Recent Changes for wxPython
=====================================================================
+2.6.1.1
+-------
+
+wxMSW: Fix for bug #1211907, popup menu indenting inconsistent with
+bitmaps.
+
+wxMac: Don't send an event for wx.RadioButton deselections, just the
+selections. This was done to make it consistent with the other
+platforms.
+
+wxMSW: Always set flat toolbar style, even under XP with themes: this
+is necessary or separators aren't shown at all.
+
+Fixes for bug #1217872, pydocview.DocService not correctly initialized
+
+Fix for bug #1217874, Error in parameter name in DocManager.CreateView
+
+Added wrappers for the wx.RendererNative class.
+
+Added the wx.lib.splitter module, which contains the
+MultiSplitterWindow class. This class is much like the standard
+wx.SplitterWindow class, except it allows more than one split, so it
+can manage more than two child windows.
+
+Docview and IDE patch from Morag Hua with fix for bug #1217890
+"Closing view crashes Python" plus some new features::
+
+ New feature added to the IDE is 'Extensions'. Under
+ Tools|Options|Extensions, you can add calls to external programs.
+ For example you can add a "Notepad" extension (under windows) that
+ will exec Notepad on the currently open file. A new "Notepad"
+ menu item will appear under the Tools menu.
+
+Some fixes to XRCed to make encoding errors a bit more user friendly.
+
+
+
+
+2.6.1.0
+-------
+* 4-June-2005
+
+wx.ListCtrl: patch #1210352, fixes editing in generic wx.ListCtrl with
+wx.LC_EDIT_LABELS.
+
+Applied patch #208286, MediaCtrl DirectShow rewrite.
+
+DocView patches from Morgan Hua: bug fixes, and additional SVN
+commands, also added a default template that uses the text editor for
+any unknown file type.
+
+wxMSW: Use the system IDC_HAND cursor for wx.CURSOR_HAND and only fallback
+to the strange wxWidgets version if the system one is not available.
+
+wx.grid.Grid: Merge the cell size attribute the same way that other
+attributes are merged, e.g., if it is already set to a non-default
+value in the current GridCellAttr object then don't merge from the
+other.
+
+wx.lib.evtmgr: Fixed to use wx._core._wxPyDeadObject
+
+wx.lib.gridmovers: Don't scroll when the mouse is dragged outside of
+the grid, unless the mouse is kept in motion.
+
+wxMSW: Applied patch #1213290 incorrect logic in
+wx.TopLevelWindow.ShowFullScreen.
+
+Applied patch #1213066 correct device names for Joystick in Linux.
+
+wxGTK: Applied patch #1207162 wx.TextCtrl.SetStyle fix for overlapping
+calls.
+
+wx.FileConfig: fixed DeleteEntry to set the dirty flag properly so the
+change will get written at the next flush.
+
+
+
+
2.6.0.1
-------
+* 30-May-2005
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.
+wxMSW: Fix for default control colours 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.
instead of current values.
Fixed the typemap that converts a Python list of strings to a
-wxArrayString so it uses the wxPy default encoding.
+wxArrayString so it uses the wxPython default encoding.
Several docstrings added and updated. Lots more to go.
+wxMac: Strings added to the clipboard or used in DnD no longer have an
+extra null character at the end.
+
+Added wx.GetXDisplay that returns a raw swigified pointer for the X11
+Display, or None for the non-X11 platforms.
+
+wxMenu: Don't send an event when selecting an already selected radio
+item.
+
+Added wx.LaunchDefaultBrowser.
+
+wxMSW: Fixed erroneous selection of content in wx.ComboBox when within
+a wx.StaticBox.
+
+wxMSW: Fixed alpha blitting to take into account source position.
+
+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
+situations.
+
+Added alternate constructors for wx.Font: wx.FontFromPixelSize,
+wx.FFont, wx.FFontFromPixelSize. See the docstrings or new api docs
+for details.
+
+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.
+
+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::
+
+ import wxversion
+ wxversion.select("2.6-unicode", True)
+ import wx
+
+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.
+
+wxMSW: Fix for wrong sash colour of wx.SplitterWindow in the silver
+theme on XP.
+
+Added a wx.xrc.XmlResourceHandler for the Ticker class. See
+wx/lib/ticker_xrc.py
+
+wxSTC: Fixed CmdKeyAssign key bindings for Ctrl-Backspace.
+
+wxMSW: Fixed a bug in wx.TextCtrl where all the lines were being used
+to calculate the best size, instead of using a reasonable limit.
+
+XRCed: Use wx.GetDefaultPyEncoding/wx.SetDefaultPyEncoding for
+changing active encoding. Fixed pasting siblings (Ctrl key pressed
+while pasting).
+
+wx.lib.filebrowsebutton: Bug fix from Chad Netzer for when
+self.history is None.
+
+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.
+
+wxMSW: setting foreground colour for wx.CheckBox now works when using
+XP themes.
+
+More updates to the docview library modules and sample apps from the
+ActiveGrid folks. Their sample IDE is now able to integrate with
+Subversion.
+
+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.
+
+wxGTK: Add wxSTAY_ON_TOP support [Patch 1206023]
+
+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.
+
+wxGTK: Setting background colour of a window now only affects the
+window itself, not the borders, scrollbars, etc. (Bug #1204069)
+
+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.
+
+wxMac: Applied patch for bug #1206181 Option-key decodes are wrong,
+also applied patch for bug #1205691 Modified Fn keys don't work.
+
+wx.Image: Fixed to preserve alpha channel in Rotate90 method.
+
+wxMSW: Fixed incorrect background colour on wx.CheckListBox.
+
+wxMSW: Fixed drawing of owner drawn buttons with multiline labels
+
+Removed a bunch of unnecessary files, and removed or replaced images
+that we're not sure of their origin or license.
+
+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.
+
+wxMSW: When converting a wx.Icon to a bitmap check if the icon has an
+alpha channel and set the bitmap to use it.
+
+Fixed the wrong class name used in wx.PyScrolledWindow's call to
+_setCallbackInfo.
+
+wxMSW: patch #1207202, Fixes GDI leak when using stock cursors.
+
+wx.calendar.CalendarCtrl: Patch #1207531, Keeps the CalendarCtrl wide
+enough even when the weekday names for the locale are shorter than
+usual.
+
+Made GridCellNumberEditor.StartingKey also insert the typed char when
+there is a range of allowed values (so a wx.SpinCtrl is used instead
+of a wx.TextCtrl.)
+
