+2.3.2.1
+-------
+
+Changed (again) how the Python global interpreter lock is handled as
+well as the Python thread state.  This time it works on SMP machines
+without barfing and is also still compatible with Python debuggers.
+
+Added some patches from library contributors.

+Updated to version 1.40 of Scintilla and updated wxStyledTextCtrl
+accordingly.  While doing this update I dropped the wxLB_SORT style
+from the wxListBox created for the AutoComplete functionality.  This
+means that you will have to sort the keyword lists yourself, but you
+are free to do case sensitive or case insensitive sorts and set the
+wxSTC flag accordingly.
+
+Updated wxColumnSorterMixin to also be able to place sort icons on the
+column headers, and updated the wxListCtrl demo to show it off by
+using wxColumnSorterMixin.
+
+Added wxGenBitmapTextButton, TablePrint, etc. contribs from Lorne White.
+
+Added wxNativeFontInfo and wxFontMapper.
+
+Added pySketch to the samples.
+
+Significantly changed how the Python interpreter lock and thread state
+are managed, which should fix the problem of running on a
+multi-processor machine.
+
+Added wxPyLog so log targets can be created in Python to handle log
+messages however is wished.  See demo/Main.py for an example.
+
+Added wxFindReplaceDialog.
+
+The second phase of OOR is implemented for wxEvtHandler, wxSizer,
+wxShape and derived classes.  This means that functions and methods
+that return an object derived from wxEvtHandler that was originally
+created in Python, will return the original Python object (if it still
+exists) instead of letting SWIG wrap a new shadow object around the
+original C++ pointer.
+
+Added some optimization methods to wxDC: GetBoundingBox, DrawLineList,
+DrawPointList.
+
+Added a set of sophisticated Error Dialogs from Chris Fama.
+
+Added wxRightTextCtrl from Josu Oyanguren to wxPython.lib for aligning
+text in a wxTextCtrl to the right side.
+
+Added wxURLDataObject and an example showing drag and drop of URLs to
+and from web browsers.  It's still not 100% bullet-proof for all types
+of browsers, but it works for the majority of cases with the popular
+browsers on Windows.  On wxGTK it seems that only Netscape 4.x works,
+if anybody has any suggestions about this please bring it up on the
+wx-dev list.
+
+Added wxStopWatch.
+
+Added wxMimeTypesManager and wxFileType.
+
+Passing None for the handler parameter to one of the EVT_** functions
+will now Disconnect the event.
+
+Added wxPopupWindow and wxPopupTransientWindow.
+
+Added wxFileHistory.
+
+Added wxDynamicSashWindow, which allows you to endlessly split windows
+by dragging a little tab next to the scrollbars.  Added a demo to show
+this and also the ability of multiple wxStyledTextCtrls to share the
+same document.
+
+Added wxEditableListBox gizmo.
+
+Updated wxEditor with lots of enhancements from Steve Howell and Adam
+Feuer.
+
+Added the "SplitTree gizmos" which are a collection of classes that
+were designed to operate together and provide a tree control with
+additional columns for each item.  The classes are
+wxRemotelyScrolledTreeCtrl, wxTreeCompanionWindow,
+wxThinSplitterWindow, and wxSplitterScrolledWindow, some of which may
+also be useful by themselves.
+
+Added wxDllWidget from Vaclav Slavik which allows wx widgets derived
+from wxWindow to be loaded from a C++ .dll (or .so) and be used in a
+wxPython program, without the widget having to be SWIGged first.  The
+visible API of the widget is limited to wxWindow methods plus a
+SendCommand method, but it is still quite powerful.  See
+wxPython/contrib/dllwidget and wxPython/demo/dllwidget for more
+details.
