+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.

+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)
