(The +reasons are long and complex, but suffice it to say that it was due to +mixing C++'s dynamic dispatch, and Python's runtime lookup of the +method attributes resulting in endless recursion of function calls.) +Because of this problem I used a hack that I have always hated, and +that is renaming the base class methods with a "base_" prefix, for +example wx.Printout.base_OnBeginDocument. Now that the problem has +finally been solved I have replaced all the base_Whatever() methods +with the real Whatever() method as well as a simple wrapper named +base_Whatever that is marked as deprecated. So now instead of writing +your overridden methods like this: + + def OnBeginDocument(self, start, end): + # do something here + return self.base_OnBeginDocument(start, end) + +You can do it the *right way* like this: + + def OnBeginDocument(self, start, end): + # do something here + return super(MyPrintout, self).OnBeginDocument(start, end) + +Note that the old way still works, but you will get a +DeprecationWarning from calling base_OnBeginDocument. The classes +affected by this are: + + * wx.DropSource + * wx.DropTarget + * wx.TextDropTarget + * wx.FileDropTarget + * wx.PyLog (also added the ability to override Flush) + * wx.PyApp (also added the ability to override ExitMainLoop) + * wx.Printout + * wx.PyPrintPreview + * wx.PyPreviewFrame + * wx.PreviewControlBar + * wx.Process + * wx.PyControl + * wx.PyPanel + * wx.PyScrolledWindow + * wx.PyWindow + * wx.Timer + * wx.grid.PyGridCellRenderer + * wx.grid.PyGridCellEditor + * wx.grid.PyGridCellAttrProvider + * wx.grid.PyGridTableBase + * wx.html.HtmlWindow + * wx.wizard.PyWizardPage + + + + + +2.6.3.0 +------- + +Change the wx.ListCtrl InsertStringItem wrapper to use the form that +takes an imageIndex, and set the default to -1. This ensures that on +wxMSW that if there is an image list but they don't specify an image, +the native control doesn't use one anyway. + +wxMSW: wx.ListCtrl in report mode is now able to support images in +other columns besides the first one. Simply pass an image index to +SetStringItem. For virtual list controls you can specify the image to +use on the extra columns by overriding OnGetItemColumnImage in your +derived class. It is passed the item number and the column number as +parameters, and the default version simply calls OnGetItemImage for +column zero, or returns -1 for other columns. + + + + +2.6.2.1 +------- +* 10-Jan-2006 + +wxMSW: Fix for bug #1211907, popup menu indenting inconsistent with +bitmaps. + +wxMac: Don't send an event for wx.RadioButton deselections, just the +selections. This was done to make it consistent with the other +platforms. + +wxMSW: Always set flat toolbar style, even under XP with themes: this +is necessary or separators aren't shown at all. + +Fixes for bug #1217872, pydocview.DocService not correctly initialized. + +Fix for bug #1217874, Error in parameter name in DocManager.CreateView. + +Added wrappers for the wx.RendererNative class. + +Added the wx.lib.splitter module, which contains the +MultiSplitterWindow class. This class is much like the standard +wx.SplitterWindow class, except it allows more than one split, so it +can manage more than two child windows. + +Docview and IDE patch from Morgan Hua with fix for bug #1217890 +"Closing view crashes Python" plus some new features:: + + New feature added to the IDE is 'Extensions'. Under + Tools|Options|Extensions, you can add calls to external programs. + For example you can add a "Notepad" extension (under windows) that + will exec Notepad on the currently open file. A new "Notepad" + menu item will appear under the Tools menu. + +Some fixes to XRCed to make encoding errors a bit more user friendly. + +XRCed changes from Roman Rolinsky: + + * Added new controls (Choicebook, Listbook, StatusBar, + DatePicker), and completed style flags. Test window is opened + for an available parent control if no specific view + defined. Better handling of exceptions (highlighting does not + 'stick' anymore). + + * Use system clipboard for Copy/Paste. + + * Improved some dialogs (window styles, growable cols). Changed + the range for wxSpinCtrl min/max to all integers (default 0/100 + is not always good). + +Updates for wx.lib.foldpanelbar and wx.lib.hyperlink from Andrea +Gavana. + +Fix for Bug #1283496: wxPython TheClipboard class causes problems for +pychecker. Ensure the app has been created before initializing +wx.TheClipboard. + +Fix for Bug #1352602: FileBrowseButtonWithHistory can't type in Value. + +wxHTML: Added space after list item number. + +wx.lib.printout: Applied patch #1384440. + +wxMSW: Fix for Bug #1293225 Window_FromHWND crashes if parent is +None. + +Fix for Bug #1261669, use a wx.TE_RICH2 style for the Process demo so +it doesn't fill up too soon. + +Applied Patch #1354389: wxPython MenuItem SetBitmaps fix. + +Applied Patch #1239456: wxPython wx.DataObject.GetAllFormats fix. + +Applied Patch # #1230107 which allows image handlers to be written in +Python by deriving from wx.PyImageHandler. + +Applied patch #1072210: generalize printout.py to allow text printing. + +Applied patch #1243907: Give Throbber much more flexibility by +allowing the user to set the rest image, the direction, the current +index, custom sequence. Allows user to manually step through the +sequence with Next(), Previous(), Increment(), Decrement() & +SetCurrent(). Very handy if you have multiple throbbers that you want +to synchronize with a single timer. + +Fix for bug #1336711: wx.lib.calendar.CalenDlg can yield incorrect +result. + +Applied patch from Morgan Hua for updates to ActiveGrid code +(pydocview, ActiveGrid IDE, etc.) + +Applied patch #1326241: Supporting "setup.py install --install-headers=path" + +Applied patch from Morgan Hua to fix bug #1219423: CommandManager +should not repeat old commands after a branch. + +Applied patch #1238825 adding search backward capabilities to the +demo. Modified to use the up/down options in the wx.FindReplaceDialog +instead of a separate menu item. + +Fix for bug #1266745 and #1387725 in the wx.FindReplaceDialog on MSW. +Actually check we are using MSLU before doing the hack designed to +workaround a bug in MSLU! + +wxMSW: wx.lib.iewin.IEHtmlWindow now properly handles tabbing, return +and other special keys properly. + +Lots of PyCrust enhancments started by Franz Steinaeusler, Adi Sieker, +and Sebastian Haase, and which in turn were further enhanced, fixed +tweaked and finished up by me. The changes include the following: + + * The Autocomplete and Calltip windows can now be opened manually + with Ctrl-Space and Ctrl-Shift-Space. + + * In the stand alone PyCrust app the various option settings, + window size and position, and etc. are saved and restored at the + next run. + + * Added a help dialog bound to the F1 key that shows the key + bindings. + + * Added a new text completion function that suggests words from + the history. Bound to Shift-Return. + + * F11 will toggle the maximized state of the frame. + + * switched to Bind() from wx.EVT_*(). + + * Display of line numbers can be toggled. + + * F12 toggles a "free edit" mode of the shell buffer. This mode + is useful, for example, if you would like to remove some output + or errors or etc. from the buffer before doing a copy/paste. + The free edit mode is designated by the use of a red, + non-flashing caret. + + * Ctrl-Shift-F will fold/unfold (hide/show) the selected lines. + + * General code cleanup and fixes. + + * Use wx.StandardPaths to determine the location of the config + files. + + * Use wx.SP_LIVE_UPDATE on crust and filling windows. + + * Extended the saving of the config info and other new features to + the PyShell app too. Additionally, other apps that embed a + PyCrust or a PyShell can pass their own wx.Config object and + have the Py code save/restore its settings to/from there. + + * All of the classes with config info get an opportunity to + save/load their own settings instead of putting all the + save/load code in one place that then has to reach all over the + place to do anything. + + * Enable editing of the startup python code, which will either be + the file pointed to by PYTHONSTARTUP or a file in the config dir + if PYTHONSTARTUP is not set in the environment. + + * Added an option to skip the running of the startup code when + PyShell or PyCrust starts. + + * PyCrust adds a pp(item) function to the shell's namespace that + pretty prints the item in the Display tab of the notebook. + Added code to raise that tab when pp() is called. + + * Added an option for whether to insert text for function + parameters when popping up the call tip. + + * Added Find and Find-Next functions that use the + wx.FindReplaceDialog. + + +Applied patches from Will Sadkin for wx.lib.masked modules: + + * Now ignores kill focus events when being destroyed. + + * Added missing call to set insertion point on changing fields. + + * Modified SetKeyHandler() to accept None as means of removing + one. + + * Fixed keyhandler processing for group and decimal character + changes. + + * Fixed a problem that prevented input into the integer digit of a + integerwidth=1 numctrl, if the current value was 0. + + * Fixed logic involving processing of "_signOk" flag, to remove + default sign key handlers if false, so that + SetAllowNegative(False) in the NumCtrl works properly. + + * Fixed selection logic for numeric controls so that if + selectOnFieldEntry is true, and the integer portion of an + integer format control is selected and the sign position is + selected, the sign keys will always result in a negative value, + rather than toggling the previous sign. + +wx.FontMapper.SetConfig is deprecated. You should instead just set an +application-wide config object with wx.Config.Set, which wx.FontMapper +will use by default. + +Added wx.GetMouseState which returns the current state of the mouse. +It returns an instance of a wx.MouseState object that contains the +current position of the mouse pointer in screen coordinants, as well +as boolean values indicating the up/down status of the mouse buttons +and the modifier keys. + +Added wx.SizerItem.SetUserData + +A variety of updates to wx.lib.floatcanvas, including Added +DrawObjects, including a ScaledTextBox, with auto-wrapping, etc, and +Scaled and Unscaled Bitmap Objects. + + WARNING: Changed all DrawObjects to take an (x,y) pair rather + than individual x,y parameters. Also changed rectangles and + ellipses to take (w,h) pair. This is an API change, but should + be easy to accommodate, all you need to do is add a parenthesis + pair: (...x, y, ...) ---> (...(x,y), ...) + + + + +2.6.1.0 +------- +* 4-June-2005 + +wx.ListCtrl: patch #1210352, fixes editing in generic wx.ListCtrl with +wx.LC_EDIT_LABELS. + +Applied patch #208286, MediaCtrl DirectShow rewrite. + +DocView patches from Morgan Hua: bug fixes, and additional SVN +commands, also added a default template that uses the text editor for +any unknown file type. + +wxMSW: Use the system IDC_HAND cursor for wx.CURSOR_HAND and only fallback +to the strange wxWidgets version if the system one is not available. + +wx.grid.Grid: Merge the cell size attribute the same way that other +attributes are merged, e.g., if it is already set to a non-default +value in the current GridCellAttr object then don't merge from the +other. + +wx.lib.evtmgr: Fixed to use wx._core._wxPyDeadObject + +wx.lib.gridmovers: Don't scroll when the mouse is dragged outside of +the grid, unless the mouse is kept in motion. + +wxMSW: Applied patch #1213290 incorrect logic in +wx.TopLevelWindow.ShowFullScreen. + +Applied patch #1213066 correct device names for Joystick in Linux. + +wxGTK: Applied patch #1207162 wx.TextCtrl.SetStyle fix for overlapping +calls. + +wx.FileConfig: fixed DeleteEntry to set the dirty flag properly so the +change will get written at the next flush. + + + + 2.6.0.1 ------- +* 30-May-2005 Added wx.BrushFromBitmap to create a stippled brush in a single step.
