1 CHANGES.txt for wxPython
3 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
7 Added EVT_GRID_EDITOR_CREATED and wxGridEditorCreatedEvent so the user
8 code can get access to the edit control when it is created, (to push
9 on a custom event handler for example.)
11 Added wxTextAttr class and SetStyle, SetDefaultStyle and
12 GetDefaultStyle methods to wxTextCtrl.
14 Added ability to use xml resource files. Still need to add ability to
15 subclass wxXmlResourceHandler, etc...
17 Added wxGridAutoEditMixin to the mixins library package.
19 Made ColourSelect be derived from wxButton.
25 Removed initial startup dependency on the OpenGL DLLs so only the
26 glcanvasc.pyd depends on them, (on wxMSW.)
28 Changed wxFont, wxPen, wxBrush to not implicitly use the
29 wxThe[Font|Pen|Brush]List objects behind the scenes, but to use normal
32 Exposed the wxThe[Font|Pen|Brush]List to wxPython.
34 Also added wxTheColourDatabase and added a library module (in the
35 wxPython.lib.colourdb module) to load LOTS more colour names into the
38 Added wxWakeUpMainThread, wxMutexGuiEnter, wxMutexGuiLeave,
39 wxMutexGuiLocker and wxThread_IsMain to assist with dealing with GUI
40 access from non-GUI threads.
42 wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow is now (more) thread safe if non-GUI threads
43 use print, sys.stdout.write, etc.
45 Added CreateTextSizer and CreateButtonSizer to wxDialog
47 Added wxPython/lib/infoframe.py from Chris Fama. It contains a class
48 that can be used in place of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow.
50 Added colourselect.py, imagebrowser.py and an updated calendar.py to
51 wxPython/lib from Lorne White.
53 Added patch to wxPoint_LIST_helper from Tim Hochberg that should make
54 it gobs faster in certain situations.
56 Added tools that will take an image file in a wx supported format and
57 convert it to data embedded in a Python source file. The image is
58 converted to XPM format which is essentially a list of strings
59 containing info about each pixel. The image's transparency mask is
60 included, if there is one, or a mask can be added if a mask colour is
61 specified on the command line. It is then pickled and optionally
62 compressed and written to a Python source file along with functions to
63 convert it to either a wxBitmap or a wxImage. See
64 wxPython/demo/images.py for examples, and wxPython/Tools/img2py.py for
67 Fixed wxStyledTextCtrl to be much faster on wxGTK. There was some
68 experimental code that got left in place that ended up causing way too
71 A couple more hacks in my_distutils.py so wxPython can be built with
72 the distutils that comes with Python 2.1.
74 Added a ton of missing methods for wxPrintData.
76 Switched to InnoSetup for MSW distributions.
80 Fixed bug that prevented wxTreeCtrl.OnCompareItems from being called.
82 Added some methods to wxGrid:
83 GetCellHighlightPenWidth
84 GetCellHighlightROPenWidth
85 SetCellHighlightPenWidth
86 SetCellHighlightROPenWidth
90 GetGridCornerLabelWindow
92 Added wxGetClientDisplayRect which on wxMSW returns a wxRect
93 representing the area on screen not occupied by the taskbar and such.
94 On other platforms it is equivallent to wxGetDisplaySize.
97 ***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---
98 Implemented the first phase of OOR (Original Object Return). See
99 the text in the demo for more details of what this means, but in a
100 nutshell methods such as wxWindow.GetParent or FindWindowById will
101 now return a shadow object of the proper type if it can. By
102 "proper type" I mean that if the wxWindow pointer returned from
103 FindWindowById really points to a wxButton then the Python object
104 constructed will be of a wxButtonPtr class instead of wxWindowPtr
105 as before. This should reduce or eliminiate the need for
106 wxPyTypeCast. (Woo Hoo!) The objects returned are still not the
107 original Python object, but that is the next step. (Although it
108 will probably only work on Python 2.1 and beyond because it will
109 use weak references.)
111 This first phase of the OOR plan is fairly significant and has
112 required a lot of changes all over wxPython, most of which should
113 be transparent to you, however I'm not 100% sure that it didn't
114 introduce any new bugs that are hiding somewhere and didn't get
115 stomped on during my testing. So please be sure to test everything
116 thoroughly when you install this version and be sure to report any
117 object-type related oddities to me.
118 ***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---
120 There is now a wxObject class that most other classes derive from like
121 in C++, but the methods provided don't really match but are wxPython
122 specific. It could have been added long ago but OOR required it so it
125 Finally added wxPyLineShape.GetLineControlPoints, which has been on my
126 list for a while. The above OOR modification made this easier.
128 Fixed the __cmp__ methods for wxPoint and others.
132 Added the wxPython.lib.mixins package to the library, it is where
133 useful mix-in classes can be placed. Currently there is one to help
134 make the columns in a wxListCtrl sortable, and the MagicIMageList from
135 Mike Fletcher. If you have any custom code that can be factored out
136 of existing classes into a mix-in that would be useful to others
137 please send it to me for inclusion in this package.
139 Added a few little sample applications to help newbies to get started
140 by having smaller functional apps to play with. They can be found in
149 No changes happened in the Python wrappers for this release, only
150 changes and fixes in the wxWindows library.
157 New typemaps for wxString when compiling for Python 2.0 and beyond
158 that allow Unicode objects to be passed as well as String objects. If
159 a Unicode object is passed PyString_AsStringAndSize is used to convert
160 it to a wxString using the default encoding.
162 Fixed the generic buttons so tool tips work for them.
164 Fixed a bug in the demo's tree control.
166 Added a listbox to the listbox demo that shows how to find items with
167 a matching prefix as keys are typed.
169 Added code to the wxListCtrl demo to show how to get text from a
170 column in report mode.
172 Added code to the toolbar demo to clear the long help from the status
177 Fixed wxTimer so it can be used as described in the docs, either with
178 a Notify method in a subclass, or sending an event to a wxEvtHandler
179 object, (usually a window.)
181 Added wxNotifyEvent.Allow()
183 Fixed GOBS of reference leaks.
185 Massive code changes and cleanup to allow wxPython to be split into
186 multiple extension modules again. A Python CObject is used to allow
187 the "export" of SWIG functions and other common helper functions from
188 the wxc module to other modules, even if they are in separate shared
189 libraries. Should also be usable from 3rd party code, just include
190 wxPython/src/export.h
192 Changed the default setup so the following are built as separate
193 extension modules: calendar, glcanvas, grid, html, ogl, stc, and
194 utils. Will probably add more later.
196 Changed the wxPrinterDC to use the new constructor taking a
197 wxPrintData object. The old ctor is still there using the
200 Added wxPython.lib.anchors.py from Riaan Booysen. It contains a class
201 that implements Delphi's Anchors with wxLayoutConstraints.
203 Added wxPython.lib.fancytext from Timothy Hochberg.
205 Changed the GenericButtons to send their event in idle time, so the
206 mouse won't be captured when the event handler is called.
208 Added wxPython.lib.rpcMixin from Greg Landrum, although it's not
209 integrated with the demo yet. It allows a wxPython GUI to be an
217 Significantly changed how the wxStyledtextCtrl code that wraps
218 Scintilla is implemented. Most of it is now automatically generated
219 from an interface definition file provided by Scintilla. This means
220 that it will be much easier to stay in sync with new Scintilla
221 releases, but also means that some of the method and identifier names
222 have changed. See wxPython/demo/data/stc.h for a copy of the C++
223 interface from which the Python interface is generated. There is now
224 some inline documentation in that file that should really help explain
227 I am now using the Python Distutils to build wxPython and to make some
228 of the distribution files. (See http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/)
229 This means no more messing with my kludgy build.py/Makefile hack,
230 builds will be more consistent with other Python extensions that also
231 use Distutils, and will hopefully make wxPython easier to build for
232 platforms where there have been troubles before. If you are building
233 wxPython for Python 1.5.2 or for 1.6, then you will need to get and
234 install version 1.0 of Distutils from the website above. If you are
235 using Python 2.0 then you already have it.
237 Added wxInputStream and the wxFileSystem family of classes,
238 contributed by Joerg Baumann.
240 Added wxProcess and support for it to wxExecute. wxProcess lets you
241 get notified when an asyncronous child process terminates, and also to
242 get input/output streams for the child process's stdout, stderr and
245 Removed the old python sizers.
247 Added __add__, __sub__ and __cmp__ (equality check only) for wxPoint
250 Changed the build to make one big extension module instead of one for
251 the core and each contrib. This allowed me to do away with the
252 libwxPyHelpers.so on unix systems.
254 Lots of little fixes here and there.
256 Some hacks on wxGTK to try and make the AutoComplete listbox in the
257 wxStyledTextCtrl to behave better. It's still not as nice as on
258 wxMSW, but at least it's a bit more usable now.
266 Various tweaks, fixes, missing methods, etc.
268 Added example use of wxTaskBarIcon to the demo.
275 Added wxLog and friends.
277 Added wxFrame.ShowFullScreen for MSW.
279 Added PyShellWindow to the wxPython.lib package.
286 Added an attribute named labelDelta to the generic buttons that
287 specifies how far to offset the label when the button is in the
290 Added wxTipProvider and friends. See the demo for an example.
292 wxGrid can now change the cell highlight colour.
296 Fixed printing on wxGTK.
298 Added wxDateTime, wxTimeSpan, and wxDateSpan to wxPython.utils.
300 Added wxCalendarCtrl.
302 WARNING: A while back I asked what should be done about the Magic
303 Method Names. (Methods that are automatically turned into event
304 handlers by virtue of their name.) The consensus was that it is more
305 confusing to have them than to try and expand them to have greater
306 coverage. I am finally getting around to removing the code that
307 generates the event binding. This means that if you are using any of
308 the following method names without a EVT_* call that you need to
309 modify your code to add the EVT_* to hook the event to the method.
331 Fixed wxTreeCtrl.HitTest to return both the tree item as well as the
332 flags that clairify where the click was in relation to the item.
334 Fixed thread state problem in wxTreeCtrl.GetBoundingBox and
337 Fixed some problems in OGL. Also wxShape.SetClientData and
338 .GetClientData can now deal with Python objects.
340 Added wxListCtrl.SortItems and changed the demo to show how to use it.
342 Plugged a memory leak.
344 Wrapped the new wxGrid and friends. The old wxGrid class is no longer
345 available. There are some incompatibilities, and unfortunately the
346 new classes are not documented yet, (however the methods are more
347 consistent with each other now so you may be able to guess pretty
350 Updated filebrowsebutton.py and calendar.py with changes from their
351 authors. There is now a FileBrowseButtonWithHistory class (what a
352 mouthful!) and wxCalendar has printing support.
354 Added ActiveXWrapper to the library, and some good demos of it too.
355 It works great for embedding a COM (a.k.a OCX, a.k.a ActiveX) control
356 in a window and calling its methods. It actually creates a new class
357 on the fly that derives from wxWindow, the COM CoClass and others
358 needed to make it all work. The resulting class can be instantiated
359 just like wxWindow, used in sizers, etc. It also responds to all COM
360 method calls, properties, etc., and if the class or a mix-in has
361 matching method names, then the COM events will be propogated back to
364 Created a typemap that allows a string to be used for parameters
365 expecting a wxColour type. The string is either a colour name as
366 defined in the wxColourDatabase, or a colour spec of the form
367 "#RRGGBB". See the wxStyledTextCtrl demo for an example.
369 I almost forgot to mention the wxStyledTextCtrl! Yes, the
370 wxStyledTextCtrl is finally in wxPython!! (And the crowd goes
371 wild...) There's no documentaTion yet (the crowd boos and hisses...)
372 but I've included a very readable source file in the
373 wxPython/demo/data directory, a couple fairly good examples, and you
374 can also refer to the Scintilla documentaion at
375 http://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaDoc.html to help fill in the gaps
376 until the docs are done. (The croud murmers contentedly as the tool
377 provider smiles convincingly and removes his flame-proof suit.)
384 Skipped a version number to match what has been released for wxGTK.
386 Updated wxMVCTree and added a demo for it, also fixed layout on GTK
387 and some flicker problems.
389 Added a wrapper class for the Visualization ToolKit (or VTK) in the
390 wxPython.lib.vtk module. (http://www.kitware.com/)
392 Fixed wxTreeCtrl.SetItemImage and GetItemImage to recognise the new
395 Added wxPython.lib.spashscreen from Mike Fletcher.
397 Added wxPython.lib.filebrowsebutton also from Mike Fletcher.
399 Renamed wxTreeCtrl.GetParent to GetItemParent to avoid a name clash
400 with wxWindow.GetParent.
402 Added wxIntersectRect to compute the intersection of two wxRect's.
403 It is used like this:
405 intersect = wxIntersectRect(rect1, rect2)
407 If r1 and r2 don't intersect then None is returned, otherwise the
408 rectangle representing the intersection is returned.
410 Some bug fixes for Clipboard and Drag-n-Drop.
412 Rotated text!!! WooHoo! (See wxDC.DrawRotatedText())
414 Added a set of Generic Buttons to the library. These are simple
415 window classes that look and act like native buttons, but you can have
416 a bit more control over them. The bezel width can be set in addition
417 to colours, fonts, etc. There is a ToggleButton as well as Bitmap
418 versions too. They should also serve as a good example of how to
419 create your own classes derived from wxControl.
421 The C++ wxToolBar classes have been redone, and so have the wxPython
422 wrappers. There have been slight modifications to some of the methods
423 but shouldn't impact anybody too much. I took the opportunity to add
424 support for setting user data on each toolbar tool. The new AddTool
425 methods look like this:
429 pushedBitmap = wxNullBitmap,
432 shortHelpString = "",
435 def AddSimpleTool(ID,
437 shortHelpString = "",
442 There are also coresponding InsertTool and InsertSimpleTool methods
443 that additionally take an integer position as the first parameter.
445 Added a wrapper for the new PCX and TIFF ImageHandlers.
447 wxRect now simulates attributes named left, right, top and bottom.
449 Removed all non wx stuff from the glcanvas module since DA's PyOpenGL
450 is better and compatible with the wxGLCanvas. You can get it at
451 http://starship.python.net:9673/crew/da/Code/PyOpenGL.
453 Added some missing EVT_ functions.
455 Added Dirk Holtwic's editor classes to the wxPython.lib.editor
458 Changed all the "LIST" parameter names to "choices" to match the docs.
460 More fixes for the wxFloatBar, and it now works on wxGTK even better
461 than wxMSW! (The feat is accomplished by using the wxTB_DOCKABLE
462 style flag instead of trying to float it ourselves.)
469 Skipped a few version numbers so wxMSW, wxGTK and wxPython are all
472 wxImage.SetData now makes a copy of the image data before giving it to
473 wxImage. I mistakenly thought that wxImage would copy the data
476 Fixed wxMSW's notebook so the pages get their size set as they are
477 being added. This should remove the need for our
478 wxNotebook.ResizeChildren hack.
480 wxPanels now support AutoLayout, and wxNotebooks and wxSplitterWindows
481 no longer tell their children to Layout() themselves. This will
482 probably only effect you if you have a wxWindow with AutoLayout inside
483 a notebook or splitter. If so, either change it to a wxPanel or add
484 an EVT_SIZE handler that calls Layout().
486 Fixed deadlock problem that happened when using threads.
488 Added new HTML printing classes.
490 Added wxWindow.GetHandle
492 Apparently wxMouseEvent.Position has been depreciated in wxWindows as
493 it is no longer available by default. You can use GetPositionTuple
494 (returning a tuple with x,y) instead, or GetPosition (returning a
497 Added wxPostEvent function that allows events to be posted and then
498 processed later. This is a thread-safe way to interact with the GUI
499 thread from other threads.
501 Added Clipboard and Drag-and-Drop classes.
503 Added wxFontEnumerator.
505 Many updates to wxMenu, wxMenuBar.
507 wxPyEvent and wxPyCommandEvent derived classes now give you the actual
508 Python object in the event handler instead of a new shadow.
510 Added a Calendar widget from Lorne White to the library.
512 Made some fixes to the wxFloatbar. It still has some troubles on
515 Added an MVC tree control from Bryn Keller to the library.
522 This is a quick bug-fix release to take care of a few nasties that
523 crept in at the last minute before 2.1.4 was called done. No new
531 This release is NOT syncronized with a snapshot release of wxGTK or
532 wxMSW. For MSW this isn't much of a problem since you can get the
533 binaries from the web site. For other platforms you'll have to build
534 wxGTK from CVS. (See http://web.ukonline.co.uk/julian.smart/wxwin/cvs.htm)
535 To get the same set of sources from CVS that I used, checkout using
538 Now back to what's new...
540 Much more support for event-less callbacks and add-on modules.
542 Created add-on module with wxOGL classes.
544 Added wxWindow.GetChildren(). Be careful of this. It returns a *copy*
545 of the list of the window's children. While you are using the list if
546 anything changes in the real list (a child is deleted, etc.) then the
547 list you are holding will suddenly have window references to garbage
548 memory and your app will likely crash. But if you are careful it works
551 Added a bunch of new and missing methods to wxTreeCrtl. The
552 SortChildren method is now supported, but currently only for the
555 Added typemaps for wxSize, wxPoint, wxRealPoint, and wxRect that allow
556 either the actual objects or Python sequence values to be used. For
557 example, the following are equivallent:
559 win = wxWindow(parent, size = wxSize(100, 100))
560 win = wxWindow(parent, size = (100, 100))
562 Super-charged the wxHtml module. You can now create your own tag
563 handlers and also have access to the parser and cell classes. There
564 is a tag handler in the library at wxPython.lib.wxpTag that
565 understands the WXP tag and is able to place wxPython windows on HTML
566 pages. See the demo for an example.
568 A bunch of the methods of wxMenuBar were previously ifdef'd out for
569 wxGTK. Added them back in since the methods exist now.
571 Wrapped the wxHtmlHelpController and related classes.
573 Wrapped the C++ versions of wxSizer and friends. The Python-only
574 versions are still in the library, but depreciated. (You will get a
575 warning message if you try to use them, but the warning can be
576 disabled.) The usage of the C++ versions is slightly different, and
577 the functionality of wxBorderSizer is now part of wxBoxSizer. I have
578 added a few methods to wxSizer to try and make the transition as
579 smooth as possible, I combined all Add methods into a single method
580 that handles all cases, added an AddMany method, etc. One step I did
581 not take was to make the default value of flag in the Add method be
582 wxGROW. This would have made it more backward compatible, but less
583 portable to and from wxWin C++ code. Please see the docs and demo for
586 Added wxPyEvent and wxPyCommandEvent classes, derived from wxEvent and
587 wxCommandEvent. Each of them has SetPyData and GetPyData methods that
588 accept or return a single Python object. You can use these classes
589 directly or derive from them to create your own types of event objects
590 that can pass through the wxWindows event system without loosing their
591 Python parts (as long as they are stored with SetPyData.) Stay tuned
592 for more info and examples in future releases.
594 Added wxPython.lib.grids as an example of how to derive a new sizer
595 from the C++ sizers. In this module you will find wxGridSizer and
596 wxFlexGridSizer. wxGridSizer arrainges its items in a grid in which
597 all the widths and heights are the same. wxFlexgridSizer allows
598 different widths and heights, and you can also specify rows and/or
599 columns that are growable. See the demo for a couple examples for how
602 Added the wxValidator class, and created a class named wxPyValidator
603 that should be used for the base class of any Python validators. See
604 the demo for an example. Please note that you MUST implement a Clone
605 method in your validator classes because of the way some things work
606 in the underlying C++ library. I did not add wxTextValidator because
607 of some issues of how it transfers data to and from a wxString, which
608 in wxPython is automatically translated to and from Python strings, so
609 there would never be a concrete wxString that would hang around long
610 enough for the validator to do its job. On the other hand, it should
611 be real easy to duplicate the functionality of wxTextValidator in a
612 pure Python class derived from wxPyValidator.
614 I've finally added a feature that has been on my list for close to two
615 years! Ever wondered what that zero is for when you create your app
616 object? Well now you can leave it out or explicitly set it to a true
617 value. This value now controls what is to be done with sys.stdout and
618 sys.stderr. A false value leaves them alone, and a true value sets
619 them to an instance of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow. (On windows the
620 default is true, on unix platforms the default is false.) This class
621 creates a frame containing a wxTextCtrl as soon as anything is written
622 to sys.stdout or sys.stderr. If you close the window it will come
623 back again the next time something is written. (You can call
624 app.RestoreStdio to turn this off.) If you would rather that the stdio be
625 redirected to a file, you can provide a second parameter to your app
626 object's constructor that is a filename. If you want to use your own
627 class instead of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow you can either implement
628 RedirectStdio() in you app class or change the value of
629 wxApp.outputWindowClass like this:
632 outputWindowClass = MyClass
636 self.SetTopWindow(frame)
639 Please see the implementation of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow and wxApp in
640 wx.py for more details. A few words of caution: if you are running
641 your app in a debugger, changing sys.stdout and sys.stderr is likely
642 to really screw things up.
644 Added wxCaret. Unfortunately it's author has still not documented it
645 in the wxWindows docs...
647 Some new 3rd party contributions in wxPython.lib. PyShell, in
648 shell.py is an interesting implementaion of an interactive Python
649 shell in wxWindows. floatbar.py has a class derived from wxToolBar
650 that can sense mouse drags and then reparent itself into another
651 frame. Moving the new frame close to where it came from puts the tool
652 bar back into the original parent. (Unfortunately there is currently
653 a bug in wxGTK's wxFrame.SetToolBar so the FloatBar has some
662 This release is syncronized with release 2.1 snapshot 9 of wxWindows.
664 Switched to using SWIG from CVS (see http://swig.cs.uchicago.edu/cvs.html)
665 for some of the new features and such. Also they have encorporated my
666 patches so there is really no reason to stick with the current (very
667 old) release... This version of SWIG gives the following new
670 1. Keyword arguments. You no longer have to specify all the
671 parameters with defaults to a method just to specify a
672 non-default value on the end. You can now do this instead:
674 win = wxWindow(parent, -1, style = mystyle)
676 2. There is now an an equivalence between Python's None and C++'s
677 NULL. This means that any methods that might return NULL will
678 now return None and you can use none where wxWindows might be
679 expecting NULL. This makes things much more snake-ish.
682 There is a new build system based on a new Python program instead of
683 raw makefiles. Now wxPython builds are virtually the same on MSW or
684 Unix systems. See the end of this file for new build instructions and
685 see distrib/build.py for more details.
687 wxDC.Bilt now includes the useMask parameter, and has been split into
688 two different versions. wxDC.BlitXY is like what was there before and
689 takes raw coordinants and sizes, and the new wxDC.Blit is for the new
690 interface using wxPoints and a wxSize.
699 Added the missing wxWindow.GetUpdateRegion() method.
701 Made a new change in SWIG (update your patches everybody) that
702 provides a fix for global shadow objects that get an exception in
703 their __del__ when their extension module has already been deleted.
704 It was only a 1 line change in .../SWIG/Modules/pycpp.cxx at about
705 line 496 if you want to do it by hand.
707 It is now possible to run through MainLoop more than once in any one
708 process. The cleanup that used to happen as MainLoop completed (and
709 prevented it from running again) has been delayed until the wxc module
710 is being unloaded by Python.
712 I fixed a bunch of stuff in the C++ version of wxGrid so it wouldn't
713 make wxPython look bad.
715 wxWindow.PopupMenu() now takes a wxPoint instead of x,y. Added
716 wxWindow.PopupMenuXY to be consistent with some other methods.
718 Added wxGrid.SetEditInPlace and wxGrid.GetEditInPlace.
720 You can now provide your own app.MainLoop method. See
721 wxPython/demo/demoMainLoop.py for an example and some explaination.
723 Got the in-place-edit for the wxTreeCtrl fixed and added some demo
724 code to show how to use it.
726 Put the wxIcon constructor back in for GTK as it now has one that
729 Added wxGrid.GetCells
731 Added wxSystemSettings static methods as functions with names like
732 wxSystemSettings_GetSystemColour.
734 Removed wxPyMenu since using menu callbacks have been depreciated in
735 wxWindows. Use wxMenu and events instead.
737 Added alternate wxBitmap constructor (for MSW only) as
738 wxBitmapFromData(data, type, width, height, depth = 1)
740 Added a helper function named wxPyTypeCast that can convert shadow
741 objects of one type into shadow objects of another type. (Like doing
742 a down-cast.) See the implementation in wx.py for some docs.
744 Fixed wxImage GetData and SetData to properly use String objects for
747 Added access methods to wxGridEvent.
749 New Makefile/Setup files supporting multiple dynamic extension modules
752 Fixes for the wxGLCanvas demo to work around a strange bug in gtk.
754 SWIG support routines now compiled separately instead of being bundled
763 Fixed wxComboBox.SetSelection so that it actually sets the selected
764 item. (Actually just removed it from wxPython and let it default to
765 wxChoice.SetSelection which was already doing the right thing.)
767 Added the Printing Framework.
769 Switched back to using the wxWindows DLL for the pre-built Win32
770 version. The problem was needing to reinitialize static class info
771 data after loading each extension module.
773 Lots of little tweaks and additions to reflect changes to various
776 Fixed a bug with attaching objects to tree items. Actually was a
777 symptom of a larger problem with not obtaining the interpreter lock
778 when doing any Py_DECREFs.
780 wxSizer and friends. Sizers are layout tools that manage a colection
781 of windows and sizers. Different types of sizers apply different
782 types of layout algorithms. You saw it here first! These classes are
783 not even in the wxWindows C++ library yet!
789 Bug fix for ListCtrl in test4.py (Was a missing file... DSM!)
791 Bug fix for occassional GPF on Win32 systems upon termination of a
792 wxPython application.
794 Added wxListBox.GetSelections returning selections as a Tuple.
796 Added a wxTreeItemData that is able to hold any Python object and be
797 associated with items in a wxTreeCtrl. Added test pytree.py to show
800 Added wxSafeYield function.
802 OpenGL Canvas can be optionally compiled in to wxPython.
804 Awesome new Demo Framework for showing off wxPython and for learning
807 The pre-built Win32 version is no longer distributing the wxWindows
808 DLL. It is statically linked with the wxWindows library instead.
810 Added a couple missing items from the docs.
812 Added wxImage, wxImageHandler, wxPNGHandler, wxJPEGHandler,
813 wxGIFHandler and wxBMPHandler.
815 Added new methods to wxTextCtrl.
817 Fixed some problems with how SWIG was wrapping some wxTreeCtrl
824 Support for using Python threads in wxPython apps.
826 Several missing methods from various classes.
834 Added DLG_PNT and DLG_SZE convienience methods to wxWindow class.
836 Added missing constructor and other methods for wxMenuItem.
842 Just a quickie update to fix the self-installer to be compatible with
843 Python 1.5.2b2's Registry settings.
848 Well obviously the numbering scheme has changed. I did this to
849 reflect the fact that this truly is the second major revision of
850 wxPython, (well the third actually if you count the one I did for
851 wxWindows 1.68 and then threw away...) and also that it is associated
852 with the 2.0 version of wxWindows.
854 I have finally started documenting wxPython. There are several pages
855 in the wxWindows documentation tree specifically about wxPython, and I
856 have added notes within the class references about where and how wxPython
857 diverges from wxWindows.
859 Added wxWindow_FromHWND(hWnd) for wxMSW to construct a wxWindow from a
860 window handle. If you can get the window handle into the python code,
861 it should just work... More news on this later.
863 Added wxImageList, wxToolTip.
865 Re-enabled wxConfig.DeleteAll() since it is reportedly fixed for the
868 As usual, some bug fixes, tweaks, etc.
874 Added wxSashWindow, wxSashEvent, wxLayoutAlgorithm, etc.
876 Various cleanup, tweaks, minor additions, etc. to maintain
877 compatibility with the current wxWindows.
883 Changed the import semantics from "from wxPython import *" to "from
884 wxPython.wx import *" This is for people who are worried about
885 namespace pollution, they can use "from wxPython import wx" and then
886 prefix all the wxPython identifiers with "wx."
888 Added wxTaskbarIcon for wxMSW.
890 Made the events work for wxGrid.
894 Added wxMiniFrame for wxGTK.
896 Changed many of the args and return values that were pointers to gdi
897 objects to references to reflect changes in the wxWindows API.
899 Other assorted fixes and additions.
907 wxPython on wxGTK works!!! Both dynamic and static on Linux and
908 static on Solaris have been tested. Many thanks go to Harm
909 <H.v.d.Heijden@phys.tue.nl> for his astute detective work on tracking
910 down a nasty DECREF bug. Okay so I have to confess that it was just a
911 DSM (Dumb Stupid Mistake) on my part but it was nasty none the less
912 because the behavior was so different on different platforms.
914 The dynamicly loaded module on Solaris is still segfaulting, so it
915 must have been a different issue all along...
922 1. Worked on wxGTK compatibility. It is partially working. On a
923 Solaris/Sparc box wxPython is working but only when it is statically
924 linked with the Python interpreter. When built as a dyamically loaded
925 extension module, things start acting weirdly and it soon seg-faults.
926 And on Linux both the statically linked and the dynamically linked
927 version segfault shortly after starting up.
929 2. Added Toolbar, StatusBar and SplitterWindow classes.
931 3. Varioius bug fixes, enhancements, etc.
