----------------------------------------------------------------------
+2.3.3
+-----
+Added wxSplashScreen.
+
+Added wxGenericDirCtrl.
+
+Added wxMultiChoiceDialog.
+
+The calltip window and autocomplete window in wxSTC will now use a
+wxPopupWindow if available so they can extend beyond the client area
+of the STC if needed.
+
+Finished wrapping and providing typemaps for wxInputStream and also
+added the stream ctor and other methods for wxImage so images can now
+be loaded from any Python "file-like" object.
+
+Changed the img2py tool to use PNG instead of XPM for embedding image
+data in Python source code, and the generated code now uses streams to
+convert the image data to wxImage, wxBitmap, or wxIcon.
+
+Added the wxPython.lib.rcsizer module which contains RowColSizer.
+This sizer is based on code from Niki Spahiev and lets you specify a
+row and column for each item, as well as optional column or row
+spanning. Cells with no item assigned to it are just left blank.
+Stretchable rows or columns are specified and work the same as in
+wxFlexGridSizer.
+
+Updated XRCed from Roman Rolinsky
+
+Added wxBufferedDC.
+
+Upgraded wxSTC from Scintilla 1.40 to Scintilla 1.45
+
+UNICODE!
+ wxWindows/wxPython can be compiled with unicode support enabled or
+ disabled. Previous to wxPython 2.3.3 non-unicode mode was always
+ used. Starting with 2.3.3 either mode is supported, but only if
+ it is also available in wxWindows on the platform. Currently
+ wxWindows only supports unicode on MS Windows platforms, but with
+ the recent release of GTK+ 2.0 it is only a matter of time until
+ it can be done on wxGTK (Linux and other unixes) as well.
+
+ Unicode works best on platforms in the NT branch of the Windows
+ family tree (NT, win2k, XP) but it is now also possible to use the
+ same unicode binaries on win95/98/ME platforms as well! This is
+ done by using a special library and DLL with the application
+ called MSLU, (Microsoft Layer for Unicode). It simply gets out of
+ the way if the app is run on an NT box, otherwise if run on a
+ win9x box it loads a special DLL that provides the unicode
+ versions of the windows API. So far I have not been able to get
+ this to work perfectly on win9x. Most things work fine but
+ wxTaskBarIcon for example will cause a crash if used with the
+ unicode build on win95.
+
+ So how do you use it? It's very simple. When unicode is enabled,
+ then all functions and methods in wxPython that return a wxString
+ from the C++ function will return a Python unicode object, and
+ parameters to C++ functions/methods that expect a wxString can
+ accept either a Python string or unicode object. If a string
+ object is passed then it will be decoded into unicode using the
+ converter pointed to by wxConvCurrent, which will use the default
+ system encoding. If you need to use a string in some other
+ encoding then you should convert it to unicode using the Python
+ codecs first and then pass the unicode string to the wxPython
+ method.
+
+Added wxListCtrlAutoWidthMixin from Erik Westra.
+
+Added wxIconBundle and wxTopLevelWindow.SetIcons.
+
+Added wxLocale and wxEncodingConverter.
+
+A little black magic... When the C++ object (for a window or
+whatever) is deleted there is no way to force the Python shadow object
+to also be destroyed and clean up all references to it. This leads to
+crashes if the shadow object tries to call a method with the old C++
+pointer. The black magic I've done is to replace the __class__ in the
+Python instance object with a class that raises an exception whenever
+a method call (or other attribute access) is attempted. This works
+for any class that is OOR aware.
+
+Added OOR support for wxGridCellRenderer, wxGridCellEditor,
+wxGridCellAttr, wxGridCellAttrProvider, wxGridTableBase and their
+derived classes.
+
+Added wxImage.GetDataBuffer which returns an in-place edit buffer of
+the image data. (Patch #546009)
+
+Added a sample that shows how to embed wxPython in a wxWindows C++
+application.
+
+Added wxPyWindow and wxPyControl which are just like their wx
+counterparts except they allow some of the more common C++ virtual
+methods to be overridden in Python derived classes. The methods
+supported are:
+
+ DoMoveWindow
+ DoSetSize
+ DoSetClientSize
+ DoSetVirtualSize
+ DoGetSize
+ DoGetClientSize
+ DoGetPosition
+ DoGetVirtualSize
+ DoGetBestSize
+ InitDialog
+ TransferDataFromWindow
+ TransferDataToWindow
+ Validate
+ AcceptsFocus
+ AcceptsFocusFromKeyboard
+ GetMaxSize
+
+ If there are other methods that should be supported please let me
+ know.
+
+Changed wxGenButton to derive from wxPyControl and overload
+DoGetBestSize and AcceptsFocus.
+
+Added wxArtProvider.
+
+Added wxCallAfter which is a helper function that registers a function
+(or any callable Python object) to be called once the next time there
+are no pending events. This is useful for when you need to do
+something but it can't be done during the current event handler. The
+implementation is very simple, see wxPython/wx.py.
+
+Fixed a boatload of reference leaks.
+
+Added a demo of using a sizer in a wxScrolledWindow, in effect
+creating a ScrolledPanel.
+
+Added a sample to the demo that shows how to use radio menu items, and
+other menu stuff.
+
+Added wxIEHtmlWin. This is essentially the same as using IE with the
+ActiveXWrapper already in the library, but it is implemented all in
+C++ and therefore does not need any of the modules from win32 all and
+so it is less fragile in the face of changes.
+
+
+
+2.3.2.1
+-------
+Changed (again) how the Python global interpreter lock is handled as
+well as the Python thread state. This time it works on SMP machines
+without barfing and is also still compatible with Python debuggers.
+
+Added some patches from library contributors.
+
+
+
+2.3.2
+-----
+Added EVT_HELP, EVT_HELP_RANGE, EVT_DETAILED_HELP,
+EVT_DETAILED_HELP_RANGE, EVT_CONTEXT_MENU, wxHelpEvent,
+wxContextMenuEvent, wxContextHelp, wxContextHelpButton, wxTipWindow,
+and a demo to show them in action.
+
+Deprecated PyShell and PyShellWindow, added a snapshot of PyCrust (see
+http://sourceforge.net/projects/pycrust/. )
+
+Added the new virtual list capabilities to wxListCtrl.
+
+Added a wxSTC style editor from Riaan Booysen to the sample apps.
+
+Added XRCed to the wxPython Tools directory, contributed by Roman
+Rolinsky.
+
+Added a new "constructor" to most of the window classes that calls the
+default C++ contructor, (the one with no parameters) and also added the
+coresponding Create(...) method. This allows you to do a 2-step
+creation of windows which is sometimes required for doing things such
+as setting extended style flags before the window is created, or for
+passing the object to the XRC resource system to be created from the
+resource. The name of the new "constructor" is the original name of
+the class with a "Pre" in it. For example, wxPreWindow, wxPreFrame,
+etc.
+
+Updated to version 1.40 of Scintilla and updated wxStyledTextCtrl
+accordingly. While doing this update I dropped the wxLB_SORT style
+from the wxListBox created for the AutoComplete functionality. This
+means that you will have to sort the keyword lists yourself, but you
+are free to do case sensitive or case insensitive sorts and set the
+wxSTC flag accordingly.
+
+Updated wxColumnSorterMixin to also be able to place sort icons on the
+column headers, and updated the wxListCtrl demo to show it off by
+using wxColumnSorterMixin.
+
+Added wxGenBitmapTextButton, TablePrint, etc. contribs from Lorne White.
+
+Added wxNativeFontInfo and wxFontMapper.
+
+Added pySketch to the samples.
+
+Significantly changed how the Python interpreter lock and thread state
+are managed, which should fix the problem of running on a
+multi-processor machine.
+
+Added wxPyLog so log targets can be created in Python to handle log
+messages however is wished. See demo/Main.py for an example.
+
+Added wxFindReplaceDialog.
+
+The second phase of OOR is implemented for wxEvtHandler, wxSizer,
+wxShape and derived classes. This means that functions and methods
+that return an object derived from wxEvtHandler that was originally
+created in Python, will return the original Python object (if it still
+exists) instead of letting SWIG wrap a new shadow object around the
+original C++ pointer.
+
+Added some optimization methods to wxDC: GetBoundingBox, DrawLineList,
+DrawPointList.
+
+Added a set of sophisticated Error Dialogs from Chris Fama.
+
+Added wxRightTextCtrl from Josu Oyanguren to wxPython.lib for aligning
+text in a wxTextCtrl to the right side.
+
+Added wxURLDataObject and an example showing drag and drop of URLs to
+and from web browsers. It's still not 100% bullet-proof for all types
+of browsers, but it works for the majority of cases with the popular
+browsers on Windows. On wxGTK it seems that only Netscape 4.x works,
+if anybody has any suggestions about this please bring it up on the
+wx-dev list.
+
+Added wxStopWatch.
+
+Added wxMimeTypesManager and wxFileType.
+
+Passing None for the handler parameter to one of the EVT_** functions
+will now Disconnect the event.
+
+Added wxPopupWindow and wxPopupTransientWindow.
+
+Added wxFileHistory.
+
+Added wxDynamicSashWindow, which allows you to endlessly split windows
+by dragging a little tab next to the scrollbars. Added a demo to show
+this and also the ability of multiple wxStyledTextCtrls to share the
+same document.
+
+Added wxEditableListBox gizmo.
+
+Updated wxEditor with lots of enhancements from Steve Howell and Adam
+Feuer.
+
+Added the "SplitTree gizmos" which are a collection of classes that
+were designed to operate together and provide a tree control with
+additional columns for each item. The classes are
+wxRemotelyScrolledTreeCtrl, wxTreeCompanionWindow,
+wxThinSplitterWindow, and wxSplitterScrolledWindow, some of which may
+also be useful by themselves.
+
+Added wxDllWidget from Vaclav Slavik which allows wx widgets derived
+from wxWindow to be loaded from a C++ .dll (or .so) and be used in a
+wxPython program, without the widget having to be SWIGged first. The
+visible API of the widget is limited to wxWindow methods plus a
+SendCommand method, but it is still quite powerful. See
+wxPython/contrib/dllwidget and wxPython/demo/dllwidget for more
+details.
+
+
+
+
+2.3.1
+-----
+Added EVT_GRID_EDITOR_CREATED and wxGridEditorCreatedEvent so the user
+code can get access to the edit control when it is created, (to push
+on a custom event handler for example.)
+
+Added wxTextAttr class and SetStyle, SetDefaultStyle and
+GetDefaultStyle methods to wxTextCtrl.
+
+Added ability to use xml resource files. Still need to add ability to
+subclass wxXmlResourceHandler, etc...
+
+Added wxGridAutoEditMixin to the mixins library package.
+
+Made ColourSelect be derived from wxButton.
+
+Fixed img2py to work correctly with Python 2.1.
+
+Added enhanced wxVTKRenderWindow by Prabhu Ramachandran
+
+
+
+2.3.0
+-----
+Removed initial startup dependency on the OpenGL DLLs so only the
+glcanvasc.pyd depends on them, (on wxMSW.)
+
+Changed wxFont, wxPen, wxBrush to not implicitly use the
+wxThe[Font|Pen|Brush]List objects behind the scenes, but to use normal
+ctor and dtors.
+
+Exposed the wxThe[Font|Pen|Brush]List to wxPython.
+
+Also added wxTheColourDatabase and added a library module (in the
+wxPython.lib.colourdb module) to load LOTS more colour names into the
+colour database.
+
+Added wxWakeUpMainThread, wxMutexGuiEnter, wxMutexGuiLeave,
+wxMutexGuiLocker and wxThread_IsMain to assist with dealing with GUI
+access from non-GUI threads.
+
+wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow is now (more) thread safe if non-GUI threads
+use print, sys.stdout.write, etc.
+
+Added CreateTextSizer and CreateButtonSizer to wxDialog
+
+Added wxPython/lib/infoframe.py from Chris Fama. It contains a class
+that can be used in place of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow.
+
+Added colourselect.py, imagebrowser.py and an updated calendar.py to
+wxPython/lib from Lorne White.
+
+Added patch to wxPoint_LIST_helper from Tim Hochberg that should make
+it gobs faster in certain situations.
+
+Added tools that will take an image file in a wx supported format and
+convert it to data embedded in a Python source file. The image is
+converted to XPM format which is essentially a list of strings
+containing info about each pixel. The image's transparency mask is
+included, if there is one, or a mask can be added if a mask colour is
+specified on the command line. It is then pickled and optionally
+compressed and written to a Python source file along with functions to
+convert it to either a wxBitmap or a wxImage. See
+wxPython/demo/images.py for examples, and wxPython/Tools/img2py.py for
+the implementation.
+
+Fixed wxStyledTextCtrl to be much faster on wxGTK. There was some
+experimental code that got left in place that ended up causing way too
+many refreshes.
+
+A couple more hacks in my_distutils.py so wxPython can be built with
+the distutils that comes with Python 2.1.
+
+Added a ton of missing methods for wxPrintData.
+
+Switched to InnoSetup for MSW distributions.
+
+Added wxToggleButton.
+
+Fixed bug that prevented wxTreeCtrl.OnCompareItems from being called.
+
+Added some methods to wxGrid:
+ GetCellHighlightPenWidth
+ GetCellHighlightROPenWidth
+ SetCellHighlightPenWidth
+ SetCellHighlightROPenWidth
+ GetGridWindow
+ GetGridRowLabelWindow
+ GetGridColLabelWindow
+ GetGridCornerLabelWindow
+
+Added wxGetClientDisplayRect which on wxMSW returns a wxRect
+representing the area on screen not occupied by the taskbar and such.
+On other platforms it is equivallent to wxGetDisplaySize.
+
+
+***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---
+ Implemented the first phase of OOR (Original Object Return). See
+ the text in the demo for more details of what this means, but in a
+ nutshell methods such as wxWindow.GetParent or FindWindowById will
+ now return a shadow object of the proper type if it can. By
+ "proper type" I mean that if the wxWindow pointer returned from
+ FindWindowById really points to a wxButton then the Python object
+ constructed will be of a wxButtonPtr class instead of wxWindowPtr
+ as before. This should reduce or eliminiate the need for
+ wxPyTypeCast. (Woo Hoo!) The objects returned are still not the
+ original Python object, but that is the next step. (Although it
+ will probably only work on Python 2.1 and beyond because it will
+ use weak references.)
+
+ This first phase of the OOR plan is fairly significant and has
+ required a lot of changes all over wxPython, most of which should
+ be transparent to you, however I'm not 100% sure that it didn't
+ introduce any new bugs that are hiding somewhere and didn't get
+ stomped on during my testing. So please be sure to test everything
+ thoroughly when you install this version and be sure to report any
+ object-type related oddities to me.
+***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---
+
+There is now a wxObject class that most other classes derive from like
+in C++, but the methods provided don't really match but are wxPython
+specific. It could have been added long ago but OOR required it so it
+finally got done.
+
+Finally added wxPyLineShape.GetLineControlPoints, which has been on my
+list for a while. The above OOR modification made this easier.
+
+Fixed the __cmp__ methods for wxPoint and others.
+
+Added wxWave.
+
+Added the wxPython.lib.mixins package to the library, it is where
+useful mix-in classes can be placed. Currently there is one to help
+make the columns in a wxListCtrl sortable, and the MagicIMageList from
+Mike Fletcher. If you have any custom code that can be factored out
+of existing classes into a mix-in that would be useful to others
+please send it to me for inclusion in this package.
+
+Added a few little sample applications to help newbies to get started
+by having smaller functional apps to play with. They can be found in
+wxPython/samples.
+
+
+
+
+2.2.6
+-----
+
+No changes happened in the Python wrappers for this release, only
+changes and fixes in the wxWindows library.
+
+
+
+2.2.5
+-----
+
+New typemaps for wxString when compiling for Python 2.0 and beyond
+that allow Unicode objects to be passed as well as String objects. If
+a Unicode object is passed PyString_AsStringAndSize is used to convert
+it to a wxString using the default encoding.
+
+Fixed the generic buttons so tool tips work for them.
+
+Fixed a bug in the demo's tree control.
+
+Added a listbox to the listbox demo that shows how to find items with
+a matching prefix as keys are typed.
+
+Added code to the wxListCtrl demo to show how to get text from a
+column in report mode.
+
+Added code to the toolbar demo to clear the long help from the status
+bar after 2 seconds.
+
+Added wxJoystick.
+
+Fixed wxTimer so it can be used as described in the docs, either with
+a Notify method in a subclass, or sending an event to a wxEvtHandler
+object, (usually a window.)
+
+Added wxNotifyEvent.Allow()
+
+Fixed GOBS of reference leaks.
+
+Massive code changes and cleanup to allow wxPython to be split into
+multiple extension modules again. A Python CObject is used to allow
+the "export" of SWIG functions and other common helper functions from
+the wxc module to other modules, even if they are in separate shared
+libraries. Should also be usable from 3rd party code, just include
+wxPython/src/export.h
+
+Changed the default setup so the following are built as separate
+extension modules: calendar, glcanvas, grid, html, ogl, stc, and
+utils. Will probably add more later.
+
+Changed the wxPrinterDC to use the new constructor taking a
+wxPrintData object. The old ctor is still there using the
+wxPrinterDC2 name.
+
+Added wxPython.lib.anchors.py from Riaan Booysen. It contains a class
+that implements Delphi's Anchors with wxLayoutConstraints.
+
+Added wxPython.lib.fancytext from Timothy Hochberg.
+
+Changed the GenericButtons to send their event in idle time, so the
+mouse won't be captured when the event handler is called.
+
+Added wxPython.lib.rpcMixin from Greg Landrum, although it's not
+integrated with the demo yet. It allows a wxPython GUI to be an
+XML-RPC server.
+
+
+
New in 2.2.2
