Recent Changes for wxPython
=====================================================================
-2.5.2.9
+2.5.3.0
-------
wxMac focus and border refreshes corrected.
wxMac fix for not sending a native click to a control if it is not
enabled (does an enable itself)
-Added wx.lib.ogl.DrawnShape
+Added wx.lib.ogl.DrawnShape, and fixed various little bugs in the new
+OGL.
Added support to XRC and XRCed for the 3-state checkbox flags and also
for wx.ToggleButton. Updated the generic window styles supported by
Added wrapper for wx.grid.Grid.GetOrCreateCellAttr.
+Removed my copy of distutils from the wxPython source tree. Now that
+I am no longer doing builds on Python 2.1 the newest distutils is no
+longer needed. (There is still one small bug in Python 2.2 distutils
+on win32, but it is easily worked around.) This sovles the problem of
+incorrect builds on some systems where the system installed distutils
+has been patched to behave slightly differently, for example SuSE on
+x86_64 or Chandler's build.
+
+Updated to SWIG 1.3.22 (plus my patch.) See wxPython/SWIG/README.txt
+in the source tree if you need to use SWIG when building your own copy
+of wxPython, or other extension modules that need to integrate with
+the wxPython modules.
+
+Added wx.Frame.RequestUserAttention which, if the platform suports it,
+will do something (such as flash the task bar item) to suggest to the
+user that they should look at that window.
+
+"Fixed" wx.grid.Grid.SetDefaultEditor and SetDefaultRenderer by making
+them register the editor or renderer for the "string" data type.
+
+Added depth param to wx.Image.ConvertToBitmap.
+
+Extended the wx.calendar.CalendarCtrl class with methods that get/set
+a Python datetime or date object. (These will only work with Python
+2.3+) The methods are PySetDate, PyGetDate, PySetLowerDateLimit,
+PySetUpperDateLimit, PySetDateRange, PyGetLowerDateLimit, and
+PyGetUpperDateLimit. Also, CalendarEvent was extended with PySetDate
+and PyGetDate methods.
+
+wxMSW: SetBackgroundColour on a wx.Choice or a wx.ComboBox will now
+also set the colour of the dropdown.
+
+wxMac: MessageDialog now supports wx.NO_DEFAULT style
+
+wxMSW: added AssociateHandle and DissociateHandle to wx.Window
+
+wxMac: fix for toolbar tooltips
+
+wx.Sizer.Show (and Hide) now take an optional parameter specifying if
+the item to be shown should be searched for recursivly in subsizers,
+and return a boolean value indicating if the item was found.
+
+wxMSW: fixed MaximizeEvent generation in wx.Frame
+
+wxMSW: fixed sending duplicate EVT_COMBOBOX events
+
+Smoother time estimation updates in wx.ProgressDialog (patch 992813)

+WS_VISIBLE; also refresh the control automatically (closes bug
+1019440)
+
+Added wx.Choicebook, yet another notebook-like control.
+
+wxMSW: Make radiobutton tab behaviour the same on MSW as in standard
+MSW app, i.e. tab into the activated, not necessarily the first radio
+button.
+
+Added limited support for wxEventLoop (you can't derive from a
+wx.PyEventLoop version yet...) Updated and moved the sample showing
+how to replace the MainLoop to samples/mainloop/mainloop.py.
+
+The C++ xrc lib has been moved out of contrib and into the core, so it
+is always built by default. wxPython's build has also changed
+accordingly and will build the xrc module as part of the core set of
+modules built by default. If you were axplicitly using BUILD_XRC then
+it will no longer be recognized as a build option, otherwise you
+should notice no difference.
+
+wxMac: Fixed radio toolbar buttons to correctly untoggle the others
+when a new one is selected.
+
+wxMac: Fixed GetLineLength and GetLineText for MLTE text controls
+
+wxMac: wx.TaskBarIcon is implemented by allowing you to change the
+app's icon on the Dock and also specifying a menu that should be
+merged with the normal dock popup menu. See the MigrationGuide for
+more details and a warning.
+
+Added wx.TopLevelWindow.IsActive() which tells you if the frame or
+dialog is or containts the active window with the keyboard focus.
