Recent Changes for wxPython
=====================================================================
-2.5.2.0
+2.5.2.9
+-------
+
+wxMac focus and border refreshes corrected.
+
+Updated internal PNG library.
+
+wxMac fix for metal appearance on wx.ToolBar.
+
+wx.grid.Grid fix allowing DoGetBestSize to be called before CreateGrid
+(which means that a min size doesn't need to be specified.)
+
+wxMac fix for not sending a native click to a control if it is not
+enabled (does an enable itself)
+
+Added wx.lib.ogl.DrawnShape, and fixed various little bugs in the new
+OGL.
+
+Added support to XRC and XRCed for the 3-state checkbox flags and also
+for wx.ToggleButton. Updated the generic window styles supported by
+XRCed.
+
+It is now possible to create "stock" buttons. Basically this means
+that you only have to provide one of the stock IDs (and either an
+empty label or a label that matches the stock label) when creating the
+button and wxWidgets will choose the stock label to go with it
+automatically. Additionally on the platforms that have a native
+concept of a stock button (currently only GTK2) then the native stock
+button will be used. For example, the following will result in a
+button with "Cancel" as the label and an accelerator on the "C", and
+if run on wxGTK2 then there will also be an image of a red X::
+
+ b = wx.Button(parent, wx.ID_CANCEL)
+
+
+Added wx.lib.ticker.Ticker class from Chris Mellon.
+
+Fix some incorrect clipping regions in wxSTC on wxGTK.
+
+Added wrapper for wx.grid.Grid.GetOrCreateCellAttr.
+
+Removed my copy of distutils from the wxPython source tree. Now that
+I am no longer doing builds on Python 2.1 the newest distutils is no
+longer needed. (There is still one small bug in Python 2.2 distutils
+on win32, but it is easily worked around.) This sovles the problem of
+incorrect builds on some systems where the system installed distutils
+has been patched to behave slightly differently, for example SuSE on
+x86_64 or Chandler's build.
+
+Updated to SWIG 1.3.22 (plus my patch.) See wxPython/SWIG/README.txt
+in the source tree if you need to use SWIG when building your own copy
+of wxPython, or other extension modules that need to integrate with
+the wxPython modules.
+
+Added wx.Frame.RequestUserAttention which, if the platform suports it,
+will do something (such as flash the task bar item) to suggest to the
+user that they should look at that window.
+
+"Fixed" wx.grid.Grid.SetDefaultEditor and SetDefaultRenderer by making
+them register the editor or renderer for the "string" data type.
+
+Added depth param to wx.Image.ConvertToBitmap.
+
+Extended the wx.calendar.CalendarCtrl class with methods that get/set
+a Python datetime or date object. (These will only work with Python
+2.3+) The methods are PySetDate, PyGetDate, PySetLowerDateLimit,
+PySetUpperDateLimit, PySetDateRange, PyGetLowerDateLimit, and
+PyGetUpperDateLimit. Also, CalendarEvent was extended with PySetDate
+and PyGetDate methods.
+
+
+
+
+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 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. You can set the window's minimal size (via
-SetSizeHints) to manually control wha tthe sizer will use when
-calculating layout.
+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.
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)
