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

+<p>Applied (and heavily modified) a patch from Eugene
+&lt;<a class="reference" href="mailto:svip123&#64;fastmail.fm">svip123&#64;fastmail.fm</a>&gt; 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">
+&gt;&gt;&gt; b = frame.demoPage.GetChildren()[0]
+&gt;&gt;&gt; for x in range(0, 500, 10):
+...     b.Move((x, 50))
+...     app.Yield(True)
+...     wx.MilliSleep(10)
