   1 0.1.8-6
   2 -------
   3
   4 Various fixes and improvements to get look-and-feel similar across
   5 different platforms.
   6
   7 0.1.8-5
   8 -------
   9
  10 Preferences for default "sizeritem" parameters for new panels and
  11 controls can be configured ("File">"Preferences...").
  12
  13 Implemented comment object for including simple one-line comments and
  14 comment directives as tree nodes. No validation is performed for a
  15 valid XML string so comments must not contain "-->". Comment directive
  16 is a special comment starting with '%' character, followed by a line
  17 of python code. It is executed using 'exec' when the resource file is
  18 opened. This is useful to import plugin modules containing custom
  19 handlers which are specific to the resource file, hovewer this is of
  20 course a security hole if you use foreign XRC files. A warning is
  21 displayed if the preference option 'ask' is selected (by default).
  22
  23 Added support for custom controls and plugin modules. Refer to this
  24 wxPythonWiki for the details:
  25         http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/XRCed#custom
  26
  27 Tool panel sections can be collapsed/expanded by clicking on the
  28 label of a tool group.
  29
  30 Some undo/redo and other fixes.
  31
  32 0.1.8-4
  33 -------
  34
  35 Fixes for wxMSW (notebook highlighting, control sizes, tree Unselect).
  36
  37 0.1.8-3
  38 -------
  39
  40 Notebook page highlighting fix. Highlight resizes when the window
  41 is resized. ParamUnit spin button detects event handler re-entry
  42 (wxGTK probably has a bug in wxSpinButton with repeated events).
  43
  44 0.1.8-2
  45 -------
  46
  47 Fix for dealing with empty 'growable' property, using MiniFrame
  48 for properties panel, the panel is restored together with the
  49 main window.
  50
  51 0.1.8-1
  52 -------
  53
  54 Fixed SetItemBold and editing 'growable' properties of
  55 wxFlexGridSizer.
  56
  57 0.1.8-0
  58 -------
  59
  60 New feature added from a patch submitted on sourceforge by botg:
  61 moving of tree items.
  62
  63 Bugs fixed:
  64 - ChecklistBox content editing;
  65 - Window styles more in sync with the docs;
  66 - Replacing items;
  67 - Reference property page created correctly (every property is
  68   optional).
  69
  70 0.1.7-5
  71 -------
  72
  73 Fix for non-ascii characters support when using other encodings
  74 than utf-8 in 'content' property. Tested under unicode build.
  75
  76 0.1.7-4
  77 -------
  78
  79 Second fix for Copy/Paste (using expat.native_encoding property).
  80 Added cellpos,cellspan properties for Spacer in GridBag sizer.
  81
  82 0.1.7-3
  83 -------
  84
  85 Fix for Copy/Paste objects with international characters.
  86
  87 0.1.7-2
  88 -------
  89
  90 Fixed Cut command, added support for MenuBar inside Frame/Dialog.
  91
  92 0.1.7-1
  93 -------
  94
  95 Important update of Paste command code which was passing too much data
  96 thru clipboard using cPickle. Objects created while unpickling (from
  97 minidom) were clogging memory. Now using toxml() (why didn't I do it
  98 before - was I drunk or what? :) ).
  99
 100 0.1.7-0
 101 -------
 102
 103 Added new controls (Choicebook, Listbook, StatusBar, DatePicker), and
 104 completed style flags. Test window is opened for an available parent
 105 control if no specific view defined. Better handling of exceptions
 106 (highlighting does not 'stick' anymore). Tested on wxGTK 2.6.1.0.
 107
 108 0.1.6-7
 109 -------
 110
 111 Using system clipboard for Copy/Paste.
 112
 113 0.1.6-6
 114 -------
 115
 116 Improved some dialogs (window styles, growable cols). Changed the
 117 range for wxSpinCtrl min/max to all integers (default 0/100 is not
 118 always good).
 119
 120 0.1.6-5
 121 -------
 122
 123 Fixed testing for any element inside object tree.
 124
 125 0.1.6-4
 126 -------
 127
 128 Fixed replacing op for sizer children and spacer objects.
 129 UndoReplace is not yet implemented.
 130
 131 0.1.6-3
 132 -------
 133
 134 Fix for crash when opening new file with active tree selection.
 135 Replacing controls bug fixed.
 136
 137 0.1.6-2
 138 -------
 139
 140 wxMSW wxTreeCtrl behaviour is still different from wxGTK for
 141 wxTR_MULTIPLE, some fixes for this.
 142
 143 0.1.6-1
 144 -------
 145
 146 New (experimental ;) ) feature: support for "object_ref" tag, for
 147 creating references to named objects (see tn0014.txt). "reference..."
 148 menu command creates new object_ref node. Properties of the top-level
 149 object can be overriden, but overriding child controls is not working
 150 as expected (maybe a bug in wx).
 151
 152 0.1.5-3
 153 -------
 154
 155 xxxStdDialogButtonSizer pulldown menu with standard buttons.
 156
 157 Some fixes for selecting tools inside toolbar with test window open
 158 (whole toolbar is selected).
 159
 160 Toolbars can be added inside windows.
 161
 162 0.1.5-2
 163 -------
 164
 165 Using wx.GetDefaultPyEncoding/wx.SetDefaultPyEncoding for changing active encoding.
 166
 167 Fixed pasting siblings (Ctrl key pressed while pasting).
 168
 169 Dealed with ascii build (Python does not recognize 'ascii' as valid encoding).
 170 If encoding is not specified it is not written in XRC. Will add more
 171 customization in the future.
 172
 173 Changed to use SimpleTool instead or Toggle tool (does not work on Win32).
 174
 175 0.1.5-1
 176 -------
 177
 178 Added wxWizard, wxWizardPageSimple (only from pull-down menu).
 179
 180 Hide command for test window.
 181

 187 -------
 188
 189 Edit->Locate command (Ctrl-L) for quick selection of items.
 190 Works with event-handling controls (buttons, text fields) but
 191 not with labels/sizers.
 192
 193 Some improvements: relative paths for files supplied as command-
 194 line argument work correctly, notebook panels are highlighted
 195 better.
 196
 197 0.1.2-1
 198 _______

 238 0.1.1-1
 239 -------
 240
 241 Changed internationalization support. '-i' option removed, default
 242 encoding is used (should be defined in sitecustomize.py, or 'ascii' by
 243 default). When XRC file is opened with encoding specified,
 244 translations are not used.
 245
 246 0.1.1
 247 -----
 248
 249 Replace command added (not quite finished yet).
 250
 251 0.1.0
 252 -----
 253
 254 Finally implemented tools panel for almost all controls (except
 255 wxHtmlWindow, wxCalendarCtrl and wxGenericDirCtrl - they are too
 256 rarely used).
 257
 258 Changed some sizes in panel to better work with different fonts.
 259
 260 Fixed double-refreshing after Ctrl+R.
 261

 267
 268 Added dialog unit support.

 298
 299 0.0.9-1

 306
 307 Support for toolbars inside panels and frames.
 308

 320 -------
 321
 322 Using WX_2_4_BRANCH.

 324 Added new controls: wxSpinCtrl, wxGenericDirCtrl, unknown (custom
 325 control), improved wxXRC format suppor (menu styles, etc.).
 326
 327 Some I18N support: parsing "encoding" attribute in XML header, later
 328 it can be modified in "properties" panel for "XML tree".
 329
 330 UNIX note: currently XML writing for non-ascii chars works only if
 331 sys.getdefaultencoding() returns good value. To do this, one has to
 332 put following lines to "sitecustomize.py" file:
 333
 334 # Start code segment
 335 import sys
 336 sys.setdefaultencoding('iso-8859-1')    # or whatever
 337 # End code segment

 357 wxWin):
 358
 359 contrib/src/xrc/xmlrsall.cpp
 360 45,46c45,46
 361 <     AddHandler(new wxListCtrlXmlHandler);
 362 < #if CHECKLISTBOX
 363 ---
 364 >     AddHandler(new wxListCtrlXmlHandler);
