skipped a few version numbers so wxMSW, wxGTK and wxPython are all | |
1122 | syncronized. | |
1123 | ||
1124 | wxImage.SetData now makes a copy of the image data before giving it to | |
1125 | wxImage. I mistakenly thought that wxImage would copy the data | |
1126 | itself. | |
1127 | ||
1128 | Fixed wxMSW's notebook so the pages get their size set as they are | |
1129 | being added. This should remove the need for our | |
1130 | wxNotebook.ResizeChildren hack. | |
1131 | ||
1132 | wxPanels now support AutoLayout, and wxNotebooks and wxSplitterWindows | |
1133 | no longer tell their children to Layout() themselves. This will | |
1134 | probably only effect you if you have a wxWindow with AutoLayout inside | |
1135 | a notebook or splitter. If so, either change it to a wxPanel or add | |
1136 | an EVT_SIZE handler that calls Layout(). | |
1137 | ||
1138 | Fixed deadlock problem that happened when using threads. | |
1139 | ||
1140 | Added new HTML printing classes. | |
1141 | ||
1142 | Added wxWindow.GetHandle | |
1143 | ||
1144 | Apparently wxMouseEvent.Position has been depreciated in wxWindows as | |
1145 | it is no longer available by default. You can use GetPositionTuple | |
1146 | (returning a tuple with x,y) instead, or GetPosition (returning a | |
1147 | wxPoint.) | |
1148 | ||
1149 | Added wxPostEvent function that allows events to be posted and then | |
1150 | processed later. This is a thread-safe way to interact with the GUI | |
1151 | thread from other threads. | |
1152 | ||
1153 | Added Clipboard and Drag-and-Drop classes. | |
1154 | ||
1155 | Added wxFontEnumerator. | |
1156 | ||
1157 | Many updates to wxMenu, wxMenuBar. | |
1158 | ||
1159 | wxPyEvent and wxPyCommandEvent derived classes now give you the actual | |
1160 | Python object in the event handler instead of a new shadow. | |
1161 | ||
1162 | Added a Calendar widget from Lorne White to the library. | |
1163 | ||
1164 | Made some fixes to the wxFloatbar. It still has some troubles on | |
1165 | wxGTK... | |
1166 | ||
1167 | Added an MVC tree control from Bryn Keller to the library. | |
1168 | ||
1169 | ||
1170 | ||
1171 | ||
1172 | What's new in 2.1.5 | |
1173 | ------------------- | |
1174 | This is a quick bug-fix release to take care of a few nasties that | |
1175 | crept in at the last minute before 2.1.4 was called done. No new | |
1176 | major features. | |
1177 | ||
1178 | ||
1179 | ||
1180 | What's new in 2.1.4 | |
1181 | -------------------- | |
1182 | ||
1183 | This release is NOT syncronized with a snapshot release of wxGTK or | |
1184 | wxMSW. For MSW this isn't much of a problem since you can get the | |
1185 | binaries from the web site. For other platforms you'll have to build | |
1186 | wxGTK from CVS. (See http://web.ukonline.co.uk/julian.smart/wxwin/cvs.htm) | |
1187 | To get the same set of sources from CVS that I used, checkout using | |
1188 | the wxPy-2-1-4 tag. | |
1189 | ||
1190 | Now back to what's new... | |
1191 | ||
1192 | Much more support for event-less callbacks and add-on modules. | |
1193 | ||
1194 | Created add-on module with wxOGL classes. | |
1195 | ||
1196 | Added wxWindow.GetChildren(). Be careful of this. It returns a *copy* | |
1197 | of the list of the window's children. While you are using the list if | |
1198 | anything changes in the real list (a child is deleted, etc.) then the | |
1199 | list you are holding will suddenly have window references to garbage | |
1200 | memory and your app will likely crash. But if you are careful it works | |
1201 | great! | |
1202 | ||
1203 | Added a bunch of new and missing methods to wxTreeCrtl. The | |
1204 | SortChildren method is now supported, but currently only for the | |
1205 | default sort order. | |
1206 | ||
1207 | Added typemaps for wxSize, wxPoint, wxRealPoint, and wxRect that allow | |
1208 | either the actual objects or Python sequence values to be used. For | |
1209 | example, the following are equivallent: | |
1210 | ||
1211 | win = wxWindow(parent, size = wxSize(100, 100)) | |
1212 | win = wxWindow(parent, size = (100, 100)) | |
1213 | ||
1214 | Super-charged the wxHtml module. You can now create your own tag | |
1215 | handlers and also have access to the parser and cell classes. There | |
1216 | is a tag handler in the library at wxPython.lib.wxpTag that | |
1217 | understands the WXP tag and is able to place wxPython windows on HTML | |
1218 | pages. See the demo for an example. | |
1219 | ||
1220 | A bunch of the methods of wxMenuBar were previously ifdef'd out for | |
1221 | wxGTK. Added them back in since the methods exist now. | |
1222 | ||
1223 | Wrapped the wxHtmlHelpController and related classes. | |
1224 | ||
1225 | Wrapped the C++ versions of wxSizer and friends. The Python-only | |
1226 | versions are still in the library, but depreciated. (You will get a | |
1227 | warning message if you try to use them, but the warning can be | |
1228 | disabled.) The usage of the C++ versions is slightly different, and | |
1229 | the functionality of wxBorderSizer is now part of wxBoxSizer. I have | |
1230 | added a few methods to wxSizer to try and make the transition as | |
1231 | smooth as possible, I combined all Add methods into a single method | |
1232 | that handles all cases, added an AddMany method, etc. One step I did | |
1233 | not take was to make the default value of flag in the Add method be | |
1234 | wxGROW. This would have made it more backward compatible, but less | |
1235 | portable to and from wxWin C++ code. Please see the docs and demo for | |
1236 | further details. | |
1237 | ||
1238 | Added wxPyEvent and wxPyCommandEvent classes, derived from wxEvent and | |
1239 | wxCommandEvent. Each of them has SetPyData and GetPyData methods that | |
1240 | accept or return a single Python object. You can use these classes | |
1241 | directly or derive from them to create your own types of event objects | |
1242 | that can pass through the wxWindows event system without loosing their | |
1243 | Python parts (as long as they are stored with SetPyData.) Stay tuned | |
1244 | for more info and examples in future releases. | |
1245 | ||
1246 | Added wxPython.lib.grids as an example of how to derive a new sizer | |
1247 | from the C++ sizers. In this module you will find wxGridSizer and | |
1248 | wxFlexGridSizer. wxGridSizer arrainges its items in a grid in which | |
1249 | all the widths and heights are the same. wxFlexgridSizer allows | |
1250 | different widths and heights, and you can also specify rows and/or | |
1251 | columns that are growable. See the demo for a couple examples for how | |
1252 | to use them. | |
1253 | ||
1254 | Added the wxValidator class, and created a class named wxPyValidator | |
1255 | that should be used for the base class of any Python validators. See | |
1256 | the demo for an example. Please note that you MUST implement a Clone | |
1257 | method in your validator classes because of the way some things work | |
1258 | in the underlying C++ library. I did not add wxTextValidator because | |
1259 | of some issues of how it transfers data to and from a wxString, which | |
1260 | in wxPython is automatically translated to and from Python strings, so | |
1261 | there would never be a concrete wxString that would hang around long | |
1262 | enough for the validator to do its job. On the other hand, it should | |
1263 | be real easy to duplicate the functionality of wxTextValidator in a | |
1264 | pure Python class derived from wxPyValidator. | |
1265 | ||
1266 | I've finally added a feature that has been on my list for close to two | |
1267 | years! Ever wondered what that zero is for when you create your app | |
1268 | object? Well now you can leave it out or explicitly set it to a true | |
1269 | value. This value now controls what is to be done with sys.stdout and | |
1270 | sys.stderr. A false value leaves them alone, and a true value sets | |
1271 | them to an instance of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow. (On windows the | |
1272 | default is true, on unix platforms the default is false.) This class | |
1273 | creates a frame containing a wxTextCtrl as soon as anything is written | |
1274 | to sys.stdout or sys.stderr. If you close the window it will come | |
1275 | back again the next time something is written. (You can call | |
1276 | app.RestoreStdio to turn this off.) If you would rather that the stdio be | |
1277 | redirected to a file, you can provide a second parameter to your app | |
1278 | object's constructor that is a filename. If you want to use your own | |
1279 | class instead of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow you can either implement | |
1280 | RedirectStdio() in you app class or change the value of | |
1281 | wxApp.outputWindowClass like this: | |
1282 | ||
1283 | class MyApp(wxApp): | |
1284 | outputWindowClass = MyClass | |
1285 | ||
1286 | def OnInit(self): | |
1287 | frame = MyFrame() | |
1288 | self.SetTopWindow(frame) | |
1289 | return true | |
1290 | ||
1291 | Please see the implementation of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow and wxApp in | |
1292 | wx.py for more details. A few words of caution: if you are running | |
1293 | your app in a debugger, changing sys.stdout and sys.stderr is likely | |
1294 | to really screw things up. | |
1295 | ||
1296 | Added wxCaret. Unfortunately it's author has still not documented it | |
1297 | in the wxWindows docs... | |
1298 | ||
1299 | Some new 3rd party contributions in wxPython.lib. PyShell, in | |
1300 | shell.py is an interesting implementaion of an interactive Python | |
1301 | shell in wxWindows. floatbar.py has a class derived from wxToolBar | |
1302 | that can sense mouse drags and then reparent itself into another | |
1303 | frame. Moving the new frame close to where it came from puts the tool | |
1304 | bar back into the original parent. (Unfortunately there is currently | |
1305 | a bug in wxGTK's wxFrame.SetToolBar so the FloatBar has some | |
1306 | problems...) | |

1311 | What's new in 2.1b3 | |
1312 | -------------------- | |
1313 | ||
1314 | This release is syncronized with release 2.1 snapshot 9 of wxWindows. | |
1315 | ||
1316 | Switched to using SWIG from CVS (see http://swig.cs.uchicago.edu/cvs.html) | |
1317 | for some of the new features and such. Also they have encorporated my | |
1318 | patches so there is really no reason to stick with the current (very | |
1319 | old) release... This version of SWIG gives the following new | |
1320 | features: | |
1321 | ||
1322 | 1. Keyword arguments. You no longer have to specify all the | |
1323 | parameters with defaults to a method just to specify a | |
1324 | non-default value on the end. You can now do this instead: | |
1325 | ||
1326 | win = wxWindow(parent, -1, style = mystyle) | |
1327 | ||
1328 | 2. There is now an an equivalence between Python's None and C++'s | |
1329 | NULL. This means that any methods that might return NULL will | |
1330 | now return None and you can use none where wxWindows might be | |
1331 | expecting NULL. This makes things much more snake-ish. | |
1332 | ||
1333 | ||
1334 | There is a new build system based on a new Python program instead of | |
1335 | raw makefiles. Now wxPython builds are virtually the same on MSW or | |
1336 | Unix systems. See the end of this file for new build instructions and | |
1337 | see distrib/build.py for more details. | |
1338 | ||
1339 | wxDC.Bilt now includes the useMask parameter, and has been split into | |
1340 | two different versions. wxDC.BlitXY is like what was there before and | |
1341 | takes raw coordinants and sizes, and the new wxDC.Blit is for the new | |
1342 | interface using wxPoints and a wxSize. | |
1343 | ||
1344 | ||
1345 | ||
1346 | ||
1347 | ||
1348 | What's new in 2.1b2 | |
1349 | -------------------- | |
1350 | ||
1351 | Added the missing wxWindow.GetUpdateRegion() method. | |
1352 | ||
1353 | Made a new change in SWIG (update your patches everybody) that | |
1354 | provides a fix for global shadow objects that get an exception in | |
1355 | their __del__ when their extension module has already been deleted. | |
1356 | It was only a 1 line change in .../SWIG/Modules/pycpp.cxx at about | |
1357 | line 496 if you want to do it by hand. | |
1358 | ||
1359 | It is now possible to run through MainLoop more than once in any one | |
1360 | process. The cleanup that used to happen as MainLoop completed (and | |
1361 | prevented it from running again) has been delayed until the wxc module | |
1362 | is being unloaded by Python. | |
1363 | ||
1364 | I fixed a bunch of stuff in the C++ version of wxGrid so it wouldn't | |
1365 | make wxPython look bad. | |
1366 | ||
1367 | wxWindow.PopupMenu() now takes a wxPoint instead of x,y. Added | |
1368 | wxWindow.PopupMenuXY to be consistent with some other methods. | |
1369 | ||
1370 | Added wxGrid.SetEditInPlace and wxGrid.GetEditInPlace. | |
1371 | ||
1372 | You can now provide your own app.MainLoop method. See | |
1373 | wxPython/demo/demoMainLoop.py for an example and some explaination. | |
1374 | ||
1375 | Got the in-place-edit for the wxTreeCtrl fixed and added some demo | |
1376 | code to show how to use it. | |
1377 | ||
1378 | Put the wxIcon constructor back in for GTK as it now has one that | |
1379 | matches MSW's. | |
1380 | ||
1381 | Added wxGrid.GetCells | |
1382 | ||
1383 | Added wxSystemSettings static methods as functions with names like | |
1384 | wxSystemSettings_GetSystemColour. | |
1385 | ||
1386 | Removed wxPyMenu since using menu callbacks have been depreciated in | |
1387 | wxWindows. Use wxMenu and events instead. | |
1388 | ||
1389 | Added alternate wxBitmap constructor (for MSW only) as | |
1390 | wxBitmapFromData(data, type, width, height, depth = 1) | |
1391 | ||
1392 | Added a helper function named wxPyTypeCast that can convert shadow | |
1393 | objects of one type into shadow objects of another type. (Like doing | |
1394 | a down-cast.) See the implementation in wx.py for some docs. | |
1395 | ||
1396 | Fixed wxImage GetData and SetData to properly use String objects for | |
1397 | data transfer. | |
1398 | ||
1399 | Added access methods to wxGridEvent. | |
1400 | ||
1401 | New Makefile/Setup files supporting multiple dynamic extension modules | |
1402 | for unix systems. | |
1403 | ||
1404 | Fixes for the wxGLCanvas demo to work around a strange bug in gtk. | |
1405 | ||
1406 | SWIG support routines now compiled separately instead of being bundled | |
1407 | in wx.cpp. | |
1408 | ||
1409 | ||
1410 | ||
1411 | ||
1412 | ||
1413 | What's new in 2.1b1 | |
1414 | -------------------- | |
1415 | Fixed wxComboBox.SetSelection so that it actually sets the selected | |
1416 | item. (Actually just removed it from wxPython and let it default to | |
1417 | wxChoice.SetSelection which was already doing the right thing.) | |
1418 | ||
1419 | Added the Printing Framework. | |
1420 | ||
1421 | Switched back to using the wxWindows DLL for the pre-built Win32 | |
1422 | version. The problem was needing to reinitialize static class info | |
1423 | data after loading each extension module. | |
1424 | ||
1425 | Lots of little tweaks and additions to reflect changes to various | |
1426 | wxWindows classes. | |
1427 | ||
1428 | Fixed a bug with attaching objects to tree items. Actually was a | |
1429 | symptom of a larger problem with not obtaining the interpreter lock | |
1430 | when doing any Py_DECREFs. | |
1431 | ||
1432 | wxSizer and friends. Sizers are layout tools that manage a colection | |
1433 | of windows and sizers. Different types of sizers apply different | |
1434 | types of layout algorithms. You saw it here first! These classes are | |
1435 | not even in the wxWindows C++ library yet! | |
1436 | ||
1437 | ||
1438 | ||
1439 | What's new in 2.0b9 | |
1440 | ------------------- | |
1441 | Bug fix for ListCtrl in test4.py (Was a missing file... DSM!) | |
1442 | ||
1443 | Bug fix for occassional GPF on Win32 systems upon termination of a | |
1444 | wxPython application. | |
1445 | ||
1446 | Added wxListBox.GetSelections returning selections as a Tuple. | |
1447 | ||
1448 | Added a wxTreeItemData that is able to hold any Python object and be | |
1449 | associated with items in a wxTreeCtrl. Added test pytree.py to show | |
1450 | this feature off. | |
1451 | ||
1452 | Added wxSafeYield function. | |
1453 | ||
1454 | OpenGL Canvas can be optionally compiled in to wxPython. | |
1455 | ||
1456 | Awesome new Demo Framework for showing off wxPython and for learning | |
1457 | how it all works. | |
1458 | ||
1459 | The pre-built Win32 version is no longer distributing the wxWindows | |
1460 | DLL. It is statically linked with the wxWindows library instead. | |
1461 | ||
1462 | Added a couple missing items from the docs. | |
1463 | ||
1464 | Added wxImage, wxImageHandler, wxPNGHandler, wxJPEGHandler, | |
1465 | wxGIFHandler and wxBMPHandler. | |
1466 | ||
1467 | Added new methods to wxTextCtrl. | |
1468 | ||
1469 | Fixed some problems with how SWIG was wrapping some wxTreeCtrl | |
1470 | methods. | |
1471 | ||
1472 | ||
1473 | ||
1474 | What's new in 2.0b8 | |
1475 | ------------------- | |
1476 | Support for using Python threads in wxPython apps. | |
1477 | ||
1478 | Several missing methods from various classes. | |
1479 | ||
1480 | Various bug fixes. | |
1481 | ||
1482 | ||
1483 | ||
1484 | What's new in 2.0b7 | |
1485 | ------------------- | |
1486 | Added DLG_PNT and DLG_SZE convienience methods to wxWindow class. | |
1487 | ||
1488 | Added missing constructor and other methods for wxMenuItem. | |
1489 | ||
1490 | ||
1491 | ||
1492 | What's new in 2.0b6 | |
1493 | ------------------- | |
1494 | Just a quickie update to fix the self-installer to be compatible with | |
1495 | Python 1.5.2b2's Registry settings. | |
1496 | ||
1497 | ||
1498 | What's new in 2.0b5 | |
1499 | ------------------- | |
1500 | Well obviously the numbering scheme has changed. I did this to | |
1501 | reflect the fact that this truly is the second major revision of | |
1502 | wxPython, (well the third actually if you count the one I did for | |
1503 | wxWindows 1.68 and then threw away...) and also that it is associated | |
1504 | with the 2.0 version of wxWindows. | |
1505 | ||
1506 | I have finally started documenting wxPython. There are several pages | |
1507 | in the wxWindows documentation tree specifically about wxPython, and I | |
1508 | have added notes within the class references about where and how wxPython | |
1509 | diverges from wxWindows. | |
1510 | ||
1511 | Added wxWindow_FromHWND(hWnd) for wxMSW to construct a wxWindow from a | |
1512 | window handle. If you can get the window handle into the python code, | |
1513 | it should just work... More news on this later. | |
1514 | ||
1515 | Added wxImageList, wxToolTip. | |
1516 | ||
1517 | Re-enabled wxConfig.DeleteAll() since it is reportedly fixed for the | |
1518 | wxRegConfig class. | |
1519 | ||
1520 | As usual, some bug fixes, tweaks, etc. | |
1521 | ||
1522 | ||
1523 | ||
1524 | What's new in 0.5.3 | |
1525 | ------------------- | |
1526 | Added wxSashWindow, wxSashEvent, wxLayoutAlgorithm, etc. | |
1527 | ||
1528 | Various cleanup, tweaks, minor additions, etc. to maintain | |
1529 | compatibility with the current wxWindows. | |
1530 | ||
1531 | ||
1532 | ||
1533 | What's new in 0.5.0 | |
1534 | ------------------- | |
1535 | Changed the import semantics from "from wxPython import *" to "from | |
1536 | wxPython.wx import *" This is for people who are worried about | |
1537 | namespace pollution, they can use "from wxPython import wx" and then | |
1538 | prefix all the wxPython identifiers with "wx." | |
1539 | ||
1540 | Added wxTaskbarIcon for wxMSW. | |
1541 | ||
1542 | Made the events work for wxGrid. | |
1543 | ||
1544 | Added wxConfig. | |
1545 | ||
1546 | Added wxMiniFrame for wxGTK. | |
1547 | ||
1548 | Changed many of the args and return values that were pointers to gdi | |
1549 | objects to references to reflect changes in the wxWindows API. | |
1550 | ||
1551 | Other assorted fixes and additions. | |
1552 | ||
1553 | ||
1554 | ||
1555 | ||
1556 | What's new in 0.4.2 | |
1557 | ------------------- | |
1558 | ||
1559 | wxPython on wxGTK works!!! Both dynamic and static on Linux and | |
1560 | static on Solaris have been tested. Many thanks go to Harm | |
1561 | <H.v.d.Heijden@phys.tue.nl> for his astute detective work on tracking | |
1562 | down a nasty DECREF bug. Okay so I have to confess that it was just a | |
1563 | DSM (Dumb Stupid Mistake) on my part but it was nasty none the less | |
1564 | because the behavior was so different on different platforms. | |
1565 | ||
1566 | The dynamicly loaded module on Solaris is still segfaulting, so it | |
1567 | must have been a different issue all along... | |
1568 | ||
1569 | ||
1570 | ||
1571 | What's New in 0.4 | |
1572 | ----------------- | |
1573 | ||
1574 | 1. Worked on wxGTK compatibility. It is partially working. On a | |
1575 | Solaris/Sparc box wxPython is working but only when it is statically | |
1576 | linked with the Python interpreter. When built as a dyamically loaded | |
1577 | extension module, things start acting weirdly and it soon seg-faults. | |
1578 | And on Linux both the statically linked and the dynamically linked | |
1579 | version segfault shortly after starting up. | |
1580 | ||
1581 | 2. Added Toolbar, StatusBar and SplitterWindow classes. | |
1582 | ||
1583 | 3. Varioius bug fixes, enhancements, etc. | |
1584 | ||
