+wx.ADJUST_MINSIZE is now the default behaviour for window items in
+sizers. This means that the item's GetMinSize and/or GetBestSize will
+be called when calculating layout and the return value from that will
+be used for the minimum size. The wx.FIXED_MINSIZE flag was added
+that will cause the sizer to *not* call window methods to determine
+the new best size, instead the minsize that the window had when added
+to the sizer (or the size the window was created with) will always be
+used. When a window is added to a sizer it's initial size, if any, is
+set as the window's minimal size using SetSizeHints if there isn't
+already a minimal size. You can set the window's minimal size (via
+SetSizeHints) to manually control wha tthe sizer will use when
+calculating layout.
+
+Added new MaskedEditControl code from Will Sadkin. The modules are
+now locaed in their own sub-package, wx.lib.masked. Demos updated.
+
+The changes that implemented the incompatible wx.DC methods in 2.5.1.5
+have been reverted. The wx.DC methods are now compatible with the 2.4
+implemetation. In addition a set of renamed methods have been added
+that take wx.Point and/or wx.Size objects instead of individual
+parameters.
+
+Added wx.lib.mixins.listctrl.TextEditMixin, a mixin class that allows
+all columns of a wx.ListCtrl in report mode to be edited.

The wxWindows project and library is now known as wxWidgets. Please
see http://www.wxwindows.org/name.htm for more details. This won't
really affect wxPython all that much, other than the fact that the
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
+extension modules and Python packages, 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
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.
