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 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 thread safe if non-GUI threads use
25 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.
44 No changes happened in the Python wrappers for this release, only
45 changes and fixes in the wxWindows library.
52 New typemaps for wxString when compiling for Python 2.0 and beyond
53 that allow Unicode objects to be passed as well as String objects. If
54 a Unicode object is passed PyString_AsStringAndSize is used to convert
55 it to a wxString using the default encoding.
57 Fixed the generic buttons so tool tips work for them.
59 Fixed a bug in the demo's tree control.
61 Added a listbox to the listbox demo that shows how to find items with
62 a matching prefix as keys are typed.
64 Added code to the wxListCtrl demo to show how to get text from a
65 column in report mode.
67 Added code to the toolbar demo to clear the long help from the status
72 Fixed wxTimer so it can be used as described in the docs, either with
73 a Notify method in a subclass, or sending an event to a wxEvtHandler
74 object, (usually a window.)
76 Added wxNotifyEvent.Allow()
78 Fixed GOBS of reference leaks.
80 Massive code changes and cleanup to allow wxPython to be split into
81 multiple extension modules again. A Python CObject is used to allow
82 the "export" of SWIG functions and other common helper functions from
83 the wxc module to other modules, even if they are in separate shared
84 libraries. Should also be usable from 3rd party code, just include
87 Changed the default setup so the following are built as separate
88 extension modules: calendar, glcanvas, grid, html, ogl, stc, and
89 utils. Will probably add more later.
91 Changed the wxPrinterDC to use the new constructor taking a
92 wxPrintData object. The old ctor is still there using the
95 Added wxPython.lib.anchors.py from Riaan Booysen. It contains a class
96 that implements Delphi's Anchors with wxLayoutConstraints.
98 Added wxPython.lib.fancytext from Timothy Hochberg.
100 Changed the GenericButtons to send their event in idle time, so the
101 mouse won't be captured when the event handler is called.
103 Added wxPython.lib.rpcMixin from Greg Landrum, although it's not
104 integrated with the demo yet. It allows a wxPython GUI to be an
112 Significantly changed how the wxStyledtextCtrl code that wraps
113 Scintilla is implemented. Most of it is now automatically generated
114 from an interface definition file provided by Scintilla. This means
115 that it will be much easier to stay in sync with new Scintilla
116 releases, but also means that some of the method and identifier names
117 have changed. See wxPython/demo/data/stc.h for a copy of the C++
118 interface from which the Python interface is generated. There is now
119 some inline documentation in that file that should really help explain
122 I am now using the Python Distutils to build wxPython and to make some
123 of the distribution files. (See http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/)
124 This means no more messing with my kludgy build.py/Makefile hack,
125 builds will be more consistent with other Python extensions that also
126 use Distutils, and will hopefully make wxPython easier to build for
127 platforms where there have been troubles before. If you are building
128 wxPython for Python 1.5.2 or for 1.6, then you will need to get and
129 install version 1.0 of Distutils from the website above. If you are
130 using Python 2.0 then you already have it.
132 Added wxInputStream and the wxFileSystem family of classes,
133 contributed by Joerg Baumann.
135 Added wxProcess and support for it to wxExecute. wxProcess lets you
136 get notified when an asyncronous child process terminates, and also to
137 get input/output streams for the child process's stdout, stderr and
140 Removed the old python sizers.
142 Added __add__, __sub__ and __cmp__ (equality check only) for wxPoint
145 Changed the build to make one big extension module instead of one for
146 the core and each contrib. This allowed me to do away with the
147 libwxPyHelpers.so on unix systems.
149 Lots of little fixes here and there.
151 Some hacks on wxGTK to try and make the AutoComplete listbox in the
152 wxStyledTextCtrl to behave better. It's still not as nice as on
153 wxMSW, but at least it's a bit more usable now.
161 Various tweaks, fixes, missing methods, etc.
163 Added example use of wxTaskBarIcon to the demo.
170 Added wxLog and friends.
172 Added wxFrame.ShowFullScreen for MSW.
174 Added PyShellWindow to the wxPython.lib package.
181 Added an attribute named labelDelta to the generic buttons that
182 specifies how far to offset the label when the button is in the
185 Added wxTipProvider and friends. See the demo for an example.
187 wxGrid can now change the cell highlight colour.
191 Fixed printing on wxGTK.
193 Added wxDateTime, wxTimeSpan, and wxDateSpan to wxPython.utils.
195 Added wxCalendarCtrl.
197 WARNING: A while back I asked what should be done about the Magic
198 Method Names. (Methods that are automatically turned into event
199 handlers by virtue of their name.) The consensus was that it is more
200 confusing to have them than to try and expand them to have greater
201 coverage. I am finally getting around to removing the code that
202 generates the event binding. This means that if you are using any of
203 the following method names without a EVT_* call that you need to
204 modify your code to add the EVT_* to hook the event to the method.
226 Fixed wxTreeCtrl.HitTest to return both the tree item as well as the
227 flags that clairify where the click was in relation to the item.
229 Fixed thread state problem in wxTreeCtrl.GetBoundingBox and
232 Fixed some problems in OGL. Also wxShape.SetClientData and
233 .GetClientData can now deal with Python objects.
235 Added wxListCtrl.SortItems and changed the demo to show how to use it.
237 Plugged a memory leak.
239 Wrapped the new wxGrid and friends. The old wxGrid class is no longer
240 available. There are some incompatibilities, and unfortunately the
241 new classes are not documented yet, (however the methods are more
242 consistent with each other now so you may be able to guess pretty
245 Updated filebrowsebutton.py and calendar.py with changes from their
246 authors. There is now a FileBrowseButtonWithHistory class (what a
247 mouthful!) and wxCalendar has printing support.
249 Added ActiveXWrapper to the library, and some good demos of it too.
250 It works great for embedding a COM (a.k.a OCX, a.k.a ActiveX) control
251 in a window and calling its methods. It actually creates a new class
252 on the fly that derives from wxWindow, the COM CoClass and others
253 needed to make it all work. The resulting class can be instantiated
254 just like wxWindow, used in sizers, etc. It also responds to all COM
255 method calls, properties, etc., and if the class or a mix-in has
256 matching method names, then the COM events will be propogated back to
259 Created a typemap that allows a string to be used for parameters
260 expecting a wxColour type. The string is either a colour name as
261 defined in the wxColourDatabase, or a colour spec of the form
262 "#RRGGBB". See the wxStyledTextCtrl demo for an example.
264 I almost forgot to mention the wxStyledTextCtrl! Yes, the
265 wxStyledTextCtrl is finally in wxPython!! (And the crowd goes
266 wild...) There's no documentaTion yet (the crowd boos and hisses...)
267 but I've included a very readable source file in the
268 wxPython/demo/data directory, a couple fairly good examples, and you
269 can also refer to the Scintilla documentaion at
270 http://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaDoc.html to help fill in the gaps
271 until the docs are done. (The croud murmers contentedly as the tool
272 provider smiles convincingly and removes his flame-proof suit.)
279 Skipped a version number to match what has been released for wxGTK.
281 Updated wxMVCTree and added a demo for it, also fixed layout on GTK
282 and some flicker problems.
284 Added a wrapper class for the Visualization ToolKit (or VTK) in the
285 wxPython.lib.vtk module. (http://www.kitware.com/)
287 Fixed wxTreeCtrl.SetItemImage and GetItemImage to recognise the new
290 Added wxPython.lib.spashscreen from Mike Fletcher.
292 Added wxPython.lib.filebrowsebutton also from Mike Fletcher.
294 Renamed wxTreeCtrl.GetParent to GetItemParent to avoid a name clash
295 with wxWindow.GetParent.
297 Added wxIntersectRect to compute the intersection of two wxRect's.
298 It is used like this:
300 intersect = wxIntersectRect(rect1, rect2)
302 If r1 and r2 don't intersect then None is returned, otherwise the
303 rectangle representing the intersection is returned.
305 Some bug fixes for Clipboard and Drag-n-Drop.
307 Rotated text!!! WooHoo! (See wxDC.DrawRotatedText())
309 Added a set of Generic Buttons to the library. These are simple
310 window classes that look and act like native buttons, but you can have
311 a bit more control over them. The bezel width can be set in addition
312 to colours, fonts, etc. There is a ToggleButton as well as Bitmap
313 versions too. They should also serve as a good example of how to
314 create your own classes derived from wxControl.
316 The C++ wxToolBar classes have been redone, and so have the wxPython
317 wrappers. There have been slight modifications to some of the methods
318 but shouldn't impact anybody too much. I took the opportunity to add
319 support for setting user data on each toolbar tool. The new AddTool
320 methods look like this:
324 pushedBitmap = wxNullBitmap,
327 shortHelpString = "",
330 def AddSimpleTool(ID,
332 shortHelpString = "",
337 There are also coresponding InsertTool and InsertSimpleTool methods
338 that additionally take an integer position as the first parameter.
340 Added a wrapper for the new PCX and TIFF ImageHandlers.
342 wxRect now simulates attributes named left, right, top and bottom.
344 Removed all non wx stuff from the glcanvas module since DA's PyOpenGL
345 is better and compatible with the wxGLCanvas. You can get it at
346 http://starship.python.net:9673/crew/da/Code/PyOpenGL.
348 Added some missing EVT_ functions.
350 Added Dirk Holtwic's editor classes to the wxPython.lib.editor
353 Changed all the "LIST" parameter names to "choices" to match the docs.
355 More fixes for the wxFloatBar, and it now works on wxGTK even better
356 than wxMSW! (The feat is accomplished by using the wxTB_DOCKABLE
357 style flag instead of trying to float it ourselves.)
364 Skipped a few version numbers so wxMSW, wxGTK and wxPython are all
367 wxImage.SetData now makes a copy of the image data before giving it to
368 wxImage. I mistakenly thought that wxImage would copy the data
371 Fixed wxMSW's notebook so the pages get their size set as they are
372 being added. This should remove the need for our
373 wxNotebook.ResizeChildren hack.
375 wxPanels now support AutoLayout, and wxNotebooks and wxSplitterWindows
376 no longer tell their children to Layout() themselves. This will
377 probably only effect you if you have a wxWindow with AutoLayout inside
378 a notebook or splitter. If so, either change it to a wxPanel or add
379 an EVT_SIZE handler that calls Layout().
381 Fixed deadlock problem that happened when using threads.
383 Added new HTML printing classes.
385 Added wxWindow.GetHandle
387 Apparently wxMouseEvent.Position has been depreciated in wxWindows as
388 it is no longer available by default. You can use GetPositionTuple
389 (returning a tuple with x,y) instead, or GetPosition (returning a
392 Added wxPostEvent function that allows events to be posted and then
393 processed later. This is a thread-safe way to interact with the GUI
394 thread from other threads.
396 Added Clipboard and Drag-and-Drop classes.
398 Added wxFontEnumerator.
400 Many updates to wxMenu, wxMenuBar.
402 wxPyEvent and wxPyCommandEvent derived classes now give you the actual
403 Python object in the event handler instead of a new shadow.
405 Added a Calendar widget from Lorne White to the library.
407 Made some fixes to the wxFloatbar. It still has some troubles on
410 Added an MVC tree control from Bryn Keller to the library.
417 This is a quick bug-fix release to take care of a few nasties that
418 crept in at the last minute before 2.1.4 was called done. No new
426 This release is NOT syncronized with a snapshot release of wxGTK or
427 wxMSW. For MSW this isn't much of a problem since you can get the
428 binaries from the web site. For other platforms you'll have to build
429 wxGTK from CVS. (See http://web.ukonline.co.uk/julian.smart/wxwin/cvs.htm)
430 To get the same set of sources from CVS that I used, checkout using
433 Now back to what's new...
435 Much more support for event-less callbacks and add-on modules.
437 Created add-on module with wxOGL classes.
439 Added wxWindow.GetChildren(). Be careful of this. It returns a *copy*
440 of the list of the window's children. While you are using the list if
441 anything changes in the real list (a child is deleted, etc.) then the
442 list you are holding will suddenly have window references to garbage
443 memory and your app will likely crash. But if you are careful it works
446 Added a bunch of new and missing methods to wxTreeCrtl. The
447 SortChildren method is now supported, but currently only for the
450 Added typemaps for wxSize, wxPoint, wxRealPoint, and wxRect that allow
451 either the actual objects or Python sequence values to be used. For
452 example, the following are equivallent:
454 win = wxWindow(parent, size = wxSize(100, 100))
455 win = wxWindow(parent, size = (100, 100))
457 Super-charged the wxHtml module. You can now create your own tag
458 handlers and also have access to the parser and cell classes. There
459 is a tag handler in the library at wxPython.lib.wxpTag that
460 understands the WXP tag and is able to place wxPython windows on HTML
461 pages. See the demo for an example.
463 A bunch of the methods of wxMenuBar were previously ifdef'd out for
464 wxGTK. Added them back in since the methods exist now.
466 Wrapped the wxHtmlHelpController and related classes.
468 Wrapped the C++ versions of wxSizer and friends. The Python-only
469 versions are still in the library, but depreciated. (You will get a
470 warning message if you try to use them, but the warning can be
471 disabled.) The usage of the C++ versions is slightly different, and
472 the functionality of wxBorderSizer is now part of wxBoxSizer. I have
473 added a few methods to wxSizer to try and make the transition as
474 smooth as possible, I combined all Add methods into a single method
475 that handles all cases, added an AddMany method, etc. One step I did
476 not take was to make the default value of flag in the Add method be
477 wxGROW. This would have made it more backward compatible, but less
478 portable to and from wxWin C++ code. Please see the docs and demo for
481 Added wxPyEvent and wxPyCommandEvent classes, derived from wxEvent and
482 wxCommandEvent. Each of them has SetPyData and GetPyData methods that
483 accept or return a single Python object. You can use these classes
484 directly or derive from them to create your own types of event objects
485 that can pass through the wxWindows event system without loosing their
486 Python parts (as long as they are stored with SetPyData.) Stay tuned
487 for more info and examples in future releases.
489 Added wxPython.lib.grids as an example of how to derive a new sizer
490 from the C++ sizers. In this module you will find wxGridSizer and
491 wxFlexGridSizer. wxGridSizer arrainges its items in a grid in which
492 all the widths and heights are the same. wxFlexgridSizer allows
493 different widths and heights, and you can also specify rows and/or
494 columns that are growable. See the demo for a couple examples for how
497 Added the wxValidator class, and created a class named wxPyValidator
498 that should be used for the base class of any Python validators. See
499 the demo for an example. Please note that you MUST implement a Clone
500 method in your validator classes because of the way some things work
501 in the underlying C++ library. I did not add wxTextValidator because
502 of some issues of how it transfers data to and from a wxString, which
503 in wxPython is automatically translated to and from Python strings, so
504 there would never be a concrete wxString that would hang around long
505 enough for the validator to do its job. On the other hand, it should
506 be real easy to duplicate the functionality of wxTextValidator in a
507 pure Python class derived from wxPyValidator.
509 I've finally added a feature that has been on my list for close to two
510 years! Ever wondered what that zero is for when you create your app
511 object? Well now you can leave it out or explicitly set it to a true
512 value. This value now controls what is to be done with sys.stdout and
513 sys.stderr. A false value leaves them alone, and a true value sets
514 them to an instance of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow. (On windows the
515 default is true, on unix platforms the default is false.) This class
516 creates a frame containing a wxTextCtrl as soon as anything is written
517 to sys.stdout or sys.stderr. If you close the window it will come
518 back again the next time something is written. (You can call
519 app.RestoreStdio to turn this off.) If you would rather that the stdio be
520 redirected to a file, you can provide a second parameter to your app
521 object's constructor that is a filename. If you want to use your own
522 class instead of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow you can either implement
523 RedirectStdio() in you app class or change the value of
524 wxApp.outputWindowClass like this:
527 outputWindowClass = MyClass
531 self.SetTopWindow(frame)
534 Please see the implementation of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow and wxApp in
535 wx.py for more details. A few words of caution: if you are running
536 your app in a debugger, changing sys.stdout and sys.stderr is likely
537 to really screw things up.
539 Added wxCaret. Unfortunately it's author has still not documented it
540 in the wxWindows docs...
542 Some new 3rd party contributions in wxPython.lib. PyShell, in
543 shell.py is an interesting implementaion of an interactive Python
544 shell in wxWindows. floatbar.py has a class derived from wxToolBar
545 that can sense mouse drags and then reparent itself into another
546 frame. Moving the new frame close to where it came from puts the tool
547 bar back into the original parent. (Unfortunately there is currently
548 a bug in wxGTK's wxFrame.SetToolBar so the FloatBar has some
557 This release is syncronized with release 2.1 snapshot 9 of wxWindows.
559 Switched to using SWIG from CVS (see http://swig.cs.uchicago.edu/cvs.html)
560 for some of the new features and such. Also they have encorporated my
561 patches so there is really no reason to stick with the current (very
562 old) release... This version of SWIG gives the following new
565 1. Keyword arguments. You no longer have to specify all the
566 parameters with defaults to a method just to specify a
567 non-default value on the end. You can now do this instead:
569 win = wxWindow(parent, -1, style = mystyle)
571 2. There is now an an equivalence between Python's None and C++'s
572 NULL. This means that any methods that might return NULL will
573 now return None and you can use none where wxWindows might be
574 expecting NULL. This makes things much more snake-ish.
577 There is a new build system based on a new Python program instead of
578 raw makefiles. Now wxPython builds are virtually the same on MSW or
579 Unix systems. See the end of this file for new build instructions and
580 see distrib/build.py for more details.
582 wxDC.Bilt now includes the useMask parameter, and has been split into
583 two different versions. wxDC.BlitXY is like what was there before and
584 takes raw coordinants and sizes, and the new wxDC.Blit is for the new
585 interface using wxPoints and a wxSize.
594 Added the missing wxWindow.GetUpdateRegion() method.
596 Made a new change in SWIG (update your patches everybody) that
597 provides a fix for global shadow objects that get an exception in
598 their __del__ when their extension module has already been deleted.
599 It was only a 1 line change in .../SWIG/Modules/pycpp.cxx at about
600 line 496 if you want to do it by hand.
602 It is now possible to run through MainLoop more than once in any one
603 process. The cleanup that used to happen as MainLoop completed (and
604 prevented it from running again) has been delayed until the wxc module
605 is being unloaded by Python.
607 I fixed a bunch of stuff in the C++ version of wxGrid so it wouldn't
608 make wxPython look bad.
610 wxWindow.PopupMenu() now takes a wxPoint instead of x,y. Added
611 wxWindow.PopupMenuXY to be consistent with some other methods.
613 Added wxGrid.SetEditInPlace and wxGrid.GetEditInPlace.
615 You can now provide your own app.MainLoop method. See
616 wxPython/demo/demoMainLoop.py for an example and some explaination.
618 Got the in-place-edit for the wxTreeCtrl fixed and added some demo
619 code to show how to use it.
621 Put the wxIcon constructor back in for GTK as it now has one that
624 Added wxGrid.GetCells
626 Added wxSystemSettings static methods as functions with names like
627 wxSystemSettings_GetSystemColour.
629 Removed wxPyMenu since using menu callbacks have been depreciated in
630 wxWindows. Use wxMenu and events instead.
632 Added alternate wxBitmap constructor (for MSW only) as
633 wxBitmapFromData(data, type, width, height, depth = 1)
635 Added a helper function named wxPyTypeCast that can convert shadow
636 objects of one type into shadow objects of another type. (Like doing
637 a down-cast.) See the implementation in wx.py for some docs.
639 Fixed wxImage GetData and SetData to properly use String objects for
642 Added access methods to wxGridEvent.
644 New Makefile/Setup files supporting multiple dynamic extension modules
647 Fixes for the wxGLCanvas demo to work around a strange bug in gtk.
649 SWIG support routines now compiled separately instead of being bundled
658 Fixed wxComboBox.SetSelection so that it actually sets the selected
659 item. (Actually just removed it from wxPython and let it default to
660 wxChoice.SetSelection which was already doing the right thing.)
662 Added the Printing Framework.
664 Switched back to using the wxWindows DLL for the pre-built Win32
665 version. The problem was needing to reinitialize static class info
666 data after loading each extension module.
668 Lots of little tweaks and additions to reflect changes to various
671 Fixed a bug with attaching objects to tree items. Actually was a
672 symptom of a larger problem with not obtaining the interpreter lock
673 when doing any Py_DECREFs.
675 wxSizer and friends. Sizers are layout tools that manage a colection
676 of windows and sizers. Different types of sizers apply different
677 types of layout algorithms. You saw it here first! These classes are
678 not even in the wxWindows C++ library yet!
684 Bug fix for ListCtrl in test4.py (Was a missing file... DSM!)
686 Bug fix for occassional GPF on Win32 systems upon termination of a
687 wxPython application.
689 Added wxListBox.GetSelections returning selections as a Tuple.
691 Added a wxTreeItemData that is able to hold any Python object and be
692 associated with items in a wxTreeCtrl. Added test pytree.py to show
695 Added wxSafeYield function.
697 OpenGL Canvas can be optionally compiled in to wxPython.
699 Awesome new Demo Framework for showing off wxPython and for learning
702 The pre-built Win32 version is no longer distributing the wxWindows
703 DLL. It is statically linked with the wxWindows library instead.
705 Added a couple missing items from the docs.
707 Added wxImage, wxImageHandler, wxPNGHandler, wxJPEGHandler,
708 wxGIFHandler and wxBMPHandler.
710 Added new methods to wxTextCtrl.
712 Fixed some problems with how SWIG was wrapping some wxTreeCtrl
719 Support for using Python threads in wxPython apps.
721 Several missing methods from various classes.
729 Added DLG_PNT and DLG_SZE convienience methods to wxWindow class.
731 Added missing constructor and other methods for wxMenuItem.
737 Just a quickie update to fix the self-installer to be compatible with
738 Python 1.5.2b2's Registry settings.
743 Well obviously the numbering scheme has changed. I did this to
744 reflect the fact that this truly is the second major revision of
745 wxPython, (well the third actually if you count the one I did for
746 wxWindows 1.68 and then threw away...) and also that it is associated
747 with the 2.0 version of wxWindows.
749 I have finally started documenting wxPython. There are several pages
750 in the wxWindows documentation tree specifically about wxPython, and I
751 have added notes within the class references about where and how wxPython
752 diverges from wxWindows.
754 Added wxWindow_FromHWND(hWnd) for wxMSW to construct a wxWindow from a
755 window handle. If you can get the window handle into the python code,
756 it should just work... More news on this later.
758 Added wxImageList, wxToolTip.
760 Re-enabled wxConfig.DeleteAll() since it is reportedly fixed for the
763 As usual, some bug fixes, tweaks, etc.
769 Added wxSashWindow, wxSashEvent, wxLayoutAlgorithm, etc.
771 Various cleanup, tweaks, minor additions, etc. to maintain
772 compatibility with the current wxWindows.
778 Changed the import semantics from "from wxPython import *" to "from
779 wxPython.wx import *" This is for people who are worried about
780 namespace pollution, they can use "from wxPython import wx" and then
781 prefix all the wxPython identifiers with "wx."
783 Added wxTaskbarIcon for wxMSW.
785 Made the events work for wxGrid.
789 Added wxMiniFrame for wxGTK.
791 Changed many of the args and return values that were pointers to gdi
792 objects to references to reflect changes in the wxWindows API.
794 Other assorted fixes and additions.
802 wxPython on wxGTK works!!! Both dynamic and static on Linux and
803 static on Solaris have been tested. Many thanks go to Harm
804 <H.v.d.Heijden@phys.tue.nl> for his astute detective work on tracking
805 down a nasty DECREF bug. Okay so I have to confess that it was just a
806 DSM (Dumb Stupid Mistake) on my part but it was nasty none the less
807 because the behavior was so different on different platforms.
809 The dynamicly loaded module on Solaris is still segfaulting, so it
810 must have been a different issue all along...
817 1. Worked on wxGTK compatibility. It is partially working. On a
818 Solaris/Sparc box wxPython is working but only when it is statically
819 linked with the Python interpreter. When built as a dyamically loaded
820 extension module, things start acting weirdly and it soon seg-faults.
821 And on Linux both the statically linked and the dynamically linked
822 version segfault shortly after starting up.
824 2. Added Toolbar, StatusBar and SplitterWindow classes.
826 3. Varioius bug fixes, enhancements, etc.
