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. + + + + + +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, (on wxMSW.) + +Changed wxFont, wxPen, wxBrush to not implicitly use the +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. + +Also added wxTheColourDatabase and added a library module (in the +wxPython.lib.colourdb module) to load LOTS more colour names into the +colour database. + +Added wxWakeUpMainThread, wxMutexGuiEnter, wxMutexGuiLeave, +wxMutexGuiLocker and wxThread_IsMain to assist with dealing with GUI +access from non-GUI threads. + +wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow is now (more) thread safe if non-GUI threads +use print, sys.stdout.write, etc. + +Added CreateTextSizer and CreateButtonSizer to wxDialog + +Added wxPython/lib/infoframe.py from Chris Fama. It contains a class +that can be used in place of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow. + +Added colourselect.py, imagebrowser.py and an updated calendar.py to +wxPython/lib from Lorne White. + +Added patch to wxPoint_LIST_helper from Tim Hochberg that should make +it gobs faster in certain situations. + +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 which is essentially a list of strings +containing info about each pixel. The image's transparency mask is +included, if there is one, or a mask can be added if a mask colour is +specified on the command line. 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 +many refreshes. + +A couple more hacks in my_distutils.py so wxPython can be built with +the distutils that comes with Python 2.1. + +Added a ton of missing methods for wxPrintData. + +Switched to InnoSetup for MSW distributions. + +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. + + + + +2.2.6 +----- + +No changes happened in the Python wrappers for this release, only +changes and fixes in the wxWindows library. + + + +2.2.5 ----- New typemaps for wxString when compiling for Python 2.0 and beyond @@ -15,7 +198,7 @@ Fixed the generic buttons so tool tips work for them.

Added wxNotifyEvent.Allow() +Fixed GOBS of reference leaks. + +Massive code changes and cleanup to allow wxPython to be split into +multiple extension modules again.
