=====================================================================

-------
-(See also the MigrationGuide.txt file for details about some of the
+wx.ADJUST_MINSIZE is now the default behaviour for window items in
+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. The wx.FIXED_MINSIZE flag was added
+that will cause the sizer to *not* call window 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. 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.
+
+Added some convenience methods to wx.Bitmap: SetSize, GetSize, and
+wx.EmptyBitmap can be called with a wx.Size (or a 2-element sequence)
+object too. Similar changes were done for wx.Image as well.
+
+Added new MaskedEditControl code from Will Sadkin. The modules are
+now locaed in their own sub-package, wx.lib.masked. Demos updated.

+(See also the MigrationGuide_ file for details about some of the
big changes that have happened in this release and how you should
adapt your code.)

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.

+Floats are allowed again as function parameters where ints are expected.
