1 CHANGES.txt for wxPython
3 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
8 Removed initial startup dependency on the OpenGL DLLs so only the
9 glcanvasc.pyd depends on them, (on wxMSW.)
11 Changed wxFont, wxPen, wxBrush to not implicitly use the
12 wxThe[Font|Pen|Brush]List objects behind the scenes, but to use normal
15 Exposed the wxThe[Font|Pen|Brush]List to wxPython.
17 Also added wxTheColourDatabase and added a library module (in the
18 wxPython.lib.colourdb module) to load LOTS more colour names into the
21 Added wxWakeUpMainThread, wxMutexGuiEnter, wxMutexGuiLeave,
22 wxMutexGuiLocker and wxThread_IsMain to assist with dealing with GUI
23 access from non-GUI threads.
25 wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow is now (more) thread safe if non-GUI threads
26 use print, sys.stdout.write, etc.
28 Added CreateTextSizer and CreateButtonSizer to wxDialog
30 Added wxPython/lib/infoframe.py from Chris Fama. It contains a class
31 that can be used in place of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow.
33 Added colourselect.py, imagebrowser.py and an updated calendar.py to
34 wxPython/lib from Lorne White.
36 Added patch to wxPoint_LIST_helper from Tim Hochberg that should make
37 it gobs faster in certain situations.
39 Added tools that will take an image file in a wx supported format and
40 convert it to data embedded in a Python source file. The image is
41 converted to XPM format which is essentially a list of strings
42 containing info about each pixel. The image's transparency mask is
43 included, if there is one, or a mask can be added if a mask colour is
44 specified on the command line. It is then pickled and optionally
45 compressed and written to a Python source file along with functions to
46 convert it to either a wxBitmap or a wxImage. See
47 wxPython/demo/images.py for examples, and wxPython/Tools/img2py.py for
50 Fixed wxStyledTextCtrl to be much faster on wxGTK. There was some
51 experimental code that got left in place that ended up causing way too
54 A couple more hacks in my_distutils.py so wxPython can be built with
55 the distutils that comes with Python 2.1.
57 Added a ton of missing methods for wxPrintData.
59 Switched to InnoSetup for MSW distributions.
63 Fixed bug that prevented wxTreeCtrl.OnCompareItems from being called.
65 Added some methods to wxGrid:
66 GetCellHighlightPenWidth
67 GetCellHighlightROPenWidth
68 SetCellHighlightPenWidth
69 SetCellHighlightROPenWidth
73 GetGridCornerLabelWindow
75 Added wxGetClientDisplayRect which on wxMSW returns a wxRect
76 representing the area on screen not occupied by the taskbar and such.
77 On other platforms it is equivallent to wxGetDisplaySize.
80 ***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---
81 Implemented the first phase of OOR (Original Object Return). See
82 the text in the demo for more details of what this means, but in a
83 nutshell methods such as wxWindow.GetParent or FindWindowById will
84 now return a shadow object of the proper type if it can. By
85 "proper type" I mean that if the wxWindow pointer returned from
86 FindWindowById really points to a wxButton then the Python object
87 constructed will be of a wxButtonPtr class instead of wxWindowPtr
88 as before. This should reduce or eliminiate the need for
89 wxPyTypeCast. (Woo Hoo!) The objects returned are still not the
90 original Python object, but that is the next step. (Although it
91 will probably only work on Python 2.1 and beyond because it will
94 This first phase of the OOR plan is fairly significant and has
95 required a lot of changes all over wxPython, most of which should
96 be transparent to you, however I'm not 100% sure that it didn't
97 introduce any new bugs that are hiding somewhere and didn't get
98 stomped on during my testing. So please be sure to test everything
99 thoroughly when you install this version and be sure to report any
100 object-type related oddities to me.
101 ***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---
103 There is now a wxObject class that most other classes derive from like
104 in C++, but the methods provided don't really match but are wxPython
105 specific. It could have been added long ago but OOR required it.
107 Finally added wxPyLineShape.GetLineControlPoints, which has been on my
108 list for a while. The above OOR modification made this easier.
110 Fixed the __cmp__ methods for wxPoiunt and others.
120 No changes happened in the Python wrappers for this release, only
121 changes and fixes in the wxWindows library.
128 New typemaps for wxString when compiling for Python 2.0 and beyond
129 that allow Unicode objects to be passed as well as String objects. If
130 a Unicode object is passed PyString_AsStringAndSize is used to convert
131 it to a wxString using the default encoding.
133 Fixed the generic buttons so tool tips work for them.
135 Fixed a bug in the demo's tree control.
137 Added a listbox to the listbox demo that shows how to find items with
138 a matching prefix as keys are typed.
140 Added code to the wxListCtrl demo to show how to get text from a
141 column in report mode.
143 Added code to the toolbar demo to clear the long help from the status
148 Fixed wxTimer so it can be used as described in the docs, either with
149 a Notify method in a subclass, or sending an event to a wxEvtHandler
150 object, (usually a window.)
152 Added wxNotifyEvent.Allow()
154 Fixed GOBS of reference leaks.
156 Massive code changes and cleanup to allow wxPython to be split into
157 multiple extension modules again. A Python CObject is used to allow
158 the "export" of SWIG functions and other common helper functions from
159 the wxc module to other modules, even if they are in separate shared
160 libraries. Should also be usable from 3rd party code, just include
161 wxPython/src/export.h
163 Changed the default setup so the following are built as separate
164 extension modules: calendar, glcanvas, grid, html, ogl, stc, and
165 utils. Will probably add more later.
167 Changed the wxPrinterDC to use the new constructor taking a
168 wxPrintData object. The old ctor is still there using the
171 Added wxPython.lib.anchors.py from Riaan Booysen. It contains a class
172 that implements Delphi's Anchors with wxLayoutConstraints.
174 Added wxPython.lib.fancytext from Timothy Hochberg.
176 Changed the GenericButtons to send their event in idle time, so the
177 mouse won't be captured when the event handler is called.
179 Added wxPython.lib.rpcMixin from Greg Landrum, although it's not
180 integrated with the demo yet. It allows a wxPython GUI to be an
188 Significantly changed how the wxStyledtextCtrl code that wraps
189 Scintilla is implemented. Most of it is now automatically generated
190 from an interface definition file provided by Scintilla. This means
191 that it will be much easier to stay in sync with new Scintilla
192 releases, but also means that some of the method and identifier names
193 have changed. See wxPython/demo/data/stc.h for a copy of the C++
194 interface from which the Python interface is generated. There is now
195 some inline documentation in that file that should really help explain
198 I am now using the Python Distutils to build wxPython and to make some
199 of the distribution files. (See http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/)
200 This means no more messing with my kludgy build.py/Makefile hack,
201 builds will be more consistent with other Python extensions that also
202 use Distutils, and will hopefully make wxPython easier to build for
203 platforms where there have been troubles before. If you are building
204 wxPython for Python 1.5.2 or for 1.6, then you will need to get and
205 install version 1.0 of Distutils from the website above. If you are
206 using Python 2.0 then you already have it.
208 Added wxInputStream and the wxFileSystem family of classes,
209 contributed by Joerg Baumann.
211 Added wxProcess and support for it to wxExecute. wxProcess lets you
212 get notified when an asyncronous child process terminates, and also to
213 get input/output streams for the child process's stdout, stderr and
216 Removed the old python sizers.
218 Added __add__, __sub__ and __cmp__ (equality check only) for wxPoint
221 Changed the build to make one big extension module instead of one for
222 the core and each contrib. This allowed me to do away with the
223 libwxPyHelpers.so on unix systems.
225 Lots of little fixes here and there.
227 Some hacks on wxGTK to try and make the AutoComplete listbox in the
228 wxStyledTextCtrl to behave better. It's still not as nice as on
229 wxMSW, but at least it's a bit more usable now.
237 Various tweaks, fixes, missing methods, etc.
239 Added example use of wxTaskBarIcon to the demo.
246 Added wxLog and friends.
248 Added wxFrame.ShowFullScreen for MSW.
250 Added PyShellWindow to the wxPython.lib package.
257 Added an attribute named labelDelta to the generic buttons that
258 specifies how far to offset the label when the button is in the
261 Added wxTipProvider and friends. See the demo for an example.
263 wxGrid can now change the cell highlight colour.
267 Fixed printing on wxGTK.
269 Added wxDateTime, wxTimeSpan, and wxDateSpan to wxPython.utils.
271 Added wxCalendarCtrl.
273 WARNING: A while back I asked what should be done about the Magic
274 Method Names. (Methods that are automatically turned into event
275 handlers by virtue of their name.) The consensus was that it is more
276 confusing to have them than to try and expand them to have greater
277 coverage. I am finally getting around to removing the code that
278 generates the event binding. This means that if you are using any of
279 the following method names without a EVT_* call that you need to
280 modify your code to add the EVT_* to hook the event to the method.
302 Fixed wxTreeCtrl.HitTest to return both the tree item as well as the
303 flags that clairify where the click was in relation to the item.
305 Fixed thread state problem in wxTreeCtrl.GetBoundingBox and
308 Fixed some problems in OGL. Also wxShape.SetClientData and
309 .GetClientData can now deal with Python objects.
311 Added wxListCtrl.SortItems and changed the demo to show how to use it.
313 Plugged a memory leak.
315 Wrapped the new wxGrid and friends. The old wxGrid class is no longer
316 available. There are some incompatibilities, and unfortunately the
317 new classes are not documented yet, (however the methods are more
318 consistent with each other now so you may be able to guess pretty
321 Updated filebrowsebutton.py and calendar.py with changes from their
322 authors. There is now a FileBrowseButtonWithHistory class (what a
323 mouthful!) and wxCalendar has printing support.
325 Added ActiveXWrapper to the library, and some good demos of it too.
326 It works great for embedding a COM (a.k.a OCX, a.k.a ActiveX) control
327 in a window and calling its methods. It actually creates a new class
328 on the fly that derives from wxWindow, the COM CoClass and others
329 needed to make it all work. The resulting class can be instantiated
330 just like wxWindow, used in sizers, etc. It also responds to all COM
331 method calls, properties, etc., and if the class or a mix-in has
332 matching method names, then the COM events will be propogated back to
335 Created a typemap that allows a string to be used for parameters
336 expecting a wxColour type. The string is either a colour name as
337 defined in the wxColourDatabase, or a colour spec of the form
338 "#RRGGBB". See the wxStyledTextCtrl demo for an example.
340 I almost forgot to mention the wxStyledTextCtrl! Yes, the
341 wxStyledTextCtrl is finally in wxPython!! (And the crowd goes
342 wild...) There's no documentaTion yet (the crowd boos and hisses...)
343 but I've included a very readable source file in the
344 wxPython/demo/data directory, a couple fairly good examples, and you
345 can also refer to the Scintilla documentaion at
346 http://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaDoc.html to help fill in the gaps
347 until the docs are done. (The croud murmers contentedly as the tool
348 provider smiles convincingly and removes his flame-proof suit.)
355 Skipped a version number to match what has been released for wxGTK.
357 Updated wxMVCTree and added a demo for it, also fixed layout on GTK
358 and some flicker problems.
360 Added a wrapper class for the Visualization ToolKit (or VTK) in the
361 wxPython.lib.vtk module. (http://www.kitware.com/)
363 Fixed wxTreeCtrl.SetItemImage and GetItemImage to recognise the new
366 Added wxPython.lib.spashscreen from Mike Fletcher.
368 Added wxPython.lib.filebrowsebutton also from Mike Fletcher.
370 Renamed wxTreeCtrl.GetParent to GetItemParent to avoid a name clash
371 with wxWindow.GetParent.
373 Added wxIntersectRect to compute the intersection of two wxRect's.
374 It is used like this:
376 intersect = wxIntersectRect(rect1, rect2)
378 If r1 and r2 don't intersect then None is returned, otherwise the
379 rectangle representing the intersection is returned.
381 Some bug fixes for Clipboard and Drag-n-Drop.
383 Rotated text!!! WooHoo! (See wxDC.DrawRotatedText())
385 Added a set of Generic Buttons to the library. These are simple
386 window classes that look and act like native buttons, but you can have
387 a bit more control over them. The bezel width can be set in addition
388 to colours, fonts, etc. There is a ToggleButton as well as Bitmap
389 versions too. They should also serve as a good example of how to
390 create your own classes derived from wxControl.
392 The C++ wxToolBar classes have been redone, and so have the wxPython
393 wrappers. There have been slight modifications to some of the methods
394 but shouldn't impact anybody too much. I took the opportunity to add
395 support for setting user data on each toolbar tool. The new AddTool
396 methods look like this:
400 pushedBitmap = wxNullBitmap,
403 shortHelpString = "",
406 def AddSimpleTool(ID,
408 shortHelpString = "",
413 There are also coresponding InsertTool and InsertSimpleTool methods
414 that additionally take an integer position as the first parameter.
416 Added a wrapper for the new PCX and TIFF ImageHandlers.
418 wxRect now simulates attributes named left, right, top and bottom.
420 Removed all non wx stuff from the glcanvas module since DA's PyOpenGL
421 is better and compatible with the wxGLCanvas. You can get it at
422 http://starship.python.net:9673/crew/da/Code/PyOpenGL.
424 Added some missing EVT_ functions.
426 Added Dirk Holtwic's editor classes to the wxPython.lib.editor
429 Changed all the "LIST" parameter names to "choices" to match the docs.
431 More fixes for the wxFloatBar, and it now works on wxGTK even better
432 than wxMSW! (The feat is accomplished by using the wxTB_DOCKABLE
433 style flag instead of trying to float it ourselves.)
440 Skipped a few version numbers so wxMSW, wxGTK and wxPython are all
443 wxImage.SetData now makes a copy of the image data before giving it to
444 wxImage. I mistakenly thought that wxImage would copy the data
447 Fixed wxMSW's notebook so the pages get their size set as they are
448 being added. This should remove the need for our
449 wxNotebook.ResizeChildren hack.
451 wxPanels now support AutoLayout, and wxNotebooks and wxSplitterWindows
452 no longer tell their children to Layout() themselves. This will
453 probably only effect you if you have a wxWindow with AutoLayout inside
454 a notebook or splitter. If so, either change it to a wxPanel or add
455 an EVT_SIZE handler that calls Layout().
457 Fixed deadlock problem that happened when using threads.
459 Added new HTML printing classes.
461 Added wxWindow.GetHandle
463 Apparently wxMouseEvent.Position has been depreciated in wxWindows as
464 it is no longer available by default. You can use GetPositionTuple
465 (returning a tuple with x,y) instead, or GetPosition (returning a
468 Added wxPostEvent function that allows events to be posted and then
469 processed later. This is a thread-safe way to interact with the GUI
470 thread from other threads.
472 Added Clipboard and Drag-and-Drop classes.
474 Added wxFontEnumerator.
476 Many updates to wxMenu, wxMenuBar.
478 wxPyEvent and wxPyCommandEvent derived classes now give you the actual
479 Python object in the event handler instead of a new shadow.
481 Added a Calendar widget from Lorne White to the library.
483 Made some fixes to the wxFloatbar. It still has some troubles on
486 Added an MVC tree control from Bryn Keller to the library.
493 This is a quick bug-fix release to take care of a few nasties that
494 crept in at the last minute before 2.1.4 was called done. No new
502 This release is NOT syncronized with a snapshot release of wxGTK or
503 wxMSW. For MSW this isn't much of a problem since you can get the
504 binaries from the web site. For other platforms you'll have to build
505 wxGTK from CVS. (See http://web.ukonline.co.uk/julian.smart/wxwin/cvs.htm)
506 To get the same set of sources from CVS that I used, checkout using
509 Now back to what's new...
511 Much more support for event-less callbacks and add-on modules.
513 Created add-on module with wxOGL classes.
515 Added wxWindow.GetChildren(). Be careful of this. It returns a *copy*
516 of the list of the window's children. While you are using the list if
517 anything changes in the real list (a child is deleted, etc.) then the
518 list you are holding will suddenly have window references to garbage
519 memory and your app will likely crash. But if you are careful it works
522 Added a bunch of new and missing methods to wxTreeCrtl. The
523 SortChildren method is now supported, but currently only for the
526 Added typemaps for wxSize, wxPoint, wxRealPoint, and wxRect that allow
527 either the actual objects or Python sequence values to be used. For
528 example, the following are equivallent:
530 win = wxWindow(parent, size = wxSize(100, 100))
531 win = wxWindow(parent, size = (100, 100))
533 Super-charged the wxHtml module. You can now create your own tag
534 handlers and also have access to the parser and cell classes. There
535 is a tag handler in the library at wxPython.lib.wxpTag that
536 understands the WXP tag and is able to place wxPython windows on HTML
537 pages. See the demo for an example.
539 A bunch of the methods of wxMenuBar were previously ifdef'd out for
540 wxGTK. Added them back in since the methods exist now.
542 Wrapped the wxHtmlHelpController and related classes.
544 Wrapped the C++ versions of wxSizer and friends. The Python-only
545 versions are still in the library, but depreciated. (You will get a
546 warning message if you try to use them, but the warning can be
547 disabled.) The usage of the C++ versions is slightly different, and
548 the functionality of wxBorderSizer is now part of wxBoxSizer. I have
549 added a few methods to wxSizer to try and make the transition as
550 smooth as possible, I combined all Add methods into a single method
551 that handles all cases, added an AddMany method, etc. One step I did
552 not take was to make the default value of flag in the Add method be
553 wxGROW. This would have made it more backward compatible, but less
554 portable to and from wxWin C++ code. Please see the docs and demo for
557 Added wxPyEvent and wxPyCommandEvent classes, derived from wxEvent and
558 wxCommandEvent. Each of them has SetPyData and GetPyData methods that
559 accept or return a single Python object. You can use these classes
560 directly or derive from them to create your own types of event objects
561 that can pass through the wxWindows event system without loosing their
562 Python parts (as long as they are stored with SetPyData.) Stay tuned
563 for more info and examples in future releases.
565 Added wxPython.lib.grids as an example of how to derive a new sizer
566 from the C++ sizers. In this module you will find wxGridSizer and
567 wxFlexGridSizer. wxGridSizer arrainges its items in a grid in which
568 all the widths and heights are the same. wxFlexgridSizer allows
569 different widths and heights, and you can also specify rows and/or
570 columns that are growable. See the demo for a couple examples for how
573 Added the wxValidator class, and created a class named wxPyValidator
574 that should be used for the base class of any Python validators. See
575 the demo for an example. Please note that you MUST implement a Clone
576 method in your validator classes because of the way some things work
577 in the underlying C++ library. I did not add wxTextValidator because
578 of some issues of how it transfers data to and from a wxString, which
579 in wxPython is automatically translated to and from Python strings, so
580 there would never be a concrete wxString that would hang around long
581 enough for the validator to do its job. On the other hand, it should
582 be real easy to duplicate the functionality of wxTextValidator in a
583 pure Python class derived from wxPyValidator.
585 I've finally added a feature that has been on my list for close to two
586 years! Ever wondered what that zero is for when you create your app
587 object? Well now you can leave it out or explicitly set it to a true
588 value. This value now controls what is to be done with sys.stdout and
589 sys.stderr. A false value leaves them alone, and a true value sets
590 them to an instance of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow. (On windows the
591 default is true, on unix platforms the default is false.) This class
592 creates a frame containing a wxTextCtrl as soon as anything is written
593 to sys.stdout or sys.stderr. If you close the window it will come
594 back again the next time something is written. (You can call
595 app.RestoreStdio to turn this off.) If you would rather that the stdio be
596 redirected to a file, you can provide a second parameter to your app
597 object's constructor that is a filename. If you want to use your own
598 class instead of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow you can either implement
599 RedirectStdio() in you app class or change the value of
600 wxApp.outputWindowClass like this:
603 outputWindowClass = MyClass
607 self.SetTopWindow(frame)
610 Please see the implementation of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow and wxApp in
611 wx.py for more details. A few words of caution: if you are running
612 your app in a debugger, changing sys.stdout and sys.stderr is likely
613 to really screw things up.
615 Added wxCaret. Unfortunately it's author has still not documented it
616 in the wxWindows docs...
618 Some new 3rd party contributions in wxPython.lib. PyShell, in
619 shell.py is an interesting implementaion of an interactive Python
620 shell in wxWindows. floatbar.py has a class derived from wxToolBar
621 that can sense mouse drags and then reparent itself into another
622 frame. Moving the new frame close to where it came from puts the tool
623 bar back into the original parent. (Unfortunately there is currently
624 a bug in wxGTK's wxFrame.SetToolBar so the FloatBar has some
633 This release is syncronized with release 2.1 snapshot 9 of wxWindows.
635 Switched to using SWIG from CVS (see http://swig.cs.uchicago.edu/cvs.html)
636 for some of the new features and such. Also they have encorporated my
637 patches so there is really no reason to stick with the current (very
638 old) release... This version of SWIG gives the following new
641 1. Keyword arguments. You no longer have to specify all the
642 parameters with defaults to a method just to specify a
643 non-default value on the end. You can now do this instead:
645 win = wxWindow(parent, -1, style = mystyle)
647 2. There is now an an equivalence between Python's None and C++'s
648 NULL. This means that any methods that might return NULL will
649 now return None and you can use none where wxWindows might be
650 expecting NULL. This makes things much more snake-ish.
653 There is a new build system based on a new Python program instead of
654 raw makefiles. Now wxPython builds are virtually the same on MSW or
655 Unix systems. See the end of this file for new build instructions and
656 see distrib/build.py for more details.
658 wxDC.Bilt now includes the useMask parameter, and has been split into
659 two different versions. wxDC.BlitXY is like what was there before and
660 takes raw coordinants and sizes, and the new wxDC.Blit is for the new
661 interface using wxPoints and a wxSize.
670 Added the missing wxWindow.GetUpdateRegion() method.
672 Made a new change in SWIG (update your patches everybody) that
673 provides a fix for global shadow objects that get an exception in
674 their __del__ when their extension module has already been deleted.
675 It was only a 1 line change in .../SWIG/Modules/pycpp.cxx at about
676 line 496 if you want to do it by hand.
678 It is now possible to run through MainLoop more than once in any one
679 process. The cleanup that used to happen as MainLoop completed (and
680 prevented it from running again) has been delayed until the wxc module
681 is being unloaded by Python.
683 I fixed a bunch of stuff in the C++ version of wxGrid so it wouldn't
684 make wxPython look bad.
686 wxWindow.PopupMenu() now takes a wxPoint instead of x,y. Added
687 wxWindow.PopupMenuXY to be consistent with some other methods.
689 Added wxGrid.SetEditInPlace and wxGrid.GetEditInPlace.
691 You can now provide your own app.MainLoop method. See
692 wxPython/demo/demoMainLoop.py for an example and some explaination.
694 Got the in-place-edit for the wxTreeCtrl fixed and added some demo
695 code to show how to use it.
697 Put the wxIcon constructor back in for GTK as it now has one that
700 Added wxGrid.GetCells
702 Added wxSystemSettings static methods as functions with names like
703 wxSystemSettings_GetSystemColour.
705 Removed wxPyMenu since using menu callbacks have been depreciated in
706 wxWindows. Use wxMenu and events instead.
708 Added alternate wxBitmap constructor (for MSW only) as
709 wxBitmapFromData(data, type, width, height, depth = 1)
711 Added a helper function named wxPyTypeCast that can convert shadow
712 objects of one type into shadow objects of another type. (Like doing
713 a down-cast.) See the implementation in wx.py for some docs.
715 Fixed wxImage GetData and SetData to properly use String objects for
718 Added access methods to wxGridEvent.
720 New Makefile/Setup files supporting multiple dynamic extension modules
723 Fixes for the wxGLCanvas demo to work around a strange bug in gtk.
725 SWIG support routines now compiled separately instead of being bundled
734 Fixed wxComboBox.SetSelection so that it actually sets the selected
735 item. (Actually just removed it from wxPython and let it default to
736 wxChoice.SetSelection which was already doing the right thing.)
738 Added the Printing Framework.
740 Switched back to using the wxWindows DLL for the pre-built Win32
741 version. The problem was needing to reinitialize static class info
742 data after loading each extension module.
744 Lots of little tweaks and additions to reflect changes to various
747 Fixed a bug with attaching objects to tree items. Actually was a
748 symptom of a larger problem with not obtaining the interpreter lock
749 when doing any Py_DECREFs.
751 wxSizer and friends. Sizers are layout tools that manage a colection
752 of windows and sizers. Different types of sizers apply different
753 types of layout algorithms. You saw it here first! These classes are
754 not even in the wxWindows C++ library yet!
760 Bug fix for ListCtrl in test4.py (Was a missing file... DSM!)
762 Bug fix for occassional GPF on Win32 systems upon termination of a
763 wxPython application.
765 Added wxListBox.GetSelections returning selections as a Tuple.
767 Added a wxTreeItemData that is able to hold any Python object and be
768 associated with items in a wxTreeCtrl. Added test pytree.py to show
771 Added wxSafeYield function.
773 OpenGL Canvas can be optionally compiled in to wxPython.
775 Awesome new Demo Framework for showing off wxPython and for learning
778 The pre-built Win32 version is no longer distributing the wxWindows
779 DLL. It is statically linked with the wxWindows library instead.
781 Added a couple missing items from the docs.
783 Added wxImage, wxImageHandler, wxPNGHandler, wxJPEGHandler,
784 wxGIFHandler and wxBMPHandler.
786 Added new methods to wxTextCtrl.
788 Fixed some problems with how SWIG was wrapping some wxTreeCtrl
795 Support for using Python threads in wxPython apps.
797 Several missing methods from various classes.
805 Added DLG_PNT and DLG_SZE convienience methods to wxWindow class.
807 Added missing constructor and other methods for wxMenuItem.
813 Just a quickie update to fix the self-installer to be compatible with
814 Python 1.5.2b2's Registry settings.
819 Well obviously the numbering scheme has changed. I did this to
820 reflect the fact that this truly is the second major revision of
821 wxPython, (well the third actually if you count the one I did for
822 wxWindows 1.68 and then threw away...) and also that it is associated
823 with the 2.0 version of wxWindows.
825 I have finally started documenting wxPython. There are several pages
826 in the wxWindows documentation tree specifically about wxPython, and I
827 have added notes within the class references about where and how wxPython
828 diverges from wxWindows.
830 Added wxWindow_FromHWND(hWnd) for wxMSW to construct a wxWindow from a
831 window handle. If you can get the window handle into the python code,
832 it should just work... More news on this later.
834 Added wxImageList, wxToolTip.
836 Re-enabled wxConfig.DeleteAll() since it is reportedly fixed for the
839 As usual, some bug fixes, tweaks, etc.
845 Added wxSashWindow, wxSashEvent, wxLayoutAlgorithm, etc.
847 Various cleanup, tweaks, minor additions, etc. to maintain
848 compatibility with the current wxWindows.
854 Changed the import semantics from "from wxPython import *" to "from
855 wxPython.wx import *" This is for people who are worried about
856 namespace pollution, they can use "from wxPython import wx" and then
857 prefix all the wxPython identifiers with "wx."
859 Added wxTaskbarIcon for wxMSW.
861 Made the events work for wxGrid.
865 Added wxMiniFrame for wxGTK.
867 Changed many of the args and return values that were pointers to gdi
868 objects to references to reflect changes in the wxWindows API.
870 Other assorted fixes and additions.
878 wxPython on wxGTK works!!! Both dynamic and static on Linux and
879 static on Solaris have been tested. Many thanks go to Harm
880 <H.v.d.Heijden@phys.tue.nl> for his astute detective work on tracking
881 down a nasty DECREF bug. Okay so I have to confess that it was just a
882 DSM (Dumb Stupid Mistake) on my part but it was nasty none the less
883 because the behavior was so different on different platforms.
885 The dynamicly loaded module on Solaris is still segfaulting, so it
886 must have been a different issue all along...
893 1. Worked on wxGTK compatibility. It is partially working. On a
894 Solaris/Sparc box wxPython is working but only when it is statically
895 linked with the Python interpreter. When built as a dyamically loaded
896 extension module, things start acting weirdly and it soon seg-faults.
897 And on Linux both the statically linked and the dynamically linked
898 version segfault shortly after starting up.
900 2. Added Toolbar, StatusBar and SplitterWindow classes.
902 3. Varioius bug fixes, enhancements, etc.
