+</blockquote>
+<p>wx.EventLoop is now implemented for wxMac.</p>
+<p>Added wxPython wrappers for the new wx.Treebook and wx.Toolbook
+classes.</p>
+<p>wx.DC.BeginDrawing and EndDrawing have been deprecated in the C++
+code, so since they never really did anything before they are now just
+empty stubs in wxPython.</p>
+<p>Solved a problem that has been around for a very long time in how C++
+methods are virtualized for overriding in derived Python classes.
+Previously we couldn't do it for methods that needed to also exist in
+the base class wrappers such that they could be called normally. (The
+reasons are long and complex, but suffice it to say that it was due to
+mixing C++'s dynamic dispatch, and Python's runtime lookup of the
+method attributes resulting in endless recursion of function calls.)
+Because of this problem I used a hack that I have always hated, and
+that is renaming the base class methods with a "base_*" prefix, for
+example wx.Printout.base_OnBeginDocument. Now that the problem has
+finally been solved I have replaced all the base_Whatever() methods
+with the real Whatever() method as well as a simple wrapper named
+base_Whatever that is marked as deprecated. So now instead of writing
+your overridden methods like this:</p>
+<pre class="literal-block">
+def OnBeginDocument(self, start, end):
+ # do something here
+ return self.base_OnBeginDocument(start, end)
+</pre>
+<p>You can now call the base class method the normal way, like this:</p>
+<pre class="literal-block">
+def OnBeginDocument(self, start, end):
+ # do something here
+ return Printout.OnBeginDocument(self, start, end)
+</pre>
+<p>Or like this with super():</p>
+<pre class="literal-block">
+def OnBeginDocument(self, start, end):
+ # do something here
+ return super(MyPrintout, self).OnBeginDocument(start, end)
+</pre>
+<p>Note that the old way with the "base_*" function still works, but you
+will get a DeprecationWarning from calling base_OnBeginDocument. The
+classes affected by this are:</p>
+<blockquote>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>wx.DropSource</li>
+<li>wx.DropTarget</li>
+<li>wx.TextDropTarget</li>
+<li>wx.FileDropTarget</li>
+<li>wx.PyLog (also added the ability to override Flush)</li>
+<li>wx.PyApp (also added the ability to override ExitMainLoop)</li>
+<li>wx.Printout</li>
+<li>wx.PyPrintPreview</li>

+<li>wx.wizard.PyWizardPage</li>
+</ul>
+</blockquote>
+<p>Added the wx.DC.GradientFillConcentric and wx.DC.GradientFillLinear
+methods.</p>
+<p>wxGTK: wx.ListBox and wx.CheckListBox are now using native GTK2
+widgets.</p>
+<p>Added wx.ListBox.HitTest() from patch 1446207</p>
+<p>Bumped up to SWIG 1.3.29. This provides some more runtime performance
+boosts, gets rid of the dreaded Ptr classes, and some other nice new
+things.</p>
+<p>Added wx.Window.GetScreenPosition and GetScreenRect which returns the
+position of the window in screen coordinates, even if the window is
+not a top-level window.</p>
+<p>Added GetResourcesDir and GetLocalizedResourcesDir to
+wx.StandardPaths.</p>
+<p>Added a GetReceivedFormat method to wx.DataObjectComposite. You can
+use this to find out what format of data object was recieved from the
+source of the clipboard or DnD operation, and then you'll know which
+of the component data objects to use to access the data.</p>
+<p>Changed how the stock objects (wx.RED, wx.RED_PEN, wx.RED_BRUSH, etc.)
+are initialized. They are now created as uninitialized instances
+using __new__. Then after the wx.App has been created, but before
+OnInit is called, the .this attribute of each obhect is initialized.
+This was needed because of some delayed initialization functionality
+that was implemented in wxWidgets, but the end result is cleaner for
+wxPython as well, and allowed me to remove some ugly code previously
+hidden under the covers.</p>
+<p>Added wx.StandardPaths.GetDocumentsDir.</p>
+<p>Added wx.RendererNative.DrawCheckButton.</p>
+<p>wx.ProgressDialog.Update now returns a tuple of two values. The first
+is a continue flag (what was returned before) and the second is a skip
+flag. If the dialog has the wx.PD_CAN_SKIP flag and if the Skip
+button is clicked, then the skip flag is set to True the next time
+Update is called.</p>
+<p>A DeprecationWarning is now issued when the old wxPython package is
+imported. If you are still using the old namespace please convert
+your code to use the new wx package instead.</p>
+<p>Added wrappers for Julian's new wxRichTextCtrl class, visible in
+wxPython as wx.richtext.RichTextCtrl window. It still needs some more
+work, but it is a great start.</p>
+<p>wx.lib.mixins.listctrl.TextEditMixin: Fixed the double END_LABEL_EDIT
+event problem in TextEditMixin by checking if the editor was already
+hidden before continuing with the CloseEditor method. Also added code
+to OpenEditor to send the BEGIN_LABEL_EDIT event and to not allow the
+opening of the editor to continue if the event handler doesn't allow
+it.</p>
+<p>wx.StaticBoxSizer now keeps better track of the wx.StaticBox, and it
+will destroy it if the sizer is destroyed before the parent window is.</p>
+<p>Added wx.HyperlinkCtrl.</p>
+<p>Added battery and power related functions and events (wxMSW only so
+far.) See wx.PowerEvent, wx.GetPowerType and wx.GetBatteryState.</p>
+<p>Added wx.ListCtrl.HitTestSubItem which returns the sub-item (i.e. the
+column in report mode) that was hit (if any) in addition to the item
+and flags.</p>
+<p>Added wrappers for wx.ColourPickerCtrl, wx.DirPickerCtrl,
+wx.FilePickerCtrl, and wx.FontPickerCtrl.</p>
+<p>Patch #1502016 wx.Image.ConvertToGreyscale now retains the alpha
+channel.</p>
+<p>Added wrappers for the wxAUI classes, in the wx.aui module.</p>
+<p>Added the PseudoDC class from Paul Lanier. It provides a way to
+record operations on a DC and then play them back later.</p>
+<p>Upgraded to Scintilla 1.70 for wx.stc.StyledTextCtrl.</p>
+<p>Added CanSetTransparent and SetTransparent methods to the
+wx.TopLevelWindow class, with implementations (so far) for wxMSW and
+wxMac.</p>
+<p>SetDefaultItem() and GetDefaultItem() are now members of
+wx.TopLevelWindow, not wx.Panel.</p>
+<p>wxGTK: Stock items (icons) will be used for menu items with stock
+IDs.</p>
+<p>Added wx.lib.combotreebox from Frank Niessink</p>
+<p>Added wx.ImageFromBuffer, wx.BitmapFromBuffer and
+wx.BitmapFromBufferRGBA factory functions. They enable loading of an
+image or bitmap directly from a Python object that implements the
+buffer interface, such as strings, arrays, etc.</p>
+<p>Added wx.App.IsDisplayAvailable() which can be used to determine if a
+GUI can be created in the current environment. (Still need an
+implementation for wxMSW...)</p>
+<p>The wx.html.HTML_FONT_SIZE_x constants are no longer available as the
+default sizes are now calculated at runtime based on the size of the
+normal GUI font.</p>
+<p>wx.Colour now includes an alpha component, which defaults to
+wx.ALPHA_OPAQUE. This is in preparation for allowing various new
+alpha blening functionality using wx.Colour objects, such as drawing
+with pens and brushes on a wx.DC.</p>
+<p>Added wx.NativePixelBuffer, wx.AlphPixelBuffer and related iterator
+and accessor classes. They allow platform independent direct access
+to the platform specific pixel buffer inside of a wx.Bitmap object.</p>
+<p>The beginnings of support for RTL languages has been added, thanks to
+a Google SoC project.</p>
+<p>Added wx.lib.dragscroller from Riaan Booysen. It provides a helper
+class that can used to scroll a wx.ScrolledWindow in response to a
+mouse drag.</p>
+<p>Applied patch 1551409: Adds support for indeterminate mode gauges.</p>
+<p>wxMac: I've turned on the compile option for using the native toolbar
+on the Mac now that it supports hosting of controls. If the toolbar
+is managed by the frame via either CreateToolBar() or SetToolBar()
+then the native toolbar will be used. Additional toolbars, or
+toolbars that are not children of the frame, are managed by sizers or
+what-not will still use the emulated toolbar because of platform
+restrictions in how/where the native toolbar can be used.</p>
+<p>Added Python properties for many of the getter/setter methods of wx
+classes. In order for the names to be predicatble for somebody
+already familiar with wxPython the property names are simply the name
+of the getter with the "Get" dropped. For example, wx.Window has a
+property named "Size" that maps to GetSize and SetSize. So far there
+is only one known name conflict using this naming convention, and that
+is wx.KeyEvent.KeyCode, however since KeyCode was formerly a
+compatibility alias for GetKeyCode (and has been for a long time) it
+was decided to just switch it to a property. If you want to use the
+method then change your calls to event.KeyCode() to
+event.GetKeyCode(), otherwise you can use it as a property just by
+dropping the parentheses.</p>
+<p>Updated the C++ code for wx.gizmos.TreeListCtrl from the wxCode
+project. This has resulted in some minor API changes, most of which
+were worked around in the wrapper code.</p>
+<p>Added wx.lib.delayedresult from Oliver Schoenborn.</p>
+<p>Added wx.lib.expando, a multi-line textctrl that exands as more lines
+are needed.</p>
+<p>wx.Image.Scale and Rescale methods now take an extra parameter
+specifying type of method to use for resampling the image. It
+defaults to the current behavior of just replicating pixels, if
+wx.IMAGE_QUALITY_HIGH is passed then it uses bicubic and box averaging
+resampling methods for upsampling and downsampling respectively.</p>
+<p>Added the wx.lib.buttonpanel module, which is a tweaked version of
+Andrea Gavana's FancyButtonPanel module.</p>
+<p>Added the wx.lib.flatnotebook module, from Andrea Gavana.</p>
+<p>Renamed wx.FutureCall to wx.CallLater so it is named more like
+wx.CallAfter. wx.FutureCall is now an empty subclass of wx.CallLater
+for compatibility of older code.</p>
+<p>Added the wx.lib.customtreectrl the from Andrea Gavana.</p>
+<p>Added ChangeSelection to wx.BookCtrl (the base class for wx.Notebook
+and other book controls) that is the same as SetSelection but doesn't
+send the change events.</p>
+<p>Added wx.TextCtrl.ChangeValue() which is the same as SetValue() but
+doesn't send the text changed event.</p>
+<p>For consistency, all classes having an Ok() method now also have
+IsOk(), use of the latter form is preferred although the former hasn't
+been deprecated yet</p>
+<p>Added the wx.AboutBox() function and wx.AboutDialogInfo class. They
+provide a way to show a standard About box for the application, which
+will either be a native dialog or a generic one depending on what info
+is provided and if it can all be shown with the native dialog.</p>
+<p>The code in the animate contrib has been moved into the code wxWidgets
+library, and refactored a bit along the way. For wxPython it still
+exists in the wx.animate module, but has basically been reduced to two
+classes, wx.animate.Animation, and wx.animate.AnimationCtrl. You load
+the animated GIF (and hopefully there will be other supported formats
+in the near future) in the Animation object, and then give that to the
+AnimatedCtrl for display. See the demo for an example. There is also
+still a GIFAnimationCtrl class that provides some level of backwards
+compatibility with the old implementation.</p>
+<p>wxMac: The compile option that turns on the use of CoreGraphics (a.k.a
+Quartz) for wxDC is now turned on by default. This means that all
+drawing via wxDC is done using the new APIs from apple, instead of the
+old Quick Draw API. There are, however, a few places where Quartz and
+wxDC don't fit together very well, mainly the lack of support for
+logical drawing operations such as XOR, but there is work in progress
+to provide other ways to do the same sort of thing that will work with
+Quartz and also on the other platforms.</p>
+<p>The first parts of a new 2D drawing API has been added with the
+wx.GraphicsPath and wx.GraphicsContext classes. They wrap GDI+ on
+Windows, Cairo on wxGTK and CoreGraphics on OS X. They allow path-based
+drawing with alpha-blending and anti-aliasing, and use a floating
+point cooridnate system. Currently they can only target drawing to
+windows, but other wx.DC backends are forthcoming. The APIs may
+evolve a bit more before they are finalaized with the 2.8 release, but
+there is enough there now to get a good feel for how things will work.
+There is also a transitional wx.GCDC class that provides the wx.DC API
+on top of wx.GraphicsContext. Docs and a demo are still MIA.</p>
+<p>Added a wx.AutoBufferedPaintDC that is a subclass of wx.PaintDC on
+platforms that do double buffering by default, and a subclass of
+wx.BufferedPaintDC on the platforms that don't. You can use this
+class to help avoid the overhead of buffering when it is not
+needed. There is also a wx.AutoBufferedPaintDCFactory function that
+does a little more and actually tests if the window has
+double-buffering enabled and then decides whether to return a
+wx.PaintDC or wx.BufferedPaintDC. This uses the new
+wx.Window.IsDoubleBuffered method.</p>

+<p>Fixed reference leak in wx.gizmos.TreeListCtrl.GetSelections.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Fixed sizing issue with wx.Choice and wx.ComboBox. This change

+<p>Change the wx.ListCtrl InsertStringItem wrapper to use the form that
+takes an imageIndex, and set the default to -1. This ensures that on
+wxMSW that if there is an image list but they don't specify an image,
+the native control doesn't use one anyway.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: wx.ListCtrl in report mode is now able to support images in
+other columns besides the first one. Simply pass an image index to
+SetStringItem. For virtual list controls you can specify the image to
+use on the extra columns by overriding OnGetItemColumnImage in your
+derived class. It is passed the item number and the column number as
+parameters, and the default version simply calls OnGetItemImage for
+column zero, or returns -1 for other columns.</p>
+<p>Switched to using SWIG 1.3.27 for generating the wrapper code. There
+are some small changes needed to SWIG to work around some bugs that
+wxPython exposes, and to be able to generate code that matches that
+which wxPython is using. If you are building wxPython yourself and
+need to modify any of the *.i files or to add your own, then you will
+want to be sure to use a matching SWIG. See wxPython/SWIG/README.txt
+in the source tarball for details.</p>
+<p>wx.Image.Copy, Mirror, and GetSubImage now also do the right thing
+with the alpha channel.</p>

+correctly if an extra row is removed or added.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: On XP fall back to unthemed wxNotebook if specified orientation
+not available in the themed version.</p>

+<p>XRCed changes from Roman Rolinsky:</p>
+<blockquote>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>Added new controls (Choicebook, Listbook, StatusBar,

+defined. Better handling of exceptions (highlighting does not
+'stick' anymore).</li>
+<li>Use system clipboard for Copy/Paste.</li>

+<li>In the stand alone PyCrust app the various option settings,
+window size and position, and etc. are saved and restored at the
+next run.</li>
+<li>Added a help dialog bound to the F1 key that shows the key
+bindings.</li>
+<li>Added a new text completion function that suggests words from
+the history. Bound to Shift-Return.</li>
+<li>F11 will toggle the maximized state of the frame.</li>
+<li>switched to Bind() from wx.EVT_*().</li>
+<li>Display of line numbers can be toggled.</li>
+<li>F12 toggles a "free edit" mode of the shell buffer. This mode
+is useful, for example, if you would like to remove some output
+or errors or etc. from the buffer before doing a copy/paste.
+The free edit mode is designated by the use of a red,
+non-flashing caret.</li>
+<li>Ctrl-Shift-F will fold/unfold (hide/show) the selected lines.</li>
+<li>General code cleanup and fixes.</li>
+<li>Use wx.StandardPaths to determine the location of the config
+files.</li>
+<li>Use wx.SP_LIVE_UPDATE on crust and filling windows.</li>
+<li>Extended the saving of the config info and other new features to
+the PyShell app too. Additionally, other apps that embed a
+PyCrust or a PyShell can pass their own wx.Config object and
+have the Py code save/restore its settings to/from there.</li>
+<li>All of the classes with config info get an opportunity to
+save/load their own settings instead of putting all the
+save/load code in one place that then has to reach all over the
+place to do anything.</li>
+<li>Enable editing of the startup python code, which will either be
+the file pointed to by PYTHONSTARTUP or a file in the config dir
+if PYTHONSTARTUP is not set in the environment.</li>
+<li>Added an option to skip the running of the startup code when
+PyShell or PyCrust starts.</li>
+<li>PyCrust adds a pp(item) function to the shell's namespace that
+pretty prints the item in the Display tab of the notebook.
+Added code to raise that tab when pp() is called.</li>
+<li>Added an option for whether to insert text for function
+parameters when popping up the call tip.</li>
+<li>Added Find and Find-Next functions that use the
+wx.FindReplaceDialog.</li>
+</ul>
+</blockquote>
+<p>Applied patches from Will Sadkin for wx.lib.masked modules:</p>
+<blockquote>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>Now ignores kill focus events when being destroyed.</li>
+<li>Added missing call to set insertion point on changing fields.</li>
+<li>Modified SetKeyHandler() to accept None as means of removing
+one.</li>
+<li>Fixed keyhandler processing for group and decimal character
+changes.</li>
+<li>Fixed a problem that prevented input into the integer digit of a
+integerwidth=1 numctrl, if the current value was 0.</li>
+<li>Fixed logic involving processing of "_signOk" flag, to remove
+default sign key handlers if false, so that
+SetAllowNegative(False) in the NumCtrl works properly.</li>
+<li>Fixed selection logic for numeric controls so that if
+selectOnFieldEntry is true, and the integer portion of an
+integer format control is selected and the sign position is
+selected, the sign keys will always result in a negative value,
+rather than toggling the previous sign.</li>
+</ul>
+</blockquote>
+<p>wx.FontMapper.SetConfig is deprecated. You should instead just set an
+application-wide config object with wx.Config.Set, which wx.FontMapper
+will use by default.</p>
+<p>Added wx.GetMouseState which returns the current state of the mouse.
+It returns an instance of a wx.MouseState object that contains the
+current position of the mouse pointer in screen coordinants, as well
+as boolean values indicating the up/down status of the mouse buttons
+and the modifier keys.</p>
+<p>Added wx.SizerItem.SetUserData</p>
+<p>A variety of updates to wx.lib.floatcanvas, including Added
+DrawObjects, including a ScaledTextBox, with auto-wrapping, etc, and
+Scaled and Unscaled Bitmap Objects.</p>
+<blockquote>
+WARNING: Changed all DrawObjects to take an (x,y) pair rather
+than individual x,y parameters. Also changed rectangles and
+ellipses to take (w,h) pair. This is an API change, but should
+be easy to accommodate, all you need to do is add a parenthesis
+pair: (...x, y, ...) ---> (...(x,y), ...)</blockquote>

+<p>wx.ListCtrl: patch #1210352, fixes editing in generic wx.ListCtrl with
+wx.LC_EDIT_LABELS.</p>
+<p>Applied patch #208286, MediaCtrl DirectShow rewrite.</p>
+<p>DocView patches from Morgan Hua: bug fixes, and additional SVN
+commands, also added a default template that uses the text editor for
+any unknown file type.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Use the system IDC_HAND cursor for wx.CURSOR_HAND and only fallback
+to the strange wxWidgets version if the system one is not available.</p>
+<p>wx.grid.Grid: Merge the cell size attribute the same way that other
+attributes are merged, e.g., if it is already set to a non-default
+value in the current GridCellAttr object then don't merge from the
+other.</p>
+<p>wx.lib.evtmgr: Fixed to use wx._core._wxPyDeadObject</p>
+<p>wx.lib.gridmovers: Don't scroll when the mouse is dragged outside of
+the grid, unless the mouse is kept in motion.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Applied patch #1213290 incorrect logic in
+wx.TopLevelWindow.ShowFullScreen.</p>
+<p>Applied patch #1213066 correct device names for Joystick in Linux.</p>
+<p>wxGTK: Applied patch #1207162 wx.TextCtrl.SetStyle fix for overlapping
+calls.</p>
+<p>wx.FileConfig: fixed DeleteEntry to set the dirty flag properly so the
+change will get written at the next flush.</p>

+<h1><a id="id7" name="id7">2.6.0.1</a></h1>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>30-May-2005</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Added wx.BrushFromBitmap to create a stippled brush in a single step.
+Also added missing brysh style flags: wx.STIPPLE_MASK
+wx.STIPPLE_MASK_OPAQUE.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Fix for default control colours when the system text fg colour
+is not black.</p>
+<p>wxGTK: Patch #1171754, It is now possible to have a menu item that
+both has an icon and is a submenu.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Patch #1197009, better refreshes when windows are moved and
+resized.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Patch #1197468. Keeps track of pending size/position changes
+in case there is more than one adjustment for a window in a single
+DeferWindowPos set, then the pending values can be used for defaults
+instead of current values.</p>
+<p>Fixed the typemap that converts a Python list of strings to a
+wxArrayString so it uses the wxPython default encoding.</p>
+<p>Several docstrings added and updated. Lots more to go.</p>
+<p>wxMac: Strings added to the clipboard or used in DnD no longer have an
+extra null character at the end.</p>
+<p>Added wx.GetXDisplay that returns a raw swigified pointer for the X11
+Display, or None for the non-X11 platforms.</p>
+<p>wxMenu: Don't send an event when selecting an already selected radio
+item.</p>
+<p>Added wx.LaunchDefaultBrowser.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Fixed erroneous selection of content in wx.ComboBox when within
+a wx.StaticBox.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Fixed alpha blitting to take into account source position.</p>
+<p>Ensure that Python is still in an initialized state before doing any
+locking or unlocking in wxPyBeginBlockThreads and wxPyEndBlockThreads
+as these can be triggered after Python has been finalized in embedding
+situations.</p>
+<p>Added alternate constructors for wx.Font: wx.FontFromPixelSize,
+wx.FFont, wx.FFontFromPixelSize. See the docstrings or new api docs
+for details.</p>
+<p>Added wx.lib.hyperlink from Andrea Gavana. It is a control like
+static text that acts like a hyper-link, launching the system's
+default browser in response to the clicks.</p>
+<p>Added an optional parameter to wxversion.select that allows you to
+specify that the extra components specified in the version string are
+required. For example, if you ask for "2.6-unicode" but only the ansi
+version is installed then by default the ansi version will be selected
+as it considered close enough since the version numbers match. If you
+want to force the options to be required then you can just add a True
+parameter, like this:</p>
+<pre class="literal-block">
+import wxversion
+wxversion.select("2.6-unicode", True)
+import wx
+</pre>
+<p>Tweaked wx.lib.buttons such that flat buttons (e.g. have no bevel and
+a wx.BORDER_NONE style flag) paint themed backgrounds if there are
+transparent areas and the parent is displaying a theme.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Fix for wrong sash colour of wx.SplitterWindow in the silver
+theme on XP.</p>
+<p>Added a wx.xrc.XmlResourceHandler for the Ticker class. See
+wx/lib/ticker_xrc.py</p>
+<p>wxSTC: Fixed CmdKeyAssign key bindings for Ctrl-Backspace.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Fixed a bug in wx.TextCtrl where all the lines were being used
+to calculate the best size, instead of using a reasonable limit.</p>
+<p>XRCed: Use wx.GetDefaultPyEncoding/wx.SetDefaultPyEncoding for
+changing active encoding. Fixed pasting siblings (Ctrl key pressed
+while pasting).</p>
+<p>wx.lib.filebrowsebutton: Bug fix from Chad Netzer for when
+self.history is None.</p>
+<p>wx.ogl: Patch from Davide Salomoni that adds an optional point
+parameter to LineShape.InsertLineControlPoint allowing one to
+optionally specify where the new control point has to be drawn.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: setting foreground colour for wx.CheckBox now works when using
+XP themes.</p>
+<p>More updates to the docview library modules and sample apps from the
+ActiveGrid folks. Their sample IDE is now able to integrate with
+Subversion.</p>
+<p>wx.grid.Grid: Ensure that the grid gets the focus when it is
+left-clicked. Note that if you have custom widgets that handle the
+EVT_LEFT_DOWN event but do not call event.Skip() then you will
+probably want to add a call to self.SetFocus in the event handler.</p>
+<p>wxGTK: Add wxSTAY_ON_TOP support [Patch 1206023]</p>
+<p>wx.TreeCtrl: wx.EVT_TREE_ITEM_MENU event made consistent on all
+platforms. The location of the click or the item is included in the
+event as well.</p>
+<p>wxGTK: Setting background colour of a window now only affects the
+window itself, not the borders, scrollbars, etc. (Bug #1204069)</p>
+<p>Print framework: Add more paper sizes and code to fallback to an
+explicit paper size if a known paper size is not found for the
+printer.</p>
+<p>wxMac: Applied patch for bug #1206181 Option-key decodes are wrong,
+also applied patch for bug #1205691 Modified Fn keys don't work.</p>
+<p>wx.Image: Fixed to preserve alpha channel in Rotate90 method.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Fixed incorrect background colour on wx.CheckListBox.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Fixed drawing of owner drawn buttons with multiline labels</p>
+<p>Removed a bunch of unnecessary files, and removed or replaced images
+that we're not sure of their origin or license.</p>
+<p>The default DoGetBestSize is updated to not always return the current
+size if the window has no sizer, children, or minsize set. Instead
+the current size is set as the minsize. This solves the occasional
+problem where a sizer may cause a childless panel to grow but never
+shrink.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: When converting a wx.Icon to a bitmap check if the icon has an
+alpha channel and set the bitmap to use it.</p>
+<p>Fixed the wrong class name used in wx.PyScrolledWindow's call to
+_setCallbackInfo.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: patch #1207202, Fixes GDI leak when using stock cursors.</p>
+<p>wx.calendar.CalendarCtrl: Patch #1207531, Keeps the CalendarCtrl wide
+enough even when the weekday names for the locale are shorter than
+usual.</p>
+<p>Made GridCellNumberEditor.StartingKey also insert the typed char when
+there is a range of allowed values (so a wx.SpinCtrl is used instead
+of a wx.TextCtrl.)</p>
