Recent Changes for wxPython
=====================================================================
+
+2.6.0.1
+-------
+
+Added wx.BrushFromBitmap to create a stippled brush in a single step.
+Also added missing brysh style flags: wx.STIPPLE_MASK
+wx.STIPPLE_MASK_OPAQUE.
+
+wxMSW: Fix for controls when the system text fg colour is not black.
+
+wxGTK: Patch #1171754, It is now possible to have a menu item that
+both has an icon and is a submenu.
+
+wxMSW: Patch #1197009, better refreshes when windows are moved and
+resized.
+
+wxMSW: Patch #1197468. Keeps track of pending size/position changes
+in case there is more than one adjustment for a window in a single
+DeferWindowPos set, then the pending values can be used for defaults
+instead of current values.
+
+Fixed the typemap that converts a Python list of strings to a
+wxArrayString so it uses the wxPy default encoding.
+
+Several docstrings added and updated. Lots more to go.
+
+
+

2.6.0.0
-------
+* 26-Apr-2005
wxMSW: Fixed wx.TransientPopupWindow (and therefore wx.TipWindow) to
auto-dismiss when the mouse is clicked outside of the popup like it is
changed slightly. It is now --with-gtk[=VERSION] where VERSION is
either '1', '2' or 'any'. The default is '2'.
-wx.stc.StyledTextCtrl: Added the following methods for alternate ways
+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 will always be true in a
-unicode build, and in an ansi build will also be true as long as the
-utf-8 used is compatible with the current encoding, (you'll get an
-exception otherwise.)

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.

What's new in 2.1.4
---------------------
+-------------------

This release is NOT syncronized with a snapshot release of wxGTK or
wxMSW. For MSW this isn't much of a problem since you can get the
Added typemaps for wxSize, wxPoint, wxRealPoint, and wxRect that allow
either the actual objects or Python sequence values to be used. For
-example, the following are equivallent:

class instead of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow you can either implement

wxPython on wxGTK works!!! Both dynamic and static on Linux and
-static on Solaris have been tested. Many thanks go to Harm
-<H.v.d.Heijden@phys.tue.nl> for his astute detective work on tracking
-down a nasty DECREF bug. Okay so I have to confess that it was just a
-DSM (Dumb Stupid Mistake) on my part but it was nasty none the less
-because the behavior was so different on different platforms.

The dynamicly loaded module on Solaris is still segfaulting, so it
must have been a different issue all along...
