+<ul class="simple">
+<li>10-Jan-2006</li>
+</ul>
+<p>wxMSW: Fix for bug #1211907, popup menu indenting inconsistent with
+bitmaps.</p>
+<p>wxMac: Don't send an event for wx.RadioButton deselections, just the
+selections. This was done to make it consistent with the other
+platforms.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Always set flat toolbar style, even under XP with themes: this
+is necessary or separators aren't shown at all.</p>
+<p>Fixes for bug #1217872, pydocview.DocService not correctly initialized.</p>
+<p>Fix for bug #1217874, Error in parameter name in DocManager.CreateView.</p>
+<p>Added wrappers for the wx.RendererNative class.</p>
+<p>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.</p>
+<p>Docview and IDE patch from Morgan Hua with fix for bug #1217890
+"Closing view crashes Python" plus some new features:</p>
+<pre class="literal-block">
+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.
+</pre>
+<p>Some fixes to XRCed to make encoding errors a bit more user friendly.</p>
+<p>XRCed changes from Roman Rolinsky:</p>
+<blockquote>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>Added new controls (Choicebook, Listbook, StatusBar,
+DatePicker), and completed style flags. Test window is opened
+for an available parent control if no specific view
+defined. Better handling of exceptions (highlighting does not
+'stick' anymore).</li>
+<li>Use system clipboard for Copy/Paste.</li>
+<li>Improved some dialogs (window styles, growable cols). Changed
+the range for wxSpinCtrl min/max to all integers (default 0/100
+is not always good).</li>
+</ul>
+</blockquote>
+<p>Updates for wx.lib.foldpanelbar and wx.lib.hyperlink from Andrea
+Gavana.</p>
+<p>Fix for Bug #1283496: wxPython TheClipboard class causes problems for
+pychecker. Ensure the app has been created before initializing
+wx.TheClipboard.</p>
+<p>Fix for Bug #1352602: FileBrowseButtonWithHistory can't type in Value.</p>
+<p>wxHTML: Added space after list item number.</p>
+<p>wx.lib.printout: Applied patch #1384440.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Fix for Bug #1293225 Window_FromHWND crashes if parent is
+None.</p>
+<p>Fix for Bug #1261669, use a wx.TE_RICH2 style for the Process demo so
+it doesn't fill up too soon.</p>
+<p>Applied Patch #1354389: wxPython MenuItem SetBitmaps fix.</p>
+<p>Applied Patch #1239456: wxPython wx.DataObject.GetAllFormats fix.</p>
+<p>Applied Patch # #1230107 which allows image handlers to be written in
+Python by deriving from wx.PyImageHandler.</p>
+<p>Applied patch #1072210: generalize printout.py to allow text printing.</p>
+<p>Applied patch #1243907: Give Throbber much more flexibility by
+allowing the user to set the rest image, the direction, the current
+index, custom sequence. Allows user to manually step through the
+sequence with Next(), Previous(), Increment(), Decrement() &
+SetCurrent(). Very handy if you have multiple throbbers that you want
+to synchronize with a single timer.</p>
+<p>Fix for bug #1336711: wx.lib.calendar.CalenDlg can yield incorrect
+result.</p>
+<p>Applied patch from Morgan Hua for updates to ActiveGrid code
+(pydocview, ActiveGrid IDE, etc.)</p>
+<p>Applied patch #1326241: Supporting "setup.py install --install-headers=path"</p>
+<p>Applied patch from Morgan Hua to fix bug #1219423: CommandManager
+should not repeat old commands after a branch.</p>
+<p>Applied patch #1238825 adding search backward capabilities to the
+demo. Modified to use the up/down options in the wx.FindReplaceDialog
+instead of a separate menu item.</p>
+<p>Fix for bug #1266745 and #1387725 in the wx.FindReplaceDialog on MSW.
+Actually check we are using MSLU before doing the hack designed to
+workaround a bug in MSLU!</p>
+<p>wxMSW: wx.lib.iewin.IEHtmlWindow now properly handles tabbing, return
+and other special keys properly.</p>
+<p>Lots of PyCrust enhancments started by Franz Steinaeusler, Adi Sieker,
+and Sebastian Haase, and which in turn were further enhanced, fixed
+tweaked and finished up by me. The changes include the following:</p>
+<blockquote>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>The Autocomplete and Calltip windows can now be opened manually
+with Ctrl-Space and Ctrl-Shift-Space.</li>
+<li>In the stand alone PyCrust app the various option settings,
+window size and position, and etc. are saved and restored at the
+next run.</li>
+<li>Added a help dialog bound to the F1 key that shows the key
+bindings.</li>
+<li>Added a new text completion function that suggests words from
+the history. Bound to Shift-Return.</li>
+<li>F11 will toggle the maximized state of the frame.</li>
+<li>switched to Bind() from wx.EVT_*().</li>
+<li>Display of line numbers can be toggled.</li>
+<li>F12 toggles a "free edit" mode of the shell buffer. This mode
+is useful, for example, if you would like to remove some output
+or errors or etc. from the buffer before doing a copy/paste.
+The free edit mode is designated by the use of a red,
+non-flashing caret.</li>
+<li>Ctrl-Shift-F will fold/unfold (hide/show) the selected lines.</li>
+<li>General code cleanup and fixes.</li>
+<li>Use wx.StandardPaths to determine the location of the config
+files.</li>
+<li>Use wx.SP_LIVE_UPDATE on crust and filling windows.</li>
+<li>Extended the saving of the config info and other new features to
+the PyShell app too. Additionally, other apps that embed a
+PyCrust or a PyShell can pass their own wx.Config object and
+have the Py code save/restore its settings to/from there.</li>
+<li>All of the classes with config info get an opportunity to
+save/load their own settings instead of putting all the
+save/load code in one place that then has to reach all over the
+place to do anything.</li>
+<li>Enable editing of the startup python code, which will either be
+the file pointed to by PYTHONSTARTUP or a file in the config dir
+if PYTHONSTARTUP is not set in the environment.</li>
+<li>Added an option to skip the running of the startup code when
+PyShell or PyCrust starts.</li>
+<li>PyCrust adds a pp(item) function to the shell's namespace that
+pretty prints the item in the Display tab of the notebook.
+Added code to raise that tab when pp() is called.</li>
+<li>Added an option for whether to insert text for function
+parameters when popping up the call tip.</li>
+<li>Added Find and Find-Next functions that use the
+wx.FindReplaceDialog.</li>
+</ul>
+</blockquote>
+<p>Applied patches from Will Sadkin for wx.lib.masked modules:</p>
+<blockquote>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>Now ignores kill focus events when being destroyed.</li>
+<li>Added missing call to set insertion point on changing fields.</li>
+<li>Modified SetKeyHandler() to accept None as means of removing
+one.</li>
+<li>Fixed keyhandler processing for group and decimal character
+changes.</li>
+<li>Fixed a problem that prevented input into the integer digit of a
+integerwidth=1 numctrl, if the current value was 0.</li>
+<li>Fixed logic involving processing of "_signOk" flag, to remove
+default sign key handlers if false, so that
+SetAllowNegative(False) in the NumCtrl works properly.</li>
+<li>Fixed selection logic for numeric controls so that if
+selectOnFieldEntry is true, and the integer portion of an
+integer format control is selected and the sign position is
+selected, the sign keys will always result in a negative value,
+rather than toggling the previous sign.</li>
+</ul>
+</blockquote>
+<p>wx.FontMapper.SetConfig is deprecated. You should instead just set an
+application-wide config object with wx.Config.Set, which wx.FontMapper
+will use by default.</p>
+<p>Added wx.GetMouseState which returns the current state of the mouse.
+It returns an instance of a wx.MouseState object that contains the
+current position of the mouse pointer in screen coordinants, as well
+as boolean values indicating the up/down status of the mouse buttons
+and the modifier keys.</p>
+<p>Added wx.SizerItem.SetUserData</p>
+<p>A variety of updates to wx.lib.floatcanvas, including Added
+DrawObjects, including a ScaledTextBox, with auto-wrapping, etc, and
+Scaled and Unscaled Bitmap Objects.</p>
+<blockquote>
+WARNING: Changed all DrawObjects to take an (x,y) pair rather
+than individual x,y parameters. Also changed rectangles and
+ellipses to take (w,h) pair. This is an API change, but should
+be easy to accommodate, all you need to do is add a parenthesis
+pair: (...x, y, ...) ---> (...(x,y), ...)</blockquote>
