+What's new in 2.1b2
+--------------------
+
+Added the missing wxWindow.GetUpdateRegion() method.
+
+Made a new change in SWIG (update your patches everybody) that
+provides a fix for global shadow objects that get an exception in
+their __del__ when their extension module has already been deleted.
+It was only a 1 line change in .../SWIG/Modules/pycpp.cxx at about
+line 496 if you want to do it by hand.
+
+It is now possible to run through MainLoop more than once in any one
+process.  The cleanup that used to happen as MainLoop completed (and
+prevented it from running again) has been delayed until the wxc module
+is being unloaded by Python.
+
+I fixed a bunch of stuff in the C++ version of wxGrid so it wouldn't
+make wxPython look bad.
+
+wxWindow.PopupMenu() now takes a wxPoint instead of  x,y.  Added
+wxWindow.PopupMenuXY to be consistent with some other methods.
+
+Added wxGrid.SetEditInPlace and wxGrid.GetEditInPlace.
+
+You can now provide your own app.MainLoop method.  See
+wxPython/demo/demoMainLoop.py for an example and some explaination.
+
+Got the in-place-edit for the wxTreeCtrl fixed and added some demo
+code to show how to use it.
+
+Put the wxIcon constructor back in for GTK as it now has one that
+matches MSW's.
+
+Added wxGrid.GetCells
+
+Added wxSystemSettings static methods as functions with names like
+wxSystemSettings_GetSystemColour.
+
+Removed wxPyMenu since using menu callbacks have been depreciated in
+wxWindows.  Use wxMenu and events instead.
+
+Added alternate wxBitmap constructor (for MSW only) as
+      wxBitmapFromData(data, type, width, height, depth = 1)
+
+Added a helper function named wxPyTypeCast that can convert shadow
+objects of one type into shadow objects of another type.  (Like doing
+a down-cast.)  See the implementation in wx.py for some docs.
+
+Fixed wxImage GetData and SetData to properly use String objects for
+data transfer.
+
+Added access methods to wxGridEvent.
+
+New Makefile/Setup files supporting multiple dynamic extension modules
+for unix systems.
+
+Fixes for the wxGLCanvas demo to work around a strange bug in gtk.
+
+SWIG support routines now compiled separately instead of being bundled
+in wx.cpp.
