<h1 class="title">Recent Changes for wxPython</h1>
<div class="section" id="id1">
<h1><a name="id1">2.5.3.1</a></h1>
<p>wxMac focus and border refreshes corrected.</p>
<p>Updated internal PNG library.</p>
<p>wxMac fix for metal appearance on wx.ToolBar.</p>
<p>wx.grid.Grid fix allowing DoGetBestSize to be called before CreateGrid
(which means that a min size doesn't need to be specified.)</p>
<p>wxMac fix for not sending a native click to a control if it is not
enabled (does an enable itself)</p>
<p>Added wx.lib.ogl.DrawnShape, and fixed various little bugs in the new
OGL.</p>
<p>Added support to XRC and XRCed for the 3-state checkbox flags and also
for wx.ToggleButton.  Updated the generic window styles supported by
XRCed.</p>
<p>It is now possible to create &quot;stock&quot; buttons.  Basically this means
that you only have to provide one of the stock IDs (and either an
empty label or a label that matches the stock label) when creating the
button and wxWidgets will choose the stock label to go with it
automatically.  Additionally on the platforms that have a native
concept of a stock button (currently only GTK2) then the native stock
button will be used.  For example, the following will result in a
button with &quot;Cancel&quot; as the label and an accelerator on the &quot;C&quot;, and
if run on wxGTK2 then there will also be an image of a red X:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
b = wx.Button(parent, wx.ID_CANCEL) 
</pre>
<p>Added wx.lib.ticker.Ticker class from Chris Mellon.</p>
<p>Fix some incorrect clipping regions in wxSTC on wxGTK.</p>
<p>Added wrapper for wx.grid.Grid.GetOrCreateCellAttr.</p>
<p>Removed my copy of distutils from the wxPython source tree.  Now that
I am no longer doing builds on Python 2.1 the newest distutils is no
longer needed.  (There is still one small bug in Python 2.2 distutils
on win32, but it is easily worked around.) This sovles the problem of
incorrect builds on some systems where the system installed distutils
has been patched to behave slightly differently, for example SuSE on
x86_64 or Chandler's build.</p>
<p>Updated to SWIG 1.3.22 (plus my patch.)  See wxPython/SWIG/README.txt
in the source tree if you need to use SWIG when building your own copy
of wxPython, or other extension modules that need to integrate with
the wxPython modules.</p>
<p>Added wx.Frame.RequestUserAttention which, if the platform suports it,
will do something (such as flash the task bar item) to suggest to the
user that they should look at that window.</p>
<p>&quot;Fixed&quot; wx.grid.Grid.SetDefaultEditor and SetDefaultRenderer by making
them register the editor or renderer for the &quot;string&quot; data type.</p>
<p>Added depth param to wx.Image.ConvertToBitmap.</p>
<p>Extended the wx.calendar.CalendarCtrl class with methods that get/set
a Python datetime or date object.  (These will only work with Python
2.3+) The methods are PySetDate, PyGetDate, PySetLowerDateLimit,
PySetUpperDateLimit, PySetDateRange, PyGetLowerDateLimit, and
PyGetUpperDateLimit.  Also, CalendarEvent was extended with PySetDate
and PyGetDate methods.</p>
<p>wxMSW: SetBackgroundColour on a wx.Choice or a wx.ComboBox will now
also set the colour of the dropdown.</p>
<p>wxMac: MessageDialog now supports wx.NO_DEFAULT style</p>
<p>wxMSW: added AssociateHandle and DissociateHandle to wx.Window</p>
<p>wxMac: fix for toolbar tooltips</p>
<p>wx.Sizer.Show (and Hide) now take an optional parameter specifying if
the item to be shown should be searched for recursivly in subsizers,
and return a boolean value indicating if the item was found.</p>
<p>wxMSW: fixed MaximizeEvent generation in wx.Frame</p>
<p>wxMSW: fixed sending duplicate EVT_COMBOBOX events</p>
<p>Smoother time estimation updates in wx.ProgressDialog (patch 992813)</p>
<p>Made wx.Listbook events more consistent with wx.Notebook ones (patch
1001271)</p>
<p>Fixed rounding errors in variable status bar panes widths computation
(patch 1030021)</p>
<p>Added possibility to specify printer bin (patch 910272)</p>
<p>wxMSW: fixed wx.ListCtrl's SetWindowStyleFlag() to not remove
WS_VISIBLE; also refresh the control automatically (closes bug
1019440)</p>
<p>Added wx.Choicebook, yet another notebook-like control.</p>
<p>wxMSW: Make radiobutton tab behaviour the same on MSW as in standard
MSW app, i.e. tab into the activated, not necessarily the first radio
button.</p>
<p>Added limited support for wxEventLoop (you can't derive from a
wx.PyEventLoop version yet...)  Updated and moved the sample showing
how to replace the MainLoop to samples/mainloop/mainloop.py.</p>
<p>The C++ xrc lib has been moved out of contrib and into the core, so it
is always built by default.  wxPython's build has also changed
accordingly and will build the xrc module as part of the core set of
modules built by default.  If you were axplicitly using BUILD_XRC then
it will no longer be recognized as a build option, otherwise you
should notice no difference.</p>
<p>wxMac: Fixed radio toolbar buttons to correctly untoggle the others
when a new one is selected.</p>
<p>wxMac: Fixed GetLineLength and GetLineText for MLTE text controls</p>
<p>wxMac: wx.TaskBarIcon is implemented by allowing you to change the
app's icon on the Dock and also specifying a menu that should be
merged with the normal dock popup menu.  See the MigrationGuide for
more details and a warning.</p>
<p>Added wx.TopLevelWindow.IsActive() which tells you if the frame or
dialog is or containts the active window with the keyboard focus.</p>
<p>Added ability to create a font based on pixel size rather than point
size via the FontFromPixelSize constructor.</p>
<p>Updated the Scintilla used by StyledTextCtrl to version 1.61</p>
<p>Improved image HitTest for TreeListCtrl.</p>
<p>Added wx.App.IsMainLoopRunning.</p>
<p>wxGTK: Make wxComboBox spit out a bit fewer surplus events when
holding down the mouse button.</p>
<p>wxGTK: Enable key based navigation through notebook tabs as in the
native control with Left and right keys. Support for vetoing.</p>

</div>
<div class="section" id="id2">
<h1><a name="id2">2.5.2.8</a></h1>

</ul>
</blockquote>
</div>
<div class="section" id="id3">
<h1><a name="id3">2.5.2.7</a></h1>
<p>wx.ADJUST_MINSIZE is now the default behaviour for window items in
sizers.  This means that the item's GetMinSize and/or GetBestSize will
be called when calculating layout and the return value from that will
be used for the minimum size used by the sizer.  The wx.FIXED_MINSIZE
flag was added that will cause the sizer to use the old behaviour in
that it will <em>not</em> call the window's methods to determine the new best
size, instead the minsize that the window had when added to the sizer
(or the size the window was created with) will always be used.  Please
see the Sizers section in the Migration Guide for more details.</p>
<p>Added new MaskedEditControl code from Will Sadkin.  The modules are
now locaed in their own sub-package, wx.lib.masked.  Demos updated.</p>
<p>The changes that implemented the incompatible wx.DC methods in 2.5.1.5
have been reverted.  The wx.DC methods are now compatible with the 2.4
implemetation.  In addition a set of renamed methods have been added
that take wx.Point and/or wx.Size objects instead of individual
parameters.</p>
<p>Added wx.lib.mixins.listctrl.TextEditMixin, a mixin class that allows
all columns of a wx.ListCtrl in report mode to be edited.</p>
<p>Deprecated the wx.iewin module.</p>
<p>Deprecated the wx.Sizer.AddWindow, AddSizer, AddSpacer methods as well
as their Insert* and Prepend* counterparts.</p>
<p>Added a generic StaticBitmap class in wx.lib.statbmp for the same
reasons that stattext was created, so it could be mouse sensitive on
all platforms like normal windows.  Also updated stattext.py and
buttons.py to handle attribute (font &amp; colour) defaults and
inheritance the new way.  If you have custom controls of your own you
should review stattxt.py or one of the others to see how it is to be
done.</p>
<p>wx.InitAllImageHandlers is now an empty function that does nothing but
exist for backwards compatibility.  The C++ version is now called
automatically when wxPython is initialized.  Since all the handlers
are included in the wxWidgets shared library anyway, this imposes only
a very small amount of overhead and removes several unneccessary
problems.</p>
<p>Replaced wx/lib/pubsub.py with a version that uses weak references to
track the subscribers, plus other fixes/additions.  Thanks go to
Oliver Schoenborn and Robb Shecter.</p>
<p>wxGTK now uses gtk_init_check so wxPython can raise an exception if
there is no DISPLAY available or other initializaion problem.</p>
<p>wx.GetKeyState now has an implementation for wxGTK and is able to
detect the up/down or toggle state of modifier and toggle keys.</p>
<p>The LC_NUMERIC locale is now reset back to &quot;C&quot; (compatibility) when
running on wxGTK to work around the fact that GTK requires the locale
to be set to the system settings but Python depends on LC_NUMERIC
remaining compatible with &quot;C&quot;.</p>
<p>Switched gizmos.TreeListCtrl to the newer version of the code from the
wxCode project.</p>
<p>OGL is dead! LONG LIVE OGL!  (Oops, sorry.  A bit of my dramatic side
leaked out there...)  The wx.ogl module has been deprecated in favor
of the new Python port of the OGL library located at wx.lib.ogl

40efbdda RD	198	<p>wx.ADJUST_MINSIZE is now the default behaviour for window items in
	199	sizers. This means that the item's GetMinSize and/or GetBestSize will
	200	be called when calculating layout and the return value from that will
	201	be used for the minimum size used by the sizer. The wx.FIXED_MINSIZE
	202	flag was added that will cause the sizer to use the old behaviour in
	203	that it will <em>not</em> call the window's methods to determine the new best
	204	size, instead the minsize that the window had when added to the sizer
da2c7672 RD	205	(or the size the window was created with) will always be used. Please
da2c7672 RD	206	see the Sizers section in the Migration Guide for more details.</p>
40efbdda RD	207	<p>Added new MaskedEditControl code from Will Sadkin. The modules are
	208	now locaed in their own sub-package, wx.lib.masked. Demos updated.</p>
	209	<p>The changes that implemented the incompatible wx.DC methods in 2.5.1.5
	210	have been reverted. The wx.DC methods are now compatible with the 2.4
	211	implemetation. In addition a set of renamed methods have been added
	212	that take wx.Point and/or wx.Size objects instead of individual
	213	parameters.</p>
	214	<p>Added wx.lib.mixins.listctrl.TextEditMixin, a mixin class that allows
	215	all columns of a wx.ListCtrl in report mode to be edited.</p>
	216	<p>Deprecated the wx.iewin module.</p>
	217	<p>Deprecated the wx.Sizer.AddWindow, AddSizer, AddSpacer methods as well
	218	as their Insert* and Prepend* counterparts.</p>
	219	<p>Added a generic StaticBitmap class in wx.lib.statbmp for the same
	220	reasons that stattext was created, so it could be mouse sensitive on
	221	all platforms like normal windows. Also updated stattext.py and
	222	buttons.py to handle attribute (font & colour) defaults and
	223	inheritance the new way. If you have custom controls of your own you
	224	should review stattxt.py or one of the others to see how it is to be
	225	done.</p>
	226	<p>wx.InitAllImageHandlers is now an empty function that does nothing but
	227	exist for backwards compatibility. The C++ version is now called
	228	automatically when wxPython is initialized. Since all the handlers
	229	are included in the wxWidgets shared library anyway, this imposes only
	230	a very small amount of overhead and removes several unneccessary
	231	problems.</p>
	232	<p>Replaced wx/lib/pubsub.py with a version that uses weak references to
	233	track the subscribers, plus other fixes/additions. Thanks go to
	234	Oliver Schoenborn and Robb Shecter.</p>
	235	<p>wxGTK now uses gtk_init_check so wxPython can raise an exception if
	236	there is no DISPLAY available or other initializaion problem.</p>
	237	<p>wx.GetKeyState now has an implementation for wxGTK and is able to
	238	detect the up/down or toggle state of modifier and toggle keys.</p>
	239	<p>The LC_NUMERIC locale is now reset back to "C" (compatibility) when
	240	running on wxGTK to work around the fact that GTK requires the locale
	241	to be set to the system settings but Python depends on LC_NUMERIC
	242	remaining compatible with "C".</p>
	243	<p>Switched gizmos.TreeListCtrl to the newer version of the code from the
	244	wxCode project.</p>
	245	<p>OGL is dead! LONG LIVE OGL! (Oops, sorry. A bit of my dramatic side
	246	leaked out there...) The wx.ogl module has been deprecated in favor
	247	of the new Python port of the OGL library located at wx.lib.ogl
