| 8eda5e35 RD |
16 | big changes that have happened in this release and how you should |
| 17 | adapt your code.)</p> | |
| fc33e5e1 RD |
18 | <p>The wxWindows project and library is now known as wxWidgets. Please |
| 19 | see <a class="reference" href="http://www.wxwindows.org/name.htm">http://www.wxwindows.org/name.htm</a> for more details. This won't | |
| 20 | really affect wxPython all that much, other than the fact that the | |
| 21 | wxwindows.org domain name will be changing to wxwidgets.org, so mail | |
| 22 | list, CVS, and etc. addresses will be changing. We're going to try | |
| 23 | and smooth the transition as much as possible, but I wanted you all to | |
| 24 | be aware of this change if you run into any issues.</p> | |
| 8eda5e35 | 25 | <p>Many, many little fixes, changes and additions done as part of the move |
| fc33e5e1 | 26 | to wxWidgets 2.5 that I have forgotten about.</p> |
| 8eda5e35 RD |
27 | <p>Added wxMirrorDC.</p> |
| 28 | <p>Added wxIconLocation</p> | |
| fc33e5e1 RD |
29 | <p>Added Python wrappers and demos for the new wxVScrolledWindow, |
| 30 | wxVListBox, and wxHtmlListBox classes.</p> | |
| 8eda5e35 RD |
31 | <p>Added wrappers for wxBookCtrl and wxListbook. wxNotebook now derives |
| 32 | from wxBookCtrl.</p> | |
| 33 | <p>Added Gordon Williams' PyPlot module to the library, available as the | |
| 34 | wx.lib.plot module.</p> | |
| 35 | <p>I made a small but important change in the code that aquires the | |
| 36 | Python Global Interpreter Lock to try and prevent deadlocks that can | |
| 37 | happen when there are nested attempts to aquire the GIL.</p> | |
| fc33e5e1 RD |
38 | <p>The RPMs will now install menu items on Mandrake Linux in |
| 39 | Applications/Development/Tools for PyCrust, XRCed, etc. The RPMs are | |
| 40 | also installing icons and <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">*.desktop</span></tt> items in the generic KDE and | |
| 41 | GNOME locations, but I don't know yet if they are resulting in menu | |
| 42 | items on non-Mandrake systems. (It didn't automatically do it on my | |
| 43 | RH-9 build box but I didn't chase it very far...) If you have ideas | |
| 44 | for how to improve the .spec file to work better and/or on more | |
| 45 | distros please send me a patch.</p> | |
| 46 | <p>The RPMs are now built on a fairly generic RH-9 box, and I have tested | |
| 47 | installing them also on my main Mandrake 9.2 box.</p> | |
| 8eda5e35 RD |
48 | <p>There are some big changes in the OS X disk image. The actual |
| 49 | Installer package now <em>only</em> installs the wxMac dynlibs, wxPython | |
| fc33e5e1 | 50 | extension modules and Python pacakges, and also the command-line tool |
| 8eda5e35 RD |
51 | scripts. The remaining items (demo, samples, and application bundles |
| 52 | for the Demo, PyCrust and XRCed) are now top-level items in the disk | |
| 53 | image (.dmg file) that users can just drag and drop to wherever they | |
| 54 | want to put them.</p> | |
| 55 | <p>The wxWave class has been renamed to wxSound, and now has a slightly | |
| 56 | different API.</p> | |
