+<ul class="simple">
+<li>4-June-2005</li>
+</ul>
+<p>wx.ListCtrl: patch #1210352, fixes editing in generic wx.ListCtrl with
+wx.LC_EDIT_LABELS.</p>
+<p>Applied patch #208286, MediaCtrl DirectShow rewrite.</p>
+<p>DocView patches from Morgan Hua: bug fixes, and additional SVN
+commands, also added a default template that uses the text editor for
+any unknown file type.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Use the system IDC_HAND cursor for wx.CURSOR_HAND and only fallback
+to the strange wxWidgets version if the system one is not available.</p>
+<p>wx.grid.Grid: Merge the cell size attribute the same way that other
+attributes are merged, e.g., if it is already set to a non-default
+value in the current GridCellAttr object then don't merge from the
+other.</p>
+<p>wx.lib.evtmgr: Fixed to use wx._core._wxPyDeadObject</p>
+<p>wx.lib.gridmovers: Don't scroll when the mouse is dragged outside of
+the grid, unless the mouse is kept in motion.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Applied patch #1213290 incorrect logic in
+wx.TopLevelWindow.ShowFullScreen.</p>
+<p>Applied patch #1213066 correct device names for Joystick in Linux.</p>
+<p>wxGTK: Applied patch #1207162 wx.TextCtrl.SetStyle fix for overlapping
+calls.</p>
+<p>wx.FileConfig: fixed DeleteEntry to set the dirty flag properly so the
+change will get written at the next flush.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="id2">
+<h1><a name="id2">2.6.0.1</a></h1>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>30-May-2005</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Added wx.BrushFromBitmap to create a stippled brush in a single step.
+Also added missing brysh style flags: wx.STIPPLE_MASK
+wx.STIPPLE_MASK_OPAQUE.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Fix for default control colours when the system text fg colour
+is not black.</p>
+<p>wxGTK: Patch #1171754, It is now possible to have a menu item that
+both has an icon and is a submenu.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Patch #1197009, better refreshes when windows are moved and
+resized.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Patch #1197468. Keeps track of pending size/position changes
+in case there is more than one adjustment for a window in a single
+DeferWindowPos set, then the pending values can be used for defaults
+instead of current values.</p>
+<p>Fixed the typemap that converts a Python list of strings to a
+wxArrayString so it uses the wxPython default encoding.</p>
+<p>Several docstrings added and updated. Lots more to go.</p>
+<p>wxMac: Strings added to the clipboard or used in DnD no longer have an
+extra null character at the end.</p>
+<p>Added wx.GetXDisplay that returns a raw swigified pointer for the X11
+Display, or None for the non-X11 platforms.</p>
+<p>wxMenu: Don't send an event when selecting an already selected radio
+item.</p>
+<p>Added wx.LaunchDefaultBrowser.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Fixed erroneous selection of content in wx.ComboBox when within
+a wx.StaticBox.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Fixed alpha blitting to take into account source position.</p>
+<p>Ensure that Python is still in an initialized state before doing any
+locking or unlocking in wxPyBeginBlockThreads and wxPyEndBlockThreads
+as these can be triggered after Python has been finalized in embedding
+situations.</p>
+<p>Added alternate constructors for wx.Font: wx.FontFromPixelSize,
+wx.FFont, wx.FFontFromPixelSize. See the docstrings or new api docs
+for details.</p>
+<p>Added wx.lib.hyperlink from Andrea Gavana. It is a control like
+static text that acts like a hyper-link, launching the system's
+default browser in response to the clicks.</p>
+<p>Added an optional parameter to wxversion.select that allows you to
+specify that the extra components specified in the version string are
+required. For example, if you ask for "2.6-unicode" but only the ansi
+version is installed then by default the ansi version will be selected
+as it considered close enough since the version numbers match. If you
+want to force the options to be required then you can just add a True
+parameter, like this:</p>
+<pre class="literal-block">
+import wxversion
+wxversion.select("2.6-unicode", True)
+import wx
+</pre>
+<p>Tweaked wx.lib.buttons such that flat buttons (e.g. have no bevel and
+a wx.BORDER_NONE style flag) paint themed backgrounds if there are
+transparent areas and the parent is displaying a theme.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Fix for wrong sash colour of wx.SplitterWindow in the silver
+theme on XP.</p>
+<p>Added a wx.xrc.XmlResourceHandler for the Ticker class. See
+wx/lib/ticker_xrc.py</p>
+<p>wxSTC: Fixed CmdKeyAssign key bindings for Ctrl-Backspace.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Fixed a bug in wx.TextCtrl where all the lines were being used
+to calculate the best size, instead of using a reasonable limit.</p>
+<p>XRCed: Use wx.GetDefaultPyEncoding/wx.SetDefaultPyEncoding for
+changing active encoding. Fixed pasting siblings (Ctrl key pressed
+while pasting).</p>
+<p>wx.lib.filebrowsebutton: Bug fix from Chad Netzer for when
+self.history is None.</p>
+<p>wx.ogl: Patch from Davide Salomoni that adds an optional point
+parameter to LineShape.InsertLineControlPoint allowing one to
+optionally specify where the new control point has to be drawn.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: setting foreground colour for wx.CheckBox now works when using
+XP themes.</p>
+<p>More updates to the docview library modules and sample apps from the
+ActiveGrid folks. Their sample IDE is now able to integrate with
+Subversion.</p>
+<p>wx.grid.Grid: Ensure that the grid gets the focus when it is
+left-clicked. Note that if you have custom widgets that handle the
+EVT_LEFT_DOWN event but do not call event.Skip() then you will
+probably want to add a call to self.SetFocus in the event handler.</p>
+<p>wxGTK: Add wxSTAY_ON_TOP support [Patch 1206023]</p>
+<p>wx.TreeCtrl: wx.EVT_TREE_ITEM_MENU event made consistent on all
+platforms. The location of the click or the item is included in the
+event as well.</p>
+<p>wxGTK: Setting background colour of a window now only affects the
+window itself, not the borders, scrollbars, etc. (Bug #1204069)</p>
+<p>Print framework: Add more paper sizes and code to fallback to an
+explicit paper size if a known paper size is not found for the
+printer.</p>
+<p>wxMac: Applied patch for bug #1206181 Option-key decodes are wrong,
+also applied patch for bug #1205691 Modified Fn keys don't work.</p>
+<p>wx.Image: Fixed to preserve alpha channel in Rotate90 method.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Fixed incorrect background colour on wx.CheckListBox.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Fixed drawing of owner drawn buttons with multiline labels</p>
+<p>Removed a bunch of unnecessary files, and removed or replaced images
+that we're not sure of their origin or license.</p>
+<p>The default DoGetBestSize is updated to not always return the current
+size if the window has no sizer, children, or minsize set. Instead
+the current size is set as the minsize. This solves the occasional
+problem where a sizer may cause a childless panel to grow but never
+shrink.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: When converting a wx.Icon to a bitmap check if the icon has an
+alpha channel and set the bitmap to use it.</p>
+<p>Fixed the wrong class name used in wx.PyScrolledWindow's call to
+_setCallbackInfo.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: patch #1207202, Fixes GDI leak when using stock cursors.</p>
+<p>wx.calendar.CalendarCtrl: Patch #1207531, Keeps the CalendarCtrl wide
+enough even when the weekday names for the locale are shorter than
+usual.</p>
+<p>Made GridCellNumberEditor.StartingKey also insert the typed char when
+there is a range of allowed values (so a wx.SpinCtrl is used instead
+of a wx.TextCtrl.)</p>
+</div>

+<h1><a name="id3">2.6.0.0</a></h1>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>26-Apr-2005</li>
+</ul>
+<p>wxMSW: Fixed wx.TransientPopupWindow (and therefore wx.TipWindow) to
+auto-dismiss when the mouse is clicked outside of the popup like it is
+supposed to.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Fixed bug #1167891 wx.Notebook display problem with wx.NB_MULTILINE.</p>
+<p>wxMSW: Fixed bad cliping of hidden windows inside of wx.StaticBox.</p>
+<p>wxGTK: The configure flags for selecting GTK+ 1.2.x or 2.x has
+changed slightly. It is now --with-gtk[=VERSION] where VERSION is
+either '1', '2' or 'any'. The default is '2'.</p>
+<p>wx.stc.StyledTextCtrl: Added the following methods for alternate ways
+to set and fetch text from the document buffer. They work similarly
+to the existing methods of the same name, except that they don't go
+through the same string/unicode <--> wxString conversions. The "Raw"
+methods will do no conversions at all and in a unicode build of
+wxPython the strings will be in the utf-8 encoding and in an ansi
+build no assumption is made about the encoding. The "UTF8" functions
+will attempt to always get/set utf-8 text, which it will always be
+able to do in a unicode build, and in an ansi build it will depend on
+the content of the utf-8 used being compatible with the current
+encoding, (you'll get an exception otherwise.)</p>

+<p>wx.stc.StyledTextCtrl: Added the StyleSetFontEncoding(style, enc)
+method that allows you to set the encoding to be used by the font for
+a particular style.</p>

RedirectStdio() in you app class or change the value of
