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.
