Added wx.BrushFromBitmap to create a stippled brush in a single step. +Also added missing brysh style flags: wx.STIPPLE_MASK +wx.STIPPLE_MASK_OPAQUE.
+wxMSW: Fix for default control colours when the system text fg colour +is not black.
+wxGTK: Patch #1171754, It is now possible to have a menu item that +both has an icon and is a submenu.
+wxMSW: Patch #1197009, better refreshes when windows are moved and +resized.
+wxMSW: Patch #1197468. Keeps track of pending size/position changes +in case there is more than one adjustment for a window in a single +DeferWindowPos set, then the pending values can be used for defaults +instead of current values.
+Fixed the typemap that converts a Python list of strings to a +wxArrayString so it uses the wxPython default encoding.
+Several docstrings added and updated. Lots more to go.
+wxMac: Strings added to the clipboard or used in DnD no longer have an +extra null character at the end.
+Added wx.GetXDisplay that returns a raw swigified pointer for the X11 +Display, or None for the non-X11 platforms.
+wxMenu: Don't send an event when selecting an already selected radio +item.
+Added wx.LaunchDefaultBrowser.
+wxMSW: Fixed erroneous selection of content in wx.ComboBox when within +a wx.StaticBox.
+wxMSW: Fixed alpha blitting to take into account source position.
+Ensure that Python is still in an initialized state before doing any +locking or unlocking in wxPyBeginBlockThreads and wxPyEndBlockThreads +as these can be triggered after Python has been finalized in embedding +situations.
+Added alternate constructors for wx.Font: wx.FontFromPixelSize, +wx.FFont, wx.FFontFromPixelSize. See the docstrings or new api docs +for details.
+Added wx.lib.hyperlink from Andrea Gavana. It is a control like +static text that acts like a hyper-link, launching the system's +default browser in response to the clicks.
+Added an optional parameter to wxversion.select that allows you to +specify that the extra components specified in the version string are +required. For example, if you ask for "2.6-unicode" but only the ansi +version is installed then by default the ansi version will be selected +as it considered close enough since the version numbers match. If you +want to force the options to be required then you can just add a True +parameter, like this:
+
+import wxversion
+wxversion.select("2.6-unicode", True)
+import wx
+
+Tweaked wx.lib.buttons such that flat buttons (e.g. have no bevel and +a wx.BORDER_NONE style flag) paint themed backgrounds if there are +transparent areas and the parent is displaying a theme.
+wxMSW: Fix for wrong sash colour of wx.SplitterWindow in the silver +theme on XP.
+Added a wx.xrc.XmlResourceHandler for the Ticker class. See +wx/lib/ticker_xrc.py
+wxSTC: Fixed CmdKeyAssign key bindings for Ctrl-Backspace.
+wxMSW: Fixed a bug in wx.TextCtrl where all the lines were being used +to calculate the best size, instead of using a reasonable limit.
+wxMSW: Fixed wx.TransientPopupWindow (and therefore wx.TipWindow) to +auto-dismiss when the mouse is clicked outside of the popup like it is +supposed to.
+wxMSW: Fixed bug #1167891 wx.Notebook display problem with wx.NB_MULTILINE.
+wxMSW: Fixed bad cliping of hidden windows inside of wx.StaticBox.
+wxGTK: The configure flags for selecting GTK+ 1.2.x or 2.x has +changed slightly. It is now --with-gtk[=VERSION] where VERSION is +either '1', '2' or 'any'. The default is '2'.
+wx.stc.StyledTextCtrl: Added the following methods for alternate ways +to set and fetch text from the document buffer. They work similarly +to the existing methods of the same name, except that they don't go +through the same string/unicode <--> wxString conversions. The "Raw" +methods will do no conversions at all and in a unicode build of +wxPython the strings will be in the utf-8 encoding and in an ansi +build no assumption is made about the encoding. The "UTF8" functions +will attempt to always get/set utf-8 text, which it will always be +able to do in a unicode build, and in an ansi build it will depend on +the content of the utf-8 used being compatible with the current +encoding, (you'll get an exception otherwise.)
++++
++ + ++ + + AddTextRaw +AddTextUTF8 ++ InsertTextRaw +InsertTextUTF8 ++ GetCurLineRaw +GetCurLineUTF8 ++ GetLineRaw +GetLineUTF8 ++ GetSelectedTextRaw +GetSelectedTextUTF8 ++ GetTextRangeRaw +GetTextRangeUTF8 ++ SetTextRaw +SetTextUTF8 ++ GetTextRaw +GetTextUTF8 ++ + AppendTextRaw +AppendTextUTF8 +
wx.stc.StyledTextCtrl: Added the StyleSetFontEncoding(style, enc) +method that allows you to set the encoding to be used by the font for +a particular style.
+wxMac: Fixed wx.ComboBox to forward the EVT_CHAR, EVT_KEY_DOWN, +EVT_KEY_UP and EVT_TEXT events from its embedded text control.
+wxMac: Corrected refresh bugs in wxGrid.
+wxMSW: Fixed bug #1022383, 'several ComboBoxes appear selected'
+wx.grid.Grid: Fixed bug #1163384. Moved the code that handles +activating the cell editors to a EVT_CHAR event handler. This is done +so the character inserted into the editor will be the "cooked" char +value (including accented or composed keys) rather than the raw code +provided by the EVT_KEY_DOWN event.
+Added orient parameter to wx.MDIParentFrame.Tile()
+wxMSW: wxTextCtrl with wx.TE_RICH2 style now uses RichEdit 4.1 if +available.
+Added GetCount, GetCountRGB, and GetCountColour methods to +wx.ImageHistogram.
+wxMSW: wx.Window.Refresh changed to explicitly refresh all children as +well as the parent. Previously it was implicitly done because parents +did not clip their children by default. Now that they always clip +children then Refresh needed to be fixed to do a recursive refresh. +This also fixes the Freeze/Thaw problems that some people had with +2.5.4.1.
+wx.SplitterWindow: Send EVT_SPLITTER_SASH_POS_CHANGED only once after +end of dragging and not after each CHANGING event (modified patch +#1076226)
+wx.glcanvas.GLCanvas: applied patch fixing problems with X server +crash when using nVidia cards (patch 1155132)
+wxMac: removal and reusing toolbar tools like the other platforms is +now possible.
+wxMac: Correct radio tool selection after calling Realize a 2nd time.
+wxMSW: Applied patch #1166587, removes all flicker from wx.StaticBox
+Added wx.lib.foldpanelbar, Andrea Gavana's port of Jorgen Bodde's C++ +wxFoldPanelBar classes to Python.
+wxGTK: Applied patch #1173802, reimplementation of GtkFileChooser +wxFileDialog by Mart Raudsepp. Note that this new file dialog is only +used on GTK2 >= 2.4. For earlier GTK2 versions and GTK1 then the +older generic file dialog is used.
+wxMSW: fixes to static box borders calculations (finalizes patch +#1166587)
+wx.Image: Use Python's buffer interface API for all image data and +alpha Set/Get methods and the ImageFromData* constructors. They all +still copy the buffer except for SetDataBuffer and SetAlphaBuffer, but +this gives more flexibility on where the data can come from.
+Added MDI support to XRC
+Added wx.animate module and a demo. The wx.animate module provides a +control that is able to display an animated GIF file.
+wx.lib.plot.py: Applied patch from Werner F. Bruhin that allows either +vertical and/or horizontal gridlines.
+wxMSW: Extra space given for top border of wx.StaticBoxSizer so the +upper line is not cliped when there is no label.
+wxMSW: Restored old behaviour of wx.StaticBox.SetBackgroundColour only +affecting the label.
+wxMSW: Fixed missing EVT_RIGHT_DOWN and EVT_TREE_ITEM_RIGHT_CLICK +events in a wx.TreeCtrl.
+Added wx.GetTopLevelWindows() function which returns a copy of the +list of top-level windows that currently exist in the application.
+Updated docview library modules and sample apps from the ActiveGrid +folks.
+Added the ActiveGrid IDE as a sample application.
+wx.Sizer Add, Insert, and Prepend functions now return a reference to the +wx.SizerItem that was added to the sizer, and the wx.SizerItem has a +GetRect accessor to give the position of the item on the parent window.
+Added wx.Sizer.GetItem method which returns the wx.SizerItem for the given +wx.Window, wx.Sizer or position index.
+wxMSW: wx.RadioButtons in the same group no longer have to be +consecutive (there may be intervening controls). Without this fix, an +out-of-sync assert is generated when clicking on a radio button and +then calling GetValue().
+wxMSW: fix for [ 1052989 ] TextCtrl.SetBackgroundColour(wx.NullColour) +bug.
+Added wx.PasswordEntryDialog analagous to wx.TextEntryDialog, allows +detecting entering an empty string vs. cancel unlike the +wx.GetPasswordFromUser dialog function.
+OGL patch from Shane Holloway:
+++Two simple problems found in the new python ogl code. First is +the patch for _canvas.py. Essentially:
++dx = abs(dc.LogicalToDeviceX(x - self._firstDragX)) +dy = abs(dc.LogicalToDeviceY(y - self._firstDragY)) ++was incorrect because (x,y) and (self._firstDragX, +self._firstDragY) are both already in Logical coordinates. +Therefore the difference between the two is also in logical +coordinates, and the conversion call is an error. This bug +surfaces when you have OGL on a scrollwin, and you are far from +the origin of the canvas.
+The second change in _composit.py basically removes the assumption +that the child is in both self._children and self._divisions. +Causes many problems when it's not. ;)
+
Fixed GetSaveData and SetSaveData in wx.lib.multisash to not depend on +the default way that class objectss are converted to strings.
+Fixed problem in StyledTextCtrl.Set[HV]ScrollBar that could leave the +internal scrollbar visible.
+Added wx.StandardPaths which provides methods for determining standard +system paths for each platform.
+wxMSW: The window background is now only erased by default if the +background colour or background mode has been changed. 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 for those items.
+- 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 Realize 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.
+wxGTK: Commited scrollbar patch #1093339 which sends lineup, linedown +events based on intercepting the mouse down events.
+wxGTK: Applied patch #1102789 which solved conflicts between wxWidgets +and GTK+'s context menu code.
+wxGTK: Applied patch #1100327 for correct feedback from DND actions +(not all actions are allowed).
+Fixed memory leak in wxGrid::UpdateAttr[Rows][Or][Cols] (patch 1104355)
+For efficiency reasons, text controls no longer set the string for +each text updated event, but rather query for the string value only +when GetString is called from an event handler.
+Added wx.SL_INVERSE style which will cause wx.Slider to invert the min +and max ends of the slider.
+Several patches applied, such as #1111174, #1110252 and others, that +make the generic wx.TreeCtrl (used on wxGTK and wxMac) be more +conistent with the wxMSW native wx.TreeCtrl.
+wxMac: Fixed a long-standing issue where wxSlider controls with a +hardcoded size would misplace their labels behind the slider control.
+wx.HtmlListBox fixed so calling RefreshLine(s) will cause the data for +that line to be refetched from the overridden methods in the derived +class.
+The default DoGetBestSize now includes the difference (if any) between +the client size and total size of the window, (such as the size of +borders.) Code that sets the client size using the best size, or that +added extra space to sizers to compensate for this bug may need to be +changed.
+Can suppress themed notebook pages with the wxNB_NOPAGETHEME style or +setting system option msw.notebook.themed-background to 0.
+wxSyledTextCtrl updated to use Scintilla 1.62.
+Can now set the msw.window.no-clip-children system option to 1 to +eliminate weird refresh behaviour (delays between a window being +erased and repainted, giving a ghostly gradual-redraw effect). May be +a temporary 'fix' until properly fixed before 2.6.
+wxMac: Toolbar is now more native looking with borderless toolbar +buttons.
+wxMac: Switched wx.Bitmap to use newer Quartz object types and APIs +internally. This results in faster display and better alpha support.
+Added wx.DatePickerCtrl.
+wx.html.HtmlWindow now supports background images.
+Added wx.lib.gestures module from Daniel Pozmanter which supports +using Mouse Gestures in an application.
+wxGTK2: ENTER and LEAVE mouse events are now sent for multi-line text +controls.
+wxMSW: "Alt" key (VK_MENU) now results in WXK_ALT keyboard event, not +WXK_MENU
+Added modules from Peter Yared and Morgan Hua that implement the wx +Doc/View framework in pure Python code. See wx.lib.docview for the +base implementation and wx.lib.pydocview for Python-specific +extensions. There are also a couple sample applications located in +samples/docview.
+Added GetBitmap, GetIcon to wx.ImageList.
+wxGTK wx.Button.SetLabel no longer invalidates/resets the font.
+wx.Sizer.AddWindow, AddSizer, AddSpacer and etc. have now been +undeprecated at the request of Riaan Booysen, the Boa Constructor team +lead. Boa needs them to help keep track of what kind of item is being +managed by the sizer. They are now just simple compatibility aliases +for Add, and etc.
+The old C++ version of the OGL lib is no longer built by default. Use +the Python version in the wx.lib.ogl package instead.
+The wx.iewin module is no longer built by default. You can use the +wx.lib.iewin version instead.
+Fixed wx.BufferedPaintDC for scrolled windows to work whether the +buffer is covering only the client area or the full virtual area of +the scrolled window. By default it will assume that only the client +area is covered. This is different than the old behavior so to +indicate that the entire virtual area is covered simply add a +style=wx.BUFFER_VIRTUAL_AREA parameter.
+wx.gizmos.TreeListCtrl: Add support for the EVT_TREE_ITEM_GETTOOLTIP +event.
+Added Resize, SetRGBRect, Size, and GetOrFindMaskColour methods to +wx.Image.
+Added wx.Rect.IsEmpty
+wxMac focus and border refreshes corrected.
+Updated internal PNG library.
+wxMac fix for metal appearance on wx.ToolBar.
+wx.grid.Grid fix allowing DoGetBestSize to be called before CreateGrid +(which means that a min size doesn't need to be specified.)
+wxMac fix for not sending a native click to a control if it is not +enabled (does an enable itself)
+Added wx.lib.ogl.DrawnShape, and fixed various little bugs in the new +OGL.
+Added support to XRC and XRCed for the 3-state checkbox flags and also +for wx.ToggleButton. Updated the generic window styles supported by +XRCed.
+It is now possible to create "stock" buttons. Basically this means +that you only have to provide one of the stock IDs (and either an +empty label or a label that matches the stock label) when creating the +button and wxWidgets will choose the stock label to go with it +automatically. Additionally on the platforms that have a native +concept of a stock button (currently only GTK2) then the native stock +button will be used. For example, the following will result in a +button with "Cancel" as the label and if run on wxGTK2 then there will +also be an image of a red X:
++b = wx.Button(parent, wx.ID_CANCEL) ++
Added wx.lib.ticker.Ticker class from Chris Mellon.
+Fix some incorrect clipping regions in wxSTC on wxGTK.
+Added wrapper for wx.grid.Grid.GetOrCreateCellAttr.
+Removed my copy of distutils from the wxPython source tree. Now that +I am no longer doing builds on Python 2.1 the newest distutils is no +longer needed. (There is still one small bug in Python 2.2 distutils +on win32, but it is easily worked around.) This sovles the problem of +incorrect builds on some systems where the system installed distutils +has been patched to behave slightly differently, for example SuSE on +x86_64 or Chandler's build.
+Updated to SWIG 1.3.22 (plus my patch.) See wxPython/SWIG/README.txt +in the source tree if you need to use SWIG when building your own copy +of wxPython, or other extension modules that need to integrate with +the wxPython modules.
+Added wx.Frame.RequestUserAttention which, if the platform suports it, +will do something (such as flash the task bar item) to suggest to the +user that they should look at that window.
+"Fixed" wx.grid.Grid.SetDefaultEditor and SetDefaultRenderer by making +them register the editor or renderer for the "string" data type.
+Added depth param to wx.Image.ConvertToBitmap.
+Extended the wx.calendar.CalendarCtrl class with methods that get/set +a Python datetime or date object. (These will only work with Python +2.3+) The methods are PySetDate, PyGetDate, PySetLowerDateLimit, +PySetUpperDateLimit, PySetDateRange, PyGetLowerDateLimit, and +PyGetUpperDateLimit. Also, CalendarEvent was extended with PySetDate +and PyGetDate methods.
+wxMSW: SetBackgroundColour on a wx.Choice or a wx.ComboBox will now +also set the colour of the dropdown.
+wxMac: MessageDialog now supports wx.NO_DEFAULT style
+wxMSW: added AssociateHandle and DissociateHandle to wx.Window
+wxMac: fix for toolbar tooltips
+wx.Sizer.Show (and Hide) now take an optional parameter specifying if +the item to be shown should be searched for recursivly in subsizers, +and return a boolean value indicating if the item was found.
+wxMSW: fixed MaximizeEvent generation in wx.Frame
+wxMSW: fixed sending duplicate EVT_COMBOBOX events
+Smoother time estimation updates in wx.ProgressDialog (patch 992813)
+Made wx.Listbook events more consistent with wx.Notebook ones (patch +1001271)
+Fixed rounding errors in variable status bar panes widths computation +(patch 1030021)
+Added possibility to specify printer bin (patch 910272)
+wxMSW: fixed wx.ListCtrl's SetWindowStyleFlag() to not remove +WS_VISIBLE; also refresh the control automatically (closes bug +1019440)
+Added wx.Choicebook, yet another notebook-like control.
+wxMSW: Make radiobutton tab behaviour the same on MSW as in standard +MSW app, i.e. tab into the activated, not necessarily the first radio +button.
+Added limited support for wxEventLoop (you can't derive from a +wx.PyEventLoop version yet...) Updated and moved the sample showing +how to replace the MainLoop to samples/mainloop/mainloop.py.
+The C++ xrc lib has been moved out of contrib and into the core, so it +is always built by default. wxPython's build has also changed +accordingly and will build the xrc module as part of the core set of +modules built by default. If you were axplicitly using BUILD_XRC then +it will no longer be recognized as a build option, otherwise you +should notice no difference.
+wxMac: Fixed radio toolbar buttons to correctly untoggle the others +when a new one is selected.
+wxMac: Fixed GetLineLength and GetLineText for MLTE text controls
+wxMac: wx.TaskBarIcon is implemented by allowing you to change the +app's icon on the Dock and also specifying a menu that should be +merged with the normal dock popup menu. See the MigrationGuide for +more details and a warning.
+Added wx.TopLevelWindow.IsActive() which tells you if the frame or +dialog is or containts the active window with the keyboard focus.
+Added ability to create a font based on pixel size rather than point +size via the FontFromPixelSize constructor.
+Updated the Scintilla used by StyledTextCtrl to version 1.61
+Improved image HitTest for TreeListCtrl.
+Added wx.App.IsMainLoopRunning.
+wxGTK: Make wxComboBox spit out a bit fewer surplus events when +holding down the mouse button.
+wxGTK: Enable key based navigation through notebook tabs as in the +native control with Left and right keys. Support for vetoing.
+FloatCanvas updates from Chris Barker
+Restructured the installer packages slightly to help facilitate having +multiple versions of wxPython installed at the same time. See the +Migrarion Guide for more information.
+Added (thanks to Kevin Ollivier!) wrappers for wx.WebKitCtrl for the +OSX build. Other platforms will raise an exception if you try to use +it.
+wxPython on OSX can now be built in Unicode mode, can support multiple +version installs, and comes with an uninstaller script.
+Predominantly a bug-fix release.
++++
+- Fixed fatal error due to improper wrapping of wx.FSFile.
+- Fixed return type of EditableListBox.GetListCtrl
+- Give generic tree and list controls a DoGetBestSize so they play +nicer with sizers when there is no minimal size.
+- Some tweaks in the demo and samples to correct layout, some +flicker problems, and namespace use.
+- Add wx.Image.ConvertAlphaToMask
+- Minor corrections in wx.lib.dialogs
+- wx.FileHistory constructor now accepts the documented 2nd +parameter.
+- Corrections for exceptions in the new ogl
+- Fixed XRCed to not use reparenting of windows to implement caching +of property panels, since Reparent on wxMac is not implemented.
+- Add support for wxTAB_TRAVERSAL to the XRC handler for +wxScrolledWindow.
+- Add support for all wxListBox styles to the XRC handler for +wxCheckListBox.
+- Fix for wx.Listbook.DeleteAllPages to really delete everything.
+- wxGTK2 now supports alpha blended bitmap drawing
+- Made wx.grid.Grid play nicer with sizers.
+- etc.
+
wx.ADJUST_MINSIZE is now the default behaviour for window items in +sizers. This means that the item's GetMinSize and/or GetBestSize will +be called when calculating layout and the return value from that will +be used for the minimum size used by the sizer. The wx.FIXED_MINSIZE +flag was added that will cause the sizer to use the old behaviour in +that it will not call the window's methods to determine the new best +size, instead the minsize that the window had when added to the sizer +(or the size the window was created with) will always be used. Please +see the Sizers section in the Migration Guide for more details.
+Added new MaskedEditControl code from Will Sadkin. The modules are +now locaed in their own sub-package, wx.lib.masked. Demos updated.
+The changes that implemented the incompatible wx.DC methods in 2.5.1.5 +have been reverted. The wx.DC methods are now compatible with the 2.4 +implemetation. In addition a set of renamed methods have been added +that take wx.Point and/or wx.Size objects instead of individual +parameters.
+Added wx.lib.mixins.listctrl.TextEditMixin, a mixin class that allows +all columns of a wx.ListCtrl in report mode to be edited.
+Deprecated the wx.iewin module.
+Deprecated the wx.Sizer.AddWindow, AddSizer, AddSpacer methods as well +as their Insert* and Prepend* counterparts.
+Added a generic StaticBitmap class in wx.lib.statbmp for the same +reasons that stattext was created, so it could be mouse sensitive on +all platforms like normal windows. Also updated stattext.py and +buttons.py to handle attribute (font & colour) defaults and +inheritance the new way. If you have custom controls of your own you +should review stattxt.py or one of the others to see how it is to be +done.
+wx.InitAllImageHandlers is now an empty function that does nothing but +exist for backwards compatibility. The C++ version is now called +automatically when wxPython is initialized. Since all the handlers +are included in the wxWidgets shared library anyway, this imposes only +a very small amount of overhead and removes several unneccessary +problems.
+Replaced wx/lib/pubsub.py with a version that uses weak references to +track the subscribers, plus other fixes/additions. Thanks go to +Oliver Schoenborn and Robb Shecter.
+wxGTK now uses gtk_init_check so wxPython can raise an exception if +there is no DISPLAY available or other initializaion problem.
+wx.GetKeyState now has an implementation for wxGTK and is able to +detect the up/down or toggle state of modifier and toggle keys.
+The LC_NUMERIC locale is now reset back to "C" (compatibility) when +running on wxGTK to work around the fact that GTK requires the locale +to be set to the system settings but Python depends on LC_NUMERIC +remaining compatible with "C".
+Switched gizmos.TreeListCtrl to the newer version of the code from the +wxCode project.
+OGL is dead! LONG LIVE OGL! (Oops, sorry. A bit of my dramatic side +leaked out there...) The wx.ogl module has been deprecated in favor +of the new Python port of the OGL library located at wx.lib.ogl +contributed by Pierre Hjälm. This will hopefully greatly extend the +life of OGL within wxPython by making it more easily maintainable and +less prone to getting rusty as there seems to be less and less +interest in maintaining the C++ version. At this point there are just +a couple minor known compatibility differences, please see the +MigrationGuide file for details.
+EVT_STC_POSCHANGED has been removed as it has been deprecated in +Scintilla for several releases now.
+All the Window and GDI (pen, bitmap, etc.) class constructors and also +many toplevel functions and static methods will now check that a +wx.App object has already been created and will raise a +wx.PyNoAppError exception if not.
+Added more default args as needed to allow most window types to be +constructed with only the parent window arg. In some cases other args +may be required for normal operation, but they can usually be set +after construction.
+Removed the deprecated ErrorDialogs and PythonBitmaps modules. If you +were using these in your apps then please join wxPython-dev and assist +with a more modern reimplementation.
+Added a new version (0.8.3) of FloatCanvas from Chris Barker. It's now +in a subpackage of wx.lib.
+It is now possible to change the tab traversal order of controls on a +panel or dialog. For details see the new MoveAfterInTabOrder and +MoveBeforeInTabOrder methods of wx.Window.
+Applied (and heavily modified) a patch from Eugene +<svip123@fastmail.fm> that allows the sample modules in the demo to be +edited and reloaded, all from within the demo.
