Added wx.lib.combotreebox from Frank Niessink Added wx.ImageFromBuffer, wx.BitmapFromBuffer and -wx.BitmapFromBufferRGBA factory functions. They enable loading of am +wx.BitmapFromBufferRGBA factory functions. They enable loading of an image or bitmap directly from a Python object that implements the buffer interface, such as strings, arrays, etc. +Added wx.App.IsDisplayAvailable() which can be used to determine if a +GUI can be created in the current environment. (Still need an +implementation for wxMSW...) + +The wx.html.HTML_FONT_SIZE_x constants are no longer available as the +default sizes are now calculated at runtime based on the size of the +normal GUI font. + +wx.Colour now includes an alpha component, which defaults to +wx.ALPHA_OPAQUE. This is in preparation for allowing various new +alpha blening functionality using wx.Colour objects, such as drawing +with pens and brushes on a wx.DC. + +Added wx.NativePixelBuffer, wx.AlphPixelBuffer and related iterator +and accessor classes. They allow platform independent direct access +to the platform specific pixel buffer inside of a wx.Bitmap object. + +The beginnings of support for RTL languages has been added, thanks to +a Google SoC project. + +Added wx.lib.dragscroller from Riaan Booysen. It provides a helper +class that can used to scroll a wx.ScrolledWindow in response to a +mouse drag. + +Applied patch 1551409: Adds support for indeterminate mode gauges. + +wxMac: I've turned on the compile option for using the native toolbar +on the Mac now that it supports hosting of controls. If the toolbar +is managed by the frame via either CreateToolBar() or SetToolBar() +then the native toolbar will be used. Additional toolbars, or +toolbars that are not children of the frame, are managed by sizers or +what-not will still use the emulated toolbar because of platform +restrictions in how/where the native toolbar can be used. + +Added Python properties for many of the getter/setter methods of wx +classes. In order for the names to be predicatble for somebody +already familiar with wxPython the property names are simply the name +of the getter with the "Get" dropped. For example, wx.Window has a +property named "Size" that maps to GetSize and SetSize. So far there +is only one known name conflict using this naming convention, and that +is wx.KeyEvent.KeyCode, however since KeyCode was formerly a +compatibility alias for GetKeyCode (and has been for a long time) it +was decided to just switch it to a property. If you want to use the +method then change your calls to event.KeyCode() to +event.GetKeyCode(), otherwise you can use it as a property just by +dropping the parentheses. + +Updated the C++ code for wx.gizmos.TreeListCtrl from the wxCode +project. This has resulted in some minor API changes, most of which +were worked around in the wrapper code. + +Added wx.lib.delayedresult from Oliver Schoenborn. + +Added wx.lib.expando, a multi-line textctrl that exands as more lines +are needed. + +wx.Image.Scale and Rescale methods now take an extra parameter +specifying type of method to use for resampling the image. It +defaults to the current behavior of just replicating pixels, if +wx.IMAGE_QUALITY_HIGH is passed then it uses bicubic and box averaging +resampling methods for upsampling and downsampling respectively. + +Added the wx.lib.buttonpanel module, which is a tweaked version of +Andrea Gavana's FancyButtonPanel module. + +Added the wx.lib.flatnotebook module, from Andrea Gavana. + +Renamed wx.FutureCall to wx.CallLater so it is named more like +wx.CallAfter. wx.FutureCall is now an empty subclass of wx.CallLater +for compatibility of older code. + +Added the wx.lib.customtreectrl the from Andrea Gavana. + +Added ChangeSelection to wx.BookCtrl (the base class for wx.Notebook +and other book controls) that is the same as SetSelection but doesn't +send the change events. + +Added wx.TextCtrl.ChangeValue() which is the same as SetValue() but +doesn't send the text changed event. + +For consistency, all classes having an Ok() method now also have +IsOk(), use of the latter form is preferred although the former hasn't +been deprecated yet + +Added the wx.AboutBox() function and wx.AboutDialogInfo class. They +provide a way to show a standard About box for the application, which +will either be a native dialog or a generic one depending on what info +is provided and if it can all be shown with the native dialog. + +The code in the animate contrib has been moved into the code wxWidgets +library, and refactored a bit along the way. For wxPython it still +exists in the wx.animate module, but has basically been reduced to two +classes, wx.animate.Animation, and wx.animate.AnimationCtrl. You load +the animated GIF (and hopefully there will be other supported formats +in the near future) in the Animation object, and then give that to the +AnimatedCtrl for display. See the demo for an example. There is also +still a GIFAnimationCtrl class that provides some level of backwards +compatibility with the old implementation. + +wxMac: The compile option that turns on the use of CoreGraphics (a.k.a +Quartz) for wxDC is now turned on by default. This means that all +drawing via wxDC is done using the new APIs from apple, instead of the +old Quick Draw API. There are, however, a few places where Quartz and +wxDC don't fit together very well, mainly the lack of support for +logical drawing operations such as XOR, but there is work in progress +to provide other ways to do the same sort of thing that will work with +Quartz and also on the other platforms. + +The first parts of a new 2D drawing API has been added with the +wx.GraphicsPath and wx.GraphicsContext classes. They wrap GDI+ on +Windows, Cairo on wxGTK and CoreGraphics on OS X. They allow path-based +drawing with alpha-blending and anti-aliasing, and use a floating +point cooridnate system. Currently they can only target drawing to +windows, but other wx.DC backends are forthcoming. The APIs may +evolve a bit more before they are finalaized with the 2.8 release, but +there is enough there now to get a good feel for how things will work. +There is also a transitional wx.GCDC class that provides the wx.DC API +on top of wx.GraphicsContext. Docs and a demo are still MIA. + +Added a wx.AutoBufferedPaintDC that is a subclass of wx.PaintDC on +platforms that do double buffering by default, and a subclass of +wx.BufferedPaintDC on the platforms that don't. You can use this +class to help avoid the overhead of buffering when it is not +needed. There is also a wx.AutoBufferedPaintDCFactory function that +does a little more and actually tests if the window has +double-buffering enabled and then decides whether to return a +wx.PaintDC or wx.BufferedPaintDC. This uses the new +wx.Window.IsDoubleBuffered method. + +
