+2.5.5.0
+-------
+
+wxMSW: Fixed bug #1022383, 'several ComboBoxes appear selected'
+
+wx.grid.Grid: Fixed bug #1163384. Moved the code that handles
+activating the cell editors to a EVT_CHAR event handler. This is done
+so the character inserted into the editor will be the "cooked" char
+value (including accented or composed keys) rather than the raw code
+provided by the EVT_KEY_DOWN event.
+
+Added orient parameter to wx.MDIParentFrame.Tile()
+
+wxMSW: wxTextCtrl with wx.TE_RICH2 style now uses RichEdit 4.1 if
+available.
+
+Added GetCount, GetCountRGB, and GetCountColour methods to
+wx.ImageHistogram.
+
+wxMSW: wx.Window.Refresh changed to explicitly refresh all children as
+well as the parent. Previously it was implicitly done because parents
+did not clip their children by default. Now that they always clip
+children then Refresh needed to be fixed to do a recursive refresh.
+This also fixes the Freeze/Thaw problems that some people had with
+2.5.4.1.
+
+wx.SplitterWindow: Send EVT_SPLITTER_SASH_POS_CHANGED only once after
+end of dragging and not after each CHANGING event (modified patch
+#1076226)
+
+wx.glcanvas.GLCanvas: applied patch fixing problems with X server
+crash when using nVidia cards (patch 1155132)
+
+wx.lib.mixins.listctrl: Patches from Toni Brkic:
+ * Bugfix for TextEditMixin when the view can't be scrolled
+ * Enhancement for ListCtrlAutoWidthMixin, allowing it to manage
+ the width of any column.
+
+wxMac: removal and reusing toolbar tools like the other platforms is
+now possible.
+
+wxMac: Correct radio tool selection after calling Realize a 2nd time.
+
+wxMSW: Applied patch #1166587, removes all flicker from wx.StaticBox
+
+Added wx.lib.foldpanelbar, Andrea Gavana's port of Jorgen Bodde's C++
+wxFoldPanelBar classes to Python.
+
+wxGTK: Applied patch #1173802, reimplementation of GtkFileChooser
+wxFileDialog by Mart Raudsepp. Note that this new file dialog is only
+used on GTK2 >= 2.4. For earlier GTK2 versions and GTK1 then the
+older generic file dialog is used.
+
+wxMSW: fixes to static box borders calculations (finalizes patch
+#1166587)
+
+wx.Image: Use Python's buffer interface API for all image data and
+alpha Set/Get methods and the ImageFromData* constructors. They all
+still copy the buffer except for SetDataBuffer and SetAlphaBuffer, but
+this gives more flexibility on where the data can come from.
+
+
+
+
+
+2.5.4.1
+-------
+
+wx.Sizer Add, Insert, and Prepend functions now return a reference to the
+wx.SizerItem that was added to the sizer, and the wx.SizerItem has a
+GetRect accessor to give the position of the item on the parent window.
+
+Added wx.Sizer.GetItem method which returns the wx.SizerItem for the given
+wx.Window, wx.Sizer or position index.
+
+wxMSW: wx.RadioButtons in the same group no longer have to be
+consecutive (there may be intervening controls). Without this fix, an
+out-of-sync assert is generated when clicking on a radio button and
+then calling GetValue().
+
+Some XRC changes:
+ - Added 'icon' property to wxFrame and wxDialog
+ - No longer ignores menu bitmaps on non-MSW platforms
+ - Notebook page bitmaps are now supported
+ - added system colours and fonts support (based on patch #1038207)
+
+wxMSW: fix for [ 1052989 ] TextCtrl.SetBackgroundColour(wx.NullColour)
+bug.
+
+Added wx.PasswordEntryDialog analagous to wx.TextEntryDialog, allows
+detecting entering an empty string vs. cancel unlike the
+wx.GetPasswordFromUser dialog function.
+
+OGL patch from Shane Holloway:
+
+ Two simple problems found in the new python ogl code. First is
+ the patch for _canvas.py. Essentially::
+
+ dx = abs(dc.LogicalToDeviceX(x - self._firstDragX))
+ dy = abs(dc.LogicalToDeviceY(y - self._firstDragY))
+
+ was incorrect because (x,y) and (self._firstDragX,
+ self._firstDragY) are both already in Logical coordinates.
+ Therefore the difference between the two is also in logical
+ coordinates, and the conversion call is an error. This bug
+ surfaces when you have OGL on a scrollwin, and you are far from
+ the origin of the canvas.
+
+ The second change in _composit.py basically removes the assumption
+ that the child is in both self._children and self._divisions.
+ Causes many problems when it's not. ;)
+
+Fixed GetSaveData and SetSaveData in wx.lib.multisash to not depend on
+the default way that class objectss are converted to strings.
+
+Fixed problem in StyledTextCtrl.Set[HV]ScrollBar that could leave the
+internal scrollbar visible.
+
+Added wx.StandardPaths which provides methods for determining standard
+system paths for each platform.
+
+wxMSW: The window background is now only erased by default if the
+background colour or background mode has been changed. This better
+allows the default system themed behaviour to show through for
+uncustomized windows. Explicit support added for using the correct
+theme texture for wx.Notebook pages and their children.
+
+wx.Image: Added support for alpha channels in interpolated and
+non-interpolated image rotation. Added ConvertAlphaToMask helper
+method for turning shades of grey into shades of alpha and a colour.
+
+wxGTK2: Reimplemented DoDrawRotatedText() by way of a rotation of an
+alpha blended text bitmap. It would be better if Pango could draw
+directly into an wxImage (as FreeType can,) but that is for later...
+
+Added wrappers and a demo for the wx.MediaCtrl class, which can play
+various forms of audio/video media using native codecs install on the
+system. So far it is only implemented for Windows and OSX.
+
+wxGTK: Patch applied for Freeze()/Thaw() for wxTextCtrtl.
+
+Added "gravity" for splitter window (patch 1046105). Gravity is a
+floating-point factor between 0.0 and 1.0 which controls position of
+sash while resizing the wx.SplitterWindow. The gravity specifies
+how much the left/top window will grow while resizing.
+
+wxMSW: wx.Slider's C++ implementation rewritten to be more
+maintainable and hopefully less buggy. The position of the labels has
+also been changed in order to better comply with Microsoft's examples
+of how to use the control.
+
+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 `Realize` 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.
+
+Several patches applied, such as #1111174, #1110252 and others, that
+make the generic wx.TreeCtrl (used on wxGTK and wxMac) be more
+conistent with the wxMSW native wx.TreeCtrl.
+
+XRCed:
+ * Edit->Locate command (Ctrl-L) for quick selection of items.
+ Works with event-handling controls (buttons, text fields) but
+ not with labels/sizers.
+ * Some improvements: relative paths for files supplied as command-
+ line argument work correctly, notebook panels are highlighted
+ better.
+
+wxMac: Fixed a long-standing issue where wxSlider controls with a
+hardcoded size would misplace their labels behind the slider control.
+
+wx.HtmlListBox fixed so calling RefreshLine(s) will cause the data for
+that line to be refetched from the overridden methods in the derived
+class.
+
+The default DoGetBestSize now includes the difference (if any) between
+the client size and total size of the window, (such as the size of
+borders.) Code that sets the client size using the best size, or that
+added extra space to sizers to compensate for this bug may need to be
+changed.
+
+Can suppress themed notebook pages with the wxNB_NOPAGETHEME style or
+setting system option msw.notebook.themed-background to 0.
+
+wxSyledTextCtrl updated to use Scintilla 1.62.
+
+Can now set the msw.window.no-clip-children system option to 1 to
+eliminate weird refresh behaviour (delays between a window being
+erased and repainted, giving a ghostly gradual-redraw effect). May be
+a temporary 'fix' until properly fixed before 2.6.
+
+wxMac: Toolbar is now more native looking with borderless toolbar
+buttons.
+
+wxMac: Switched wx.Bitmap to use newer Quartz object types and APIs
+internally. This results in faster display and better alpha support.
+
+Added wx.DatePickerCtrl.
+
+wx.html.HtmlWindow now supports background images.
+
+Added wx.lib.gestures module from Daniel Pozmanter which supports
+using Mouse Gestures in an application.
+
+wxGTK2: ENTER and LEAVE mouse events are now sent for multi-line text
+controls.
+
+wxMSW: "Alt" key (VK_MENU) now results in WXK_ALT keyboard event, not
+WXK_MENU
+
+Added modules from Peter Yared and Morgan Hua that implement the wx
+Doc/View framework in pure Python code. See wx.lib.docview for the
+base implementation and wx.lib.pydocview for Python-specific
+extensions. There are also a couple sample applications located in
+samples/docview.
+
+Added GetBitmap, GetIcon to wx.ImageList.
+
+wxGTK wx.Button.SetLabel no longer invalidates/resets the font.
+
+wx.Sizer.AddWindow, AddSizer, AddSpacer and etc. have now been
+undeprecated at the request of Riaan Booysen, the Boa Constructor team
+lead. Boa needs them to help keep track of what kind of item is being
+managed by the sizer. They are now just simple compatibility aliases
+for Add, and etc.
+
+The old C++ version of the OGL lib is no longer built by default. Use
+the Python version in the wx.lib.ogl package instead.
+
+The wx.iewin module is no longer built by default. You can use the
+wx.lib.iewin version instead.
+
+Fixed wx.BufferedPaintDC for scrolled windows to work whether the
+buffer is covering only the client area or the full virtual area of
+the scrolled window. By default it will assume that only the client
+area is covered. This is different than the old behavior so to
+indicate that the entire virtual area is covered simply add a
+style=wx.BUFFER_VIRTUAL_AREA parameter.
+
+wx.gizmos.TreeListCtrl: Add support for the EVT_TREE_ITEM_GETTOOLTIP
+event.
+
+Added Resize, SetRGBRect, Size, and GetOrFindMaskColour methods to
+wx.Image.
+
+Added wx.Rect.IsEmpty
+
+wxGTK:
+ - Corrected wx.ListBox selection handling
+ - Corrected default button size handling for different themes
+ - Corrected splitter sash size and look for different themes
+ - Fixed keyboard input for dead-keys
+
