+</ul>
+<p>Lots of fixes and updates to the AUI classes.</p>
+<p>Added wx.CollapsiblePane. On wxGTK it uses a native expander widget,
+on the other platforms a regular button is used to control the
+collapsed/expanded state.</p>
+<p>Added the wx.combo module, which contains the ComboCtrl and ComboPopup
+classes. These classes allow you to implement a wx.ComboBox-like
+widget where the popup can be nearly any kind of widget, and where you
+have a lot of control over other aspects of the combo widget as well.
+It works very well on GTK and MSW, using native renderers for drawing
+the combo button, but is unfortunatly still a bit klunky on OSX...</p>
+<p>Use system default paper size for printing instead of A4 by default.</p>
+<p>Added wx.combo.OwnerDrawnComboBox, which is a ComboCtrl that delegates
+the drawing of the items in the popup and in the control itself to
+overridden methods of a derived class, similarly to how wx.VListBox
+works.</p>
+<p>Added wx.combo.BitmapComboBox which is a combobox that displays a
+bitmap in front of the list items.</p>
+<p>Added the wx.lib.mixins.inspect module. It contains the InspectMixin
+class which can be mixed with a wx.App class and provides a PyCrust
+window that can be activated with a Ctrl-Alt-I keystroke (or Cmd-Alt-I
+on the Mac.)</p>
+<p>Added some modules from Riaan Booysen:</p>
+<blockquote>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>wx.lib.flagart: contains icons of the flags of many countries.</li>
+<li>wx.lib.art.img2pyartprov: makes images embedded in a python file
+with img2py available via the wx.ArtProvider.</li>
+<li>wx.lib.langlistctrl: A wx.ListCtrl for selecting a language,
+which uses the country flag icons.</li>
+<li>An I18N sample for the demo.</li>
+</ul>
+</blockquote>
+<p>wx.lib.masked: Patch from Will Sadkin. Includes Unicode fixes, plus
+more helpful exceptions and ability to designate fields in mask
+without intervening fixed characters.</p>
+<p>Added wx.SearchCtrl, which is a composite of a wx.TextCtrl with optional
+bitmap buttons and a drop-down menu. Controls like this can typically
+be found on a toolbar of applications that support some form of search
+functionality. On the Mac this control is implemented using the
+native HISearchField control, on the other platforms a generic control
+is used, although that may change in the future as more platforms
+introduce native search widgets.</p>
+<p>Added a set of button classes to wx.lib.buttons from David Hughes that
+uses the native renderer to draw the button.</p>

+(patch 1590192)</p>
+<p>Patch from Dj Gilcrease adding the FNB_HIDE_ON_SINGLE_TAB style flag
+for wx.lib.flatnotebook.</p>
+<p>wx.Window.GetBestFittingSize has been renamed to GetEffectiveMinSize.
+SetBestFittingSize has been renamed to SetInitialSize, since it is
+most often used only to set the initial (and minimal) size of a
+widget.</p>
+<p>The QuickTime backend for wx.media.MediaCtrl on MS Windows works
+again. Just pass szBackend=wx.media.MEDIABACKEND_QUICKTIME to the

+<p>wx.EventLoop is now implemented for wxMac.</p>
+<p>Added wxPython wrappers for the new wx.Treebook and wx.Toolbook
+classes.</p>
+<p>wx.DC.BeginDrawing and EndDrawing have been deprecated in the C++
+code, so since they never really did anything before they are now just
+empty stubs in wxPython.</p>
+<p>Solved a problem that has been around for a very long time in how C++
+methods are virtualized for overriding in derived Python classes.
+Previously we couldn't do it for methods that needed to also exist in
+the base class wrappers such that they could be called normally. (The
+reasons are long and complex, but suffice it to say that it was due to
+mixing C++'s dynamic dispatch, and Python's runtime lookup of the
+method attributes resulting in endless recursion of function calls.)
+Because of this problem I used a hack that I have always hated, and
+that is renaming the base class methods with a "base_*" prefix, for
+example wx.Printout.base_OnBeginDocument. Now that the problem has
+finally been solved I have replaced all the base_Whatever() methods
+with the real Whatever() method as well as a simple wrapper named
+base_Whatever that is marked as deprecated. So now instead of writing
+your overridden methods like this:</p>
+<pre class="literal-block">
+def OnBeginDocument(self, start, end):
+ # do something here
+ return self.base_OnBeginDocument(start, end)
+</pre>
+<p>You can now call the base class method the normal way, like this:</p>
+<pre class="literal-block">
+def OnBeginDocument(self, start, end):
+ # do something here
+ return Printout.OnBeginDocument(self, start, end)
+</pre>
+<p>Or like this with super():</p>
+<pre class="literal-block">
+def OnBeginDocument(self, start, end):
+ # do something here
+ return super(MyPrintout, self).OnBeginDocument(start, end)
+</pre>
+<p>Note that the old way with the "base_*" function still works, but you
+will get a DeprecationWarning from calling base_OnBeginDocument. The
+classes affected by this are:</p>
+<blockquote>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>wx.DropSource</li>
+<li>wx.DropTarget</li>
+<li>wx.TextDropTarget</li>
+<li>wx.FileDropTarget</li>

+<p>Added the wx.DC.GradientFillConcentric and wx.DC.GradientFillLinear
+methods.</p>
+<p>wxGTK: wx.ListBox and wx.CheckListBox are now using native GTK2
+widgets.</p>
+<p>Added wx.ListBox.HitTest() from patch 1446207</p>
+<p>Bumped up to SWIG 1.3.29. This provides some more runtime performance
+boosts, gets rid of the dreaded Ptr classes, and some other nice new
+things.</p>
+<p>Added wx.Window.GetScreenPosition and GetScreenRect which returns the
+position of the window in screen coordinates, even if the window is
+not a top-level window.</p>
+<p>Added GetResourcesDir and GetLocalizedResourcesDir to
+wx.StandardPaths.</p>
+<p>Added a GetReceivedFormat method to wx.DataObjectComposite. You can
+use this to find out what format of data object was recieved from the
+source of the clipboard or DnD operation, and then you'll know which
+of the component data objects to use to access the data.</p>
+<p>Changed how the stock objects (wx.RED, wx.RED_PEN, wx.RED_BRUSH, etc.)
+are initialized. They are now created as uninitialized instances
+using __new__. Then after the wx.App has been created, but before
+OnInit is called, the .this attribute of each object is initialized.
+This was needed because of some delayed initialization functionality
+that was implemented in wxWidgets, but the end result is cleaner for
+wxPython as well, and allowed me to remove some ugly code previously
+hidden under the covers.</p>
+<p>Added wx.StandardPaths.GetDocumentsDir.</p>
+<p>Added wx.RendererNative.DrawCheckButton.</p>
+<p>wx.ProgressDialog.Update now returns a tuple of two values. The first
+is a continue flag (what was returned before) and the second is a skip
+flag. If the dialog has the wx.PD_CAN_SKIP flag and if the Skip
+button is clicked, then the skip flag is set to True the next time
+Update is called.</p>
+<p>A DeprecationWarning is now issued when the old wxPython package is
+imported. If you are still using the old namespace please convert
+your code to use the new wx package instead.</p>
+<p>Added wrappers for Julian's new wxRichTextCtrl class, visible in
+wxPython as wx.richtext.RichTextCtrl window. It still needs some more
+work, but it is a great start.</p>
+<p>wx.lib.mixins.listctrl.TextEditMixin: Fixed the double END_LABEL_EDIT
+event problem in TextEditMixin by checking if the editor was already
+hidden before continuing with the CloseEditor method. Also added code
+to OpenEditor to send the BEGIN_LABEL_EDIT event and to not allow the
+opening of the editor to continue if the event handler doesn't allow
+it.</p>
+<p>wx.StaticBoxSizer now keeps better track of the wx.StaticBox, and it
+will destroy it if the sizer is destroyed before the parent window is.</p>
+<p>Added wx.HyperlinkCtrl.</p>
+<p>Added battery and power related functions and events (wxMSW only so
+far.) See wx.PowerEvent, wx.GetPowerType and wx.GetBatteryState.</p>
+<p>Added wx.ListCtrl.HitTestSubItem which returns the sub-item (i.e. the
+column in report mode) that was hit (if any) in addition to the item
+and flags.</p>
+<p>Added wrappers for wx.ColourPickerCtrl, wx.DirPickerCtrl,
+wx.FilePickerCtrl, and wx.FontPickerCtrl.</p>
+<p>Patch #1502016 wx.Image.ConvertToGreyscale now retains the alpha
+channel.</p>
+<p>Added wrappers for the wxAUI classes, in the wx.aui module.</p>
+<p>Added the PseudoDC class from Paul Lanier. It provides a way to
+record operations on a DC and then play them back later.</p>
+<p>Upgraded to Scintilla 1.70 for wx.stc.StyledTextCtrl.</p>
+<p>Added CanSetTransparent and SetTransparent methods to the
+wx.TopLevelWindow class, with implementations (so far) for wxMSW and
+wxMac.</p>
+<p>SetDefaultItem() and GetDefaultItem() are now members of
+wx.TopLevelWindow, not wx.Panel.</p>
+<p>wxGTK: Stock items (icons) will be used for menu items with stock
+IDs.</p>
+<p>Added wx.lib.combotreebox from Frank Niessink</p>
+<p>Added wx.ImageFromBuffer, wx.BitmapFromBuffer and
+wx.BitmapFromBufferRGBA factory functions. They enable loading of an
+image or bitmap directly from a Python object that implements the
+buffer interface, such as strings, arrays, etc.</p>
+<p>Added wx.App.IsDisplayAvailable() which can be used to determine if a
+GUI can be created in the current environment. (Still need an
+implementation for wxMSW...)</p>
+<p>The wx.html.HTML_FONT_SIZE_x constants are no longer available as the
+default sizes are now calculated at runtime based on the size of the
+normal GUI font.</p>
+<p>wx.Colour now includes an alpha component, which defaults to
+wx.ALPHA_OPAQUE. This is in preparation for allowing various new
+alpha blening functionality using wx.Colour objects, such as drawing
+with pens and brushes on a wx.DC.</p>
+<p>Added wx.NativePixelBuffer, wx.AlphPixelBuffer and related iterator
+and accessor classes. They allow platform independent direct access
+to the platform specific pixel buffer inside of a wx.Bitmap object.</p>
+<p>The beginnings of support for RTL languages has been added, thanks to
+a Google SoC project.</p>
+<p>Added wx.lib.dragscroller from Riaan Booysen. It provides a helper
+class that can used to scroll a wx.ScrolledWindow in response to a
+mouse drag.</p>
+<p>Applied patch 1551409: Adds support for indeterminate mode gauges.</p>
+<p>wxMac: I've turned on the compile option for using the native toolbar
+on the Mac now that it supports hosting of controls. If the toolbar
+is managed by the frame via either CreateToolBar() or SetToolBar()
+then the native toolbar will be used. Additional toolbars, or
+toolbars that are not children of the frame, are managed by sizers or
+what-not will still use the emulated toolbar because of platform
+restrictions in how/where the native toolbar can be used.</p>
+<p>Added Python properties for many of the getter/setter methods of wx
+classes. In order for the names to be predicatble for somebody
+already familiar with wxPython the property names are simply the name
+of the getter with the "Get" dropped. For example, wx.Window has a
+property named "Size" that maps to GetSize and SetSize. So far there
+is only one known name conflict using this naming convention, and that
+is wx.KeyEvent.KeyCode, however since KeyCode was formerly a
+compatibility alias for GetKeyCode (and has been for a long time) it
+was decided to just switch it to a property. If you want to use the
+method then change your calls to event.KeyCode() to
+event.GetKeyCode(), otherwise you can use it as a property just by
+dropping the parentheses.</p>
+<p>Updated the C++ code for wx.gizmos.TreeListCtrl from the wxCode
+project. This has resulted in some minor API changes, most of which
+were worked around in the wrapper code.</p>
+<p>Added wx.lib.delayedresult from Oliver Schoenborn.</p>
+<p>Added wx.lib.expando, a multi-line textctrl that expands as more lines
+are needed.</p>
+<p>wx.Image.Scale and Rescale methods now take an extra parameter
+specifying type of method to use for resampling the image. It
+defaults to the current behavior of just replicating pixels, if
+wx.IMAGE_QUALITY_HIGH is passed then it uses bicubic and box averaging
+resampling methods for upsampling and downsampling respectively.</p>
+<p>Added the wx.lib.buttonpanel module, which is a tweaked version of
+Andrea Gavana's FancyButtonPanel module.</p>
+<p>Added the wx.lib.flatnotebook module, from Andrea Gavana.</p>
+<p>Renamed wx.FutureCall to wx.CallLater so it is named more like
+wx.CallAfter. wx.FutureCall is now an empty subclass of wx.CallLater
+for compatibility of older code.</p>
+<p>Added the wx.lib.customtreectrl module from Andrea Gavana.</p>
+<p>Added ChangeSelection to wx.BookCtrl (the base class for wx.Notebook
+and other book controls) that is the same as SetSelection but doesn't
+send the change events.</p>
+<p>Added wx.TextCtrl.ChangeValue() which is the same as SetValue() but
+doesn't send the text changed event.</p>
+<p>For consistency, all classes having an Ok() method now also have
+IsOk(), use of the latter form is preferred although the former hasn't
+been deprecated yet</p>
+<p>Added the wx.AboutBox() function and wx.AboutDialogInfo class. They
+provide a way to show a standard About box for the application, which
+will either be a native dialog or a generic one depending on what info
+is provided and if it can all be shown with the native dialog.</p>
+<p>The code in the animate contrib has been moved into the core wxWidgets
+library, and refactored a bit along the way. For wxPython it still
+exists in the wx.animate module, but has basically been reduced to two
+classes, wx.animate.Animation, and wx.animate.AnimationCtrl. You load
+the animated GIF (and hopefully there will be other supported formats
+in the near future) in the Animation object, and then give that to the
+AnimatedCtrl for display. See the demo for an example. There is also
+still a GIFAnimationCtrl class that provides some level of backwards
+compatibility with the old implementation.</p>
+<p>wxMac: The compile option that turns on the use of CoreGraphics (a.k.a
+Quartz) for wxDC is now turned on by default. This means that all
+drawing via wxDC is done using the new APIs from apple, instead of the
+old Quick Draw API. There are, however, a few places where Quartz and
+wxDC don't fit together very well, mainly the lack of support for
+logical drawing operations such as XOR, but there is work in progress
+to provide other ways to do the same sort of thing that will work with
+Quartz and also on the other platforms.</p>
+<p>The first parts of a new 2D drawing API has been added with the
+wx.GraphicsPath and wx.GraphicsContext classes. They wrap GDI+ on
+Windows, Cairo on wxGTK and CoreGraphics on OS X. They allow path-based
+drawing with alpha-blending and anti-aliasing, and use a floating
+point cooridnate system. Currently they can only target drawing to
+windows, but other wx.DC backends are forthcoming. The APIs may
+evolve a bit more before they are finalaized with the 2.8 release, but
+there is enough there now to get a good feel for how things will work.
+There is also a transitional wx.GCDC class that provides the wx.DC API
+on top of wx.GraphicsContext. Docs and a demo are still MIA.</p>
+<p>Added a wx.AutoBufferedPaintDC that is a subclass of wx.PaintDC on
+platforms that do double buffering by default, and a subclass of
+wx.BufferedPaintDC on the platforms that don't. You can use this
+class to help avoid the overhead of buffering when it is not
+needed. There is also a wx.AutoBufferedPaintDCFactory function that
+does a little more and actually tests if the window has
+double-buffering enabled and then decides whether to return a
+wx.PaintDC or wx.BufferedPaintDC. This uses the new
+wx.Window.IsDoubleBuffered method.</p>

+takes an imageIndex, and set the default to -1. This ensures that on
+wxMSW that if there is an image list but they don't specify an image,
+the native control doesn't use one anyway.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: wx.ListCtrl in report mode is now able to support images in
+other columns besides the first one. Simply pass an image index to
+SetStringItem. For virtual list controls you can specify the image to
+use on the extra columns by overriding OnGetItemColumnImage in your
+derived class. It is passed the item number and the column number as
+parameters, and the default version simply calls OnGetItemImage for
+column zero, or returns -1 for other columns.</p>
+<p>Switched to using SWIG 1.3.27 for generating the wrapper code. There
+are some small changes needed to SWIG to work around some bugs that
+wxPython exposes, and to be able to generate code that matches that
+which wxPython is using. If you are building wxPython yourself and
+need to modify any of the *.i files or to add your own, then you will
+want to be sure to use a matching SWIG. See wxPython/SWIG/README.txt
+in the source tarball for details.</p>
+<p>wx.Image.Copy, Mirror, and GetSubImage now also do the right thing
+with the alpha channel.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Fixed problem in wx.TextCtrl where using SetValue and
+wx.TE_RICH2 would cause the control to be shown if it was hidden.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Numpad special keys are now distinguished from normal keys in
+key events.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Multiline notebook tab label change now resizes the control
+correctly if an extra row is removed or added.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: On XP fall back to unthemed wxNotebook if specified orientation
+not available in the themed version.</p>
+<p>Added wx.Toolbar.GetToolsCount.</p>
+<p>Added wx.GridSizer.CalcRowsCols.</p>
+<p>Added wx.OutputStream.LastWrite.</p>
+<p>wxGTK: EVT_SET_CURSOR is now sent.</p>

+<p>wxGTK: Implement user dashes for PS and GNOME printing.</p>
+<p>wxGTK: Correct update region code. Don't always invalidate the whole
+window upon resize. Reenable support for thewx.NO_FULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE
+flag. Also disable refreshing custom controls when focusing in and out.</p>
+<p>wx.lib.pubsub: Publisher is now able to parse a dotted notation string
+into a topic tuple. For example: subscribing to "timer.clock.seconds"
+is the same as subscribing to ("timer", "clock", "seconds").</p>
+<p>Applied patch #1441370: lib.plot - allow passing in wx.Colour()</p>

+For example you can add a "Notepad" extension (under windows) that
+will exec Notepad on the currently open file. A new "Notepad"

+<p>Some fixes to XRCed to make encoding errors a bit more user friendly.</p>
+<p>XRCed changes from Roman Rolinsky:</p>
+<blockquote>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>Added new controls (Choicebook, Listbook, StatusBar,

+for an available parent control if no specific view
+defined. Better handling of exceptions (highlighting does not
+'stick' anymore).</li>
+<li>Use system clipboard for Copy/Paste.</li>
+<li>Improved some dialogs (window styles, growable cols). Changed
+the range for wxSpinCtrl min/max to all integers (default 0/100
+is not always good).</li>

+<p>wxMSW: wx.lib.iewin.IEHtmlWindow now properly handles tabbing, return
+and other special keys properly.</p>
+<p>Lots of PyCrust enhancments started by Franz Steinaeusler, Adi Sieker,
+and Sebastian Haase, and which in turn were further enhanced, fixed
+tweaked and finished up by me. The changes include the following:</p>
+<blockquote>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>The Autocomplete and Calltip windows can now be opened manually
+with Ctrl-Space and Ctrl-Shift-Space.</li>
+<li>In the stand alone PyCrust app the various option settings,
+window size and position, and etc. are saved and restored at the
+next run.</li>
+<li>Added a help dialog bound to the F1 key that shows the key
+bindings.</li>
+<li>Added a new text completion function that suggests words from
+the history. Bound to Shift-Return.</li>
+<li>F11 will toggle the maximized state of the frame.</li>
+<li>switched to Bind() from wx.EVT_*().</li>
+<li>Display of line numbers can be toggled.</li>
+<li>F12 toggles a "free edit" mode of the shell buffer. This mode
+is useful, for example, if you would like to remove some output
+or errors or etc. from the buffer before doing a copy/paste.
+The free edit mode is designated by the use of a red,
+non-flashing caret.</li>
+<li>Ctrl-Shift-F will fold/unfold (hide/show) the selected lines.</li>
+<li>General code cleanup and fixes.</li>
+<li>Use wx.StandardPaths to determine the location of the config
+files.</li>
+<li>Use wx.SP_LIVE_UPDATE on crust and filling windows.</li>
+<li>Extended the saving of the config info and other new features to
+the PyShell app too. Additionally, other apps that embed a
+PyCrust or a PyShell can pass their own wx.Config object and
+have the Py code save/restore its settings to/from there.</li>
+<li>All of the classes with config info get an opportunity to
+save/load their own settings instead of putting all the
+save/load code in one place that then has to reach all over the
+place to do anything.</li>
+<li>Enable editing of the startup python code, which will either be
+the file pointed to by PYTHONSTARTUP or a file in the config dir
+if PYTHONSTARTUP is not set in the environment.</li>
+<li>Added an option to skip the running of the startup code when
+PyShell or PyCrust starts.</li>
+<li>PyCrust adds a pp(item) function to the shell's namespace that
+pretty prints the item in the Display tab of the notebook.
+Added code to raise that tab when pp() is called.</li>
+<li>Added an option for whether to insert text for function
+parameters when popping up the call tip.</li>
+<li>Added Find and Find-Next functions that use the
+wx.FindReplaceDialog.</li>
+</ul>
+</blockquote>
+<p>Applied patches from Will Sadkin for wx.lib.masked modules:</p>
+<blockquote>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>Now ignores kill focus events when being destroyed.</li>
+<li>Added missing call to set insertion point on changing fields.</li>
+<li>Modified SetKeyHandler() to accept None as means of removing
+one.</li>
+<li>Fixed keyhandler processing for group and decimal character
+changes.</li>
+<li>Fixed a problem that prevented input into the integer digit of a
+integerwidth=1 numctrl, if the current value was 0.</li>
+<li>Fixed logic involving processing of "_signOk" flag, to remove
+default sign key handlers if false, so that
+SetAllowNegative(False) in the NumCtrl works properly.</li>
+<li>Fixed selection logic for numeric controls so that if
+selectOnFieldEntry is true, and the integer portion of an
+integer format control is selected and the sign position is
+selected, the sign keys will always result in a negative value,
+rather than toggling the previous sign.</li>
+</ul>
+</blockquote>
+<p>wx.FontMapper.SetConfig is deprecated. You should instead just set an
+application-wide config object with wx.Config.Set, which wx.FontMapper
+will use by default.</p>
+<p>Added wx.GetMouseState which returns the current state of the mouse.
+It returns an instance of a wx.MouseState object that contains the
+current position of the mouse pointer in screen coordinants, as well
+as boolean values indicating the up/down status of the mouse buttons
+and the modifier keys.</p>
+<p>Added wx.SizerItem.SetUserData</p>
+<p>A variety of updates to wx.lib.floatcanvas, including Added
+DrawObjects, including a ScaledTextBox, with auto-wrapping, etc, and
+Scaled and Unscaled Bitmap Objects.</p>
+<blockquote>
+WARNING: Changed all DrawObjects to take an (x,y) pair rather
+than individual x,y parameters. Also changed rectangles and
+ellipses to take (w,h) pair. This is an API change, but should
+be easy to accommodate, all you need to do is add a parenthesis
+pair: (...x, y, ...) ---> (...(x,y), ...)</blockquote>

+<p>Several docstrings added and updated. Lots more to go.</p>
+<p>wxMac: Strings added to the clipboard or used in DnD no longer have an

+<p>Ensure that Python is still in an initialized state before doing any
+locking or unlocking in wxPyBeginBlockThreads and wxPyEndBlockThreads
+as these can be triggered after Python has been finalized in embedding

+<p>Added alternate constructors for wx.Font: wx.FontFromPixelSize,
+wx.FFont, wx.FFontFromPixelSize. See the docstrings or new api docs
+for details.</p>
+<p>Added wx.lib.hyperlink from Andrea Gavana. It is a control like
+static text that acts like a hyper-link, launching the system's
+default browser in response to the clicks.</p>
+<p>Added an optional parameter to wxversion.select that allows you to
+specify that the extra components specified in the version string are
+required. For example, if you ask for "2.6-unicode" but only the ansi
+version is installed then by default the ansi version will be selected
+as it considered close enough since the version numbers match. If you
+want to force the options to be required then you can just add a True
+parameter, like this:</p>
+<pre class="literal-block">
+import wxversion
+wxversion.select("2.6-unicode", True)
+import wx
+</pre>
+<p>Tweaked wx.lib.buttons such that flat buttons (e.g. have no bevel and
+a wx.BORDER_NONE style flag) paint themed backgrounds if there are
+transparent areas and the parent is displaying a theme.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Fix for wrong sash colour of wx.SplitterWindow in the silver

+to calculate the best size, instead of using a reasonable limit.</p>
+<p>XRCed: Use wx.GetDefaultPyEncoding/wx.SetDefaultPyEncoding for
+changing active encoding. Fixed pasting siblings (Ctrl key pressed
+while pasting).</p>
+<p>wx.lib.filebrowsebutton: Bug fix from Chad Netzer for when
+self.history is None.</p>
+<p>wx.ogl: Patch from Davide Salomoni that adds an optional point
+parameter to LineShape.InsertLineControlPoint allowing one to
+optionally specify where the new control point has to be drawn.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: setting foreground colour for wx.CheckBox now works when using
+XP themes.</p>
+<p>More updates to the docview library modules and sample apps from the
+ActiveGrid folks. Their sample IDE is now able to integrate with
+Subversion.</p>
+<p>wx.grid.Grid: Ensure that the grid gets the focus when it is
+left-clicked. Note that if you have custom widgets that handle the
+EVT_LEFT_DOWN event but do not call event.Skip() then you will
+probably want to add a call to self.SetFocus in the event handler.</p>
+<p>wxGTK: Add wxSTAY_ON_TOP support [Patch 1206023]</p>
+<p>wx.TreeCtrl: wx.EVT_TREE_ITEM_MENU event made consistent on all
+platforms. The location of the click or the item is included in the
+event as well.</p>
+<p>wxGTK: Setting background colour of a window now only affects the
+window itself, not the borders, scrollbars, etc. (Bug #1204069)</p>
+<p>Print framework: Add more paper sizes and code to fallback to an
+explicit paper size if a known paper size is not found for the
+printer.</p>
+<p>wxMac: Applied patch for bug #1206181 Option-key decodes are wrong,
+also applied patch for bug #1205691 Modified Fn keys don't work.</p>
+<p>wx.Image: Fixed to preserve alpha channel in Rotate90 method.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Fixed incorrect background colour on wx.CheckListBox.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Fixed drawing of owner drawn buttons with multiline labels</p>
+<p>Removed a bunch of unnecessary files, and removed or replaced images
+that we're not sure of their origin or license.</p>
+<p>The default DoGetBestSize is updated to not always return the current
+size if the window has no sizer, children, or minsize set. Instead
+the current size is set as the minsize. This solves the occasional
+problem where a sizer may cause a childless panel to grow but never
+shrink.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: When converting a wx.Icon to a bitmap check if the icon has an
+alpha channel and set the bitmap to use it.</p>
+<p>Fixed the wrong class name used in wx.PyScrolledWindow's call to
+_setCallbackInfo.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: patch #1207202, Fixes GDI leak when using stock cursors.</p>
+<p>wx.calendar.CalendarCtrl: Patch #1207531, Keeps the CalendarCtrl wide
+enough even when the weekday names for the locale are shorter than

+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 it will always be
+able to do in a unicode build, and in an ansi build it will depend on
+the content of the utf-8 used being compatible with the current
+encoding, (you'll get an exception otherwise.)</p>

+#1166587)</p>
+<p>wx.Image: Use Python's buffer interface API for all image data and
+alpha Set/Get methods and the ImageFromData* constructors. They all
+still copy the buffer except for SetDataBuffer and SetAlphaBuffer, but
+this gives more flexibility on where the data can come from.</p>
+<p>Added MDI support to XRC</p>
+<p>Added wx.animate module and a demo. The wx.animate module provides a
+control that is able to display an animated GIF file.</p>
+<p>wx.lib.plot.py: Applied patch from Werner F. Bruhin that allows either
+vertical and/or horizontal gridlines.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Extra space given for top border of wx.StaticBoxSizer so the
+upper line is not cliped when there is no label.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Restored old behaviour of wx.StaticBox.SetBackgroundColour only
+affecting the label.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Fixed missing EVT_RIGHT_DOWN and EVT_TREE_ITEM_RIGHT_CLICK
+events in a wx.TreeCtrl.</p>
+<p>Added wx.GetTopLevelWindows() function which returns a copy of the
+list of top-level windows that currently exist in the application.</p>
+<p>Updated docview library modules and sample apps from the ActiveGrid
+folks.</p>
+<p>Added the ActiveGrid IDE as a sample application.</p>

+<p>wx.Sizer Add, Insert, and Prepend functions now return a reference to the

+GetRect accessor to give the position of the item on the parent window.</p>
+<p>Added wx.Sizer.GetItem method which returns the wx.SizerItem for the given
+wx.Window, wx.Sizer or position index.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: wx.RadioButtons in the same group no longer have to be
+consecutive (there may be intervening controls). Without this fix, an
+out-of-sync assert is generated when clicking on a radio button and
+then calling GetValue().</p>

+<p>wxMSW: fix for [ 1052989 ] TextCtrl.SetBackgroundColour(wx.NullColour)

+wx.GetPasswordFromUser dialog function.</p>
+<p>OGL patch from Shane Holloway:</p>
+<blockquote>
+<p>Two simple problems found in the new python ogl code. First is
+the patch for _canvas.py. Essentially:</p>
+<pre class="literal-block">
+dx = abs(dc.LogicalToDeviceX(x - self._firstDragX))
+dy = abs(dc.LogicalToDeviceY(y - self._firstDragY))
+</pre>
+<p>was incorrect because (x,y) and (self._firstDragX,
+self._firstDragY) are both already in Logical coordinates.
+Therefore the difference between the two is also in logical
+coordinates, and the conversion call is an error. This bug
+surfaces when you have OGL on a scrollwin, and you are far from
+the origin of the canvas.</p>
+<p>The second change in _composit.py basically removes the assumption
+that the child is in both self._children and self._divisions.
+Causes many problems when it's not. ;)</p>
+</blockquote>
+<p>Fixed GetSaveData and SetSaveData in wx.lib.multisash to not depend on
+the default way that class objectss are converted to strings.</p>
+<p>Fixed problem in StyledTextCtrl.Set[HV]ScrollBar that could leave the
+internal scrollbar visible.</p>
+<p>Added wx.StandardPaths which provides methods for determining standard
+system paths for each platform.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: The window background is now only erased by default if the
+background colour or background mode has been changed. This better
+allows the default system themed behaviour to show through for
+uncustomized windows. Explicit support added for using the correct
+theme texture for wx.Notebook pages and their children.</p>
+<p>wx.Image: Added support for alpha channels in interpolated and
+non-interpolated image rotation. Added ConvertAlphaToMask helper
+method for turning shades of grey into shades of alpha and a colour.</p>
+<p>wxGTK2: Reimplemented DoDrawRotatedText() by way of a rotation of an
+alpha blended text bitmap. It would be better if Pango could draw
+directly into an wxImage (as FreeType can,) but that is for later...</p>
+<p>Added wrappers and a demo for the wx.MediaCtrl class, which can play
+various forms of audio/video media using native codecs install on the
+system. So far it is only implemented for Windows and OSX.</p>
+<p>wxGTK: Patch applied for Freeze()/Thaw() for wxTextCtrtl.</p>
+<p>Added "gravity" for splitter window (patch 1046105). Gravity is a
+floating-point factor between 0.0 and 1.0 which controls position of
+sash while resizing the wx.SplitterWindow. The gravity specifies
+how much the left/top window will grow while resizing.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: wx.Slider's C++ implementation rewritten to be more
+maintainable and hopefully less buggy. The position of the labels has
+also been changed in order to better comply with Microsoft's examples
+of how to use the control.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Fix wx.TreeCtrl to end label editing if the control loses
+focus (a slightly modified patch 1084592.)</p>
+<p>Added wx.EXEC_NODISABLE flag for wx.Execute, which will prevent all
+the app's windows being disabled while a synchronous child process is
+running.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Much work to correct painting (or leaving transparent) of
+control backgrounds, properly using background themes on XP, etc.</p>
+<p>Fixed a circular reference problem with wx.Timer. It will now
+completely cleanup after itself when the last reference to the timer
+is removed. If you were previously using timer.Destroy() to cleanup
+your timers it will no longer work. Instead you should hold a
+reference to the timer and then del the reference when you are
+finished with the timer.</p>
+<p>Updated to 1.3.24 of SWIG. All of my big patches have been applied to
+the main SWIG source tree, but unfortunatly there were also some bugs
+added that affected the wxPython build and a few details in my
+original patch were changed/removed, so we are still not free of
+patches. A new patch for SWIG is located in the wxPython/SWIG
+directory of the wxPython source tree. SWIG 1.3.24 plus this patch
+should be used by anyone who is making custom modifications to
+wxPython's .i files, or building their own extension modules or
+etc. that need to interact with the wxPython swigged types. For the
+morbidly curious, here are a few more details:</p>
+<blockquote>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>Since it is now possible easily and simply share the SWIG type
+tables across modules I reverted to always using the stock SWIG
+runtime instead of my slightly hacked up version of it exported
+via the wxPython C API.</li>
+<li>The %name directive is now deprecated so I replaced most uses of
+it with a custom %Rename macro that uses %rename internally.
+These will evetually need to be replaced with a DocDecl macro
+when docstrings are added for those items.</li>
+<li>The "this" attribute of all SWIGged classes is no longer a
+string containing a "swigified pointer", but rather a custom
+built-in type that holds the real C pointer to the object and
+the type info. It can be converted to a string like the old
+value using str() or to the long integer value of the pointer
+using long().</li>
+</ul>
+</blockquote>
+<p>Added SetDefaultPyEncoding and GetDefaultPyEncoding functions which
+will set/get the encoding used by wxPython to convert string or
+unicode objects to/from wxString objects. Previously the default
+Python encoding was always used, but unless the user had tweaked their
+sitecustomize.py file it is always "ascii", which would result in
+errors if the strings contained character codes >= 128.
+SetDefaultPyEncoding will now allow you to control which encoding will
+be used to do those conversions. The default encoding is set to the
+value of <cite>locale.getdefaultlocale()[1]</cite> when wxPython is first
+imported. Please see <a class="reference" href="http://www.alanwood.net/demos/charsetdiffs.html">http://www.alanwood.net/demos/charsetdiffs.html</a>
+for information on the differences between the common latin/roman
+encodings.</p>
+<p>Added wxStdDialogButtonSizer, which is a a special sizer that knows
+how to order and position standard buttons in order to conform to the
+current platform's standards. You simply need to add each <cite>wx.Button</cite>
+to the sizer, and be sure to create the buttons using the standard
+ID's. Then call <cite>Realize</cite> and the sizer will take care of the rest.</p>
+<p>wxMSW Toolbar: pass correct tool id (and not always -1) to the
+EVT_TOOL_RCLICKED handler</p>
+<p>wxGTK: Applied patch for combo box SELECTED events (no longer get
+lots of surplus events)</p>
+<p>wxGTK: Applied patch for proper menu highlight colour detection in
+wx.SystemSettings.</p>
+<p>wxGTK: Commited scrollbar patch #1093339 which sends lineup, linedown
+events based on intercepting the mouse down events.</p>
+<p>wxGTK: Applied patch #1102789 which solved conflicts between wxWidgets
+and GTK+'s context menu code.</p>
+<p>wxGTK: Applied patch #1100327 for correct feedback from DND actions
+(not all actions are allowed).</p>
+<p>Fixed memory leak in wxGrid::UpdateAttr[Rows][Or][Cols] (patch 1104355)</p>
+<p>For efficiency reasons, text controls no longer set the string for
+each text updated event, but rather query for the string value only
+when GetString is called from an event handler.</p>
+<p>Added wx.SL_INVERSE style which will cause wx.Slider to invert the min
+and max ends of the slider.</p>
+<p>Several patches applied, such as #1111174, #1110252 and others, that
+make the generic wx.TreeCtrl (used on wxGTK and wxMac) be more
+conistent with the wxMSW native wx.TreeCtrl.</p>

+<li>Edit->Locate command (Ctrl-L) for quick selection of items.

+</ul>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<p>wxMac: Fixed a long-standing issue where wxSlider controls with a
+hardcoded size would misplace their labels behind the slider control.</p>
+<p>wx.HtmlListBox fixed so calling RefreshLine(s) will cause the data for
+that line to be refetched from the overridden methods in the derived
+class.</p>
+<p>The default DoGetBestSize now includes the difference (if any) between
+the client size and total size of the window, (such as the size of
+borders.) Code that sets the client size using the best size, or that
+added extra space to sizers to compensate for this bug may need to be
+changed.</p>
+<p>Can suppress themed notebook pages with the wxNB_NOPAGETHEME style or
+setting system option msw.notebook.themed-background to 0.</p>
+<p>wxSyledTextCtrl updated to use Scintilla 1.62.</p>
+<p>Can now set the msw.window.no-clip-children system option to 1 to
+eliminate weird refresh behaviour (delays between a window being
+erased and repainted, giving a ghostly gradual-redraw effect). May be
+a temporary 'fix' until properly fixed before 2.6.</p>
+<p>wxMac: Toolbar is now more native looking with borderless toolbar
+buttons.</p>
+<p>wxMac: Switched wx.Bitmap to use newer Quartz object types and APIs
+internally. This results in faster display and better alpha support.</p>
+<p>Added wx.DatePickerCtrl.</p>
+<p>wx.html.HtmlWindow now supports background images.</p>
+<p>Added wx.lib.gestures module from Daniel Pozmanter which supports
+using Mouse Gestures in an application.</p>
+<p>wxGTK2: ENTER and LEAVE mouse events are now sent for multi-line text
+controls.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: "Alt" key (VK_MENU) now results in WXK_ALT keyboard event, not
+WXK_MENU</p>
+<p>Added modules from Peter Yared and Morgan Hua that implement the wx
+Doc/View framework in pure Python code. See wx.lib.docview for the
+base implementation and wx.lib.pydocview for Python-specific
+extensions. There are also a couple sample applications located in
+samples/docview.</p>
+<p>Added GetBitmap, GetIcon to wx.ImageList.</p>
+<p>wxGTK wx.Button.SetLabel no longer invalidates/resets the font.</p>
+<p>wx.Sizer.AddWindow, AddSizer, AddSpacer and etc. have now been
+undeprecated at the request of Riaan Booysen, the Boa Constructor team
+lead. Boa needs them to help keep track of what kind of item is being
+managed by the sizer. They are now just simple compatibility aliases
+for Add, and etc.</p>
+<p>The old C++ version of the OGL lib is no longer built by default. Use
+the Python version in the wx.lib.ogl package instead.</p>
+<p>The wx.iewin module is no longer built by default. You can use the
+wx.lib.iewin version instead.</p>
+<p>Fixed wx.BufferedPaintDC for scrolled windows to work whether the
+buffer is covering only the client area or the full virtual area of
+the scrolled window. By default it will assume that only the client
+area is covered. This is different than the old behavior so to
+indicate that the entire virtual area is covered simply add a
+style=wx.BUFFER_VIRTUAL_AREA parameter.</p>
+<p>wx.gizmos.TreeListCtrl: Add support for the EVT_TREE_ITEM_GETTOOLTIP
+event.</p>
+<p>Added Resize, SetRGBRect, Size, and GetOrFindMaskColour methods to
+wx.Image.</p>
