2 | ||
3 | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | |
4 | ||
5 | 2.3.3 | |
6 | ----- | |
7 | Added wxSplashScreen. | |
8 | ||
9 | Added wxGenericDirCtrl. | |
10 | ||
11 | Added wxMultiChoiceDialog. | |
12 | ||
13 | The calltip window and autocomplete window in wxSTC will now use a | |
14 | wxPopupWindow if available so they can extend beyond the client area | |
15 | of the STC if needed. | |
16 | ||
17 | Finished wrapping and providing typemaps for wxInputStream and also | |
18 | added the stream ctor and other methods for wxImage so images can now | |
19 | be loaded from any Python "file-like" object. | |
20 | ||
21 | Changed the img2py tool to use PNG instead of XPM for embedding image | |
22 | data in Python source code, and the generated code now uses streams to | |
23 | convert the image data to wxImage, wxBitmap, or wxIcon. | |
24 | ||
25 | Added the wxPython.lib.rcsizer module which contains RowColSizer. | |
26 | This sizer is based on code from Niki Spahiev and lets you specify a | |
27 | row and column for each item, as well as optional column or row | |
28 | spanning. Cells with no item assigned to it are just left blank. | |
29 | Stretchable rows or columns are specified and work the same as in | |
30 | wxFlexGridSizer. | |
31 | ||
32 | Updated XRCed from Roman Rolinsky | |
33 | ||
34 | Added wxBufferedDC. | |
35 | ||
36 | Upgraded wxSTC from Scintilla 1.40 to Scintilla 1.45 | |
37 | ||
38 | UNICODE! | |
39 | ||
40 | wxWindows/wxPython can be compiled with unicode support enabled or | |
41 | disabled. Previous to wxPython 2.3.3 non-unicode mode was always | |
42 | used. Starting with 2.3.3 either mode is supported, but only if | |
43 | it is also available in wxWindows on the platform. Currently | |
44 | wxWindows only supports unicode on MS Windows platforms, but with | |
45 | the recent release of GTK+ 2.0 it is only a matter of time until | |
46 | it can be done on wxGTK (Linux and other unixes) as well. | |
47 | ||
48 | Unicode works best on platforms in the NT branch of the Windows | |
49 | family tree (NT, win2k, XP) but it is now also possible to use the | |
50 | same unicode binaries on win95/98/ME platforms as well! This is | |
51 | done by using a special library and DLL with the application | |
52 | called MSLU, (Microsoft Layer for Unicode). It simply gets out of | |
53 | the way if the app is run on an NT box, otherwise if run on a | |
54 | win9x box it loads a special DLL that provides the unicode | |
55 | versions of the windows API. So far I have not been able to get | |
56 | this to work perfectly on win9x. Most things work fine but | |
57 | wxTaskBarIcon for example will cause a crash if used with the | |
58 | unicode build on win95. | |
59 | ||
60 | So how do you use it? It's very simple. When unicode is enabled, | |
61 | then all functions and methods in wxPython that return a wxString | |
62 | from the C++ function will return a Python unicode object, and | |
63 | parameters to C++ functions/methods that expect a wxString can | |
64 | accept either a Python string or unicode object. If a string | |
65 | object is passed then it will be decoded into unicode using the | |
66 | converter pointed to by wxConvCurrent, which will use the default | |
67 | system encoding. If you need to use a string in some other | |
68 | encoding then you should convert it to unicode using the Python | |
69 | codecs first and then pass the unicode string to the wxPython | |
70 | method. | |
71 | ||
72 | Added wxListCtrlAutoWidthMixin from Erik Westra. | |
73 | ||
74 | Added wxIconBundle and wxTopLevelWindow.SetIcons. | |
75 | ||
76 | Added wxLocale and wxEncodingConverter. | |
77 | ||
78 | A little black magic... When the C++ object (for a window or | |
79 | whatever) is deleted there is no way to force the Python shadow object | |
80 | to also be destroyed and clean up all references to it. This leads to | |
81 | crashes if the shadow object tries to call a method with the old C++ | |
82 | pointer. The black magic I've done is to replace the __class__ in the | |
83 | Python instance object with a class that raises an exception whenever | |
84 | a method call (or other attribute access) is attempted. This works | |
85 | for any class that is OOR aware. | |
86 | ||
87 | Added OOR support for wxGridCellRenderer, wxGridCellEditor, | |
88 | wxGridCellAttr, wxGridCellAttrProvider, wxGridTableBase and their | |
89 | derived classes. | |
90 | ||
91 | Added wxImage.GetDataBuffer which returns an in-place edit buffer of | |
92 | the image data. (Patch #546009) | |
93 | ||
94 | Added a sample that shows how to embed wxPython in a wxWindows C++ | |
95 | application. | |
96 | ||
97 | ||
98 | ||
99 | 2.3.2.1 | |
100 | ------- | |
101 | Changed (again) how the Python global interpreter lock is handled as | |
102 | well as the Python thread state. This time it works on SMP machines | |
103 | without barfing and is also still compatible with Python debuggers. | |
104 | ||
105 | Added some patches from library contributors. | |
106 | ||
107 | ||
108 | ||
109 | 2.3.2 | |
110 | ----- | |
111 | Added EVT_HELP, EVT_HELP_RANGE, EVT_DETAILED_HELP, | |
112 | EVT_DETAILED_HELP_RANGE, EVT_CONTEXT_MENU, wxHelpEvent, | |
113 | wxContextMenuEvent, wxContextHelp, wxContextHelpButton, wxTipWindow, | |
114 | and a demo to show them in action. | |
115 | ||
116 | Deprecated PyShell and PyShellWindow, added a snapshot of PyCrust (see | |
117 | http://sourceforge.net/projects/pycrust/. ) | |
118 | ||
119 | Added the new virtual list capabilities to wxListCtrl. | |
120 | ||
121 | Added a wxSTC style editor from Riaan Booysen to the sample apps. | |
122 | ||
123 | Added XRCed to the wxPython Tools directory, contributed by Roman | |
124 | Rolinsky. | |
125 | ||
126 | Added a new "constructor" to most of the window classes that calls the | |
127 | default C++ contructor, (the one with no parameters) and also added the | |
128 | coresponding Create(...) method. This allows you to do a 2-step | |
129 | creation of windows which is sometimes required for doing things such | |
130 | as setting extended style flags before the window is created, or for | |
131 | passing the object to the XRC resource system to be created from the | |
132 | resource. The name of the new "constructor" is the original name of | |
133 | the class with a "Pre" in it. For example, wxPreWindow, wxPreFrame, | |
134 | etc. | |
135 | ||
136 | Updated to version 1.40 of Scintilla and updated wxStyledTextCtrl | |
137 | accordingly. While doing this update I dropped the wxLB_SORT style | |
138 | from the wxListBox created for the AutoComplete functionality. This | |
139 | means that you will have to sort the keyword lists yourself, but you | |
140 | are free to do case sensitive or case insensitive sorts and set the | |
141 | wxSTC flag accordingly. | |
142 | ||
143 | Updated wxColumnSorterMixin to also be able to place sort icons on the | |
144 | column headers, and updated the wxListCtrl demo to show it off by | |
145 | using wxColumnSorterMixin. | |
146 | ||
147 | Added wxGenBitmapTextButton, TablePrint, etc. contribs from Lorne White. | |
148 | ||
149 | Added wxNativeFontInfo and wxFontMapper. | |
150 | ||
151 | Added pySketch to the samples. | |
152 | ||
153 | Significantly changed how the Python interpreter lock and thread state | |
154 | are managed, which should fix the problem of running on a | |
155 | multi-processor machine. | |
156 | ||
157 | Added wxPyLog so log targets can be created in Python to handle log | |
158 | messages however is wished. See demo/Main.py for an example. | |
159 | ||
160 | Added wxFindReplaceDialog. | |
161 | ||
162 | The second phase of OOR is implemented for wxEvtHandler, wxSizer, | |
163 | wxShape and derived classes. This means that functions and methods | |
164 | that return an object derived from wxEvtHandler that was originally | |
165 | created in Python, will return the original Python object (if it still | |
166 | exists) instead of letting SWIG wrap a new shadow object around the | |
167 | original C++ pointer. | |
168 | ||
169 | Added some optimization methods to wxDC: GetBoundingBox, DrawLineList, | |
170 | DrawPointList. | |
171 | ||
172 | Added a set of sophisticated Error Dialogs from Chris Fama. | |
173 | ||
174 | Added wxRightTextCtrl from Josu Oyanguren to wxPython.lib for aligning | |
175 | text in a wxTextCtrl to the right side. | |
176 | ||
177 | Added wxURLDataObject and an example showing drag and drop of URLs to | |
178 | and from web browsers. It's still not 100% bullet-proof for all types | |
179 | of browsers, but it works for the majority of cases with the popular | |
180 | browsers on Windows. On wxGTK it seems that only Netscape 4.x works, | |
181 | if anybody has any suggestions about this please bring it up on the | |
182 | wx-dev list. | |
183 | ||
184 | Added wxStopWatch. | |
185 | ||
186 | Added wxMimeTypesManager and wxFileType. | |
187 | ||
188 | Passing None for the handler parameter to one of the EVT_** functions | |
189 | will now Disconnect the event. | |
190 | ||
191 | Added wxPopupWindow and wxPopupTransientWindow. | |
192 | ||
193 | Added wxFileHistory. | |
194 | ||
195 | Added wxDynamicSashWindow, which allows you to endlessly split windows | |
196 | by dragging a little tab next to the scrollbars. Added a demo to show | |
197 | this and also the ability of multiple wxStyledTextCtrls to share the | |
198 | same document. | |
199 | ||
200 | Added wxEditableListBox gizmo. | |
201 | ||
202 | Updated wxEditor with lots of enhancements from Steve Howell and Adam | |
203 | Feuer. | |
204 | ||
205 | Added the "SplitTree gizmos" which are a collection of classes that | |
206 | were designed to operate together and provide a tree control with | |
207 | additional columns for each item. The classes are | |
208 | wxRemotelyScrolledTreeCtrl, wxTreeCompanionWindow, | |
209 | wxThinSplitterWindow, and wxSplitterScrolledWindow, some of which may | |
210 | also be useful by themselves. | |
211 | ||
212 | Added wxDllWidget from Vaclav Slavik which allows wx widgets derived | |
213 | from wxWindow to be loaded from a C++ .dll (or .so) and be used in a | |
214 | wxPython program, without the widget having to be SWIGged first. The | |
215 | visible API of the widget is limited to wxWindow methods plus a | |
216 | SendCommand method, but it is still quite powerful. See | |
217 | wxPython/contrib/dllwidget and wxPython/demo/dllwidget for more | |
218 | details. | |
219 | ||
220 | ||
221 | ||
222 | ||
223 | 2.3.1 | |
224 | ----- | |
225 | Added EVT_GRID_EDITOR_CREATED and wxGridEditorCreatedEvent so the user | |
226 | code can get access to the edit control when it is created, (to push | |
227 | on a custom event handler for example.) | |
228 | ||
229 | Added wxTextAttr class and SetStyle, SetDefaultStyle and | |
230 | GetDefaultStyle methods to wxTextCtrl. | |
231 | ||
232 | Added ability to use xml resource files. Still need to add ability to | |
233 | subclass wxXmlResourceHandler, etc... | |
234 | ||
235 | Added wxGridAutoEditMixin to the mixins library package. | |
236 | ||
237 | Made ColourSelect be derived from wxButton. | |
238 | ||
239 | Fixed img2py to work correctly with Python 2.1. | |
240 | ||
241 | Added enhanced wxVTKRenderWindow by Prabhu Ramachandran | |
242 | ||
243 | ||
244 | ||
245 | 2.3.0 | |
246 | ----- | |
247 | Removed initial startup dependency on the OpenGL DLLs so only the | |
248 | glcanvasc.pyd depends on them, (on wxMSW.) | |
249 | ||
250 | Changed wxFont, wxPen, wxBrush to not implicitly use the | |
251 | wxThe[Font|Pen|Brush]List objects behind the scenes, but to use normal | |
252 | ctor and dtors. | |
253 | ||
254 | Exposed the wxThe[Font|Pen|Brush]List to wxPython. | |
255 | ||
256 | Also added wxTheColourDatabase and added a library module (in the | |
257 | wxPython.lib.colourdb module) to load LOTS more colour names into the | |
258 | colour database. | |
259 | ||
260 | Added wxWakeUpMainThread, wxMutexGuiEnter, wxMutexGuiLeave, | |
261 | wxMutexGuiLocker and wxThread_IsMain to assist with dealing with GUI | |
262 | access from non-GUI threads. | |
263 | ||
264 | wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow is now (more) thread safe if non-GUI threads | |
265 | use print, sys.stdout.write, etc. | |
266 | ||
267 | Added CreateTextSizer and CreateButtonSizer to wxDialog | |
268 | ||
269 | Added wxPython/lib/infoframe.py from Chris Fama. It contains a class | |
270 | that can be used in place of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow. | |
271 | ||
272 | Added colourselect.py, imagebrowser.py and an updated calendar.py to | |
273 | wxPython/lib from Lorne White. | |
274 | ||
275 | Added patch to wxPoint_LIST_helper from Tim Hochberg that should make | |
276 | it gobs faster in certain situations. | |
277 | ||
278 | Added tools that will take an image file in a wx supported format and | |
279 | convert it to data embedded in a Python source file. The image is | |
280 | converted to XPM format which is essentially a list of strings | |
281 | containing info about each pixel. The image's transparency mask is | |
282 | included, if there is one, or a mask can be added if a mask colour is | |
283 | specified on the command line. It is then pickled and optionally | |
284 | compressed and written to a Python source file along with functions to | |
285 | convert it to either a wxBitmap or a wxImage. See | |
286 | wxPython/demo/images.py for examples, and wxPython/Tools/img2py.py for | |
287 | the implementation. | |
288 | ||
289 | Fixed wxStyledTextCtrl to be much faster on wxGTK. There was some | |
290 | experimental code that got left in place that ended up causing way too | |
291 | many refreshes. | |
292 | ||
293 | A couple more hacks in my_distutils.py so wxPython can be built with | |
294 | the distutils that comes with Python 2.1. | |
295 | ||
296 | Added a ton of missing methods for wxPrintData. | |
297 | ||
298 | Switched to InnoSetup for MSW distributions. | |
299 | ||
300 | Added wxToggleButton. | |
301 | ||
302 | Fixed bug that prevented wxTreeCtrl.OnCompareItems from being called. | |
303 | ||
304 | Added some methods to wxGrid: | |
305 | GetCellHighlightPenWidth | |
306 | GetCellHighlightROPenWidth | |
307 | SetCellHighlightPenWidth | |
308 | SetCellHighlightROPenWidth | |
309 | GetGridWindow | |
310 | GetGridRowLabelWindow | |
311 | GetGridColLabelWindow | |
312 | GetGridCornerLabelWindow | |
313 | ||
314 | Added wxGetClientDisplayRect which on wxMSW returns a wxRect | |
315 | representing the area on screen not occupied by the taskbar and such. | |
316 | On other platforms it is equivallent to wxGetDisplaySize. | |
317 | ||
318 | ||
319 | ***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***--- | |
320 | Implemented the first phase of OOR (Original Object Return). See | |
321 | the text in the demo for more details of what this means, but in a | |
322 | nutshell methods such as wxWindow.GetParent or FindWindowById will | |
323 | now return a shadow object of the proper type if it can. By | |
324 | "proper type" I mean that if the wxWindow pointer returned from | |
325 | FindWindowById really points to a wxButton then the Python object | |
326 | constructed will be of a wxButtonPtr class instead of wxWindowPtr | |
327 | as before. This should reduce or eliminiate the need for | |
328 | wxPyTypeCast. (Woo Hoo!) The objects returned are still not the | |
329 | original Python object, but that is the next step. (Although it | |
330 | will probably only work on Python 2.1 and beyond because it will | |
331 | use weak references.) | |
332 | ||
333 | This first phase of the OOR plan is fairly significant and has | |
334 | required a lot of changes all over wxPython, most of which should | |
335 | be transparent to you, however I'm not 100% sure that it didn't | |
336 | introduce any new bugs that are hiding somewhere and didn't get | |
337 | stomped on during my testing. So please be sure to test everything | |
338 | thoroughly when you install this version and be sure to report any | |
339 | object-type related oddities to me. | |
340 | ***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***--- | |
341 | ||
342 | There is now a wxObject class that most other classes derive from like | |
343 | in C++, but the methods provided don't really match but are wxPython | |
344 | specific. It could have been added long ago but OOR required it so it | |
345 | finally got done. | |
346 | ||
347 | Finally added wxPyLineShape.GetLineControlPoints, which has been on my | |
348 | list for a while. The above OOR modification made this easier. | |
349 | ||
350 | Fixed the __cmp__ methods for wxPoint and others. | |
351 | ||
352 | Added wxWave. | |
353 | ||
354 | Added the wxPython.lib.mixins package to the library, it is where | |
355 | useful mix-in classes can be placed. Currently there is one to help | |
356 | make the columns in a wxListCtrl sortable, and the MagicIMageList from | |
357 | Mike Fletcher. If you have any custom code that can be factored out | |
358 | of existing classes into a mix-in that would be useful to others | |
359 | please send it to me for inclusion in this package. | |
360 | ||
361 | Added a few little sample applications to help newbies to get started | |
362 | by having smaller functional apps to play with. They can be found in | |
363 | wxPython/samples. | |
364 | ||
365 | ||
366 | ||
367 | ||
368 | 2.2.6 | |
369 | ----- | |
370 | ||
371 | No changes happened in the Python wrappers for this release, only | |
372 | changes and fixes in the wxWindows library. | |
373 | ||
374 | ||
375 | ||
376 | 2.2.5 | |
377 | ----- | |
378 | ||
379 | New typemaps for wxString when compiling for Python 2.0 and beyond | |
380 | that allow Unicode objects to be passed as well as String objects. If | |
381 | a Unicode object is passed PyString_AsStringAndSize is used to convert | |
382 | it to a wxString using the default encoding. | |
383 | ||
384 | Fixed the generic buttons so tool tips work for them. | |
385 | ||
386 | Fixed a bug in the demo's tree control. | |
387 | ||
388 | Added a listbox to the listbox demo that shows how to find items with | |
389 | a matching prefix as keys are typed. | |
390 | ||
391 | Added code to the wxListCtrl demo to show how to get text from a | |
392 | column in report mode. | |
393 | ||
394 | Added code to the toolbar demo to clear the long help from the status | |
395 | bar after 2 seconds. | |
396 | ||
397 | Added wxJoystick. | |
398 | ||
399 | Fixed wxTimer so it can be used as described in the docs, either with | |
400 | a Notify method in a subclass, or sending an event to a wxEvtHandler | |
401 | object, (usually a window.) | |
402 | ||
403 | Added wxNotifyEvent.Allow() | |
404 | ||
405 | Fixed GOBS of reference leaks. | |
406 | ||
407 | Massive code changes and cleanup to allow wxPython to be split into | |
408 | multiple extension modules again. A Python CObject is used to allow | |
409 | the "export" of SWIG functions and other common helper functions from | |
410 | the wxc module to other modules, even if they are in separate shared | |
411 | libraries. Should also be usable from 3rd party code, just include | |
412 | wxPython/src/export.h | |
413 | ||
414 | Changed the default setup so the following are built as separate | |
415 | extension modules: calendar, glcanvas, grid, html, ogl, stc, and | |
416 | utils. Will probably add more later. | |
417 | ||
418 | Changed the wxPrinterDC to use the new constructor taking a | |
419 | wxPrintData object. The old ctor is still there using the | |
420 | wxPrinterDC2 name. | |
421 | ||
422 | Added wxPython.lib.anchors.py from Riaan Booysen. It contains a class | |
423 | that implements Delphi's Anchors with wxLayoutConstraints. | |
424 | ||
425 | Added wxPython.lib.fancytext from Timothy Hochberg. | |
426 | ||
427 | Changed the GenericButtons to send their event in idle time, so the | |
428 | mouse won't be captured when the event handler is called. | |
429 | ||
430 | Added wxPython.lib.rpcMixin from Greg Landrum, although it's not | |
431 | integrated with the demo yet. It allows a wxPython GUI to be an | |
432 | XML-RPC server. | |
433 | ||
434 | ||
435 | ||
436 | New in 2.2.2 | |
437 | ------------ | |
438 | ||
439 | Significantly changed how the wxStyledtextCtrl code that wraps | |
440 | Scintilla is implemented. Most of it is now automatically generated | |
441 | from an interface definition file provided by Scintilla. This means | |
442 | that it will be much easier to stay in sync with new Scintilla | |
443 | releases, but also means that some of the method and identifier names | |
444 | have changed. See wxPython/demo/data/stc.h for a copy of the C++ | |
445 | interface from which the Python interface is generated. There is now | |
446 | some inline documentation in that file that should really help explain | |
447 | how things work. | |
448 | ||
449 | I am now using the Python Distutils to build wxPython and to make some | |
450 | of the distribution files. (See http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/) | |
451 | This means no more messing with my kludgy build.py/Makefile hack, | |
452 | builds will be more consistent with other Python extensions that also | |
453 | use Distutils, and will hopefully make wxPython easier to build for | |
454 | platforms where there have been troubles before. If you are building | |
455 | wxPython for Python 1.5.2 or for 1.6, then you will need to get and | |
456 | install version 1.0 of Distutils from the website above. If you are | |
457 | using Python 2.0 then you already have it. | |
458 | ||
459 | Added wxInputStream and the wxFileSystem family of classes, | |
460 | contributed by Joerg Baumann. | |
461 | ||
462 | Added wxProcess and support for it to wxExecute. wxProcess lets you | |
463 | get notified when an asyncronous child process terminates, and also to | |
464 | get input/output streams for the child process's stdout, stderr and | |
465 | stdin. | |
466 | ||
467 | Removed the old python sizers. | |
468 | ||
469 | Added __add__, __sub__ and __cmp__ (equality check only) for wxPoint | |
470 | and wxRealPoint. | |
471 | ||
472 | Changed the build to make one big extension module instead of one for | |
473 | the core and each contrib. This allowed me to do away with the | |
474 | libwxPyHelpers.so on unix systems. | |
475 | ||
476 | Lots of little fixes here and there. | |
477 | ||
478 | Some hacks on wxGTK to try and make the AutoComplete listbox in the | |
479 | wxStyledTextCtrl to behave better. It's still not as nice as on | |
480 | wxMSW, but at least it's a bit more usable now. | |
481 | ||
482 | ||
483 | ||
484 | ||
485 | New in 2.2.1 | |
486 | ------------ | |
487 | ||
488 | Various tweaks, fixes, missing methods, etc. | |
489 | ||
490 | Added example use of wxTaskBarIcon to the demo. | |
491 | ||
492 | ||
493 | ||
494 | New in 2.2.0 | |
495 | ------------ | |
496 | ||
497 | Added wxLog and friends. | |
498 | ||
499 | Added wxFrame.ShowFullScreen for MSW. | |
500 | ||
501 | Added PyShellWindow to the wxPython.lib package. | |
502 | ||
503 | ||
504 | ||
505 | New in 2.1.16 | |
506 | ------------- | |
507 | ||
508 | Added an attribute named labelDelta to the generic buttons that | |
509 | specifies how far to offset the label when the button is in the | |
510 | depressed state. | |
511 | ||
512 | Added wxTipProvider and friends. See the demo for an example. | |
513 | ||
514 | wxGrid can now change the cell highlight colour. | |
515 | ||
516 | Added wxDragImage. | |
517 | ||
518 | Fixed printing on wxGTK. | |
519 | ||
520 | Added wxDateTime, wxTimeSpan, and wxDateSpan to wxPython.utils. | |
521 | ||
522 | Added wxCalendarCtrl. | |
523 | ||
524 | WARNING: A while back I asked what should be done about the Magic | |
525 | Method Names. (Methods that are automatically turned into event | |
526 | handlers by virtue of their name.) The consensus was that it is more | |
527 | confusing to have them than to try and expand them to have greater | |
528 | coverage. I am finally getting around to removing the code that | |
529 | generates the event binding. This means that if you are using any of | |
530 | the following method names without a EVT_* call that you need to | |
531 | modify your code to add the EVT_* to hook the event to the method. | |
532 | ||
533 | OnChar | |
534 | OnSize | |
535 | OnEraseBackground | |
536 | OnSysColourChanged | |
537 | OnInitDialog | |
538 | OnPaint | |
539 | OnIdle | |
540 | OnActivate | |
541 | OnMenuHighlight | |
542 | OnCloseWindow | |
543 | OnScroll | |
544 | ||
545 | Added wxSpinCtrl. | |
546 | ||
547 | ||
548 | ||
549 | ||
550 | New in 2.1.15 | |
551 | ------------- | |
552 | ||
553 | Fixed wxTreeCtrl.HitTest to return both the tree item as well as the | |
554 | flags that clairify where the click was in relation to the item. | |
555 | ||
556 | Fixed thread state problem in wxTreeCtrl.GetBoundingBox and | |
557 | GetSelections. | |
558 | ||
559 | Fixed some problems in OGL. Also wxShape.SetClientData and | |
560 | .GetClientData can now deal with Python objects. | |
561 | ||
562 | Added wxListCtrl.SortItems and changed the demo to show how to use it. | |
563 | ||
564 | Plugged a memory leak. | |
565 | ||
566 | Wrapped the new wxGrid and friends. The old wxGrid class is no longer | |
567 | available. There are some incompatibilities, and unfortunately the | |
568 | new classes are not documented yet, (however the methods are more | |
569 | consistent with each other now so you may be able to guess pretty | |
570 | good...) | |
571 | ||
572 | Updated filebrowsebutton.py and calendar.py with changes from their | |
573 | authors. There is now a FileBrowseButtonWithHistory class (what a | |
574 | mouthful!) and wxCalendar has printing support. | |
575 | ||
576 | Added ActiveXWrapper to the library, and some good demos of it too. | |
577 | It works great for embedding a COM (a.k.a OCX, a.k.a ActiveX) control | |
578 | in a window and calling its methods. It actually creates a new class | |
579 | on the fly that derives from wxWindow, the COM CoClass and others | |
580 | needed to make it all work. The resulting class can be instantiated | |
581 | just like wxWindow, used in sizers, etc. It also responds to all COM | |
582 | method calls, properties, etc., and if the class or a mix-in has | |
583 | matching method names, then the COM events will be propogated back to | |
584 | them. | |
585 | ||
586 | Created a typemap that allows a string to be used for parameters | |
587 | expecting a wxColour type. The string is either a colour name as | |
588 | defined in the wxColourDatabase, or a colour spec of the form | |
589 | "#RRGGBB". See the wxStyledTextCtrl demo for an example. | |
590 | ||
591 | I almost forgot to mention the wxStyledTextCtrl! Yes, the | |
592 | wxStyledTextCtrl is finally in wxPython!! (And the crowd goes | |
593 | wild...) There's no documentaTion yet (the crowd boos and hisses...) | |
594 | but I've included a very readable source file in the | |
595 | wxPython/demo/data directory, a couple fairly good examples, and you | |
596 | can also refer to the Scintilla documentaion at | |
597 | http://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaDoc.html to help fill in the gaps | |
598 | until the docs are done. (The croud murmers contentedly as the tool | |
599 | provider smiles convincingly and removes his flame-proof suit.) | |
600 | ||
601 | ||
602 | ||
603 | ||
604 | What's new in 2.1.13 | |
605 | -------------------- | |
606 | Skipped a version number to match what has been released for wxGTK. | |
607 | ||
608 | Updated wxMVCTree and added a demo for it, also fixed layout on GTK | |
609 | and some flicker problems. | |
610 | ||
611 | Added a wrapper class for the Visualization ToolKit (or VTK) in the | |
612 | wxPython.lib.vtk module. (http://www.kitware.com/) | |
613 | ||
614 | Fixed wxTreeCtrl.SetItemImage and GetItemImage to recognise the new | |
615 | "which" parameter. | |
616 | ||
617 | Added wxPython.lib.spashscreen from Mike Fletcher. | |
618 | ||
619 | Added wxPython.lib.filebrowsebutton also from Mike Fletcher. | |
620 | ||
621 | Renamed wxTreeCtrl.GetParent to GetItemParent to avoid a name clash | |
622 | with wxWindow.GetParent. | |
623 | ||
624 | Added wxIntersectRect to compute the intersection of two wxRect's. | |
625 | It is used like this: | |
626 | ||
627 | intersect = wxIntersectRect(rect1, rect2) | |
628 | ||
629 | If r1 and r2 don't intersect then None is returned, otherwise the | |
630 | rectangle representing the intersection is returned. | |
631 | ||
632 | Some bug fixes for Clipboard and Drag-n-Drop. | |
633 | ||
634 | Rotated text!!! WooHoo! (See wxDC.DrawRotatedText()) | |
635 | ||
636 | Added a set of Generic Buttons to the library. These are simple | |
637 | window classes that look and act like native buttons, but you can have | |
638 | a bit more control over them. The bezel width can be set in addition | |
639 | to colours, fonts, etc. There is a ToggleButton as well as Bitmap | |
640 | versions too. They should also serve as a good example of how to | |
641 | create your own classes derived from wxControl. | |
642 | ||
643 | The C++ wxToolBar classes have been redone, and so have the wxPython | |
644 | wrappers. There have been slight modifications to some of the methods | |
645 | but shouldn't impact anybody too much. I took the opportunity to add | |
646 | support for setting user data on each toolbar tool. The new AddTool | |
647 | methods look like this: | |
648 | ||
649 | def AddTool(ID, | |
650 | bitmap, | |
651 | pushedBitmap = wxNullBitmap, | |
652 | toggle = FALSE, | |
653 | clientData = NULL, | |
654 | shortHelpString = "", | |
655 | longHelpString = "") | |
656 | ||
657 | def AddSimpleTool(ID, | |
658 | bitmap, | |
659 | shortHelpString = "", | |
660 | longHelpString = "", | |
661 | toggle=FALSE) | |
662 | ||
663 | ||
664 | There are also coresponding InsertTool and InsertSimpleTool methods | |
665 | that additionally take an integer position as the first parameter. | |
666 | ||
667 | Added a wrapper for the new PCX and TIFF ImageHandlers. | |
668 | ||
669 | wxRect now simulates attributes named left, right, top and bottom. | |
670 | ||
671 | Removed all non wx stuff from the glcanvas module since DA's PyOpenGL | |
672 | is better and compatible with the wxGLCanvas. You can get it at | |
673 | http://starship.python.net:9673/crew/da/Code/PyOpenGL. | |
674 | ||
675 | Added some missing EVT_ functions. | |
676 | ||
677 | Added Dirk Holtwic's editor classes to the wxPython.lib.editor | |
678 | package. | |
679 | ||
680 | Changed all the "LIST" parameter names to "choices" to match the docs. | |
681 | ||
682 | More fixes for the wxFloatBar, and it now works on wxGTK even better | |
683 | than wxMSW! (The feat is accomplished by using the wxTB_DOCKABLE | |
684 | style flag instead of trying to float it ourselves.) | |
685 | ||
686 | ||
687 | ||
688 | ||
689 | What's new in 2.1.11 | |
690 | -------------------- | |
691 | Skipped a few version numbers so wxMSW, wxGTK and wxPython are all | |
692 | syncronized. | |
693 | ||
694 | wxImage.SetData now makes a copy of the image data before giving it to | |
695 | wxImage. I mistakenly thought that wxImage would copy the data | |
696 | itself. | |
697 | ||
698 | Fixed wxMSW's notebook so the pages get their size set as they are | |
699 | being added. This should remove the need for our | |
700 | wxNotebook.ResizeChildren hack. | |
701 | ||
702 | wxPanels now support AutoLayout, and wxNotebooks and wxSplitterWindows | |
703 | no longer tell their children to Layout() themselves. This will | |
704 | probably only effect you if you have a wxWindow with AutoLayout inside | |
705 | a notebook or splitter. If so, either change it to a wxPanel or add | |
706 | an EVT_SIZE handler that calls Layout(). | |
707 | ||
708 | Fixed deadlock problem that happened when using threads. | |
709 | ||
710 | Added new HTML printing classes. | |
711 | ||
712 | Added wxWindow.GetHandle | |
713 | ||
714 | Apparently wxMouseEvent.Position has been depreciated in wxWindows as | |
715 | it is no longer available by default. You can use GetPositionTuple | |
716 | (returning a tuple with x,y) instead, or GetPosition (returning a | |
717 | wxPoint.) | |
718 | ||
719 | Added wxPostEvent function that allows events to be posted and then | |
720 | processed later. This is a thread-safe way to interact with the GUI | |
721 | thread from other threads. | |
722 | ||
723 | Added Clipboard and Drag-and-Drop classes. | |
724 | ||
725 | Added wxFontEnumerator. | |
726 | ||
727 | Many updates to wxMenu, wxMenuBar. | |
728 | ||
729 | wxPyEvent and wxPyCommandEvent derived classes now give you the actual | |
730 | Python object in the event handler instead of a new shadow. | |
731 | ||
732 | Added a Calendar widget from Lorne White to the library. | |
733 | ||
734 | Made some fixes to the wxFloatbar. It still has some troubles on | |
735 | wxGTK... | |
736 | ||
737 | Added an MVC tree control from Bryn Keller to the library. | |
738 | ||
739 | ||
740 | ||
741 | ||
742 | What's new in 2.1.5 | |
743 | ------------------- | |
744 | This is a quick bug-fix release to take care of a few nasties that | |
745 | crept in at the last minute before 2.1.4 was called done. No new | |
746 | major features. | |
747 | ||
748 | ||
749 | ||
750 | What's new in 2.1.4 | |
751 | -------------------- | |
752 | ||
753 | This release is NOT syncronized with a snapshot release of wxGTK or | |
754 | wxMSW. For MSW this isn't much of a problem since you can get the | |
755 | binaries from the web site. For other platforms you'll have to build | |
756 | wxGTK from CVS. (See http://web.ukonline.co.uk/julian.smart/wxwin/cvs.htm) | |
757 | To get the same set of sources from CVS that I used, checkout using | |
758 | the wxPy-2-1-4 tag. | |
759 | ||
760 | Now back to what's new... | |
761 | ||
762 | Much more support for event-less callbacks and add-on modules. | |
763 | ||
764 | Created add-on module with wxOGL classes. | |
765 | ||
766 | Added wxWindow.GetChildren(). Be careful of this. It returns a *copy* | |
767 | of the list of the window's children. While you are using the list if | |
768 | anything changes in the real list (a child is deleted, etc.) then the | |
769 | list you are holding will suddenly have window references to garbage | |
770 | memory and your app will likely crash. But if you are careful it works | |
771 | great! | |
772 | ||
773 | Added a bunch of new and missing methods to wxTreeCrtl. The | |
774 | SortChildren method is now supported, but currently only for the | |
775 | default sort order. | |
776 | ||
777 | Added typemaps for wxSize, wxPoint, wxRealPoint, and wxRect that allow | |
778 | either the actual objects or Python sequence values to be used. For | |
779 | example, the following are equivallent: | |
780 | ||
781 | win = wxWindow(parent, size = wxSize(100, 100)) | |
782 | win = wxWindow(parent, size = (100, 100)) | |
783 | ||
784 | Super-charged the wxHtml module. You can now create your own tag | |
785 | handlers and also have access to the parser and cell classes. There | |
786 | is a tag handler in the library at wxPython.lib.wxpTag that | |
787 | understands the WXP tag and is able to place wxPython windows on HTML | |
788 | pages. See the demo for an example. | |
789 | ||
790 | A bunch of the methods of wxMenuBar were previously ifdef'd out for | |
791 | wxGTK. Added them back in since the methods exist now. | |
792 | ||
793 | Wrapped the wxHtmlHelpController and related classes. | |
794 | ||
795 | Wrapped the C++ versions of wxSizer and friends. The Python-only | |
796 | versions are still in the library, but depreciated. (You will get a | |
797 | warning message if you try to use them, but the warning can be | |
798 | disabled.) The usage of the C++ versions is slightly different, and | |
799 | the functionality of wxBorderSizer is now part of wxBoxSizer. I have | |
800 | added a few methods to wxSizer to try and make the transition as | |
801 | smooth as possible, I combined all Add methods into a single method | |
802 | that handles all cases, added an AddMany method, etc. One step I did | |
803 | not take was to make the default value of flag in the Add method be | |
804 | wxGROW. This would have made it more backward compatible, but less | |
805 | portable to and from wxWin C++ code. Please see the docs and demo for | |
806 | further details. | |
807 | ||
808 | Added wxPyEvent and wxPyCommandEvent classes, derived from wxEvent and | |
809 | wxCommandEvent. Each of them has SetPyData and GetPyData methods that | |
810 | accept or return a single Python object. You can use these classes | |
811 | directly or derive from them to create your own types of event objects | |
812 | that can pass through the wxWindows event system without loosing their | |
813 | Python parts (as long as they are stored with SetPyData.) Stay tuned | |
814 | for more info and examples in future releases. | |
815 | ||
816 | Added wxPython.lib.grids as an example of how to derive a new sizer | |
817 | from the C++ sizers. In this module you will find wxGridSizer and | |
818 | wxFlexGridSizer. wxGridSizer arrainges its items in a grid in which | |
819 | all the widths and heights are the same. wxFlexgridSizer allows | |
820 | different widths and heights, and you can also specify rows and/or | |
821 | columns that are growable. See the demo for a couple examples for how | |
822 | to use them. | |
823 | ||
824 | Added the wxValidator class, and created a class named wxPyValidator | |
825 | that should be used for the base class of any Python validators. See | |
826 | the demo for an example. Please note that you MUST implement a Clone | |
827 | method in your validator classes because of the way some things work | |
828 | in the underlying C++ library. I did not add wxTextValidator because | |
829 | of some issues of how it transfers data to and from a wxString, which | |
830 | in wxPython is automatically translated to and from Python strings, so | |
831 | there would never be a concrete wxString that would hang around long | |
832 | enough for the validator to do its job. On the other hand, it should | |
833 | be real easy to duplicate the functionality of wxTextValidator in a | |
834 | pure Python class derived from wxPyValidator. | |
835 | ||
836 | I've finally added a feature that has been on my list for close to two | |
837 | years! Ever wondered what that zero is for when you create your app | |
838 | object? Well now you can leave it out or explicitly set it to a true | |
839 | value. This value now controls what is to be done with sys.stdout and | |
840 | sys.stderr. A false value leaves them alone, and a true value sets | |
841 | them to an instance of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow. (On windows the | |
842 | default is true, on unix platforms the default is false.) This class | |
843 | creates a frame containing a wxTextCtrl as soon as anything is written | |
844 | to sys.stdout or sys.stderr. If you close the window it will come | |
845 | back again the next time something is written. (You can call | |
846 | app.RestoreStdio to turn this off.) If you would rather that the stdio be | |
847 | redirected to a file, you can provide a second parameter to your app | |
848 | object's constructor that is a filename. If you want to use your own | |
849 | class instead of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow you can either implement | |
850 | RedirectStdio() in you app class or change the value of | |
851 | wxApp.outputWindowClass like this: | |
852 | ||
853 | class MyApp(wxApp): | |
854 | outputWindowClass = MyClass | |
855 | ||
856 | def OnInit(self): | |
857 | frame = MyFrame() | |
858 | self.SetTopWindow(frame) | |
859 | return true | |
860 | ||
861 | Please see the implementation of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow and wxApp in | |
862 | wx.py for more details. A few words of caution: if you are running | |
863 | your app in a debugger, changing sys.stdout and sys.stderr is likely | |
864 | to really screw things up. | |
865 | ||
866 | Added wxCaret. Unfortunately it's author has still not documented it | |
867 | in the wxWindows docs... | |
868 | ||
869 | Some new 3rd party contributions in wxPython.lib. PyShell, in | |
870 | shell.py is an interesting implementaion of an interactive Python | |
871 | shell in wxWindows. floatbar.py has a class derived from wxToolBar | |
872 | that can sense mouse drags and then reparent itself into another | |
873 | frame. Moving the new frame close to where it came from puts the tool | |
874 | bar back into the original parent. (Unfortunately there is currently | |
875 | a bug in wxGTK's wxFrame.SetToolBar so the FloatBar has some | |
876 | problems...) | |
877 | ||
878 | ||
879 | ||
880 | ||
881 | What's new in 2.1b3 | |
882 | -------------------- | |
883 | ||
884 | This release is syncronized with release 2.1 snapshot 9 of wxWindows. | |
885 | ||
886 | Switched to using SWIG from CVS (see http://swig.cs.uchicago.edu/cvs.html) | |
887 | for some of the new features and such. Also they have encorporated my | |
888 | patches so there is really no reason to stick with the current (very | |
889 | old) release... This version of SWIG gives the following new | |
890 | features: | |
891 | ||
892 | 1. Keyword arguments. You no longer have to specify all the | |
893 | parameters with defaults to a method just to specify a | |
894 | non-default value on the end. You can now do this instead: | |
895 | ||
896 | win = wxWindow(parent, -1, style = mystyle) | |
897 | ||
898 | 2. There is now an an equivalence between Python's None and C++'s | |
899 | NULL. This means that any methods that might return NULL will | |
900 | now return None and you can use none where wxWindows might be | |
901 | expecting NULL. This makes things much more snake-ish. | |
902 | ||
903 | ||
904 | There is a new build system based on a new Python program instead of | |
905 | raw makefiles. Now wxPython builds are virtually the same on MSW or | |
906 | Unix systems. See the end of this file for new build instructions and | |
907 | see distrib/build.py for more details. | |
908 | ||
909 | wxDC.Bilt now includes the useMask parameter, and has been split into | |
910 | two different versions. wxDC.BlitXY is like what was there before and | |
911 | takes raw coordinants and sizes, and the new wxDC.Blit is for the new | |
912 | interface using wxPoints and a wxSize. | |
913 | ||
914 | ||
915 | ||
916 | ||
917 | ||
918 | What's new in 2.1b2 | |
919 | -------------------- | |
920 | ||
921 | Added the missing wxWindow.GetUpdateRegion() method. | |
922 | ||
923 | Made a new change in SWIG (update your patches everybody) that | |
924 | provides a fix for global shadow objects that get an exception in | |
925 | their __del__ when their extension module has already been deleted. | |
926 | It was only a 1 line change in .../SWIG/Modules/pycpp.cxx at about | |
927 | line 496 if you want to do it by hand. | |
928 | ||
929 | It is now possible to run through MainLoop more than once in any one | |
930 | process. The cleanup that used to happen as MainLoop completed (and | |
931 | prevented it from running again) has been delayed until the wxc module | |
932 | is being unloaded by Python. | |
933 | ||
934 | I fixed a bunch of stuff in the C++ version of wxGrid so it wouldn't | |
935 | make wxPython look bad. | |
936 | ||
937 | wxWindow.PopupMenu() now takes a wxPoint instead of x,y. Added | |
938 | wxWindow.PopupMenuXY to be consistent with some other methods. | |
939 | ||
940 | Added wxGrid.SetEditInPlace and wxGrid.GetEditInPlace. | |
941 | ||
942 | You can now provide your own app.MainLoop method. See | |
943 | wxPython/demo/demoMainLoop.py for an example and some explaination. | |
944 | ||
945 | Got the in-place-edit for the wxTreeCtrl fixed and added some demo | |
946 | code to show how to use it. | |
947 | ||
948 | Put the wxIcon constructor back in for GTK as it now has one that | |
949 | matches MSW's. | |
950 | ||
951 | Added wxGrid.GetCells | |
952 | ||
953 | Added wxSystemSettings static methods as functions with names like | |
954 | wxSystemSettings_GetSystemColour. | |
955 | ||
956 | Removed wxPyMenu since using menu callbacks have been depreciated in | |
957 | wxWindows. Use wxMenu and events instead. | |
958 | ||
959 | Added alternate wxBitmap constructor (for MSW only) as | |
960 | wxBitmapFromData(data, type, width, height, depth = 1) | |
961 | ||
962 | Added a helper function named wxPyTypeCast that can convert shadow | |
963 | objects of one type into shadow objects of another type. (Like doing | |
964 | a down-cast.) See the implementation in wx.py for some docs. | |
965 | ||
966 | Fixed wxImage GetData and SetData to properly use String objects for | |
967 | data transfer. | |
968 | ||
969 | Added access methods to wxGridEvent. | |
970 | ||
971 | New Makefile/Setup files supporting multiple dynamic extension modules | |
972 | for unix systems. | |
973 | ||
974 | Fixes for the wxGLCanvas demo to work around a strange bug in gtk. | |
975 | ||
976 | SWIG support routines now compiled separately instead of being bundled | |
977 | in wx.cpp. | |
978 | ||
979 | ||
980 | ||
981 | ||
982 | ||
983 | What's new in 2.1b1 | |
984 | -------------------- | |
985 | Fixed wxComboBox.SetSelection so that it actually sets the selected | |
986 | item. (Actually just removed it from wxPython and let it default to | |
987 | wxChoice.SetSelection which was already doing the right thing.) | |
988 | ||
989 | Added the Printing Framework. | |
990 | ||
991 | Switched back to using the wxWindows DLL for the pre-built Win32 | |
992 | version. The problem was needing to reinitialize static class info | |
993 | data after loading each extension module. | |
994 | ||
995 | Lots of little tweaks and additions to reflect changes to various | |
996 | wxWindows classes. | |
997 | ||
998 | Fixed a bug with attaching objects to tree items. Actually was a | |
999 | symptom of a larger problem with not obtaining the interpreter lock | |
1000 | when doing any Py_DECREFs. | |
1001 | ||
1002 | wxSizer and friends. Sizers are layout tools that manage a colection | |
1003 | of windows and sizers. Different types of sizers apply different | |
1004 | types of layout algorithms. You saw it here first! These classes are | |
1005 | not even in the wxWindows C++ library yet! | |
1006 | ||
1007 | ||
1008 | ||
1009 | What's new in 2.0b9 | |
1010 | ------------------- | |
1011 | Bug fix for ListCtrl in test4.py (Was a missing file... DSM!) | |
1012 | ||
1013 | Bug fix for occassional GPF on Win32 systems upon termination of a | |
1014 | wxPython application. | |
1015 | ||
1016 | Added wxListBox.GetSelections returning selections as a Tuple. | |
1017 | ||
1018 | Added a wxTreeItemData that is able to hold any Python object and be | |
1019 | associated with items in a wxTreeCtrl. Added test pytree.py to show | |
1020 | this feature off. | |
1021 | ||
1022 | Added wxSafeYield function. | |
1023 | ||
1024 | OpenGL Canvas can be optionally compiled in to wxPython. | |
1025 | ||
1026 | Awesome new Demo Framework for showing off wxPython and for learning | |
1027 | how it all works. | |
1028 | ||
1029 | The pre-built Win32 version is no longer distributing the wxWindows | |
1030 | DLL. It is statically linked with the wxWindows library instead. | |
1031 | ||
1032 | Added a couple missing items from the docs. | |
1033 | ||
1034 | Added wxImage, wxImageHandler, wxPNGHandler, wxJPEGHandler, | |
1035 | wxGIFHandler and wxBMPHandler. | |
1036 | ||
1037 | Added new methods to wxTextCtrl. | |
1038 | ||
1039 | Fixed some problems with how SWIG was wrapping some wxTreeCtrl | |
1040 | methods. | |
1041 | ||
1042 | ||
1043 | ||
1044 | What's new in 2.0b8 | |
1045 | ------------------- | |
1046 | Support for using Python threads in wxPython apps. | |
1047 | ||
1048 | Several missing methods from various classes. | |
1049 | ||
1050 | Various bug fixes. | |
1051 | ||
1052 | ||
1053 | ||
1054 | What's new in 2.0b7 | |
1055 | ------------------- | |
1056 | Added DLG_PNT and DLG_SZE convienience methods to wxWindow class. | |
1057 | ||
1058 | Added missing constructor and other methods for wxMenuItem. | |
1059 | ||
1060 | ||
1061 | ||
1062 | What's new in 2.0b6 | |
1063 | ------------------- | |
1064 | Just a quickie update to fix the self-installer to be compatible with | |
1065 | Python 1.5.2b2's Registry settings. | |
1066 | ||
1067 | ||
1068 | What's new in 2.0b5 | |
1069 | ------------------- | |
1070 | Well obviously the numbering scheme has changed. I did this to | |
1071 | reflect the fact that this truly is the second major revision of | |
1072 | wxPython, (well the third actually if you count the one I did for | |
1073 | wxWindows 1.68 and then threw away...) and also that it is associated | |
1074 | with the 2.0 version of wxWindows. | |
1075 | ||
1076 | I have finally started documenting wxPython. There are several pages | |
1077 | in the wxWindows documentation tree specifically about wxPython, and I | |
1078 | have added notes within the class references about where and how wxPython | |
1079 | diverges from wxWindows. | |
1080 | ||
1081 | Added wxWindow_FromHWND(hWnd) for wxMSW to construct a wxWindow from a | |
1082 | window handle. If you can get the window handle into the python code, | |
1083 | it should just work... More news on this later. | |
1084 | ||
1085 | Added wxImageList, wxToolTip. | |
1086 | ||
1087 | Re-enabled wxConfig.DeleteAll() since it is reportedly fixed for the | |
1088 | wxRegConfig class. | |
1089 | ||
1090 | As usual, some bug fixes, tweaks, etc. | |
1091 | ||
1092 | ||
1093 | ||
1094 | What's new in 0.5.3 | |
1095 | ------------------- | |
1096 | Added wxSashWindow, wxSashEvent, wxLayoutAlgorithm, etc. | |
1097 | ||
1098 | Various cleanup, tweaks, minor additions, etc. to maintain | |
1099 | compatibility with the current wxWindows. | |
1100 | ||
1101 | ||
1102 | ||
1103 | What's new in 0.5.0 | |
1104 | ------------------- | |
1105 | Changed the import semantics from "from wxPython import *" to "from | |
1106 | wxPython.wx import *" This is for people who are worried about | |
1107 | namespace pollution, they can use "from wxPython import wx" and then | |
1108 | prefix all the wxPython identifiers with "wx." | |
1109 | ||
1110 | Added wxTaskbarIcon for wxMSW. | |
1111 | ||
1112 | Made the events work for wxGrid. | |
1113 | ||
1114 | Added wxConfig. | |
1115 | ||
1116 | Added wxMiniFrame for wxGTK. | |
1117 | ||
1118 | Changed many of the args and return values that were pointers to gdi | |
1119 | objects to references to reflect changes in the wxWindows API. | |
1120 | ||
1121 | Other assorted fixes and additions. | |
1122 | ||
1123 | ||
1124 | ||
1125 | ||
1126 | What's new in 0.4.2 | |
1127 | ------------------- | |
1128 | ||
1129 | wxPython on wxGTK works!!! Both dynamic and static on Linux and | |
1130 | static on Solaris have been tested. Many thanks go to Harm | |
1131 | <H.v.d.Heijden@phys.tue.nl> for his astute detective work on tracking | |
1132 | down a nasty DECREF bug. Okay so I have to confess that it was just a | |
1133 | DSM (Dumb Stupid Mistake) on my part but it was nasty none the less | |
1134 | because the behavior was so different on different platforms. | |
1135 | ||
1136 | The dynamicly loaded module on Solaris is still segfaulting, so it | |
1137 | must have been a different issue all along... | |
1138 | ||
1139 | ||
1140 | ||
1141 | What's New in 0.4 | |
1142 | ----------------- | |
1143 | ||
1144 | 1. Worked on wxGTK compatibility. It is partially working. On a | |
1145 | Solaris/Sparc box wxPython is working but only when it is statically | |
1146 | linked with the Python interpreter. When built as a dyamically loaded | |
1147 | extension module, things start acting weirdly and it soon seg-faults. | |
1148 | And on Linux both the statically linked and the dynamically linked | |
1149 | version segfault shortly after starting up. | |
1150 | ||
1151 | 2. Added Toolbar, StatusBar and SplitterWindow classes. | |
1152 | ||
1153 | 3. Varioius bug fixes, enhancements, etc. | |
1154 | ||
