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 wxPoint and others.
114 Added the wxPython.lib.mixins package to the library, it is where
115 useful mix-in classes can be placed. Currently there is one to help
116 makeing the columns in a wxListCtrl sortable, and the MagicIMageList
117 from Mike Fletcher. If you have any custom code that can be factored
118 out of existing classes into a mix-in that would be useful to others
119 please send it to me for inclusion in this package.
127 No changes happened in the Python wrappers for this release, only
128 changes and fixes in the wxWindows library.
135 New typemaps for wxString when compiling for Python 2.0 and beyond
136 that allow Unicode objects to be passed as well as String objects. If
137 a Unicode object is passed PyString_AsStringAndSize is used to convert
138 it to a wxString using the default encoding.
140 Fixed the generic buttons so tool tips work for them.
142 Fixed a bug in the demo's tree control.
144 Added a listbox to the listbox demo that shows how to find items with
145 a matching prefix as keys are typed.
147 Added code to the wxListCtrl demo to show how to get text from a
148 column in report mode.
150 Added code to the toolbar demo to clear the long help from the status
155 Fixed wxTimer so it can be used as described in the docs, either with
156 a Notify method in a subclass, or sending an event to a wxEvtHandler
157 object, (usually a window.)
159 Added wxNotifyEvent.Allow()
161 Fixed GOBS of reference leaks.
163 Massive code changes and cleanup to allow wxPython to be split into
164 multiple extension modules again. A Python CObject is used to allow
165 the "export" of SWIG functions and other common helper functions from
166 the wxc module to other modules, even if they are in separate shared
167 libraries. Should also be usable from 3rd party code, just include
168 wxPython/src/export.h
170 Changed the default setup so the following are built as separate
171 extension modules: calendar, glcanvas, grid, html, ogl, stc, and
172 utils. Will probably add more later.
174 Changed the wxPrinterDC to use the new constructor taking a
175 wxPrintData object. The old ctor is still there using the
178 Added wxPython.lib.anchors.py from Riaan Booysen. It contains a class
179 that implements Delphi's Anchors with wxLayoutConstraints.
181 Added wxPython.lib.fancytext from Timothy Hochberg.
183 Changed the GenericButtons to send their event in idle time, so the
184 mouse won't be captured when the event handler is called.
186 Added wxPython.lib.rpcMixin from Greg Landrum, although it's not
187 integrated with the demo yet. It allows a wxPython GUI to be an
195 Significantly changed how the wxStyledtextCtrl code that wraps
196 Scintilla is implemented. Most of it is now automatically generated
197 from an interface definition file provided by Scintilla. This means
198 that it will be much easier to stay in sync with new Scintilla
199 releases, but also means that some of the method and identifier names
200 have changed. See wxPython/demo/data/stc.h for a copy of the C++
201 interface from which the Python interface is generated. There is now
202 some inline documentation in that file that should really help explain
205 I am now using the Python Distutils to build wxPython and to make some
206 of the distribution files. (See http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/)
207 This means no more messing with my kludgy build.py/Makefile hack,
208 builds will be more consistent with other Python extensions that also
209 use Distutils, and will hopefully make wxPython easier to build for
210 platforms where there have been troubles before. If you are building
211 wxPython for Python 1.5.2 or for 1.6, then you will need to get and
212 install version 1.0 of Distutils from the website above. If you are
213 using Python 2.0 then you already have it.
215 Added wxInputStream and the wxFileSystem family of classes,
216 contributed by Joerg Baumann.
218 Added wxProcess and support for it to wxExecute. wxProcess lets you
219 get notified when an asyncronous child process terminates, and also to
220 get input/output streams for the child process's stdout, stderr and
223 Removed the old python sizers.
225 Added __add__, __sub__ and __cmp__ (equality check only) for wxPoint
228 Changed the build to make one big extension module instead of one for
229 the core and each contrib. This allowed me to do away with the
230 libwxPyHelpers.so on unix systems.
232 Lots of little fixes here and there.
234 Some hacks on wxGTK to try and make the AutoComplete listbox in the
235 wxStyledTextCtrl to behave better. It's still not as nice as on
236 wxMSW, but at least it's a bit more usable now.
244 Various tweaks, fixes, missing methods, etc.
246 Added example use of wxTaskBarIcon to the demo.
253 Added wxLog and friends.
255 Added wxFrame.ShowFullScreen for MSW.
257 Added PyShellWindow to the wxPython.lib package.
264 Added an attribute named labelDelta to the generic buttons that
265 specifies how far to offset the label when the button is in the
268 Added wxTipProvider and friends. See the demo for an example.
270 wxGrid can now change the cell highlight colour.
274 Fixed printing on wxGTK.
276 Added wxDateTime, wxTimeSpan, and wxDateSpan to wxPython.utils.
278 Added wxCalendarCtrl.
280 WARNING: A while back I asked what should be done about the Magic
281 Method Names. (Methods that are automatically turned into event
282 handlers by virtue of their name.) The consensus was that it is more
283 confusing to have them than to try and expand them to have greater
284 coverage. I am finally getting around to removing the code that
285 generates the event binding. This means that if you are using any of
286 the following method names without a EVT_* call that you need to
287 modify your code to add the EVT_* to hook the event to the method.
309 Fixed wxTreeCtrl.HitTest to return both the tree item as well as the
310 flags that clairify where the click was in relation to the item.
312 Fixed thread state problem in wxTreeCtrl.GetBoundingBox and
315 Fixed some problems in OGL. Also wxShape.SetClientData and
316 .GetClientData can now deal with Python objects.
318 Added wxListCtrl.SortItems and changed the demo to show how to use it.
320 Plugged a memory leak.
322 Wrapped the new wxGrid and friends. The old wxGrid class is no longer
323 available. There are some incompatibilities, and unfortunately the
324 new classes are not documented yet, (however the methods are more
325 consistent with each other now so you may be able to guess pretty
328 Updated filebrowsebutton.py and calendar.py with changes from their
329 authors. There is now a FileBrowseButtonWithHistory class (what a
330 mouthful!) and wxCalendar has printing support.
332 Added ActiveXWrapper to the library, and some good demos of it too.
333 It works great for embedding a COM (a.k.a OCX, a.k.a ActiveX) control
334 in a window and calling its methods. It actually creates a new class
335 on the fly that derives from wxWindow, the COM CoClass and others
336 needed to make it all work. The resulting class can be instantiated
337 just like wxWindow, used in sizers, etc. It also responds to all COM
338 method calls, properties, etc., and if the class or a mix-in has
339 matching method names, then the COM events will be propogated back to
342 Created a typemap that allows a string to be used for parameters
343 expecting a wxColour type. The string is either a colour name as
344 defined in the wxColourDatabase, or a colour spec of the form
345 "#RRGGBB". See the wxStyledTextCtrl demo for an example.
347 I almost forgot to mention the wxStyledTextCtrl! Yes, the
348 wxStyledTextCtrl is finally in wxPython!! (And the crowd goes
349 wild...) There's no documentaTion yet (the crowd boos and hisses...)
350 but I've included a very readable source file in the
351 wxPython/demo/data directory, a couple fairly good examples, and you
352 can also refer to the Scintilla documentaion at
353 http://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaDoc.html to help fill in the gaps
354 until the docs are done. (The croud murmers contentedly as the tool
355 provider smiles convincingly and removes his flame-proof suit.)
362 Skipped a version number to match what has been released for wxGTK.
364 Updated wxMVCTree and added a demo for it, also fixed layout on GTK
365 and some flicker problems.
367 Added a wrapper class for the Visualization ToolKit (or VTK) in the
368 wxPython.lib.vtk module. (http://www.kitware.com/)
370 Fixed wxTreeCtrl.SetItemImage and GetItemImage to recognise the new
373 Added wxPython.lib.spashscreen from Mike Fletcher.
375 Added wxPython.lib.filebrowsebutton also from Mike Fletcher.
377 Renamed wxTreeCtrl.GetParent to GetItemParent to avoid a name clash
378 with wxWindow.GetParent.
380 Added wxIntersectRect to compute the intersection of two wxRect's.
381 It is used like this:
383 intersect = wxIntersectRect(rect1, rect2)
385 If r1 and r2 don't intersect then None is returned, otherwise the
386 rectangle representing the intersection is returned.
388 Some bug fixes for Clipboard and Drag-n-Drop.
390 Rotated text!!! WooHoo! (See wxDC.DrawRotatedText())
392 Added a set of Generic Buttons to the library. These are simple
393 window classes that look and act like native buttons, but you can have
394 a bit more control over them. The bezel width can be set in addition
395 to colours, fonts, etc. There is a ToggleButton as well as Bitmap
396 versions too. They should also serve as a good example of how to
397 create your own classes derived from wxControl.
399 The C++ wxToolBar classes have been redone, and so have the wxPython
400 wrappers. There have been slight modifications to some of the methods
401 but shouldn't impact anybody too much. I took the opportunity to add
402 support for setting user data on each toolbar tool. The new AddTool
403 methods look like this:
407 pushedBitmap = wxNullBitmap,
410 shortHelpString = "",
413 def AddSimpleTool(ID,
415 shortHelpString = "",
420 There are also coresponding InsertTool and InsertSimpleTool methods
421 that additionally take an integer position as the first parameter.
423 Added a wrapper for the new PCX and TIFF ImageHandlers.
425 wxRect now simulates attributes named left, right, top and bottom.
427 Removed all non wx stuff from the glcanvas module since DA's PyOpenGL
428 is better and compatible with the wxGLCanvas. You can get it at
429 http://starship.python.net:9673/crew/da/Code/PyOpenGL.
431 Added some missing EVT_ functions.
433 Added Dirk Holtwic's editor classes to the wxPython.lib.editor
436 Changed all the "LIST" parameter names to "choices" to match the docs.
438 More fixes for the wxFloatBar, and it now works on wxGTK even better
439 than wxMSW! (The feat is accomplished by using the wxTB_DOCKABLE
440 style flag instead of trying to float it ourselves.)
447 Skipped a few version numbers so wxMSW, wxGTK and wxPython are all
450 wxImage.SetData now makes a copy of the image data before giving it to
451 wxImage. I mistakenly thought that wxImage would copy the data
454 Fixed wxMSW's notebook so the pages get their size set as they are
455 being added. This should remove the need for our
456 wxNotebook.ResizeChildren hack.
458 wxPanels now support AutoLayout, and wxNotebooks and wxSplitterWindows
459 no longer tell their children to Layout() themselves. This will
460 probably only effect you if you have a wxWindow with AutoLayout inside
461 a notebook or splitter. If so, either change it to a wxPanel or add
462 an EVT_SIZE handler that calls Layout().
464 Fixed deadlock problem that happened when using threads.
466 Added new HTML printing classes.
468 Added wxWindow.GetHandle
470 Apparently wxMouseEvent.Position has been depreciated in wxWindows as
471 it is no longer available by default. You can use GetPositionTuple
472 (returning a tuple with x,y) instead, or GetPosition (returning a
475 Added wxPostEvent function that allows events to be posted and then
476 processed later. This is a thread-safe way to interact with the GUI
477 thread from other threads.
479 Added Clipboard and Drag-and-Drop classes.
481 Added wxFontEnumerator.
483 Many updates to wxMenu, wxMenuBar.
485 wxPyEvent and wxPyCommandEvent derived classes now give you the actual
486 Python object in the event handler instead of a new shadow.
488 Added a Calendar widget from Lorne White to the library.
490 Made some fixes to the wxFloatbar. It still has some troubles on
493 Added an MVC tree control from Bryn Keller to the library.
500 This is a quick bug-fix release to take care of a few nasties that
501 crept in at the last minute before 2.1.4 was called done. No new
509 This release is NOT syncronized with a snapshot release of wxGTK or
510 wxMSW. For MSW this isn't much of a problem since you can get the
511 binaries from the web site. For other platforms you'll have to build
512 wxGTK from CVS. (See http://web.ukonline.co.uk/julian.smart/wxwin/cvs.htm)
513 To get the same set of sources from CVS that I used, checkout using
516 Now back to what's new...
518 Much more support for event-less callbacks and add-on modules.
520 Created add-on module with wxOGL classes.
522 Added wxWindow.GetChildren(). Be careful of this. It returns a *copy*
523 of the list of the window's children. While you are using the list if
524 anything changes in the real list (a child is deleted, etc.) then the
525 list you are holding will suddenly have window references to garbage
526 memory and your app will likely crash. But if you are careful it works
529 Added a bunch of new and missing methods to wxTreeCrtl. The
530 SortChildren method is now supported, but currently only for the
533 Added typemaps for wxSize, wxPoint, wxRealPoint, and wxRect that allow
534 either the actual objects or Python sequence values to be used. For
535 example, the following are equivallent:
537 win = wxWindow(parent, size = wxSize(100, 100))
538 win = wxWindow(parent, size = (100, 100))
540 Super-charged the wxHtml module. You can now create your own tag
541 handlers and also have access to the parser and cell classes. There
542 is a tag handler in the library at wxPython.lib.wxpTag that
543 understands the WXP tag and is able to place wxPython windows on HTML
544 pages. See the demo for an example.
546 A bunch of the methods of wxMenuBar were previously ifdef'd out for
547 wxGTK. Added them back in since the methods exist now.
549 Wrapped the wxHtmlHelpController and related classes.
551 Wrapped the C++ versions of wxSizer and friends. The Python-only
552 versions are still in the library, but depreciated. (You will get a
553 warning message if you try to use them, but the warning can be
554 disabled.) The usage of the C++ versions is slightly different, and
555 the functionality of wxBorderSizer is now part of wxBoxSizer. I have
556 added a few methods to wxSizer to try and make the transition as
557 smooth as possible, I combined all Add methods into a single method
558 that handles all cases, added an AddMany method, etc. One step I did
559 not take was to make the default value of flag in the Add method be
560 wxGROW. This would have made it more backward compatible, but less
561 portable to and from wxWin C++ code. Please see the docs and demo for
564 Added wxPyEvent and wxPyCommandEvent classes, derived from wxEvent and
565 wxCommandEvent. Each of them has SetPyData and GetPyData methods that
566 accept or return a single Python object. You can use these classes
567 directly or derive from them to create your own types of event objects
568 that can pass through the wxWindows event system without loosing their
569 Python parts (as long as they are stored with SetPyData.) Stay tuned
570 for more info and examples in future releases.
572 Added wxPython.lib.grids as an example of how to derive a new sizer
573 from the C++ sizers. In this module you will find wxGridSizer and
574 wxFlexGridSizer. wxGridSizer arrainges its items in a grid in which
575 all the widths and heights are the same. wxFlexgridSizer allows
576 different widths and heights, and you can also specify rows and/or
577 columns that are growable. See the demo for a couple examples for how
580 Added the wxValidator class, and created a class named wxPyValidator
581 that should be used for the base class of any Python validators. See
582 the demo for an example. Please note that you MUST implement a Clone
583 method in your validator classes because of the way some things work
584 in the underlying C++ library. I did not add wxTextValidator because
585 of some issues of how it transfers data to and from a wxString, which
586 in wxPython is automatically translated to and from Python strings, so
587 there would never be a concrete wxString that would hang around long
588 enough for the validator to do its job. On the other hand, it should
589 be real easy to duplicate the functionality of wxTextValidator in a
590 pure Python class derived from wxPyValidator.
592 I've finally added a feature that has been on my list for close to two
593 years! Ever wondered what that zero is for when you create your app
594 object? Well now you can leave it out or explicitly set it to a true
595 value. This value now controls what is to be done with sys.stdout and
596 sys.stderr. A false value leaves them alone, and a true value sets
597 them to an instance of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow. (On windows the
598 default is true, on unix platforms the default is false.) This class
599 creates a frame containing a wxTextCtrl as soon as anything is written
600 to sys.stdout or sys.stderr. If you close the window it will come
601 back again the next time something is written. (You can call
602 app.RestoreStdio to turn this off.) If you would rather that the stdio be
603 redirected to a file, you can provide a second parameter to your app
604 object's constructor that is a filename. If you want to use your own
605 class instead of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow you can either implement
606 RedirectStdio() in you app class or change the value of
607 wxApp.outputWindowClass like this:
610 outputWindowClass = MyClass
614 self.SetTopWindow(frame)
617 Please see the implementation of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow and wxApp in
618 wx.py for more details. A few words of caution: if you are running
619 your app in a debugger, changing sys.stdout and sys.stderr is likely
620 to really screw things up.
622 Added wxCaret. Unfortunately it's author has still not documented it
623 in the wxWindows docs...
625 Some new 3rd party contributions in wxPython.lib. PyShell, in
626 shell.py is an interesting implementaion of an interactive Python
627 shell in wxWindows. floatbar.py has a class derived from wxToolBar
628 that can sense mouse drags and then reparent itself into another
629 frame. Moving the new frame close to where it came from puts the tool
630 bar back into the original parent. (Unfortunately there is currently
631 a bug in wxGTK's wxFrame.SetToolBar so the FloatBar has some
640 This release is syncronized with release 2.1 snapshot 9 of wxWindows.
642 Switched to using SWIG from CVS (see http://swig.cs.uchicago.edu/cvs.html)
643 for some of the new features and such. Also they have encorporated my
644 patches so there is really no reason to stick with the current (very
645 old) release... This version of SWIG gives the following new
648 1. Keyword arguments. You no longer have to specify all the
649 parameters with defaults to a method just to specify a
650 non-default value on the end. You can now do this instead:
652 win = wxWindow(parent, -1, style = mystyle)
654 2. There is now an an equivalence between Python's None and C++'s
655 NULL. This means that any methods that might return NULL will
656 now return None and you can use none where wxWindows might be
657 expecting NULL. This makes things much more snake-ish.
660 There is a new build system based on a new Python program instead of
661 raw makefiles. Now wxPython builds are virtually the same on MSW or
662 Unix systems. See the end of this file for new build instructions and
663 see distrib/build.py for more details.
665 wxDC.Bilt now includes the useMask parameter, and has been split into
666 two different versions. wxDC.BlitXY is like what was there before and
667 takes raw coordinants and sizes, and the new wxDC.Blit is for the new
668 interface using wxPoints and a wxSize.
677 Added the missing wxWindow.GetUpdateRegion() method.
679 Made a new change in SWIG (update your patches everybody) that
680 provides a fix for global shadow objects that get an exception in
681 their __del__ when their extension module has already been deleted.
682 It was only a 1 line change in .../SWIG/Modules/pycpp.cxx at about
683 line 496 if you want to do it by hand.
685 It is now possible to run through MainLoop more than once in any one
686 process. The cleanup that used to happen as MainLoop completed (and
687 prevented it from running again) has been delayed until the wxc module
688 is being unloaded by Python.
690 I fixed a bunch of stuff in the C++ version of wxGrid so it wouldn't
691 make wxPython look bad.
693 wxWindow.PopupMenu() now takes a wxPoint instead of x,y. Added
694 wxWindow.PopupMenuXY to be consistent with some other methods.
696 Added wxGrid.SetEditInPlace and wxGrid.GetEditInPlace.
698 You can now provide your own app.MainLoop method. See
699 wxPython/demo/demoMainLoop.py for an example and some explaination.
701 Got the in-place-edit for the wxTreeCtrl fixed and added some demo
702 code to show how to use it.
704 Put the wxIcon constructor back in for GTK as it now has one that
707 Added wxGrid.GetCells
709 Added wxSystemSettings static methods as functions with names like
710 wxSystemSettings_GetSystemColour.
712 Removed wxPyMenu since using menu callbacks have been depreciated in
713 wxWindows. Use wxMenu and events instead.
715 Added alternate wxBitmap constructor (for MSW only) as
716 wxBitmapFromData(data, type, width, height, depth = 1)
718 Added a helper function named wxPyTypeCast that can convert shadow
719 objects of one type into shadow objects of another type. (Like doing
720 a down-cast.) See the implementation in wx.py for some docs.
722 Fixed wxImage GetData and SetData to properly use String objects for
725 Added access methods to wxGridEvent.
727 New Makefile/Setup files supporting multiple dynamic extension modules
730 Fixes for the wxGLCanvas demo to work around a strange bug in gtk.
732 SWIG support routines now compiled separately instead of being bundled
741 Fixed wxComboBox.SetSelection so that it actually sets the selected
742 item. (Actually just removed it from wxPython and let it default to
743 wxChoice.SetSelection which was already doing the right thing.)
745 Added the Printing Framework.
747 Switched back to using the wxWindows DLL for the pre-built Win32
748 version. The problem was needing to reinitialize static class info
749 data after loading each extension module.
751 Lots of little tweaks and additions to reflect changes to various
754 Fixed a bug with attaching objects to tree items. Actually was a
755 symptom of a larger problem with not obtaining the interpreter lock
756 when doing any Py_DECREFs.
758 wxSizer and friends. Sizers are layout tools that manage a colection
759 of windows and sizers. Different types of sizers apply different
760 types of layout algorithms. You saw it here first! These classes are
761 not even in the wxWindows C++ library yet!
767 Bug fix for ListCtrl in test4.py (Was a missing file... DSM!)
769 Bug fix for occassional GPF on Win32 systems upon termination of a
770 wxPython application.
772 Added wxListBox.GetSelections returning selections as a Tuple.
774 Added a wxTreeItemData that is able to hold any Python object and be
775 associated with items in a wxTreeCtrl. Added test pytree.py to show
778 Added wxSafeYield function.
780 OpenGL Canvas can be optionally compiled in to wxPython.
782 Awesome new Demo Framework for showing off wxPython and for learning
785 The pre-built Win32 version is no longer distributing the wxWindows
786 DLL. It is statically linked with the wxWindows library instead.
788 Added a couple missing items from the docs.
790 Added wxImage, wxImageHandler, wxPNGHandler, wxJPEGHandler,
791 wxGIFHandler and wxBMPHandler.
793 Added new methods to wxTextCtrl.
795 Fixed some problems with how SWIG was wrapping some wxTreeCtrl
802 Support for using Python threads in wxPython apps.
804 Several missing methods from various classes.
812 Added DLG_PNT and DLG_SZE convienience methods to wxWindow class.
814 Added missing constructor and other methods for wxMenuItem.
820 Just a quickie update to fix the self-installer to be compatible with
821 Python 1.5.2b2's Registry settings.
826 Well obviously the numbering scheme has changed. I did this to
827 reflect the fact that this truly is the second major revision of
828 wxPython, (well the third actually if you count the one I did for
829 wxWindows 1.68 and then threw away...) and also that it is associated
830 with the 2.0 version of wxWindows.
832 I have finally started documenting wxPython. There are several pages
833 in the wxWindows documentation tree specifically about wxPython, and I
834 have added notes within the class references about where and how wxPython
835 diverges from wxWindows.
837 Added wxWindow_FromHWND(hWnd) for wxMSW to construct a wxWindow from a
838 window handle. If you can get the window handle into the python code,
839 it should just work... More news on this later.
841 Added wxImageList, wxToolTip.
843 Re-enabled wxConfig.DeleteAll() since it is reportedly fixed for the
846 As usual, some bug fixes, tweaks, etc.
852 Added wxSashWindow, wxSashEvent, wxLayoutAlgorithm, etc.
854 Various cleanup, tweaks, minor additions, etc. to maintain
855 compatibility with the current wxWindows.
861 Changed the import semantics from "from wxPython import *" to "from
862 wxPython.wx import *" This is for people who are worried about
863 namespace pollution, they can use "from wxPython import wx" and then
864 prefix all the wxPython identifiers with "wx."
866 Added wxTaskbarIcon for wxMSW.
868 Made the events work for wxGrid.
872 Added wxMiniFrame for wxGTK.
874 Changed many of the args and return values that were pointers to gdi
875 objects to references to reflect changes in the wxWindows API.
877 Other assorted fixes and additions.
885 wxPython on wxGTK works!!! Both dynamic and static on Linux and
886 static on Solaris have been tested. Many thanks go to Harm
887 <H.v.d.Heijden@phys.tue.nl> for his astute detective work on tracking
888 down a nasty DECREF bug. Okay so I have to confess that it was just a
889 DSM (Dumb Stupid Mistake) on my part but it was nasty none the less
890 because the behavior was so different on different platforms.
892 The dynamicly loaded module on Solaris is still segfaulting, so it
893 must have been a different issue all along...
900 1. Worked on wxGTK compatibility. It is partially working. On a
901 Solaris/Sparc box wxPython is working but only when it is statically
902 linked with the Python interpreter. When built as a dyamically loaded
903 extension module, things start acting weirdly and it soon seg-faults.
904 And on Linux both the statically linked and the dynamically linked
905 version segfault shortly after starting up.
907 2. Added Toolbar, StatusBar and SplitterWindow classes.
909 3. Varioius bug fixes, enhancements, etc.
