Recent Changes for wxPython
=====================================================================
+2.5.5.0
+-------
+
+wxMSW: Fixed bug #1022383, 'several ComboBoxes appear selected'
+
+wx.grid.Grid: Fixed bug #1163384. Moved the code that handles
+activating the cell editors to a EVT_CHAR event handler. This is done
+so the character inserted into the editor will be the "cooked" char
+value (including accented or composed keys) rather than the raw code
+provided by the EVT_KEY_DOWN event.
+
+Added orient parameter to wx.MDIParentFrame.Tile()
+
+wxMSW: wxTextCtrl with wx.TE_RICH2 style now uses RichEdit 4.1 if
+available.
+
+Added GetCount, GetCountRGB, and GetCountColour methods to
+wx.ImageHistogram.
-2.5.3.3
+wxMSW: wx.Window.Refresh changed to explicitly refresh all children
+as well. Previously it was implicitly done because parents did not
+clip thier children by default. Now that they always clip then
+Refresh needed to do a recursive refresh. This also fixes the
+Freeze/Thaw problems that some people had with 2.5.4.1.
+
+
+
+
+2.5.4.1
-------
wx.Sizer Add, Insert, and Prepend functions now return a reference to the
out-of-sync assert is generated when clicking on a radio button and
then calling GetValue().
-XRC:
+Some XRC changes:
- Added 'icon' property to wxFrame and wxDialog
- No longer ignores menu bitmaps on non-MSW platforms
- Notebook page bitmaps are now supported
OGL patch from Shane Holloway:
Two simple problems found in the new python ogl code. First is
- the patch for _canvas.py. Essentially:
+ the patch for _canvas.py. Essentially::
dx = abs(dc.LogicalToDeviceX(x - self._firstDragX))
dy = abs(dc.LogicalToDeviceY(y - self._firstDragY))
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
+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:
* 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.
+ when docstrings are added for those items.
* The "this" attribute of all SWIGged classes is no longer a
string containing a "swigified pointer", but rather a custom
be used to do those conversions. The default encoding is set to the
value of `locale.getdefaultlocale()[1]` when wxPython is first
imported. Please see http://www.alanwood.net/demos/charsetdiffs.html
-for subtle differences between the common latin/roman encodings.
+for information on the differences between the common latin/roman
+encodings.
+
+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 `wx.Button`
+to the sizer, and be sure to create the buttons using the standard
+ID's. Then call `Realize` and the sizer will take care of the rest.
+
+wxMSW Toolbar: pass correct tool id (and not always -1) to the
+EVT_TOOL_RCLICKED handler
+
+wxGTK: Applied patch for combo box SELECTED events (no longer get
+lots of surplus events)
+
+wxGTK: Applied patch for proper menu highlight colour detection in
+wx.SystemSettings.
+
+wxGTK: Commited scrollbar patch #1093339 which sends lineup, linedown
+events based on intercepting the mouse down events.
+
+wxGTK: Applied patch #1102789 which solved conflicts between wxWidgets
+and GTK+'s context menu code.
+
+wxGTK: Applied patch #1100327 for correct feedback from DND actions
+(not all actions are allowed).
+
+Fixed memory leak in wxGrid::UpdateAttr[Rows][Or][Cols] (patch 1104355)
+
+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.
+
+Added wx.SL_INVERSE style which will cause wx.Slider to invert the min
+and max ends of the slider.
+
+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.
+
+XRCed:
+ * Edit->Locate command (Ctrl-L) for quick selection of items.
+ Works with event-handling controls (buttons, text fields) but
+ not with labels/sizers.
+ * Some improvements: relative paths for files supplied as command-
+ line argument work correctly, notebook panels are highlighted
+ better.
+
+wxMac: Fixed a long-standing issue where wxSlider controls with a
+hardcoded size would misplace their labels behind the slider control.
+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.
+
+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.
+
+Can suppress themed notebook pages with the wxNB_NOPAGETHEME style or
+setting system option msw.notebook.themed-background to 0.
+
+wxSyledTextCtrl updated to use Scintilla 1.62.
+
+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.
+
+wxMac: Toolbar is now more native looking with borderless toolbar
+buttons.
+
+wxMac: Switched wx.Bitmap to use newer Quartz object types and APIs
+internally. This results in faster display and better alpha support.
+
+Added wx.DatePickerCtrl.
+
+wx.html.HtmlWindow now supports background images.
+
+Added wx.lib.gestures module from Daniel Pozmanter which supports
+using Mouse Gestures in an application.
+
+wxGTK2: ENTER and LEAVE mouse events are now sent for multi-line text
+controls.
+
+wxMSW: "Alt" key (VK_MENU) now results in WXK_ALT keyboard event, not
+WXK_MENU
+
+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.
+
+Added GetBitmap, GetIcon to wx.ImageList.
+
+wxGTK wx.Button.SetLabel no longer invalidates/resets the font.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+The wx.iewin module is no longer built by default. You can use the
+wx.lib.iewin version instead.
+
+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.
+
+wx.gizmos.TreeListCtrl: Add support for the EVT_TREE_ITEM_GETTOOLTIP
+event.
+
+Added Resize, SetRGBRect, Size, and GetOrFindMaskColour methods to
+wx.Image.
+
+Added wx.Rect.IsEmpty
+
+wxGTK:
+ - Corrected wx.ListBox selection handling
+ - Corrected default button size handling for different themes
+ - Corrected splitter sash size and look for different themes
+ - Fixed keyboard input for dead-keys
automatically. Additionally on the platforms that have a native
concept of a stock button (currently only GTK2) then the native stock
button will be used. For example, the following will result in a
-button with "Cancel" as the label and an accelerator on the "C", and
-if run on wxGTK2 then there will also be an image of a red X::
+button with "Cancel" as the label and if run on wxGTK2 then there will
+also be an image of a red X::
b = wx.Button(parent, wx.ID_CANCEL)
... wx.MilliSleep(10)
+wxGTK: Applied wxNO_BORDER patch (#1098374) for text control and combo
+box.
