+Switched to using SWIG 1.3.27 for generating the wrapper code.  There
+are some small changes needed to SWIG to work around some bugs that
+wxPython exposes, and to be able to generate code that matches that
+which wxPython is using.  If you are building wxPython yourself and
+need to modify any of the \*.i files or to add your own, then you will
+want to be sure to use a matching SWIG.  See wxPython/SWIG/README.txt
+in the source tarbal for details.

+wx.Image.Copy now also copies the alpha channel.
+
+wxMSW: Fixed problem in wx.TextCtrl where using SetValue and
+wx.TE_RICH2 would cause the control to be shown if it was hidden. 
+
+wxMSW: Numpad special keys are now distinguished from normal keys in
+key events.
+
+wxMSW: Multiline notebook tab label change now resizes the control
+correctly if an extra row is removed or added.
+
+wxMSW: On XP fall back to unthemed wxNotebook if specified orientation
+not available in the themed version.

+Added wx.OutputStream.LastWrite.
+
+wxGTK: EVT_SET_CURSOR is now sent.
+
+wxGTK: Fix RequestMore for idle events.
+
+wxGTK: Implement user dashes for PS and GNOME printing.
+
+wxGTK: Correct update region code. Don't always invalidate the whole
+window upon resize. Reenable support for thewx.NO_FULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE 
+flag.  Also disable refreshing custom controls when focusing in and out.
+
+wx.lib.pubsub: Publisher is now able to parse a dotted notation string
+into a topic tuple.  For example: subscribing to "timer.clock.seconds"
+is the same as subscribing to ("timer", "clock", "seconds").

+NOTE: The STC_LEX_ASP and STC_LEX_PHP lexers have been deprecated,
+you should use STC_LEX_HTML instead.
