CHANGES.txt for wxPython
=====================================================================

2.5.1.x
-------

(See also the MigrationGuide.txt file for details about some of the
big changes that have happened in this release and how you should
adapt your code.)

Many, many little fixes, changes and additions done as part of the move
to wxWindows 2.5 that I have forgotten about.

Added wxMirrorDC.

Added wxIconLocation

Added Python wrappers for the new wxVScrolledWindow, wxVListBox, and
wxHtmlListBox classes.

Added wrappers for wxBookCtrl and wxListbook.  wxNotebook now derives
from wxBookCtrl.

Added Gordon Williams' PyPlot module to the library, available as the
wx.lib.plot module.

I made a small but important change in the code that aquires the
Python Global Interpreter Lock to try and prevent deadlocks that can
happen when there are nested attempts to aquire the GIL.

The RPMs will now install menu items on Mandrake in
Applications/Development/Tools for PyCrust, XRCed, etc.  They are also
installing icons and ``*.desktop`` items in the generic KDE and GNOME
locations, but I don't know yet if they are resulting in menu items on
non-Mandrake systems.  (It didn't automatically do it on my RH-9 build
box but I didn't chase it very far...)  If you have ideas for how to
improve the .spec file to work better and/or on more distros please
send me a patch.

The RPMs are now built on a RH-9 box, and I have tested installing
them also on my main Mandrake 9.2 box.

There are some big changes in the OS X disk image.  The actual
Installer package now *only* installs the wxMac dynlibs, wxPython
extension modules and pacakges, and also the command-line tool
scripts. The remaining items (demo, samples, and application bundles
for the Demo, PyCrust and XRCed) are now top-level items in the disk
image (.dmg file) that users can just drag and drop to wherever they
want to put them.

The wxWave class has been renamed to wxSound, and now has a slightly
different API.
