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 wxWindow 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 in the application called + MSLU, (Microsoft Layer for Unicode). It simply gets out of the + way if the app is run on an NT box, or 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. + + + +2.3.2.1 +------- +Changed (again) how the Python global interpreter lock is handled as +well as the Python thread state.
