-<h1><a name="id1">2.5.4.1</a></h1>
+<h1><a name="id1">2.6.0.0</a></h1>
+<p>wxMSW: Fixed wx.TransientPopupWindow (and therefore wx.TipWindow) to
+auto-dismiss when the mouse is clicked outside of the popup like it is
+supposed to.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Fixed bug #1167891 wx.Notebook display problem with wx.NB_MULTILINE.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Fixed bad cliping of hidden windows inside of wx.StaticBox.</p>
+<p>wxGTK: The configure flags for selecting GTK+ 1.2.x or 2.x has
+changed slightly. It is now --with-gtk[=VERSION] where VERSION is
+either '1', '2' or 'any'. The default is '2'.</p>
+<p>wx.stc.StyledTextCtrl: Added the following methods for alternate ways
+to set and fetch text from the document buffer. They work similarly
+to the existing methods of the same name, except that they don't go
+through the same string/unicode <--> wxString conversions. The "Raw"
+methods will do no conversions at all and in a unicode build of
+wxPython the strings will be in the utf-8 encoding and in an ansi
+build no assumption is made about the encoding. The "UTF8" functions
+will attempt to always get/set utf-8 text, which it will always be
+able to do in a unicode build, and in an ansi build it will depend on
+the content of the utf-8 used being compatible with the current
+encoding, (you'll get an exception otherwise.)</p>

+<p>wx.stc.StyledTextCtrl: Added the StyleSetFontEncoding(style, enc)
+method that allows you to set the encoding to be used by the font for
+a particular style.</p>
+<p>wxMac: Fixed wx.ComboBox to forward the EVT_CHAR, EVT_KEY_DOWN,
+EVT_KEY_UP and EVT_TEXT events from its embedded text control.</p>
+<p>wxMac: Corrected refresh bugs in wxGrid.</p>
+<dl>
+<dt>XRCed: Updated to version 0.1.5.</dt>
+<dd><ul class="first last simple">
+<li>Added wxWizard, wxWizardPageSimple (only from pull-down menu).</li>
+<li>Hide command for test window.</li>
+<li>Replacing classes works better.</li>
+<li>Added Locate tool.</li>
+</ul>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="id2">
+<h1><a name="id2">2.5.5.1</a></h1>
+<p>wxMSW: Fixed bug #1022383, 'several ComboBoxes appear selected'</p>
+<p>wx.grid.Grid: Fixed bug #1163384. Moved the code that handles
+activating the cell editors to a EVT_CHAR event handler. This is done
+so the character inserted into the editor will be the "cooked" char
+value (including accented or composed keys) rather than the raw code
+provided by the EVT_KEY_DOWN event.</p>
+<p>Added orient parameter to wx.MDIParentFrame.Tile()</p>
+<p>wxMSW: wxTextCtrl with wx.TE_RICH2 style now uses RichEdit 4.1 if
+available.</p>
+<p>Added GetCount, GetCountRGB, and GetCountColour methods to
+wx.ImageHistogram.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: wx.Window.Refresh changed to explicitly refresh all children as
+well as the parent. Previously it was implicitly done because parents
+did not clip their children by default. Now that they always clip
+children then Refresh needed to be fixed to do a recursive refresh.
+This also fixes the Freeze/Thaw problems that some people had with
+2.5.4.1.</p>
+<p>wx.SplitterWindow: Send EVT_SPLITTER_SASH_POS_CHANGED only once after
+end of dragging and not after each CHANGING event (modified patch
+#1076226)</p>
+<p>wx.glcanvas.GLCanvas: applied patch fixing problems with X server
+crash when using nVidia cards (patch 1155132)</p>
+<dl>
+<dt>wx.lib.mixins.listctrl: Patches from Toni Brkic:</dt>
+<dd><ul class="first last simple">
+<li>Bugfix for TextEditMixin when the view can't be scrolled</li>
+<li>Enhancement for ListCtrlAutoWidthMixin, allowing it to manage
+the width of any column.</li>
+</ul>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<p>wxMac: removal and reusing toolbar tools like the other platforms is
+now possible.</p>
+<p>wxMac: Correct radio tool selection after calling Realize a 2nd time.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Applied patch #1166587, removes all flicker from wx.StaticBox</p>
+<p>Added wx.lib.foldpanelbar, Andrea Gavana's port of Jorgen Bodde's C++
+wxFoldPanelBar classes to Python.</p>
+<p>wxGTK: Applied patch #1173802, reimplementation of GtkFileChooser
+wxFileDialog by Mart Raudsepp. Note that this new file dialog is only
+used on GTK2 >= 2.4. For earlier GTK2 versions and GTK1 then the
+older generic file dialog is used.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: fixes to static box borders calculations (finalizes patch
+#1166587)</p>
+<p>wx.Image: Use Python's buffer interface API for all image data and
+alpha Set/Get methods and the ImageFromData* constructors. They all
+still copy the buffer except for SetDataBuffer and SetAlphaBuffer, but
+this gives more flexibility on where the data can come from.</p>
+<p>Added MDI support to XRC</p>
+<p>Added wx.animate module and a demo. The wx.animate module provides a
+control that is able to display an animated GIF file.</p>
+<p>wx.lib.plot.py: Applied patch from Werner F. Bruhin that allows either
+vertical and/or horizontal gridlines.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Extra space given for top border of wx.StaticBoxSizer so the
+upper line is not cliped when there is no label.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Restored old behaviour of wx.StaticBox.SetBackgroundColour only
+affecting the label.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Fixed missing EVT_RIGHT_DOWN and EVT_TREE_ITEM_RIGHT_CLICK
+events in a wx.TreeCtrl.</p>
+<p>Added wx.GetTopLevelWindows() function which returns a copy of the
+list of top-level windows that currently exist in the application.</p>
+<p>Updated docview library modules and sample apps from the ActiveGrid
+folks.</p>
+<p>Added the ActiveGrid IDE as a sample application.</p>
+</div>

+<h1><a name="id3">2.5.4.1</a></h1>
<p>wx.Sizer Add, Insert, and Prepend functions now return a reference to the
wx.SizerItem that was added to the sizer, and the wx.SizerItem has a
GetRect accessor to give the position of the item on the parent window.</p>
out-of-sync assert is generated when clicking on a radio button and
then calling GetValue().</p>
