Recent Changes for wxPython
=====================================================================
-2.5.1.6
+2.5.2.0
-------
wx.ADJUST_MINSIZE is now the default behaviour for window items in
-sizers. This means that the item's GetAdjustedBestSize will be called
-when calculating layout and the return value from that will be used
-for the minimum size. Added wx.FIXED_MINSIZE flag for when you would
-like the old behavior but you should only need it when your desired
-size is smaller than the item's GetBestSize. 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.
+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 used by the sizer. The wx.FIXED_MINSIZE
+flag was added that will cause the sizer to use the old behaviour in
+that it will *not* call the window's 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.
+
+Related to the above, when controls and some other window types are
+created either the size passed to the constructor, or their "best
+size" if an explicit size was not passed in, is set as the window's
+minimal size. For non top-level windows that hasn't meant much in the
+past, but now the sizers are sensitive to the window's minimal size.
+The key point to understand here is that it is no longer the window's
+size it has when added to the sizer that matters, but its minimal
+size. So you might have some issues to iron out if you create a
+control without a size and then set its size to something before
+adding it to the sizer. Since it's minimal size is probably not the
+size you set then the sizer will appear to be misbehaving. The fix is
+to either set the size when calling the window's constructor, or to
+reset the min size by calling SetSizeHints. You can call SetSizeHints
+at anytime to change the minsize of a window, just call the sizer's
+Layout method to redistribute the controls as needed.
+
+
+Added new MaskedEditControl code from Will Sadkin. The modules are
+now locaed in their own sub-package, wx.lib.masked. Demos updated.
+
+The changes that implemented the incompatible wx.DC methods in 2.5.1.5
+have been reverted. The wx.DC methods are now compatible with the 2.4
+implemetation. In addition a set of renamed methods have been added
+that take wx.Point and/or wx.Size objects instead of individual
+parameters.
+
+Added wx.lib.mixins.listctrl.TextEditMixin, a mixin class that allows
+all columns of a wx.ListCtrl in report mode to be edited.
+
+Deprecated the wx.iewin module.
+
+Deprecated the wx.Sizer.AddWindow, AddSizer, AddSpacer methods as well
+as their Insert* and Prepend* counterparts.
+
+Added a generic StaticBitmap class in wx.lib.statbmp for the same
+reasons that stattext was created, so it could be mouse sensitive on
+all platforms like normal windows. Also updated stattext.py and
+buttons.py to handle attribute (font & colour) defaults and
+inheritance the new way. If you have custom controls of your own you
+should review stattxt.py or one of the others to see how it is to be
+done.
+
+wx.InitAllImageHandlers is now an empty function that does nothing but
+exist for backwards compatibility. The C++ version is now called
+automatically when wxPython is initialized. Since all the handlers
+are included in the wxWidgets shared library anyway, this imposes only
+a very small amount of overhead and removes several unneccessary
+problems.
+
+Replaced wx/lib/pubsub.py with a version that uses weak references to
+track the subscribers, plus other fixes/additions. Thanks go to
+Oliver Schoenborn and Robb Shecter.
+
+wxGTK now uses gtk_init_check so wxPython can raise an exception if
+there is no DISPLAY available or other initializaion problem.
+
+wx.GetKeyState now has an implementation for wxGTK and is able to
+detect the up/down or toggle state of modifier and toggle keys.
+
+The LC_NUMERIC locale is now reset back to "C" (compatibility) when
+running on wxGTK to work around the fact that GTK requires the locale
+to be set to the system settings but Python depends on LC_NUMERIC
+remaining compatible with "C".
+
+Switched gizmos.TreeListCtrl to the newer version of the code from the
+wxCode project.
-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.
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
