<h1 class="title">Recent Changes for wxPython</h1>
<div class="section">
-<h1><a id="id1" name="id1">2.7.2.0</a></h1>
+<h1><a id="id1" name="id1">2.8.1.0</a></h1>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>8-Jan-2006</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Added EVT_TASKBAR_CLICK and use it to show taskbar icon menu on right
+button release, not press, under MSW (bug 1623761)</p>
+<p>Added wxTreeCtrl::CollapseAll[Children]() and IsEmpty() methods;
+documented wxTreeItemId (patch 1622125)</p>
+<p>Fix wxMDIChidFrame::GetPosition() (patch 1626610)</p>
+<p>Fix attribute memory leak in wxGrid::ShowCellEditControl() (patch
+1629949)</p>
+<p>wxGTK: Fix for controls on a toolbar being the full height of the
+toolbar instead of their natural height.</p>
+<p>wx.lib.customtreectrl patches from Andrea Gavana.</p>
+<p>wxMac: Applied patch #1622389, fixing two memory leaks in
+GetPartialTextExtents.</p>
+<p>More fixes for the native wx.ListCtrl on Mac.</p>
+<p>Added wx.aui.AuiNotebook.GetAuiManager().</p>
+<p>Added wx.aui.AuiMDIParentFrame and wx.aui.AuiMDIChildFrame, which
+essentially implement the MDI interface using a normal wx.Frame and a
+wx.aui.AuiNotebook.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section">
+<h1><a id="id2" name="id2">2.8.0.1</a></h1>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>11-Dec-2006</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Lots of fixes and updates to the AUI classes.</p>
+<p>Added wx.CollapsiblePane. On wxGTK it uses a native expander widget,
+on the other platforms a regular button is used to control the
+collapsed/expanded state.</p>
+<p>Added the wx.combo module, which contains the ComboCtrl and ComboPopup
+classes. These classes allow you to implement a wx.ComboBox-like
+widget where the popup can be nearly any kind of widget, and where you
+have a lot of control over other aspects of the combo widget as well.
+It works very well on GTK and MSW, using native renderers for drawing
+the combo button, but is unfortunatly still a bit klunky on OSX...</p>
+<p>Use system default paper size for printing instead of A4 by default.</p>
+<p>Added wx.combo.OwnerDrawnComboBox, which is a ComboCtrl that delegates
+the drawing of the items in the popup and in the control itself to
+overridden methods of a derived class, similarly to how wx.VListBox
+works.</p>
+<p>Added wx.combo.BitmapComboBox which is a combobox that displays a
+bitmap in front of the list items.</p>
+<p>Added the wx.lib.mixins.inspect module. It contains the InspectMixin
+class which can be mixed with a wx.App class and provides a PyCrust
+window that can be activated with a Ctrl-Alt-I keystroke (or Cmd-Alt-I
+on the Mac.)</p>
+<p>Added some modules from Riaan Booysen:</p>
+<blockquote>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>wx.lib.flagart: contains icons of the flags of many countries.</li>
+<li>wx.lib.art.img2pyartprov: makes images embedded in a python file
+with img2py available via the wx.ArtProvider.</li>
+<li>wx.lib.langlistctrl: A wx.ListCtrl for selecting a language,
+which uses the country flag icons.</li>
+<li>An I18N sample for the demo.</li>
+</ul>
+</blockquote>
+<p>wx.lib.masked: Patch from Will Sadkin. Includes Unicode fixes, plus
+more helpful exceptions and ability to designate fields in mask
+without intervening fixed characters.</p>
+<p>Added wx.SearchCtrl, which is a composite of a wx.TextCtrl with optional
+bitmap buttons and a drop-down menu. Controls like this can typically
+be found on a toolbar of applications that support some form of search
+functionality. On the Mac this control is implemented using the
+native HISearchField control, on the other platforms a generic control
+is used, although that may change in the future as more platforms
+introduce native search widgets.</p>
+<p>Added a set of button classes to wx.lib.buttons from David Hughes that
+uses the native renderer to draw the button.</p>

are needed.</p>
<p>wx.Image.Scale and Rescale methods now take an extra parameter
specifying type of method to use for resampling the image. It
provide a way to show a standard About box for the application, which
will either be a native dialog or a generic one depending on what info
is provided and if it can all be shown with the native dialog.</p>

+<p>The code in the animate contrib has been moved into the core wxWidgets
library, and refactored a bit along the way. For wxPython it still
exists in the wx.animate module, but has basically been reduced to two
classes, wx.animate.Animation, and wx.animate.AnimationCtrl. You load
wx.Window.IsDoubleBuffered method.</p>
