CHANGES.txt for wxPython
=====================================================================
-2.5.1.x
+2.5.1.1
-------
(See also the MigrationGuide.txt file for details about some of the
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
+wxwindows.org domain name will be changing to wxwidgets.org, so mail
+list, CVS, and etc. addresses will be changing. We're going to try
+and smooth the transition as much as possible, but I wanted you all to
+be aware of this change if you run into any issues.

Many, many little fixes, changes and additions done as part of the move
-to wxWindows 2.5 that I have forgotten about.
+to wxWidgets 2.5 that I have forgotten about.
Added wxMirrorDC.
Added wxIconLocation
-Added Python wrappers for the new wxVScrolledWindow, wxVListBox, and
-wxHtmlListBox classes.
+Added Python wrappers and demos for the new wxVScrolledWindow,
+wxVListBox, and wxHtmlListBox classes.
Added wrappers for wxBookCtrl and wxListbook. wxNotebook now derives
from wxBookCtrl.
Python Global Interpreter Lock to try and prevent deadlocks that can
happen when there are nested attempts to aquire the GIL.
-The RPMs will now install menu items on Mandrake in
-Applications/Development/Tools for PyCrust, XRCed, etc. They are also
-installing icons and ``*.desktop`` items in the generic KDE and GNOME
-locations, but I don't know yet if they are resulting in menu items on
-non-Mandrake systems. (It didn't automatically do it on my RH-9 build
-box but I didn't chase it very far...) If you have ideas for how to
-improve the .spec file to work better and/or on more distros please
-send me a patch.

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 pacakges, and also the command-line tool
+extension modules and Python pacakges, 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
wxMac now has wx.ToggleButton!
+wx.stc.StyledTextCtrl has been updated to version 1.58 of Scintilla.
+
+To help with the wx.stc.StyledTextCtrl performance issues on wxMac
+I've added a SetUseAntiAliasing method (and GetUseAntiAliasing too)
+that will turn off the use of antialiased fonts in the wxSTC, allowing
+it to bypass the slow text measuring routines and use the fast and
+simple one instead. By default the setting is turned off (on wxMac
+only.) When run on OSX the Py* apps have a new item on the Options
+menu for controlling this setting if you would like to experiment with
+it.
+
+Updated wx.lib.calendar with many fixes and enhancements from Joerg
+"Adi" Sieker.
+
+Added wx.Display and wx.VideoMode.
