Recent Changes for wxPython
=====================================================================
-2.5.1.6
+
+2.5.2.8
+-------
+
+Predominantly a bug-fix release.
+
+ * Fixed fatal error due to improper wrapping of wx.FSFile.
+
+ * Fixed return type of EditableListBox.GetListCtrl
+
+ * Give generic tree and list controls a DoGetBestSize so they play
+ nicer with sizers when there is no minimal size.
+
+ * Some tweaks in the demo and samples to correct layout, some
+ flicker problems, and namespace use.
+
+ * Add wx.Image.ConvertAlphaToMask
+
+ * Minor corrections in wx.lib.dialogs
+
+ * wx.FileHistory constructor now accepts the documented 2nd
+ parameter.
+
+ * Corrections for exceptions in the new ogl
+
+ * Fixed XRCed to not use reparenting of windows to implement caching
+ of property panels, since Reparent on wxMac is not implemented.
+
+ * Add support for wxTAB_TRAVERSAL to the XRC handler for
+ wxScrolledWindow.
+
+ * Add support for all wxListBox styles to the XRC handler for
+ wxCheckListBox.
+
+ * Fix for wx.Listbook.DeleteAllPages to really delete everything.
+
+ * wxGTK2 now supports alpha blended bitmap drawing
+
+ * Made wx.grid.Grid play nicer with sizers.
+
+ * etc.
+
+
+
+
+2.5.2.7
-------
wx.ADJUST_MINSIZE is now the default behaviour for window items in
-sizers. This means that the item's GetAdjustedBestSize will be called
-when calculating layout and the return value from that will be used
-for the minimum size. Added wx.FIXED_MINSIZE flag for when you would
-like the old behavior but you should only need it when your desired
-size is smaller than the item's GetBestSize. When a window is added
-to a sizer it's initial size, if any, is set as the window's minimal
-size using SetSizeHints if there isn't already a minimal size.
+sizers. This means that the item's GetMinSize and/or GetBestSize will
+be called when calculating layout and the return value from that will
+be used for the minimum size used by the sizer. The wx.FIXED_MINSIZE
+flag was added that will cause the sizer to use the old behaviour in
+that it will *not* call the window's methods to determine the new best
+size, instead the minsize that the window had when added to the sizer
+(or the size the window was created with) will always be used. Please
+see the Sizers section in the Migration Guide for more details.
+
+Added new MaskedEditControl code from Will Sadkin. The modules are
+now locaed in their own sub-package, wx.lib.masked. Demos updated.
+
+The changes that implemented the incompatible wx.DC methods in 2.5.1.5
+have been reverted. The wx.DC methods are now compatible with the 2.4
+implemetation. In addition a set of renamed methods have been added
+that take wx.Point and/or wx.Size objects instead of individual
+parameters.
+
+Added wx.lib.mixins.listctrl.TextEditMixin, a mixin class that allows
+all columns of a wx.ListCtrl in report mode to be edited.
+
+Deprecated the wx.iewin module.
+
+Deprecated the wx.Sizer.AddWindow, AddSizer, AddSpacer methods as well
+as their Insert* and Prepend* counterparts.
+
+Added a generic StaticBitmap class in wx.lib.statbmp for the same
+reasons that stattext was created, so it could be mouse sensitive on
+all platforms like normal windows. Also updated stattext.py and
+buttons.py to handle attribute (font & colour) defaults and
+inheritance the new way. If you have custom controls of your own you
+should review stattxt.py or one of the others to see how it is to be
+done.
+
+wx.InitAllImageHandlers is now an empty function that does nothing but
+exist for backwards compatibility. The C++ version is now called
+automatically when wxPython is initialized. Since all the handlers
+are included in the wxWidgets shared library anyway, this imposes only
+a very small amount of overhead and removes several unneccessary
+problems.
+
+Replaced wx/lib/pubsub.py with a version that uses weak references to
+track the subscribers, plus other fixes/additions. Thanks go to
+Oliver Schoenborn and Robb Shecter.
+
+wxGTK now uses gtk_init_check so wxPython can raise an exception if
+there is no DISPLAY available or other initializaion problem.
+
+wx.GetKeyState now has an implementation for wxGTK and is able to
+detect the up/down or toggle state of modifier and toggle keys.
+
+The LC_NUMERIC locale is now reset back to "C" (compatibility) when
+running on wxGTK to work around the fact that GTK requires the locale
+to be set to the system settings but Python depends on LC_NUMERIC
+remaining compatible with "C".
+
+Switched gizmos.TreeListCtrl to the newer version of the code from the
+wxCode project.
+
+OGL is dead! LONG LIVE OGL! (Oops, sorry. A bit of my dramatic side
+leaked out there...) The wx.ogl module has been deprecated in favor
+of the new Python port of the OGL library located at wx.lib.ogl
+contributed by Pierre Hjälm. This will hopefully greatly extend the
+life of OGL within wxPython by making it more easily maintainable and
+less prone to getting rusty as there seems to be less and less
+interest in maintaining the C++ version. At this point there are just
+a couple minor known compatibility differences, please see the
+MigrationGuide_ file for details.
+
+.. _MigrationGuide: MigrationGuide.html
+
+EVT_STC_POSCHANGED has been removed as it has been deprecated in
+Scintilla for several releases now.
+
+All the Window and GDI (pen, bitmap, etc.) class constructors and also
+many toplevel functions and static methods will now check that a
+wx.App object has already been created and will raise a
+wx.PyNoAppError exception if not.
+
+Added more default args as needed to allow most window types to be
+constructed with only the parent window arg. In some cases other args
+may be required for normal operation, but they can usually be set
+after construction.
+
+Removed the deprecated ErrorDialogs and PythonBitmaps modules. If you
+were using these in your apps then please join wxPython-dev and assist
+with a more modern reimplementation.
+
+Added a new version (0.8.3) of FloatCanvas from Chris Barker. It's now
+in a subpackage of wx.lib.
+
+It is now possible to change the tab traversal order of controls on a
+panel or dialog. For details see the new MoveAfterInTabOrder and
+MoveBeforeInTabOrder methods of wx.Window.
+
+Applied (and heavily modified) a patch from Eugene
+<svip123@fastmail.fm> that allows the sample modules in the demo to be
+edited and reloaded, all from within the demo. You can switch back
+and forth between the default and your edited version, and any errors
+ocurring upon the reload are reported on the Demo tab.
+
+Added a menu item in the demo that will open a PyShell window that has
+the app and demo frame preloaded in the namespace. This is another
+good way to explore and play with the objects in the currently running
+sample. For example, load the Button sample and then do the following
+in the PyShell::
+
+ >>> b = frame.demoPage.GetChildren()[0]
+ >>> for x in range(0, 500, 10):
+ ... b.Move((x, 50))
+ ... app.Yield(True)
+ ... wx.MilliSleep(10)

2.5.1.5
There are some big changes in the OS X disk image. The actual
Installer package now *only* installs the wxMac dynlibs, wxPython
-extension modules and Python pacakges, and also the command-line tool
+extension modules and Python packages, and also the command-line tool
scripts. The remaining items (demo, samples, and application bundles
for the Demo, PyCrust and XRCed) are now top-level items in the disk
image (.dmg file) that users can just drag and drop to wherever they
