1 CHANGES.txt for wxPython
3 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
7 Removed initial startup dependency on the OpenGL DLLs so only the
8 glcanvasc.pyd depends on them.
10 Changed wxFont, wxPen, wxBrush to not implicitly use the
11 wxThe[Font|Pen|Brush]List behind the scenes, but to use normal ctor
14 Exposed the wxThe[Font|Pen|Brush]List to wxPython.
16 Also added wxTheColourDatabase and added a library module (in the
17 wxPython.lib.colourdb module) to load LOTS more colour names into the
20 Added wxWakeUpMainThread, wxMutexGuiEnter, wxMutexGuiLeave,
21 wxMutexGuiLocker and wxThread_IsMain to assist with dealing with GUI
22 access from non-GUI threads.
24 wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow is now (more) thread safe if non-GUI threads
25 use print, sys.stdout.write, etc.
27 Added CreateTextSizer and CreateButtonSizer to wxDialog
29 Added wxPython/lib/infoframe.py from Chris Fama. It contains a class
30 that can be used in place of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow.
32 Added colourselect.py, imagebrowser.py and an updated calendar.py to
33 wxPython/lib from Lorne White.
35 Added patch to wxPoint_LIST_helper from Tim Hochberg that should make
36 it gobs faster in certain situations.
38 Added tools that will take an image file in a wx supported format and
39 convert it to data embedded in a Python source file. The image is
40 converted to XPM format (with its transparency mask intact, if there
41 is one) which is essentially a list of strings containing info about
42 each pixel. It is then pickled and optionally compressed and written
43 to a Python source file along with functions to convert it to either a
44 wxBitmap or a wxImage. See wxPython/demo/images.py for examples, and
45 wxPython/Tools/img2py.py for the implementation.
47 Fixed wxStyledTextCtrl to be much faster on wxGTK. There was some
48 experimental code that got left in place that ended up causing way too
51 A couple more hacks in my_distutils.py so wxPython can be built with
52 the distutils that comes with Python 2.1.
54 Added a ton of missing methods for wxPrintData.
56 Switched to InnoSetup for MSW distributions.
60 Fixed bug that prevented wxTreeCtrl.OnCompareItems from being called.
68 No changes happened in the Python wrappers for this release, only
69 changes and fixes in the wxWindows library.
76 New typemaps for wxString when compiling for Python 2.0 and beyond
77 that allow Unicode objects to be passed as well as String objects. If
78 a Unicode object is passed PyString_AsStringAndSize is used to convert
79 it to a wxString using the default encoding.
81 Fixed the generic buttons so tool tips work for them.
83 Fixed a bug in the demo's tree control.
85 Added a listbox to the listbox demo that shows how to find items with
86 a matching prefix as keys are typed.
88 Added code to the wxListCtrl demo to show how to get text from a
89 column in report mode.
91 Added code to the toolbar demo to clear the long help from the status
96 Fixed wxTimer so it can be used as described in the docs, either with
97 a Notify method in a subclass, or sending an event to a wxEvtHandler
98 object, (usually a window.)
100 Added wxNotifyEvent.Allow()
102 Fixed GOBS of reference leaks.
104 Massive code changes and cleanup to allow wxPython to be split into
105 multiple extension modules again. A Python CObject is used to allow
106 the "export" of SWIG functions and other common helper functions from
107 the wxc module to other modules, even if they are in separate shared
108 libraries. Should also be usable from 3rd party code, just include
109 wxPython/src/export.h
111 Changed the default setup so the following are built as separate
112 extension modules: calendar, glcanvas, grid, html, ogl, stc, and
113 utils. Will probably add more later.
115 Changed the wxPrinterDC to use the new constructor taking a
116 wxPrintData object. The old ctor is still there using the
119 Added wxPython.lib.anchors.py from Riaan Booysen. It contains a class
120 that implements Delphi's Anchors with wxLayoutConstraints.
122 Added wxPython.lib.fancytext from Timothy Hochberg.
124 Changed the GenericButtons to send their event in idle time, so the
125 mouse won't be captured when the event handler is called.
127 Added wxPython.lib.rpcMixin from Greg Landrum, although it's not
128 integrated with the demo yet. It allows a wxPython GUI to be an
136 Significantly changed how the wxStyledtextCtrl code that wraps
137 Scintilla is implemented. Most of it is now automatically generated
138 from an interface definition file provided by Scintilla. This means
139 that it will be much easier to stay in sync with new Scintilla
140 releases, but also means that some of the method and identifier names
141 have changed. See wxPython/demo/data/stc.h for a copy of the C++
142 interface from which the Python interface is generated. There is now
143 some inline documentation in that file that should really help explain
146 I am now using the Python Distutils to build wxPython and to make some
147 of the distribution files. (See http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/)
148 This means no more messing with my kludgy build.py/Makefile hack,
149 builds will be more consistent with other Python extensions that also
150 use Distutils, and will hopefully make wxPython easier to build for
151 platforms where there have been troubles before. If you are building
152 wxPython for Python 1.5.2 or for 1.6, then you will need to get and
153 install version 1.0 of Distutils from the website above. If you are
154 using Python 2.0 then you already have it.
156 Added wxInputStream and the wxFileSystem family of classes,
157 contributed by Joerg Baumann.
159 Added wxProcess and support for it to wxExecute. wxProcess lets you
160 get notified when an asyncronous child process terminates, and also to
161 get input/output streams for the child process's stdout, stderr and
164 Removed the old python sizers.
166 Added __add__, __sub__ and __cmp__ (equality check only) for wxPoint
169 Changed the build to make one big extension module instead of one for
170 the core and each contrib. This allowed me to do away with the
171 libwxPyHelpers.so on unix systems.
173 Lots of little fixes here and there.
175 Some hacks on wxGTK to try and make the AutoComplete listbox in the
176 wxStyledTextCtrl to behave better. It's still not as nice as on
177 wxMSW, but at least it's a bit more usable now.
185 Various tweaks, fixes, missing methods, etc.
187 Added example use of wxTaskBarIcon to the demo.
194 Added wxLog and friends.
196 Added wxFrame.ShowFullScreen for MSW.
198 Added PyShellWindow to the wxPython.lib package.
205 Added an attribute named labelDelta to the generic buttons that
206 specifies how far to offset the label when the button is in the
209 Added wxTipProvider and friends. See the demo for an example.
211 wxGrid can now change the cell highlight colour.
215 Fixed printing on wxGTK.
217 Added wxDateTime, wxTimeSpan, and wxDateSpan to wxPython.utils.
219 Added wxCalendarCtrl.
221 WARNING: A while back I asked what should be done about the Magic
222 Method Names. (Methods that are automatically turned into event
223 handlers by virtue of their name.) The consensus was that it is more
224 confusing to have them than to try and expand them to have greater
225 coverage. I am finally getting around to removing the code that
226 generates the event binding. This means that if you are using any of
227 the following method names without a EVT_* call that you need to
228 modify your code to add the EVT_* to hook the event to the method.
250 Fixed wxTreeCtrl.HitTest to return both the tree item as well as the
251 flags that clairify where the click was in relation to the item.
253 Fixed thread state problem in wxTreeCtrl.GetBoundingBox and
256 Fixed some problems in OGL. Also wxShape.SetClientData and
257 .GetClientData can now deal with Python objects.
259 Added wxListCtrl.SortItems and changed the demo to show how to use it.
261 Plugged a memory leak.
263 Wrapped the new wxGrid and friends. The old wxGrid class is no longer
264 available. There are some incompatibilities, and unfortunately the
265 new classes are not documented yet, (however the methods are more
266 consistent with each other now so you may be able to guess pretty
269 Updated filebrowsebutton.py and calendar.py with changes from their
270 authors. There is now a FileBrowseButtonWithHistory class (what a
271 mouthful!) and wxCalendar has printing support.
273 Added ActiveXWrapper to the library, and some good demos of it too.
274 It works great for embedding a COM (a.k.a OCX, a.k.a ActiveX) control
275 in a window and calling its methods. It actually creates a new class
276 on the fly that derives from wxWindow, the COM CoClass and others
277 needed to make it all work. The resulting class can be instantiated
278 just like wxWindow, used in sizers, etc. It also responds to all COM
279 method calls, properties, etc., and if the class or a mix-in has
280 matching method names, then the COM events will be propogated back to
283 Created a typemap that allows a string to be used for parameters
284 expecting a wxColour type. The string is either a colour name as
285 defined in the wxColourDatabase, or a colour spec of the form
286 "#RRGGBB". See the wxStyledTextCtrl demo for an example.
288 I almost forgot to mention the wxStyledTextCtrl! Yes, the
289 wxStyledTextCtrl is finally in wxPython!! (And the crowd goes
290 wild...) There's no documentaTion yet (the crowd boos and hisses...)
291 but I've included a very readable source file in the
292 wxPython/demo/data directory, a couple fairly good examples, and you
293 can also refer to the Scintilla documentaion at
294 http://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaDoc.html to help fill in the gaps
295 until the docs are done. (The croud murmers contentedly as the tool
296 provider smiles convincingly and removes his flame-proof suit.)
303 Skipped a version number to match what has been released for wxGTK.
305 Updated wxMVCTree and added a demo for it, also fixed layout on GTK
306 and some flicker problems.
308 Added a wrapper class for the Visualization ToolKit (or VTK) in the
309 wxPython.lib.vtk module. (http://www.kitware.com/)
311 Fixed wxTreeCtrl.SetItemImage and GetItemImage to recognise the new
314 Added wxPython.lib.spashscreen from Mike Fletcher.
316 Added wxPython.lib.filebrowsebutton also from Mike Fletcher.
318 Renamed wxTreeCtrl.GetParent to GetItemParent to avoid a name clash
319 with wxWindow.GetParent.
321 Added wxIntersectRect to compute the intersection of two wxRect's.
322 It is used like this:
324 intersect = wxIntersectRect(rect1, rect2)
326 If r1 and r2 don't intersect then None is returned, otherwise the
327 rectangle representing the intersection is returned.
329 Some bug fixes for Clipboard and Drag-n-Drop.
331 Rotated text!!! WooHoo! (See wxDC.DrawRotatedText())
333 Added a set of Generic Buttons to the library. These are simple
334 window classes that look and act like native buttons, but you can have
335 a bit more control over them. The bezel width can be set in addition
336 to colours, fonts, etc. There is a ToggleButton as well as Bitmap
337 versions too. They should also serve as a good example of how to
338 create your own classes derived from wxControl.
340 The C++ wxToolBar classes have been redone, and so have the wxPython
341 wrappers. There have been slight modifications to some of the methods
342 but shouldn't impact anybody too much. I took the opportunity to add
343 support for setting user data on each toolbar tool. The new AddTool
344 methods look like this:
348 pushedBitmap = wxNullBitmap,
351 shortHelpString = "",
354 def AddSimpleTool(ID,
356 shortHelpString = "",
361 There are also coresponding InsertTool and InsertSimpleTool methods
362 that additionally take an integer position as the first parameter.
364 Added a wrapper for the new PCX and TIFF ImageHandlers.
366 wxRect now simulates attributes named left, right, top and bottom.
368 Removed all non wx stuff from the glcanvas module since DA's PyOpenGL
369 is better and compatible with the wxGLCanvas. You can get it at
370 http://starship.python.net:9673/crew/da/Code/PyOpenGL.
372 Added some missing EVT_ functions.
374 Added Dirk Holtwic's editor classes to the wxPython.lib.editor
377 Changed all the "LIST" parameter names to "choices" to match the docs.
379 More fixes for the wxFloatBar, and it now works on wxGTK even better
380 than wxMSW! (The feat is accomplished by using the wxTB_DOCKABLE
381 style flag instead of trying to float it ourselves.)
388 Skipped a few version numbers so wxMSW, wxGTK and wxPython are all
391 wxImage.SetData now makes a copy of the image data before giving it to
392 wxImage. I mistakenly thought that wxImage would copy the data
395 Fixed wxMSW's notebook so the pages get their size set as they are
396 being added. This should remove the need for our
397 wxNotebook.ResizeChildren hack.
399 wxPanels now support AutoLayout, and wxNotebooks and wxSplitterWindows
400 no longer tell their children to Layout() themselves. This will
401 probably only effect you if you have a wxWindow with AutoLayout inside
402 a notebook or splitter. If so, either change it to a wxPanel or add
403 an EVT_SIZE handler that calls Layout().
405 Fixed deadlock problem that happened when using threads.
407 Added new HTML printing classes.
409 Added wxWindow.GetHandle
411 Apparently wxMouseEvent.Position has been depreciated in wxWindows as
412 it is no longer available by default. You can use GetPositionTuple
413 (returning a tuple with x,y) instead, or GetPosition (returning a
416 Added wxPostEvent function that allows events to be posted and then
417 processed later. This is a thread-safe way to interact with the GUI
418 thread from other threads.
420 Added Clipboard and Drag-and-Drop classes.
422 Added wxFontEnumerator.
424 Many updates to wxMenu, wxMenuBar.
426 wxPyEvent and wxPyCommandEvent derived classes now give you the actual
427 Python object in the event handler instead of a new shadow.
429 Added a Calendar widget from Lorne White to the library.
431 Made some fixes to the wxFloatbar. It still has some troubles on
434 Added an MVC tree control from Bryn Keller to the library.
441 This is a quick bug-fix release to take care of a few nasties that
442 crept in at the last minute before 2.1.4 was called done. No new
450 This release is NOT syncronized with a snapshot release of wxGTK or
451 wxMSW. For MSW this isn't much of a problem since you can get the
452 binaries from the web site. For other platforms you'll have to build
453 wxGTK from CVS. (See http://web.ukonline.co.uk/julian.smart/wxwin/cvs.htm)
454 To get the same set of sources from CVS that I used, checkout using
457 Now back to what's new...
459 Much more support for event-less callbacks and add-on modules.
461 Created add-on module with wxOGL classes.
463 Added wxWindow.GetChildren(). Be careful of this. It returns a *copy*
464 of the list of the window's children. While you are using the list if
465 anything changes in the real list (a child is deleted, etc.) then the
466 list you are holding will suddenly have window references to garbage
467 memory and your app will likely crash. But if you are careful it works
470 Added a bunch of new and missing methods to wxTreeCrtl. The
471 SortChildren method is now supported, but currently only for the
474 Added typemaps for wxSize, wxPoint, wxRealPoint, and wxRect that allow
475 either the actual objects or Python sequence values to be used. For
476 example, the following are equivallent:
478 win = wxWindow(parent, size = wxSize(100, 100))
479 win = wxWindow(parent, size = (100, 100))
481 Super-charged the wxHtml module. You can now create your own tag
482 handlers and also have access to the parser and cell classes. There
483 is a tag handler in the library at wxPython.lib.wxpTag that
484 understands the WXP tag and is able to place wxPython windows on HTML
485 pages. See the demo for an example.
487 A bunch of the methods of wxMenuBar were previously ifdef'd out for
488 wxGTK. Added them back in since the methods exist now.
490 Wrapped the wxHtmlHelpController and related classes.
492 Wrapped the C++ versions of wxSizer and friends. The Python-only
493 versions are still in the library, but depreciated. (You will get a
494 warning message if you try to use them, but the warning can be
495 disabled.) The usage of the C++ versions is slightly different, and
496 the functionality of wxBorderSizer is now part of wxBoxSizer. I have
497 added a few methods to wxSizer to try and make the transition as
498 smooth as possible, I combined all Add methods into a single method
499 that handles all cases, added an AddMany method, etc. One step I did
500 not take was to make the default value of flag in the Add method be
501 wxGROW. This would have made it more backward compatible, but less
502 portable to and from wxWin C++ code. Please see the docs and demo for
505 Added wxPyEvent and wxPyCommandEvent classes, derived from wxEvent and
506 wxCommandEvent. Each of them has SetPyData and GetPyData methods that
507 accept or return a single Python object. You can use these classes
508 directly or derive from them to create your own types of event objects
509 that can pass through the wxWindows event system without loosing their
510 Python parts (as long as they are stored with SetPyData.) Stay tuned
511 for more info and examples in future releases.
513 Added wxPython.lib.grids as an example of how to derive a new sizer
514 from the C++ sizers. In this module you will find wxGridSizer and
515 wxFlexGridSizer. wxGridSizer arrainges its items in a grid in which
516 all the widths and heights are the same. wxFlexgridSizer allows
517 different widths and heights, and you can also specify rows and/or
518 columns that are growable. See the demo for a couple examples for how
521 Added the wxValidator class, and created a class named wxPyValidator
522 that should be used for the base class of any Python validators. See
523 the demo for an example. Please note that you MUST implement a Clone
524 method in your validator classes because of the way some things work
525 in the underlying C++ library. I did not add wxTextValidator because
526 of some issues of how it transfers data to and from a wxString, which
527 in wxPython is automatically translated to and from Python strings, so
528 there would never be a concrete wxString that would hang around long
529 enough for the validator to do its job. On the other hand, it should
530 be real easy to duplicate the functionality of wxTextValidator in a
531 pure Python class derived from wxPyValidator.
533 I've finally added a feature that has been on my list for close to two
534 years! Ever wondered what that zero is for when you create your app
535 object? Well now you can leave it out or explicitly set it to a true
536 value. This value now controls what is to be done with sys.stdout and
537 sys.stderr. A false value leaves them alone, and a true value sets
538 them to an instance of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow. (On windows the
539 default is true, on unix platforms the default is false.) This class
540 creates a frame containing a wxTextCtrl as soon as anything is written
541 to sys.stdout or sys.stderr. If you close the window it will come
542 back again the next time something is written. (You can call
543 app.RestoreStdio to turn this off.) If you would rather that the stdio be
544 redirected to a file, you can provide a second parameter to your app
545 object's constructor that is a filename. If you want to use your own
546 class instead of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow you can either implement
547 RedirectStdio() in you app class or change the value of
548 wxApp.outputWindowClass like this:
551 outputWindowClass = MyClass
555 self.SetTopWindow(frame)
558 Please see the implementation of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow and wxApp in
559 wx.py for more details. A few words of caution: if you are running
560 your app in a debugger, changing sys.stdout and sys.stderr is likely
561 to really screw things up.
563 Added wxCaret. Unfortunately it's author has still not documented it
564 in the wxWindows docs...
566 Some new 3rd party contributions in wxPython.lib. PyShell, in
567 shell.py is an interesting implementaion of an interactive Python
568 shell in wxWindows. floatbar.py has a class derived from wxToolBar
569 that can sense mouse drags and then reparent itself into another
570 frame. Moving the new frame close to where it came from puts the tool
571 bar back into the original parent. (Unfortunately there is currently
572 a bug in wxGTK's wxFrame.SetToolBar so the FloatBar has some
581 This release is syncronized with release 2.1 snapshot 9 of wxWindows.
583 Switched to using SWIG from CVS (see http://swig.cs.uchicago.edu/cvs.html)
584 for some of the new features and such. Also they have encorporated my
585 patches so there is really no reason to stick with the current (very
586 old) release... This version of SWIG gives the following new
589 1. Keyword arguments. You no longer have to specify all the
590 parameters with defaults to a method just to specify a
591 non-default value on the end. You can now do this instead:
593 win = wxWindow(parent, -1, style = mystyle)
595 2. There is now an an equivalence between Python's None and C++'s
596 NULL. This means that any methods that might return NULL will
597 now return None and you can use none where wxWindows might be
598 expecting NULL. This makes things much more snake-ish.
601 There is a new build system based on a new Python program instead of
602 raw makefiles. Now wxPython builds are virtually the same on MSW or
603 Unix systems. See the end of this file for new build instructions and
604 see distrib/build.py for more details.
606 wxDC.Bilt now includes the useMask parameter, and has been split into
607 two different versions. wxDC.BlitXY is like what was there before and
608 takes raw coordinants and sizes, and the new wxDC.Blit is for the new
609 interface using wxPoints and a wxSize.
618 Added the missing wxWindow.GetUpdateRegion() method.
620 Made a new change in SWIG (update your patches everybody) that
621 provides a fix for global shadow objects that get an exception in
622 their __del__ when their extension module has already been deleted.
623 It was only a 1 line change in .../SWIG/Modules/pycpp.cxx at about
624 line 496 if you want to do it by hand.
626 It is now possible to run through MainLoop more than once in any one
627 process. The cleanup that used to happen as MainLoop completed (and
628 prevented it from running again) has been delayed until the wxc module
629 is being unloaded by Python.
631 I fixed a bunch of stuff in the C++ version of wxGrid so it wouldn't
632 make wxPython look bad.
634 wxWindow.PopupMenu() now takes a wxPoint instead of x,y. Added
635 wxWindow.PopupMenuXY to be consistent with some other methods.
637 Added wxGrid.SetEditInPlace and wxGrid.GetEditInPlace.
639 You can now provide your own app.MainLoop method. See
640 wxPython/demo/demoMainLoop.py for an example and some explaination.
642 Got the in-place-edit for the wxTreeCtrl fixed and added some demo
643 code to show how to use it.
645 Put the wxIcon constructor back in for GTK as it now has one that
648 Added wxGrid.GetCells
650 Added wxSystemSettings static methods as functions with names like
651 wxSystemSettings_GetSystemColour.
653 Removed wxPyMenu since using menu callbacks have been depreciated in
654 wxWindows. Use wxMenu and events instead.
656 Added alternate wxBitmap constructor (for MSW only) as
657 wxBitmapFromData(data, type, width, height, depth = 1)
659 Added a helper function named wxPyTypeCast that can convert shadow
660 objects of one type into shadow objects of another type. (Like doing
661 a down-cast.) See the implementation in wx.py for some docs.
663 Fixed wxImage GetData and SetData to properly use String objects for
666 Added access methods to wxGridEvent.
668 New Makefile/Setup files supporting multiple dynamic extension modules
671 Fixes for the wxGLCanvas demo to work around a strange bug in gtk.
673 SWIG support routines now compiled separately instead of being bundled
682 Fixed wxComboBox.SetSelection so that it actually sets the selected
683 item. (Actually just removed it from wxPython and let it default to
684 wxChoice.SetSelection which was already doing the right thing.)
686 Added the Printing Framework.
688 Switched back to using the wxWindows DLL for the pre-built Win32
689 version. The problem was needing to reinitialize static class info
690 data after loading each extension module.
692 Lots of little tweaks and additions to reflect changes to various
695 Fixed a bug with attaching objects to tree items. Actually was a
696 symptom of a larger problem with not obtaining the interpreter lock
697 when doing any Py_DECREFs.
699 wxSizer and friends. Sizers are layout tools that manage a colection
700 of windows and sizers. Different types of sizers apply different
701 types of layout algorithms. You saw it here first! These classes are
702 not even in the wxWindows C++ library yet!
708 Bug fix for ListCtrl in test4.py (Was a missing file... DSM!)
710 Bug fix for occassional GPF on Win32 systems upon termination of a
711 wxPython application.
713 Added wxListBox.GetSelections returning selections as a Tuple.
715 Added a wxTreeItemData that is able to hold any Python object and be
716 associated with items in a wxTreeCtrl. Added test pytree.py to show
719 Added wxSafeYield function.
721 OpenGL Canvas can be optionally compiled in to wxPython.
723 Awesome new Demo Framework for showing off wxPython and for learning
726 The pre-built Win32 version is no longer distributing the wxWindows
727 DLL. It is statically linked with the wxWindows library instead.
729 Added a couple missing items from the docs.
731 Added wxImage, wxImageHandler, wxPNGHandler, wxJPEGHandler,
732 wxGIFHandler and wxBMPHandler.
734 Added new methods to wxTextCtrl.
736 Fixed some problems with how SWIG was wrapping some wxTreeCtrl
743 Support for using Python threads in wxPython apps.
745 Several missing methods from various classes.
753 Added DLG_PNT and DLG_SZE convienience methods to wxWindow class.
755 Added missing constructor and other methods for wxMenuItem.
761 Just a quickie update to fix the self-installer to be compatible with
762 Python 1.5.2b2's Registry settings.
767 Well obviously the numbering scheme has changed. I did this to
768 reflect the fact that this truly is the second major revision of
769 wxPython, (well the third actually if you count the one I did for
770 wxWindows 1.68 and then threw away...) and also that it is associated
771 with the 2.0 version of wxWindows.
773 I have finally started documenting wxPython. There are several pages
774 in the wxWindows documentation tree specifically about wxPython, and I
775 have added notes within the class references about where and how wxPython
776 diverges from wxWindows.
778 Added wxWindow_FromHWND(hWnd) for wxMSW to construct a wxWindow from a
779 window handle. If you can get the window handle into the python code,
780 it should just work... More news on this later.
782 Added wxImageList, wxToolTip.
784 Re-enabled wxConfig.DeleteAll() since it is reportedly fixed for the
787 As usual, some bug fixes, tweaks, etc.
793 Added wxSashWindow, wxSashEvent, wxLayoutAlgorithm, etc.
795 Various cleanup, tweaks, minor additions, etc. to maintain
796 compatibility with the current wxWindows.
802 Changed the import semantics from "from wxPython import *" to "from
803 wxPython.wx import *" This is for people who are worried about
804 namespace pollution, they can use "from wxPython import wx" and then
805 prefix all the wxPython identifiers with "wx."
807 Added wxTaskbarIcon for wxMSW.
809 Made the events work for wxGrid.
813 Added wxMiniFrame for wxGTK.
815 Changed many of the args and return values that were pointers to gdi
816 objects to references to reflect changes in the wxWindows API.
818 Other assorted fixes and additions.
826 wxPython on wxGTK works!!! Both dynamic and static on Linux and
827 static on Solaris have been tested. Many thanks go to Harm
828 <H.v.d.Heijden@phys.tue.nl> for his astute detective work on tracking
829 down a nasty DECREF bug. Okay so I have to confess that it was just a
830 DSM (Dumb Stupid Mistake) on my part but it was nasty none the less
831 because the behavior was so different on different platforms.
833 The dynamicly loaded module on Solaris is still segfaulting, so it
834 must have been a different issue all along...
841 1. Worked on wxGTK compatibility. It is partially working. On a
842 Solaris/Sparc box wxPython is working but only when it is statically
843 linked with the Python interpreter. When built as a dyamically loaded
844 extension module, things start acting weirdly and it soon seg-faults.
845 And on Linux both the statically linked and the dynamically linked
846 version segfault shortly after starting up.
848 2. Added Toolbar, StatusBar and SplitterWindow classes.
850 3. Varioius bug fixes, enhancements, etc.
