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

2.5.1.1
-------

(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.)

The wxWindows project and library is now known as wxWidgets.  Please
see http://www.wxwindows.org/name.htm for more details.  This won't
really affect wxPython all that much, other than the fact that the
wxwindows.org domain name will be changing to wxwidgets.org, so mail
list, CVS, and etc. addresses will be changing.  We're going to try
and smooth the transition as much as possible, but I wanted you all to
be aware of this change if you run into any issues.


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

Added wxMirrorDC.

Added wxIconLocation

Added Python wrappers and demos 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 Linux in
Applications/Development/Tools for PyCrust, XRCed, etc.  The RPMs 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 fairly generic 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 Python 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.
