+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 1.39 of Scintilla and updated wxStyledTextCtrl
+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.
+
+
+
+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

+***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---***---
+   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.
