+wx.ADJUST_MINSIZE is now the default behaviour for window items in
+sizers. This means that the item's GetMinSize and/or GetBestSize will
+be called when calculating layout and the return value from that will
+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.
+
+Added some convenience methods to wx.Bitmap: SetSize, GetSize, and
+wx.EmptyBitmap can be called with a wx.Size (or a 2-element sequence)
+object too. Similar changes were done for wx.Image as well.
+
+Added new MaskedEditControl code from Will Sadkin. The modules are
+now locaed in their own sub-package, wx.lib.masked. Demos updated.

big changes that have happened in this release and how you should
adapt your code.)

The wxWindows project and library is now known as wxWidgets. Please
see http://www.wxwindows.org/name.htm for more details. This won't
really affect wxPython all that much, other than the fact that the
There are some big changes in the OS X disk image. The actual
Installer package now *only* installs the wxMac dynlibs, wxPython
-extension modules and Python pacakges, and also the command-line tool
+extension modules and Python packages, and also the command-line tool
scripts. The remaining items (demo, samples, and application bundles
for the Demo, PyCrust and XRCed) are now top-level items in the disk
image (.dmg file) that users can just drag and drop to wherever they
Added wx.Display and wx.VideoMode.
+AppleEvents can be handled by overriding wx.App methods MacOpenFile,
+MacPrintFile, MacNewFile, and MacReopenApp.
+
+Added wx.PlatformInfo which is a tuple containing strings that
+describe the platform and build options of wxPython. See the
+MigrationGuide for more details.
+
+Created a new extension module "activex" from Lindsay Mathieson's
+newest wxActiveX_ class. (The existing iewin module used an older
+version of this code, but only exposed the wxIEHtmlWin class.) This
+new module will (in theory ;-) ) allow you to host arbitrary ActiveX
+controls in a wx.Window, **without** requiring the use of the win32com
+and other PyWin32 modules! This should eliminate the cronic problems
+that have resulted from minor mismatches in how PyWin32 handles the
+GIL and tstate when making callbacks, etc. The older iewin module
+will be left in this release as the new stuff is not fully backwards
+compatible, but you should migrate your code to the new IEHtmlWindow
+in wx.lib.iewin, so the old one can be eventually removed.
+Additionally, I've always considered that the wx.lib.activexwrapper
+module is an ugly hack that I only included in the lib because I
+couldn't figure out anything better. Well now we have something that,
+if it isn't already, has the potential to be better. So consider
+migrating away from using activexwrapper as well. Please see the
+MigrationGuide for more details on using the new module.

+Floats are allowed again as function parameters where ints are expected.
