-?????
+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, wxPyPanel 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
+ AddChild
+ RemoveChild
+
+ If there are other methods that you think 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 win32all and
+so it is less fragile in the face of changes.
+
+Fixed the ActiveXWrapper problem. Looks like when the win32com
+modules make a "callback" that they (incorrectly, IMHO) allocate a
+transient thread state structure. Since wxPython is now saving
+tstates for it's own callbacks it ended up using garbage after
+win32com got rid of the temporary tstate...
+
+Added a generic static text control to wxPython.lib.stattext. This is
+so things like Boa and PythonCard can have a static text that can
+respond to mouse events and etc.
+
+Changed the wxDateTime.Parse* methods to return an int that will be -1
+on failure, and the index where parsing stopped otherwise.
+
+Moved tools to be a Python package in wxPython.tools, added scripts to
+import and launch each tool. This will let you import and use the
+tools in your own scripts or apps as needed.
+
+Added a sample to the demo that catches various key events and
+displays the details of the event.
+
+Added wxWizard, wxWizardPage, wxWizardPageSimple and wxPyWizardPage.
+
+
+
+
+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.
+glcanvasc.pyd depends on them, (on wxMSW.)
Changed wxFont, wxPen, wxBrush to not implicitly use the
-wxThe[Font|Pen|Brush]List behind the scenes, but to use normal ctor
-and dtors.
+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.
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 (with its transparency mask intact, if there
-is one) which is essentially a list of strings containing info about
-each pixel. 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
Switched to InnoSetup for MSW distributions.
-Added wxToggleButton
+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.
