This better +allows the default system themed behaviour to show through for +uncustomized windows. Explicit support added for using the correct +theme texture for wx.Notebook pages and their children. + +wx.Image: Added support for alpha channels in interpolated and +non-interpolated image rotation. Added ConvertAlphaToMask helper +method for turning shades of grey into shades of alpha and a colour. + +wxGTK2: Reimplemented DoDrawRotatedText() by way of a rotation of an +alpha blended text bitmap. It would be better if Pango could draw +directly into an wxImage (as FreeType can,) but that is for later... + +Added wrappers and a demo for the wx.MediaCtrl class, which can play +various forms of audio/video media using native codecs install on the +system. So far it is only implemented for Windows and OSX. + +wxGTK: Patch applied for Freeze()/Thaw() for wxTextCtrtl. + +Added "gravity" for splitter window (patch 1046105). Gravity is a +floating-point factor between 0.0 and 1.0 which controls position of +sash while resizing the wx.SplitterWindow. The gravity specifies +how much the left/top window will grow while resizing. + +wxMSW: wx.Slider's C++ implementation rewritten to be more +maintainable and hopefully less buggy. The position of the labels has +also been changed in order to better comply with Microsoft's examples +of how to use the control. + +wxMSW: Fix wx.TreeCtrl to end label editing if the control loses +focus (a slightly modified patch 1084592.) + +Added wx.EXEC_NODISABLE flag for wx.Execute, which will prevent all +the app's windows being disabled while a synchronous child process is +running. + +wxMSW: Much work to correct painting (or leaving transparent) of +control backgrounds, properly using background themes on XP, etc. + +Fixed a circular reference problem with wx.Timer. It will now +completely cleanup after itself when the last reference to the timer +is removed. If you were previously using timer.Destroy() to cleanup +your timers it will no longer work. Instead you should hold a +reference to the timer and then del the reference when you are +finished with the timer. + +Updated to 1.3.24 of SWIG. All of my big patches have been applied to +the main SWIG source tree, but unfortunatly there were also some bugs +added that affected the wxPython build and a few details in my +original patch were changed/removed, so we are still not free of +patches. A new patch for SWIG is located in the wxPython/SWIG +directory of the wxPython source tree. SWIG 1.3.24 plus this patch +should be used by anyone who is making custom modifications to +wxPython's *.i files, or building their own extension modules or +etc. that need to interact with the wxPython swigged types. For the +morbidly curious, here are a few more details: + + * Since it is now possible easily and simply share the SWIG type + tables across modules I reverted to always using the stock SWIG + runtime instead of my slightly hacked up version of it exported + via the wxPython C API. + + * The %name directive is now deprecated so I replaced most uses of + it with a custom %Rename macro that uses %rename internally. + These will evetually need to be replaced with a DocDecl macro + when docstrings are added. + + * The "this" attribute of all SWIGged classes is no longer a + string containing a "swigified pointer", but rather a custom + built-in type that holds the real C pointer to the object and + the type info. It can be converted to a string like the old + value using str() or to the long integer value of the pointer + using long(). + +Added SetDefaultPyEncoding and GetDefaultPyEncoding functions which +will set/get the encoding used by wxPython to convert string or +unicode objects to/from wxString objects. Previously the default +Python encoding was always used, but unless the user had tweaked their +sitecustomize.py file it is always "ascii", which would result in +errors if the strings contained character codes >= 128. +SetDefaultPyEncoding will now allow you to control which encoding will +be used to do those conversions. The default encoding is set to the +value of `locale.getdefaultlocale()[1]` when wxPython is first +imported. Please see http://www.alanwood.net/demos/charsetdiffs.html +for information on the differences between the common latin/roman +encodings. + +Added wxStdDialogButtonSizer, which is a a special sizer that knows +how to order and position standard buttons in order to conform to the +current platform's standards. You simply need to add each `wx.Button` +to the sizer, and be sure to create the buttons using the standard +ID's. Then call `Finalize` and the sizer will take care of the rest. + +wxMSW Toolbar: pass correct tool id (and not always -1) to the +EVT_TOOL_RCLICKED handler + +wxGTK: Applied patch for combo box SELECTED events (no longer get +lots of surplus events) + +wxGTK: Applied patch for proper menu highlight colour detection in +wx.SystemSettings. + + 2.5.3.1 @@ -386,6 +521,9 @@ in the PyShell:: ... wx.MilliSleep(10) +wxGTK: Applied wxNO_BORDER patch (#1098374) for text control and combo +box. + 2.5.1.5
