-be used for the minimum size.  The wx.FIXED_MINSIZE flag was added
-that will cause the sizer to *not* call window methods to determine
-the new best size, instead the minsize that the window had when added
-to the sizer (or the size the window was created with) will always be
-used.  When a window is added to a sizer it's initial size, if any, is
-set as the window's minimal size using SetSizeHints if there isn't
-already a minimal size.  You can set the window's minimal size (via
-SetSizeHints) to manually control wha tthe sizer will use when

 Added new MaskedEditControl code from Will Sadkin.  The modules are
 now locaed in their own sub-package, wx.lib.masked.  Demos updated.

+wx.InitAllImageHandlers is now an empty function that does nothing but
+exist for backwards compatibility.  The C++ version is now called
+automatically when wxPython is initialized.  Since all the handlers
+are included in the wxWidgets shared library anyway, this imposes only
+a very small amount of overhead and removes several unneccessary
+problems.
+
+Replaced wx/lib/pubsub.py with a version that uses weak references to
+track the subscribers, plus other fixes/additions.  Thanks go to
+Oliver Schoenborn and Robb Shecter.
+
+wxGTK now uses gtk_init_check so wxPython can raise an exception if
+there is no DISPLAY available or other initializaion problem.
+
+wx.GetKeyState now has an implementation for wxGTK and is able to
+detect the up/down or toggle state of modifier and toggle keys.
+
+The LC_NUMERIC locale is now reset back to "C" (compatibility) when
+running on wxGTK to work around the fact that GTK requires the locale
+to be set to the system settings but Python depends on LC_NUMERIC
+remaining compatible with "C".
+
+Switched gizmos.TreeListCtrl to the newer version of the code from the
+wxCode project.
+
+OGL is dead! LONG LIVE OGL!  (Oops, sorry.  A bit of my dramatic side
+leaked out there...)  The wx.ogl module has been deprecated in favor
+of the new Python port of the OGL library located at wx.lib.ogl
+contributed by Pierre Hjälm.  This will hopefully greatly extend the
+life of OGL within wxPython by making it more easily maintainable and
+less prone to getting rusty as there seems to be less and less
+interest in maintaining the C++ version.  At this point there are just
+a couple minor known compatibility differences, please see the
+MigrationGuide_ file for details.
+
+.. _MigrationGuide: MigrationGuide.html
+
+EVT_STC_POSCHANGED has been removed as it has been deprecated in
+Scintilla for several releases now.
+
+All the Window and GDI (pen, bitmap, etc.) class constructors and also
+many toplevel functions and static methods will now check that a
+wx.App object has already been created and will raise a
+wx.PyNoAppError exception if not.
+
+Added more default args as needed to allow most window types to be
+constructed with only the parent window arg.  In some cases other args
+may be required for normal operation, but they can usually be set
+after construction.
+
+Removed the deprecated ErrorDialogs and PythonBitmaps modules.  If you
+were using these in your apps then please join wxPython-dev and assist
+with a more modern reimplementation.
+
+Added a new version (0.8.3) of FloatCanvas from Chris Barker.  It's now
+in a subpackage of wx.lib.
+
+It is now possible to change the tab traversal order of controls on a
+panel or dialog.  For details see the new MoveAfterInTabOrder and
+MoveBeforeInTabOrder methods of wx.Window.
+
+Applied (and heavily modified) a patch from Eugene
+<svip123@fastmail.fm> that allows the sample modules in the demo to be
+edited and reloaded, all from within the demo.  You can switch back
+and forth between the default and your edited version, and any errors
+ocurring upon the reload are reported on the Demo tab.
+
+Added a menu item in the demo that will open a PyShell window that has
+the app and demo frame preloaded in the namespace.  This is another
+good way to explore and play with the objects in the currently running
+sample.  For example, load the Button sample and then do the following
+in the PyShell::
+
+       >>> b = frame.demoPage.GetChildren()[0]
+       >>> for x in range(0, 500, 10):
+       ...     b.Move((x, 50))
+       ...     app.Yield(True)
+       ...     wx.MilliSleep(10)
