+Added Gordon Williams' PyPlot module to the library, available as the
+wx.lib.plot module.
+
+I made a small but important change in the code that aquires the
+Python Global Interpreter Lock to try and prevent deadlocks that can
+happen when there are nested attempts to aquire the GIL.
+
+The RPMs will now install menu items on Mandrake Linux in
+Applications/Development/Tools for PyCrust, XRCed, etc. The RPMs are
+also installing icons and ``*.desktop`` items in the generic KDE and
+GNOME locations, but I don't know yet if they are resulting in menu
+items on non-Mandrake systems. (It didn't automatically do it on my
+RH-9 build box but I didn't chase it very far...) If you have ideas
+for how to improve the .spec file to work better and/or on more
+distros please send me a patch.
+
+The RPMs are now built on a fairly generic RH-9 box, and I have tested
+installing them also on my main Mandrake 9.2 box.
+
+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
+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
+want to put them.
+
+The wxWave class has been renamed to wxSound, and now has a slightly
+different API.
+
+Updated the AnalogClockWindow with many enhancements from E. A. Tacão.
+
+wxMac now has wx.ToggleButton!
+
+wx.stc.StyledTextCtrl has been updated to version 1.58 of Scintilla.
+
+To help with the wx.stc.StyledTextCtrl performance issues on wxMac
+I've added a SetUseAntiAliasing method (and GetUseAntiAliasing too)
+that will turn off the use of antialiased fonts in the wxSTC, allowing
+it to bypass the slow text measuring routines and use the fast and
+simple one instead. By default the setting is turned off (on wxMac
+only.) When run on OSX the Py* apps have a new item on the Options
+menu for controlling this setting if you would like to experiment with
+it.
+
+Updated wx.lib.calendar with many fixes and enhancements from Joerg
+"Adi" Sieker.
+
+Added wx.Display and wx.VideoMode.
+
+AppleEvents can be handled by overriding wx.App methods MacOpenFile,
+MacPrintFile, MacNewFile, and MacReopenApp.
+
+Added wx.PlatformInfo which is a tuple containing strings that
+describe the platform and build options of wxPython. See the
+MigrationGuide for more details.
+
+Created a new extension module "activex" from Lindsay Mathieson's
+newest wxActiveX_ class. (The existing iewin module used an older
+version of this code, but only exposed the wxIEHtmlWin class.) This
+new module will (in theory ;-) ) allow you to host arbitrary ActiveX
+controls in a wx.Window, **without** requiring the use of the win32com
+and other PyWin32 modules! This should eliminate the cronic problems
+that have resulted from minor mismatches in how PyWin32 handles the
+GIL and tstate when making callbacks, etc. The older iewin module
+will be left in this release as the new stuff is not fully backwards
+compatible, but you should migrate your code to the new IEHtmlWindow
+in wx.lib.iewin, so the old one can be eventually removed.
+Additionally, I've always considered that the wx.lib.activexwrapper
+module is an ugly hack that I only included in the lib because I
+couldn't figure out anything better. Well now we have something that,
+if it isn't already, has the potential to be better. So consider
+migrating away from using activexwrapper as well. Please see the
+MigrationGuide for more details on using the new module.

+Floats are allowed again as function parameters where ints are expected.
