+wxMSW:  Fix wx.TreeCtrl to end label editing if the control loses
+focus (a slightly modified patch 1084592.)
+
+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. 
+
+wxMSW: Much work to correct painting (or leaving transparent) of
+control backgrounds, properly using background themes on XP, etc.
+
+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.
+
+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:
+
+    * 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.
+
+    * 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.
+
+    * 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().
+
+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 `locale.getdefaultlocale()[1]` when wxPython is first
+imported.  Please see http://www.alanwood.net/demos/charsetdiffs.html
+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 `Finalize` 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.  (Only for wxGTK so far.)
