 The wxWindows project and library is now known as wxWidgets.  Please
 see http://www.wxwindows.org/name.htm for more details.  This won't
 really affect wxPython all that much, other than the fact that the

 AppleEvents can be handled by overriding wx.App methods MacOpenFile,
 MacPrintFile, MacNewFile, and MacReopenApp.
 
+Added wx.PlatformInfo which is a tuple containing strings that
+describe the platform and build options of wxPython.  See the
+MigrationGuide for more details.

+Created a new extension module "activex" from Lindsay Mathieson's
+newest wxActiveX_ class.  (The existing iewin module used an older
+version of this code, but only exposed the wxIEHtmlWin class.)  This
+new module will (in theory ;-) ) allow you to host arbitrary ActiveX
+controls in a wx.Window, **without** requiring the use of the win32com
+and other PyWin32 modules!  This should eliminate the cronic problems
+that have resulted from minor mismatches in how PyWin32 handles the
+GIL and tstate when making callbacks, etc.  The older iewin module
+will be left in this release as the new stuff is not fully backwards
+compatible, but you should migrate your code to the new IEHtmlWindow
+in wx.lib.iewin, so the old one can be eventually removed.
+Additionally, I've always considered that the wx.lib.activexwrapper
+module is an ugly hack that I only included in the lib because I
+couldn't figure out anything better.  Well now we have something that,
+if it isn't already, has the potential to be better.  So consider
+migrating away from using activexwrapper as well.  Please see the
+MigrationGuide for more details on using the new module.
