----------------------------------------------------------------------
+2.3.3
+-----
+Added wxSplashScreen.
+
+Added wxGenericDirCtrl.
+
+Added wxMultiChoiceDialog.
+
+The calltip window and autocomplete window in wxSTC will now use a
+wxPopupWindow if available so they can extend beyond the client area
+of the STC if needed.
+
+Finished wrapping and providing typemaps for wxInputStream and also
+added the stream ctor and other methods for wxImage so images can now
+be loaded from any Python "file-like" object.
+
+Changed the img2py tool to use PNG instead of XPM for embedding image
+data in Python source code, and the generated code now uses streams to
+convert the image data to wxImage, wxBitmap, or wxIcon.
+
+Added the wxPython.lib.rcsizer module which contains RowColSizer.
+This sizer is based on code from Niki Spahiev and lets you specify a
+row and column for each item, as well as optional column or row
+spanning. Cells with no item assigned to it are just left blank.
+Stretchable rows or columns are specified and work the same as in
+wxFlexGridSizer.
+
+Updated XRCed from Roman Rolinsky
+
+Added wxBufferedDC.
+
+Upgraded wxSTC from Scintilla 1.40 to Scintilla 1.45
+
+UNICODE!
+
+ wxWindows/wxPython can be compiled with unicode support enabled or
+ disabled. Previous to wxPython 2.3.3 non-unicode mode was always
+ used. Starting with 2.3.3 either mode is supported, but only if
+ it is also available in wxWindow on the platform. Currently
+ wxWindows only supports unicode on MS Windows platforms, but with
+ the recent release of GTK+ 2.0 it is only a matter of time until
+ it can be done on wxGTK (Linux and other unixes) as well.
+
+ Unicode works best on platforms in the NT branch of the Windows
+ family tree (NT, win2k, XP) but it is now also possible to use the
+ same unicode binaries on win95/98/ME platforms as well! This is
+ done by using a special library and DLL in the application called
+ MSLU, (Microsoft Layer for Unicode). It simply gets out of the
+ way if the app is run on an NT box, or if run on a win9x box it
+ loads a special DLL that provides the unicode versions of the
+ windows API. So far I have not been able to get this to work
+ perfectly on win9x. Most things work fine but wxTaskBarIcon for
+ example will cause a crash if used with the unicode build on
+ win95.
+
+ So how do you use it? It's very simple. When unicode is enabled,
+ then all functions and methods in wxPython that return a wxString
+ from the C++ function will return a Python unicode object, and
+ parameters to C++ functions/methods that expect a wxString can
+ accept either a Python string or unicode object. If a string
+ object is passed then it will be decoded into unicode using the
+ converter pointed to by wxConvCurrent, which will use the default
+ system encoding. If you need to use a string in some other
+ encoding then you should convert it to unicode using the Python
+ codecs first and then pass the unicode string to the wxPython
+ method.
+
+Added wxListCtrlAutoWidthMixin from Erik Westra.
+
+Added wxIconBundle and wxTopLevelWindow.SetIcons.
+
+Added wxLocale and wxEncodingConverter.
+
+A little black magic... When the C++ object (for a window or
+whatever) is deleted there is no way to force the Python shadow object
+to also be destroyed and clean up all references to it. This leads to
+crashes if the shadow object tries to call a method with the old C++
+pointer. The black magic I've done is to replace the __class__ in the
+Python instance object with a class that raises an exception whenever
+a method call (or other attribute access) is attempted. This works
+for any class that is OOR aware.
+
+
+
+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.
+
+
+
+
+2.3.2
+-----
+Added EVT_HELP, EVT_HELP_RANGE, EVT_DETAILED_HELP,
+EVT_DETAILED_HELP_RANGE, EVT_CONTEXT_MENU, wxHelpEvent,
+wxContextMenuEvent, wxContextHelp, wxContextHelpButton, wxTipWindow,
+and a demo to show them in action.
+
+Deprecated PyShell and PyShellWindow, added a snapshot of PyCrust (see
+http://sourceforge.net/projects/pycrust/. )
+
+Added the new virtual list capabilities to wxListCtrl.
+
+Added a wxSTC style editor from Riaan Booysen to the sample apps.
+
+Added XRCed to the wxPython Tools directory, contributed by Roman
+Rolinsky.
+
+Added a new "constructor" to most of the window classes that calls the
+default C++ contructor, (the one with no parameters) and also added the
+coresponding Create(...) method. This allows you to do a 2-step
+creation of windows which is sometimes required for doing things such
+as setting extended style flags before the window is created, or for
+passing the object to the XRC resource system to be created from the
+resource. The name of the new "constructor" is the original name of
+the class with a "Pre" in it. For example, wxPreWindow, wxPreFrame,
+etc.
+
+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.
+
+
+
+
+2.3.1
+-----
+Added EVT_GRID_EDITOR_CREATED and wxGridEditorCreatedEvent so the user
+code can get access to the edit control when it is created, (to push
+on a custom event handler for example.)
+
+Added wxTextAttr class and SetStyle, SetDefaultStyle and
+GetDefaultStyle methods to wxTextCtrl.
+
+Added ability to use xml resource files. Still need to add ability to
+subclass wxXmlResourceHandler, etc...
+
+Added wxGridAutoEditMixin to the mixins library package.
+
+Made ColourSelect be derived from wxButton.
+
+Fixed img2py to work correctly with Python 2.1.
+
+Added enhanced wxVTKRenderWindow by Prabhu Ramachandran
+
+
2.3.0
-----
There is now a wxObject class that most other classes derive from like
in C++, but the methods provided don't really match but are wxPython
-specific. It could have been added long ago but OOR required it.
+specific. It could have been added long ago but OOR required it so it
+finally got done.
Finally added wxPyLineShape.GetLineControlPoints, which has been on my
list for a while. The above OOR modification made this easier.
Added the wxPython.lib.mixins package to the library, it is where
useful mix-in classes can be placed. Currently there is one to help
