+wxScrolledWindow.</li>
+<li>Add support for all wxListBox styles to the XRC handler for
+wxCheckListBox.</li>

<p>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
<p>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.</p>
+<p>Applied (and heavily modified) a patch from Eugene
+<<a class="reference" href="mailto:svip123@fastmail.fm">svip123@fastmail.fm</a>> 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.</p>
+<p>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:</p>
+<pre class="literal-block">
+>>> b = frame.demoPage.GetChildren()[0]
+>>> for x in range(0, 500, 10):
+... b.Move((x, 50))
+... app.Yield(True)
+... wx.MilliSleep(10)
+</pre>
