The following deprecated items have been removed:
++++
+- wx.Bitmap SetQuality and GetQuality methods
+- The wx.GetNumberFromUser function
+- wx.EVT_LIST_GET_INFO and wx.EVT_LIST_SET_INFO
+- wx.BookCtrlSizer and wx.NotebookSizer
+- The PostScript-specific methods of wx.PrintData
+- wx.PrintDialogData SetSetupDialog and GetSetupDialog methods
+- wx.FontMapper SetConfig method
+- wx.html.HtmlSearchStatus.GetContentsItem method
+- wx.html.HtmlHelpData.GetContents, GetContentsCnt, GetIndex, and +GetIndexCnt methods
+
wx.EventLoop is now implemented for wxMac.
+Added wxPython wrappers for the new wx.Treebook and wx.Toolbook +classes.
+wx.DC.BeginDrawing and EndDrawing have been deprecated in the C++ +code, so since they never really did anything before they are now just +empty stubs in wxPython.
+Solved a problem that has been around for a very long time in how C++ +methods are virtualized for overriding in derived Python classes. +Previously we couldn't do it for methods that needed to also exist in +the base class wrappers such that they could be called normally. (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 now call the base class method the normal way, like this:
++def OnBeginDocument(self, start, end): + # do something here + return Printout.OnBeginDocument(self, start, end) ++
Or like this with super():
++def OnBeginDocument(self, start, end): + # do something here + return super(MyPrintout, self).OnBeginDocument(start, end) ++
Note that the old way with the "base_*" function 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
+
Added the wx.DC.GradientFillConcentric and wx.DC.GradientFillLinear +methods.
+wxGTK: wx.ListBox and wx.CheckListBox are now using native GTK2 +widgets.
+Added wx.ListBox.HitTest() from patch 1446207
+Bumped up to SWIG 1.3.29. This provides some more runtime performance +boosts, gets rid of the dreaded Ptr classes, and some other nice new +things.
+Added wx.Window.GetScreenPosition and GetScreenRect which returns the +position of the window in screen coordinates, even if the window is +not a top-level window.
+Added GetResourcesDir and GetLocalizedResourcesDir to +wx.StandardPaths.
+Added a GetReceivedFormat method to wx.DataObjectComposite. You can +use this to find out what format of data object was recieved from the +source of the clipboard or DnD operation, and then you'll know which +of the component data objects to use to access the data.
+Changed how the stock objects (wx.RED, wx.RED_PEN, wx.RED_BRUSH, etc.) +are initialized. They are now created as uninitialized instances +using __new__. Then after the wx.App has been created, but before +OnInit is called, the .this attribute of each obhect is initialized. +This was needed because of some delayed initialization functionality +that was implemented in wxWidgets, but the end result is cleaner for +wxPython as well, and allowed me to remove some ugly code previously +hidden under the covers.
+Added wx.StandardPaths.GetDocumentsDir.
+Added wx.RendererNative.DrawCheckButton.
+wx.ProgressDialog.Update now returns a tuple of two values. The first +is a continue flag (what was returned before) and the second is a skip +flag. If the dialog has the wx.PD_CAN_SKIP flag and if the Skip +button is clicked, then the skip flag is set to True the next time +Update is called.
+A DeprecationWarning is now issued when the old wxPython package is +imported. If you are still using the old namespace please convert +your code to use the new wx package instead.
+Added wrappers for Julian's new wxRichTextCtrl class, visible in +wxPython as wx.richtext.RichTextCtrl window. It still needs some more +work, but it is a great start.
+wx.lib.mixins.listctrl.TextEditMixin: Fixed the double END_LABEL_EDIT +event problem in TextEditMixin by checking if the editor was already +hidden before continuing with the CloseEditor method. Also added code +to OpenEditor to send the BEGIN_LABEL_EDIT event and to not allow the +opening of the editor to continue if the event handler doesn't allow +it.
+wx.StaticBoxSizer now keeps better track of the wx.StaticBox, and it +will destroy it if the sizer is destroyed before the parent window is.
+Added wx.HyperlinkCtrl.
+Added battery and power related functions and events (wxMSW only so +far.) See wx.PowerEvent, wx.GetPowerType and wx.GetBatteryState.
+Added wx.ListCtrl.HitTestSubItem which returns the sub-item (i.e. the +column in report mode) that was hit (if any) in addition to the item +and flags.
+Added wrappers for wx.ColourPickerCtrl, wx.DirPickerCtrl, +wx.FilePickerCtrl, and wx.FontPickerCtrl.
+Patch #1502016 wx.Image.ConvertToGreyscale now retains the alpha +channel.
+Added wrappers for the wxAUI classes, in the wx.aui module.
+Added the PseudoDC class from Paul Lanier. It provides a way to +record operations on a DC and then play them back later.
+Upgraded to Scintilla 1.70 for wx.stc.StyledTextCtrl.
+Added CanSetTransparent and SetTransparent methods to the +wx.TopLevelWindow class, with implementations (so far) for wxMSW and +wxMac.
+SetDefaultItem() and GetDefaultItem() are now members of +wx.TopLevelWindow, not wx.Panel.
+wxGTK: Stock items (icons) will be used for menu items with stock +IDs.
+Added wx.lib.combotreebox from Frank Niessink
+Added wx.ImageFromBuffer, wx.BitmapFromBuffer and +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.
+wx.lib.mixins.listctrl.TextEditMixin: Fixed the double END_LABEL_EDIT +event problem in TextEditMixin by checking if the editor was already +hidden before continuing with the CloseEditor method. Also added code +to OpenEditor to send the BEGIN_LABEL_EDIT event and to not allow the +opening of the editor to continue if the event handler doesn't allow +it.
+Undeprecated wx.GetNumberFromUser and added wx.NumberEntryDialog.
+Made necessaary changes for building wxPython for Python 2.5. There +may still be some issues related to the new Py_ssize_t type and 64-bit +machines, but at least all compile errors and warnings related to it +have been resolved.
+Fixed reference leak in wx.gizmos.TreeListCtrl.GetSelections.
+wxMSW: Fixed sizing issue with wx.Choice and wx.ComboBox. This change +was implemented by reverting a prior fix for a different problem +(contiuous painting/resizing when a combobox is used as a widget in a +wx.html.HtmlWindow) so a method to fix both problems is still being +investigated.
+wxGTK: Fixed potential buffer overrun when pasting from the +clipboard.
+Fixed problem in wx.lib.splitter when used on 64-bit platforms. Used +the current length of the list for specifying an append instead of +sys.maxint.
+wxMSW: Support added for XP themed owner drawn buttons and bitmap +buttons. For example, if you change the foreground color of a button +it will now be drawn with the XP themed style rather than an ugly +generic button style.
+XRCed: Fix for Copy/Paste objects with international characters.
+Fixed the equality and inequality operators for some of the basic +data types (wx.Point, wx.Size, wx.Colour, etc.) to no longer raise a +TypeError if the compared object is not compatible, but to just return +a boolean as expected. For example:
++wx.Colour(64,0,64) == 123 ==> False ++
wxMSW: Fixed (again) sizing/positioning issues of calling Realize on +a wx.ToolBar that is not manaaged directly by a frame and that is +already shown.
+wxMSW: Fixed wx.Choice/wx.ComboBox so they send events when a new item +is selected only with the keyboard.
+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.
+Switched to using SWIG 1.3.27 for generating the wrapper code. There +are some small changes needed to SWIG to work around some bugs that +wxPython exposes, and to be able to generate code that matches that +which wxPython is using. If you are building wxPython yourself and +need to modify any of the *.i files or to add your own, then you will +want to be sure to use a matching SWIG. See wxPython/SWIG/README.txt +in the source tarball for details.
+wx.Image.Copy, Mirror, and GetSubImage now also do the right thing +with the alpha channel.
+wxMSW: Fixed problem in wx.TextCtrl where using SetValue and +wx.TE_RICH2 would cause the control to be shown if it was hidden.
+wxMSW: Numpad special keys are now distinguished from normal keys in +key events.
+wxMSW: Multiline notebook tab label change now resizes the control +correctly if an extra row is removed or added.
+wxMSW: On XP fall back to unthemed wxNotebook if specified orientation +not available in the themed version.
+Added wx.Toolbar.GetToolsCount.
+Added wx.GridSizer.CalcRowsCols.
+Added wx.OutputStream.LastWrite.
+wxGTK: EVT_SET_CURSOR is now sent.
+wxGTK: Fix RequestMore for idle events.
+wxGTK: Implement user dashes for PS and GNOME printing.
+wxGTK: Correct update region code. Don't always invalidate the whole +window upon resize. Reenable support for thewx.NO_FULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE +flag. Also disable refreshing custom controls when focusing in and out.
+wx.lib.pubsub: Publisher is now able to parse a dotted notation string +into a topic tuple. For example: subscribing to "timer.clock.seconds" +is the same as subscribing to ("timer", "clock", "seconds").
+Applied patch #1441370: lib.plot - allow passing in wx.Colour()
+Added wx.CommandEvent.GetClientData.
+Updated wxStyledTextCtrl to use version 1.67 of Scintilla. +NOTE: The STC_LEX_ASP and STC_LEX_PHP lexers have been deprecated, +you should use STC_LEX_HTML instead.
+wxSTC: Implemented Fix for SF Bug #1436503. Delay the start of the +DnD operation in case the user just intended to click, not drag.
+Updated the analogclock.py module to the new analogclock package from +E. A. Tacao.
+Added the wx.lib.mixins.listctrl.CheckListCtrlMixin class from Bruce +Who, which makes it easy to put checkboxes on list control items.
+Applied a patch from Christian Kristukat to wx.lib.plot that adds +scrollbars when the plot is zoomed in, and also the ability to grab a +zoomed plot and move it around with a mouse drag.
+XRCed updated to allow wxMenuBar to be created inside a wxFrame.
+Added wx.StandardPaths.GetDocumentsDir() (patch 1214360)
+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), ...)+
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.
+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.
+XRCed: Use wx.GetDefaultPyEncoding/wx.SetDefaultPyEncoding for +changing active encoding. Fixed pasting siblings (Ctrl key pressed +while pasting).
+wx.lib.filebrowsebutton: Bug fix from Chad Netzer for when +self.history is None.
+wx.ogl: Patch from Davide Salomoni that adds an optional point +parameter to LineShape.InsertLineControlPoint allowing one to +optionally specify where the new control point has to be drawn.
+wxMSW: setting foreground colour for wx.CheckBox now works when using +XP themes.
+More updates to the docview library modules and sample apps from the +ActiveGrid folks. Their sample IDE is now able to integrate with +Subversion.
+wx.grid.Grid: Ensure that the grid gets the focus when it is +left-clicked. Note that if you have custom widgets that handle the +EVT_LEFT_DOWN event but do not call event.Skip() then you will +probably want to add a call to self.SetFocus in the event handler.
+wxGTK: Add wxSTAY_ON_TOP support [Patch 1206023]
+wx.TreeCtrl: wx.EVT_TREE_ITEM_MENU event made consistent on all +platforms. The location of the click or the item is included in the +event as well.
+wxGTK: Setting background colour of a window now only affects the +window itself, not the borders, scrollbars, etc. (Bug #1204069)
+Print framework: Add more paper sizes and code to fallback to an +explicit paper size if a known paper size is not found for the +printer.
+wxMac: Applied patch for bug #1206181 Option-key decodes are wrong, +also applied patch for bug #1205691 Modified Fn keys don't work.
+wx.Image: Fixed to preserve alpha channel in Rotate90 method.
+wxMSW: Fixed incorrect background colour on wx.CheckListBox.
+wxMSW: Fixed drawing of owner drawn buttons with multiline labels
+Removed a bunch of unnecessary files, and removed or replaced images +that we're not sure of their origin or license.
+The default DoGetBestSize is updated to not always return the current +size if the window has no sizer, children, or minsize set. Instead +the current size is set as the minsize. This solves the occasional +problem where a sizer may cause a childless panel to grow but never +shrink.
+wxMSW: When converting a wx.Icon to a bitmap check if the icon has an +alpha channel and set the bitmap to use it.
+Fixed the wrong class name used in wx.PyScrolledWindow's call to +_setCallbackInfo.
+wxMSW: patch #1207202, Fixes GDI leak when using stock cursors.
+wx.calendar.CalendarCtrl: Patch #1207531, Keeps the CalendarCtrl wide +enough even when the weekday names for the locale are shorter than +usual.
+Made GridCellNumberEditor.StartingKey also insert the typed char when +there is a range of allowed values (so a wx.SpinCtrl is used instead +of a wx.TextCtrl.)
+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. You can switch back +and forth between the default and your edited version, and any errors +ocurring upon the reload are reported on the Demo tab.
+Added a menu item in the demo that will open a PyShell window that has +the app and demo frame preloaded in the namespace. This is another +good way to explore and play with the objects in the currently running +sample. For example, load the Button sample and then do the following +in the PyShell:
++>>> b = frame.demoPage.GetChildren()[0] +>>> for x in range(0, 500, 10): +... b.Move((x, 50)) +... app.Yield(True) +... wx.MilliSleep(10) ++
wxGTK: Applied wxNO_BORDER patch (#1098374) for text control and combo +box.
+(See also the MigrationGuide file for details about some of the +big changes that have happened in this release and how you should +adapt your code.)
+The wxWindows project and library is now known as wxWidgets. Please +see http://www.wxwindows.org/name.htm for more details. This won't +really affect wxPython all that much, other than the fact that the +wxwindows.org domain name will be changing to wxwidgets.org, so mail +list, CVS, and etc. addresses will be changing. We're going to try +and smooth the transition as much as possible, but I wanted you all to +be aware of this change if you run into any issues.
+Many, many little fixes, changes and additions done as part of the move +to wxWidgets 2.5 that I have forgotten about.
+Added wxMirrorDC.
+Added wxIconLocation
+Added Python wrappers and demos for the new wxVScrolledWindow, +wxVListBox, and wxHtmlListBox classes.
+Added wrappers for wxBookCtrl and wxListbook. wxNotebook now derives +from wxBookCtrl.
+Added Gordon Williams' PyPlot module to the library, available as the +wx.lib.plot module.
+I made a small but important change in the code that aquires the +Python Global Interpreter Lock to try and prevent deadlocks that can +happen when there are nested attempts to aquire the GIL.
+The RPMs will now install menu items on Mandrake Linux in +Applications/Development/Tools for PyCrust, XRCed, etc. The RPMs are +also installing icons and *.desktop items in the generic KDE and +GNOME locations, but I don't know yet if they are resulting in menu +items on non-Mandrake systems. (It didn't automatically do it on my +RH-9 build box but I didn't chase it very far...) If you have ideas +for how to improve the .spec file to work better and/or on more +distros please send me a patch.
+The RPMs are now built on a fairly generic RH-9 box, and I have tested +installing them also on my main Mandrake 9.2 box.
+There are some big changes in the OS X disk image. The actual +Installer package now only installs the wxMac dynlibs, wxPython +extension modules and Python packages, and also the command-line tool +scripts. The remaining items (demo, samples, and application bundles +for the Demo, PyCrust and XRCed) are now top-level items in the disk +image (.dmg file) that users can just drag and drop to wherever they +want to put them.
+The wxWave class has been renamed to wxSound, and now has a slightly +different API.
+Updated the AnalogClockWindow with many enhancements from E. A. Tacão.
+wxMac now has wx.ToggleButton!
+wx.stc.StyledTextCtrl has been updated to version 1.58 of Scintilla.
+To help with the wx.stc.StyledTextCtrl performance issues on wxMac +I've added a SetUseAntiAliasing method (and GetUseAntiAliasing too) +that will turn off the use of antialiased fonts in the wxSTC, allowing +it to bypass the slow text measuring routines and use the fast and +simple one instead. By default the setting is turned off (on wxMac +only.) When run on OSX the Py* apps have a new item on the Options +menu for controlling this setting if you would like to experiment with +it.
+Updated wx.lib.calendar with many fixes and enhancements from Joerg +"Adi" Sieker.
+Added wx.Display and wx.VideoMode.
+AppleEvents can be handled by overriding wx.App methods MacOpenFile, +MacPrintFile, MacNewFile, and MacReopenApp.
+Added wx.PlatformInfo which is a tuple containing strings that +describe the platform and build options of wxPython. See the +MigrationGuide for more details.
+Created a new extension module "activex" from Lindsay Mathieson's +newest wxActiveX class. (The existing iewin module used an older +version of this code, but only exposed the wxIEHtmlWin class.) This +new module will (in theory ;-) ) allow you to host arbitrary ActiveX +controls in a wx.Window, without requiring the use of the win32com +and other PyWin32 modules! This should eliminate the cronic problems +that have resulted from minor mismatches in how PyWin32 handles the +GIL and tstate when making callbacks, etc. The older iewin module +will be left in this release as the new stuff is not fully backwards +compatible, but you should migrate your code to the new IEHtmlWindow +in wx.lib.iewin, so the old one can be eventually removed. +Additionally, I've always considered that the wx.lib.activexwrapper +module is an ugly hack that I only included in the lib because I +couldn't figure out anything better. Well now we have something that, +if it isn't already, has the potential to be better. So consider +migrating away from using activexwrapper as well. Please see the +MigrationGuide for more details on using the new module.
+Floats are allowed again as function parameters where ints are expected.
+Use wxSTC in the demo for displaying the soucre code of the samples.
+Lots of bug fixes and such from the wxWindows folks.
+Added wxPython.lib.newevent from Miki Tebeka. Its usage is +demonstrated in the Threads sample in the demo.
+Updates to wxMaskedEditCtrl.
+Added wxMaskedNumCtrl.
+Added Chris Barker's FloatCanvas.
+Added wxScrolledPanel from Will Sadkin
+Added SetShape method to top level windows (e.g. wxFrame.)
+Changed wxSWIG to not generate Python code using apply, (since it will +be deprecated in the future) wxSWIG will use spam(*args, **kw) syntax +instead. Also changed the generated __repr__ methods to be a bit more +informative.
+Made the version number information more robust and uh, informative. +Also added asserts to check that the major.minor versions of wxPython +and wxWindows match.
+Added the new wx "renamer" package that will dynamically import from +the wxPython package and rename wxFooBar --> FooBar. That means that +people can do imports without "import *" and can use names like +wx.Frame instead of wx.wxFrame. This is phase 1 of a full transition +to the new namespace.
+Updated Scintilla to 1.52. I also changed it to use wxListCtrl +instead of wxListBox for the AutoComplete window, added the ability to +use custom bitmaps in the margin and in the AutoComplete windows, and +worked out how to do proper clipping of child windows on wxGTK.
+Patrick O'Brien's PyCrust package has been renamed to Py and now +includes several new tools. As part of the change the location of the +pacakge has changed as well, it is now accessible as "from wxPython +import py" (or "from wx import py" using the new namespace.) There +are still some transition modules in the wxPython.lib.PyCrust package +that will issue a warning and then import what is needed from the new +package. These will be removed in a future release.
+Added __nonzero__ method to wxTreeItemId, wxBitmap, wxImage, wxFont, +and most other classes that have an Ok or IsOK method. This allows +code like "if obj: ..." to be the same as "if obj.IsOk(): ..."
+Toolbars on wxMac can now have controls on them.
+Added wxPython.lib.analogclock module based on samples that were +passed back and forth on wxPython-users a while back.
+Added masked edit controls (wxPython.lib.maskededit) by Jeff Childers +and Will Sadkin. Updated wxTimeCtrl to use MaskedEdit.
+When the __class__ of a dead object is replaced with _wxPyDeadObject +the __del__ of the original class is now called first.
+Added wxTreeListCtrl. (Looks like a wxTreeCtrl embedded in a +wxListCtrl, but actually is just giving multiple columns to a +wxTreeCtrl.)
+Added wxFutureCall, a subclass of wxTimer that makes it easy to delay +a call to any Python callable object.
+Added wxPy versions of wxPrintPreview, wxPreviewFrame, and +wxPreviewControlBar so they can be derived from in Python and be able +to override the C++ virtual methods.
+Simplified how the wxSizer methods are wrapped, changed the name of +the "option" parameter to "proportion" to match the docs ("option" is +still accepted for compatibility, but this will go away in a future +release,) SetItemMinSize can now take a wxSize (or 2-tuple) parameter, +and Spacers can be specified with a wxSize (or 2-tuple) parameter
+Added wxCursorFromBits.
+Gave up on generating a warning upon the use of the old true/false or +TRUE/FALSE values.
+Fixed wxGenericTreeCtrl (used on wxGTK and wxMac for wxTreeCtrl) so +that it can successfully handle lots of nodes instead of overflowing +when the virtual height of the widget overflowed a 16-bit value.
+Fixed the typemap that converts strings to wxColours to also accept +unicode.
+Fixed problem where the wrong class name could sometimes be used for +OOR.
+Fixed an interpreter lock problem in the __eq__ and __ne__ methods in +wxSize and etc.
+Updated PyCrust to version 0.9
+Instead of always logging C++ assertions, added wxPYAPP_ASSERT_LOG +flag to turn it on. In most cases turning it into an exception (the +default behavior) is enough. See below in the 2.3.4.1 notes for more +details.
+The new deprecation class for the old true/false symbols can now be +returned from OnInit. And I promise to be sure I am testing what I +think I am testing in the future...
+A few little but annoying bug fixes.
+Updated pycolourchooser.
+Updated to 0.9b of PyCrust.
+Added missing wxRect methods
+Add OOR support for wxApp objects too.
+Added wxCursorFromImage, which works on wxMSW and wxGTK so far.
+All platforms now send EVT_DESTROY_WINDOW. Be warned that at the time +the event is sent the window is in the process of being deconstructed, +and so calling some (most?) methods of the window itself may cause +problems.
+Fixed SF Bug #689481, a method in the OGL wrappers was using the wrong +return type.
+Fixed SF Bug #689958, an endless loop in printout.py.
+Added EVT_WINDOW_CREATE_ID and EVT_WINDOW_DESTROY_ID so these events +can be associated with a specific window ID and more easily caught by +the parent window.
+Fixed copy-paste error in wxListCtrl.GetFirstSelected.
+Added missing Init method (and an overloading wrapper) to wxLocale +wrapper.
+Added a wxBitmap.SetMaskColour convenience method.
+Changed how the dynamic event tables (used for all Python wx classes, +C++ wx classes typically use static event tables) are searched such +that they behave from a Python perspective more like the static tables +in C++. Namely that if there are identical event bindings in a base +Python class and a derived Python class that the one in the derived +class will be found first and that if Skip is called that the one in +the base class will still be found instead of skipping directly to the +static stable in the C++ class.
+Switched to using True/False in the wxPython lib and demo instead of +true/false or TRUE/FALSE to prepare for the new boolean type and +constants being added to Python. Added code to wx.py to test for the +existence of the new constants and to create suitable values if not +present.
+Added some static wxApp functions that help with integration with the +Mac UI. They are no-ops on other platforms so it doesn't hurt to +always call them. The functions are:
++wxApp_GetMacDefaultEncodingIsPC +wxApp_GetMacSupportPCMenuShortcuts +wxApp_GetMacAboutMenuItemId +wxApp_GetMacPreferencesMenuItemId +wxApp_GetMacExitMenuItemId +wxApp_GetMacHelpMenuTitleName +wxApp_SetMacDefaultEncodingIsPC +wxApp_SetMacSupportPCMenuShortcuts +wxApp_SetMacAboutMenuItemId +wxApp_SetMacPreferencesMenuItemId +wxApp_SetMacExitMenuItemId +wxApp_SetMacHelpMenuTitleName ++
Refactored, enhanced and added capabilities for the DrawXXXList +functions, inspired by code from Chris Barker.
+The wxWindows .mo language catalog files are now installed in a +subdirectory of the wxPython package dir on MSW since that platform +doesn't have a standard place for them.
+Added missing deselect methods for wxGrid.
+Fixed typemaps for wxGridCellCoordsArray.
+Updated to the 0.9a version of PyCrust
+Several bug fixes.
+Added wxIntCtrl from Will Sadkin.
+Added wxPyColourChooser by Michael Gilfix.
+No major new features since 2.3.4.2, mostly bug fixes and minor +enhancements.
+Added function wrappers for the common dialogs from Kevin Altis. See +wxPython/lib/dialogs.py for more details.
+Updated XRCed and wxTimeCtrl contribs.
+Show a couple new wxGrid features in the demo.
+Several bug fixes in wxWindows.
+Added wxHtmlFilter.
+wxASSERT and related C++ runtime diagnostics are now converted to +Python exceptions. When an assert happens a wxPyAssertionError +(which derives from AssertionError) exception is created and when +control returns back to the Python code that invoked the C++ API it +will be raised. The same exception restrictions are in place as +before, namely that exceptions can't cross from one Python layer +through C++ to another Python layer. That simply means that if you +want to catch wxPyAssertionError or any other exception that you need +to do it before control returns to C++ at the end of your event +handler or callback code. There is some test code in demo/wxButton.py +you can use to play with this new feature.
+Added some methods to wxApp (SetAssertMode and GetAssertMode) that let +you control how C++ assertions are processed. Valid modes are: +wxPYAPP_ASSERT_SUPPRESS, wxPYAPP_ASSERT_EXCEPTION, and +wxPYAPP_ASSERT_DIALOG. Using _SUPPRESS will give you behavior like +the old "final" builds and the assert will be ignored, _EXCEPTION is +the new default described above, and _DIALOG is like the default in +2.3.3.1 and prior "hybrid" builds. You can also combine _EXCEPTION +and _DIALOG if you wish, although I don't know why you would.
+You can now overload OnInitGui, OnExit and OnAssert in your classes +derived from wxApp.
+Added GetSelectedCells, GetSelectionBlockTopLeft, +GetSelectionBlockBottomRight, GetSelectedRows, GetSelectedCols nethods +to wxGrid.
+Added Python == and != operators for some basic classes
+Fixed the Python wrappers for wxInputStream so they no longer block +when reading from a wxProcess on wxGTK. They now work more or less as +they did before 2.3.3.1 but the dual meaning of eof() has been +removed. There is now a CanRead() method that lets you know if there +is data waiting to be read from the pipe.
+Fixed method name clash in wxIEHtmlWin, renamed Refresh to RefreshPage.
+Added Throbber from Cliff Wells to the library and the demo.
+Windows installer prompts to uninstall old version first.
+Added wxPython.lib.evtmgr by Robb Shecter, which is an easier, more +"Pythonic" and more OO method of registering handlers for wxWindows +events using the Publish/Subscribe pattern.
+Added wxPython.lib.popupctl by Gerrit van Dyk which is a combobox-like +gizmo for poping up arbitrary controls. It is currently using +wxDialog because of some issues with wxPopupWindow...
+Added wxPython.lib.gridmovers by Gerrit van Dyk which facilitates the +dragging of columns and/or rows in a wxGrid.
+Added wxPython.lib.multisash by Gerrit van Dyk which is a nice +implementation of allowing the user to split a window any number of +times either horizontally or vertically, and to close the split off +windows when desired.
+Added helpviewer tool that displays HTML books similarly to how MS +HTMLHelp viewer does. Changed how the wxPythonDocs tarball is built +and added a script to launch the doc viewer.
+Added wxSplashScreen.
+Added wxGenericDirCtrl.
+Added wxMultiChoiceDialog.
+The calltip window and autocomplete window in wxSTC will now use a +wxPopupWindow if available on the platform (and functioning correctly) +so they can extend beyond the client area of the STC if needed.
+Finished wrapping and providing typemaps for wxInputStream and also +added the stream ctor and other methods for wxImage so images can now +be loaded from any Python "file-like" object.
+Changed the img2py tool to use PNG instead of XPM for embedding image +data in Python source code, and the generated code now uses streams to +convert the image data to wxImage, wxBitmap, or wxIcon.
+Added the wxPython.lib.rcsizer module which contains RowColSizer. +This sizer is based on code from Niki Spahiev and lets you specify a +row and column for each item, as well as optional column or row +spanning. Cells with no item assigned to it are just left blank. +Stretchable rows or columns are specified and work the same as in +wxFlexGridSizer.
+Updated XRCed from Roman Rolinsky
+Added wxBufferedDC.
+Upgraded wxSTC from Scintilla 1.40 to Scintilla 1.45, and then again +to version 1.47, and one more time to 1.48! <wink>
+wxWindows/wxPython can be compiled with unicode support enabled or +disabled. Previous to wxPython 2.3.3 non-unicode mode was always +used. Starting with 2.3.3 either mode is supported, but only if +it is also available in wxWindows on the platform. Currently +wxWindows only supports unicode on MS Windows platforms, but with +the recent release of GTK+ 2.0 it is only a matter of time until +it can be done on wxGTK (Linux and other unixes) as well.
+Unicode works best on platforms in the NT branch of the Windows +family tree (NT, win2k, XP) but it is now also possible to use the +same unicode binaries on win95/98/ME platforms as well! This is +done by using a special library and DLL with the application +called MSLU, (Microsoft Layer for Unicode). It simply gets out of +the way if the app is run on an NT box, otherwise if run on a +win9x box it loads a special DLL that provides the unicode +versions of the windows API. So far I have not been able to get +this to work perfectly on win9x. Most things work fine but +wxTaskBarIcon for example will cause a crash if used with the +unicode build on win95.
+So how do you use it? It's very simple. When unicode is enabled, +then all functions and methods in wxPython that return a wxString +from the C++ function will return a Python unicode object, and +parameters to C++ functions/methods that expect a wxString can +accept either a Python string or unicode object. If a string +object is passed then it will be decoded into unicode using the +converter pointed to by wxConvCurrent, which will use the default +system encoding. If you need to use a string in some other +encoding then you should convert it to unicode using the Python +codecs first and then pass the unicode string to the wxPython +method.
+Added wxListCtrlAutoWidthMixin from Erik Westra.
+Added wxIconBundle and wxTopLevelWindow.SetIcons.
+Added wxLocale and wxEncodingConverter.
+A little black magic... When the C++ object (for a window or +whatever) is deleted there is no way to force the Python shadow object +to also be destroyed and clean up all references to it. This leads to +crashes if the shadow object tries to call a method with the old C++ +pointer. The black magic I've done is to replace the __class__ in the +Python instance object with a class that raises an exception whenever +a method call (or other attribute access) is attempted. This works +for any class that is OOR aware.
+Added OOR support for wxGridCellRenderer, wxGridCellEditor, +wxGridCellAttr, wxGridCellAttrProvider, wxGridTableBase and their +derived classes.
+Added wxImage.GetDataBuffer which returns an in-place edit buffer of +the image data. (Patch #546009)
+Added a sample that shows how to embed wxPython in a wxWindows C++ +application.
+Added wxPyWindow, wxPyPanel and wxPyControl which are just like their +wx counterparts except they allow some of the more common C++ virtual +methods to be overridden in Python derived classes. The methods +supported are:
+++DoMoveWindow +DoSetSize +DoSetClientSize +DoSetVirtualSize +DoGetSize +DoGetClientSize +DoGetPosition +DoGetVirtualSize +DoGetBestSize +InitDialog +TransferDataFromWindow +TransferDataToWindow +Validate +AcceptsFocus +AcceptsFocusFromKeyboard +GetMaxSize +AddChild +RemoveChild
+If there are other methods that you think should be supported +please let me know.
+
Changed wxGenButton to derive from wxPyControl and overload +DoGetBestSize and AcceptsFocus.
+Added wxArtProvider.
+Added wxCallAfter which is a helper function that registers a function +(or any callable Python object) to be called once the next time there +are no pending events. This is useful for when you need to do +something but it can't be done during the current event handler. The +implementation is very simple, see wxPython/wx.py.
+Fixed a boatload of reference leaks.
+Added a demo of using a sizer in a wxScrolledWindow, in effect +creating a ScrolledPanel.
+Added a sample to the demo that shows how to use radio menu items, and +other menu stuff.
+Added wxIEHtmlWin. This is essentially the same as using IE with the +ActiveXWrapper already in the library, but it is implemented all in +C++ and therefore does not need any of the modules from win32all and +so it is less fragile in the face of changes.
+Fixed the ActiveXWrapper problem. Looks like when the win32com +modules make a "callback" that they (incorrectly, IMHO) allocate a +transient thread state structure. Since wxPython is now saving +tstates for it's own callbacks it ended up using garbage after +win32com got rid of the temporary tstate...
+Added a generic static text control to wxPython.lib.stattext. This is +so things like Boa and PythonCard can have a static text that can +respond to mouse events and etc.
+Changed the wxDateTime.Parse* methods to return an int that will be -1 +on failure, and the index where parsing stopped otherwise.
+Moved tools to be a Python package in wxPython.tools, added scripts to +import and launch each tool. This will let you import and use the +tools in your own scripts or apps as needed. On Linux and OS X the +tool scripts are installed to {prefix}/bin so you should be able to +easily launch them from the command line. For example, PyCrust can be +started with just the "pycrust" command.
+Added a sample to the demo that catches various key events and +displays the details of the event.
+Added wxWizard, wxWizardPage, wxWizardPageSimple and wxPyWizardPage.
+Added wxXmlResourceHandler which allows you to create custom handlers +for nonstandard class types in XRC resources. See the demo for an +example.
+Added wxPython.lib.mixins.rubberband module from Robb Shecter.
+Added wxTimeCtrl from Will Sadkin.
+Changed (again) how the Python global interpreter lock is handled as +well as the Python thread state. This time it works on SMP machines +without barfing and is also still compatible with Python debuggers.
+Added some patches from library contributors.
+Added EVT_HELP, EVT_HELP_RANGE, EVT_DETAILED_HELP, +EVT_DETAILED_HELP_RANGE, EVT_CONTEXT_MENU, wxHelpEvent, +wxContextMenuEvent, wxContextHelp, wxContextHelpButton, wxTipWindow, +and a demo to show them in action.
+Deprecated PyShell and PyShellWindow, added a snapshot of PyCrust (see +http://sourceforge.net/projects/pycrust/. )
+Added the new virtual list capabilities to wxListCtrl.
+Added a wxSTC style editor from Riaan Booysen to the sample apps.
+Added XRCed to the wxPython Tools directory, contributed by Roman +Rolinsky.
+Added a new "constructor" to most of the window classes that calls the +default C++ constructor, (the one with no parameters) and also added the +corresponding Create(...) method. This allows you to do a 2-step +creation of windows which is sometimes required for doing things such +as setting extended style flags before the window is created, or for +passing the object to the XRC resource system to be created from the +resource. The name of the new "constructor" is the original name of +the class with a "Pre" in it. For example, wxPreWindow, wxPreFrame, +etc.
+Updated to version 1.40 of Scintilla and updated wxStyledTextCtrl +accordingly. While doing this update I dropped the wxLB_SORT style +from the wxListBox created for the AutoComplete functionality. This +means that you will have to sort the keyword lists yourself, but you +are free to do case sensitive or case insensitive sorts and set the +wxSTC flag accordingly.
+Updated wxColumnSorterMixin to also be able to place sort icons on the +column headers, and updated the wxListCtrl demo to show it off by +using wxColumnSorterMixin.
+Added wxGenBitmapTextButton, TablePrint, etc. contribs from Lorne White.
+Added wxNativeFontInfo and wxFontMapper.
+Added pySketch to the samples.
+Significantly changed how the Python interpreter lock and thread state +are managed, which should fix the problem of running on a +multi-processor machine.
+Added wxPyLog so log targets can be created in Python to handle log +messages however is wished. See demo/Main.py for an example.
+Added wxFindReplaceDialog.
+The second phase of OOR is implemented for wxEvtHandler, wxSizer, +wxShape and derived classes. This means that functions and methods +that return an object derived from wxEvtHandler that was originally +created in Python, will return the original Python object (if it still +exists) instead of letting SWIG wrap a new shadow object around the +original C++ pointer.
+Added some optimization methods to wxDC: GetBoundingBox, DrawLineList, +DrawPointList.
+Added a set of sophisticated Error Dialogs from Chris Fama.
+Added wxRightTextCtrl from Josu Oyanguren to wxPython.lib for aligning +text in a wxTextCtrl to the right side.
+Added wxURLDataObject and an example showing drag and drop of URLs to +and from web browsers. It's still not 100% bullet-proof for all types +of browsers, but it works for the majority of cases with the popular +browsers on Windows. On wxGTK it seems that only Netscape 4.x works, +if anybody has any suggestions about this please bring it up on the +wx-dev list.
+Added wxStopWatch.
+Added wxMimeTypesManager and wxFileType.
+Passing None for the handler parameter to one of the EVT_** functions +will now Disconnect the event.
+Added wxPopupWindow and wxPopupTransientWindow.
+Added wxFileHistory.
+Added wxDynamicSashWindow, which allows you to endlessly split windows +by dragging a little tab next to the scrollbars. Added a demo to show +this and also the ability of multiple wxStyledTextCtrls to share the +same document.
+Added wxEditableListBox gizmo.
+Updated wxEditor with lots of enhancements from Steve Howell and Adam +Feuer.
+Added the "SplitTree gizmos" which are a collection of classes that +were designed to operate together and provide a tree control with +additional columns for each item. The classes are +wxRemotelyScrolledTreeCtrl, wxTreeCompanionWindow, +wxThinSplitterWindow, and wxSplitterScrolledWindow, some of which may +also be useful by themselves.
+Added wxDllWidget from Vaclav Slavik which allows wx widgets derived +from wxWindow to be loaded from a C++ .dll (or .so) and be used in a +wxPython program, without the widget having to be SWIGged first. The +visible API of the widget is limited to wxWindow methods plus a +SendCommand method, but it is still quite powerful. See +wxPython/contrib/dllwidget and wxPython/demo/dllwidget for more +details.
+Added EVT_GRID_EDITOR_CREATED and wxGridEditorCreatedEvent so the user +code can get access to the edit control when it is created, (to push +on a custom event handler for example.)
+Added wxTextAttr class and SetStyle, SetDefaultStyle and +GetDefaultStyle methods to wxTextCtrl.
+Added ability to use xml resource files. Still need to add ability to +subclass wxXmlResourceHandler, etc...
+Added wxGridAutoEditMixin to the mixins library package.
+Made ColourSelect be derived from wxButton.
+Fixed img2py to work correctly with Python 2.1.
+Added enhanced wxVTKRenderWindow by Prabhu Ramachandran
+Removed initial startup dependency on the OpenGL DLLs so only the +glcanvasc.pyd depends on them, (on wxMSW.)
+Changed wxFont, wxPen, wxBrush to not implicitly use the +wxThe[Font|Pen|Brush]List objects behind the scenes, but to use normal +ctor and dtors.
+Exposed the wxThe[Font|Pen|Brush]List to wxPython.
+Also added wxTheColourDatabase and added a library module (in the +wxPython.lib.colourdb module) to load LOTS more colour names into the +colour database.
+Added wxWakeUpMainThread, wxMutexGuiEnter, wxMutexGuiLeave, +wxMutexGuiLocker and wxThread_IsMain to assist with dealing with GUI +access from non-GUI threads.
+wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow is now (more) thread safe if non-GUI threads +use print, sys.stdout.write, etc.
+Added CreateTextSizer and CreateButtonSizer to wxDialog
+Added wxPython/lib/infoframe.py from Chris Fama. It contains a class +that can be used in place of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow.
+Added colourselect.py, imagebrowser.py and an updated calendar.py to +wxPython/lib from Lorne White.
+Added patch to wxPoint_LIST_helper from Tim Hochberg that should make +it gobs faster in certain situations.
+Added tools that will take an image file in a wx supported format and +convert it to data embedded in a Python source file. The image is +converted to XPM format which is essentially a list of strings +containing info about each pixel. The image's transparency mask is +included, if there is one, or a mask can be added if a mask colour is +specified on the command line. It is then pickled and optionally +compressed and written to a Python source file along with functions to +convert it to either a wxBitmap or a wxImage. See +wxPython/demo/images.py for examples, and wxPython/Tools/img2py.py for +the implementation.
+Fixed wxStyledTextCtrl to be much faster on wxGTK. There was some +experimental code that got left in place that ended up causing way too +many refreshes.
+A couple more hacks in my_distutils.py so wxPython can be built with +the distutils that comes with Python 2.1.
+Added a ton of missing methods for wxPrintData.
+Switched to InnoSetup for MSW distributions.
+Added wxToggleButton.
+Fixed bug that prevented wxTreeCtrl.OnCompareItems from being called.
+Added wxGetClientDisplayRect which on wxMSW returns a wxRect +representing the area on screen not occupied by the taskbar and such. +On other platforms it is equivallent to wxGetDisplaySize.
+Implemented the first phase of OOR (Original Object Return). 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.
+No changes happened in the Python wrappers for this release, only +changes and fixes in the wxWindows library.
+New typemaps for wxString when compiling for Python 2.0 and beyond +that allow Unicode objects to be passed as well as String objects. If +a Unicode object is passed PyString_AsStringAndSize is used to convert +it to a wxString using the default encoding.
+Fixed the generic buttons so tool tips work for them.
+Fixed a bug in the demo's tree control.
+Added a listbox to the listbox demo that shows how to find items with +a matching prefix as keys are typed.
+Added code to the wxListCtrl demo to show how to get text from a +column in report mode.
+Added code to the toolbar demo to clear the long help from the status +bar after 2 seconds.
+Added wxJoystick.
+Fixed wxTimer so it can be used as described in the docs, either with +a Notify method in a subclass, or sending an event to a wxEvtHandler +object, (usually a window.)
+Added wxNotifyEvent.Allow()
+Fixed GOBS of reference leaks.
+Massive code changes and cleanup to allow wxPython to be split into +multiple extension modules again. A Python CObject is used to allow +the "export" of SWIG functions and other common helper functions from +the wxc module to other modules, even if they are in separate shared +libraries. Should also be usable from 3rd party code, just include +wxPython/src/export.h
+Changed the default setup so the following are built as separate +extension modules: calendar, glcanvas, grid, html, ogl, stc, and +utils. Will probably add more later.
+Changed the wxPrinterDC to use the new constructor taking a +wxPrintData object. The old ctor is still there using the +wxPrinterDC2 name.
+Added wxPython.lib.anchors.py from Riaan Booysen. It contains a class +that implements Delphi's Anchors with wxLayoutConstraints.
+Added wxPython.lib.fancytext from Timothy Hochberg.
+Changed the GenericButtons to send their event in idle time, so the +mouse won't be captured when the event handler is called.
+Added wxPython.lib.rpcMixin from Greg Landrum, although it's not +integrated with the demo yet. It allows a wxPython GUI to be an +XML-RPC server.
+Significantly changed how the wxStyledtextCtrl code that wraps +Scintilla is implemented. Most of it is now automatically generated +from an interface definition file provided by Scintilla. This means +that it will be much easier to stay in sync with new Scintilla +releases, but also means that some of the method and identifier names +have changed. See wxPython/demo/data/stc.h for a copy of the C++ +interface from which the Python interface is generated. There is now +some inline documentation in that file that should really help explain +how things work.
+I am now using the Python Distutils to build wxPython and to make some +of the distribution files. (See http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/) +This means no more messing with my kludgy build.py/Makefile hack, +builds will be more consistent with other Python extensions that also +use Distutils, and will hopefully make wxPython easier to build for +platforms where there have been troubles before. If you are building +wxPython for Python 1.5.2 or for 1.6, then you will need to get and +install version 1.0 of Distutils from the website above. If you are +using Python 2.0 then you already have it.
+Added wxInputStream and the wxFileSystem family of classes, +contributed by Joerg Baumann.
+Added wxProcess and support for it to wxExecute. wxProcess lets you +get notified when an asyncronous child process terminates, and also to +get input/output streams for the child process's stdout, stderr and +stdin.
+Removed the old python sizers.
+Added __add__, __sub__ and __cmp__ (equality check only) for wxPoint +and wxRealPoint.
+Changed the build to make one big extension module instead of one for +the core and each contrib. This allowed me to do away with the +libwxPyHelpers.so on unix systems.
+Lots of little fixes here and there.
+Some hacks on wxGTK to try and make the AutoComplete listbox in the +wxStyledTextCtrl to behave better. It's still not as nice as on +wxMSW, but at least it's a bit more usable now.
+Various tweaks, fixes, missing methods, etc.
+Added example use of wxTaskBarIcon to the demo.
+Added wxLog and friends.
+Added wxFrame.ShowFullScreen for MSW.
+Added PyShellWindow to the wxPython.lib package.
+Added an attribute named labelDelta to the generic buttons that +specifies how far to offset the label when the button is in the +depressed state.
+Added wxTipProvider and friends. See the demo for an example.
+wxGrid can now change the cell highlight colour.
+Added wxDragImage.
+Fixed printing on wxGTK.
+Added wxDateTime, wxTimeSpan, and wxDateSpan to wxPython.utils.
+Added wxCalendarCtrl.
+WARNING: A while back I asked what should be done about the Magic +Method Names. (Methods that are automatically turned into event +handlers by virtue of their name.) The consensus was that it is more +confusing to have them than to try and expand them to have greater +coverage. I am finally getting around to removing the code that +generates the event binding. This means that if you are using any of +the following method names without a EVT_* call that you need to +modify your code to add the EVT_* to hook the event to the method.
++OnChar +OnSize +OnEraseBackground +OnSysColourChanged +OnInitDialog +OnPaint +OnIdle +OnActivate +OnMenuHighlight +OnCloseWindow +OnScroll+
Added wxSpinCtrl.
+Fixed wxTreeCtrl.HitTest to return both the tree item as well as the +flags that clairify where the click was in relation to the item.
+Fixed thread state problem in wxTreeCtrl.GetBoundingBox and +GetSelections.
+Fixed some problems in OGL. Also wxShape.SetClientData and +.GetClientData can now deal with Python objects.
+Added wxListCtrl.SortItems and changed the demo to show how to use it.
+Plugged a memory leak.
+Wrapped the new wxGrid and friends. The old wxGrid class is no longer +available. There are some incompatibilities, and unfortunately the +new classes are not documented yet, (however the methods are more +consistent with each other now so you may be able to guess pretty +good...)
+Updated filebrowsebutton.py and calendar.py with changes from their +authors. There is now a FileBrowseButtonWithHistory class (what a +mouthful!) and wxCalendar has printing support.
+Added ActiveXWrapper to the library, and some good demos of it too. +It works great for embedding a COM (a.k.a OCX, a.k.a ActiveX) control +in a window and calling its methods. It actually creates a new class +on the fly that derives from wxWindow, the COM CoClass and others +needed to make it all work. The resulting class can be instantiated +just like wxWindow, used in sizers, etc. It also responds to all COM +method calls, properties, etc., and if the class or a mix-in has +matching method names, then the COM events will be propogated back to +them.
+Created a typemap that allows a string to be used for parameters +expecting a wxColour type. The string is either a colour name as +defined in the wxColourDatabase, or a colour spec of the form +"#RRGGBB". See the wxStyledTextCtrl demo for an example.
+I almost forgot to mention the wxStyledTextCtrl! Yes, the +wxStyledTextCtrl is finally in wxPython!! (And the crowd goes +wild...) There's no documentaTion yet (the crowd boos and hisses...) +but I've included a very readable source file in the +wxPython/demo/data directory, a couple fairly good examples, and you +can also refer to the Scintilla documentaion at +http://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaDoc.html to help fill in the gaps +until the docs are done. (The croud murmers contentedly as the tool +provider smiles convincingly and removes his flame-proof suit.)
+Skipped a version number to match what has been released for wxGTK.
+Updated wxMVCTree and added a demo for it, also fixed layout on GTK +and some flicker problems.
+Added a wrapper class for the Visualization ToolKit (or VTK) in the +wxPython.lib.vtk module. (http://www.kitware.com/)
+Fixed wxTreeCtrl.SetItemImage and GetItemImage to recognise the new +"which" parameter.
+Added wxPython.lib.spashscreen from Mike Fletcher.
+Added wxPython.lib.filebrowsebutton also from Mike Fletcher.
+Renamed wxTreeCtrl.GetParent to GetItemParent to avoid a name clash +with wxWindow.GetParent.
+Added wxIntersectRect to compute the intersection of two wxRect's. +It is used like this:
++intersect = wxIntersectRect(rect1, rect2)+
If r1 and r2 don't intersect then None is returned, otherwise the +rectangle representing the intersection is returned.
+Some bug fixes for Clipboard and Drag-n-Drop.
+Rotated text!!! WooHoo! (See wxDC.DrawRotatedText())
+Added a set of Generic Buttons to the library. These are simple +window classes that look and act like native buttons, but you can have +a bit more control over them. The bezel width can be set in addition +to colours, fonts, etc. There is a ToggleButton as well as Bitmap +versions too. They should also serve as a good example of how to +create your own classes derived from wxControl.
+The C++ wxToolBar classes have been redone, and so have the wxPython +wrappers. There have been slight modifications to some of the methods +but shouldn't impact anybody too much. I took the opportunity to add +support for setting user data on each toolbar tool. The new AddTool +methods look like this:
++++
+- def AddTool(ID,
+- bitmap, +pushedBitmap = wxNullBitmap, +toggle = FALSE, +clientData = NULL, +shortHelpString = "", +longHelpString = "")
+- def AddSimpleTool(ID,
+- bitmap, +shortHelpString = "", +longHelpString = "", +toggle=FALSE)
+
There are also corresponding InsertTool and InsertSimpleTool methods +that additionally take an integer position as the first parameter.
+Added a wrapper for the new PCX and TIFF ImageHandlers.
+wxRect now simulates attributes named left, right, top and bottom.
+Removed all non wx stuff from the glcanvas module since DA's PyOpenGL +is better and compatible with the wxGLCanvas. You can get it at +http://starship.python.net:9673/crew/da/Code/PyOpenGL.
+Added some missing EVT functions.
+Added Dirk Holtwic's editor classes to the wxPython.lib.editor +package.
+Changed all the "LIST" parameter names to "choices" to match the docs.
+More fixes for the wxFloatBar, and it now works on wxGTK even better +than wxMSW! (The feat is accomplished by using the wxTB_DOCKABLE +style flag instead of trying to float it ourselves.)
+Skipped a few version numbers so wxMSW, wxGTK and wxPython are all +syncronized.
+wxImage.SetData now makes a copy of the image data before giving it to +wxImage. I mistakenly thought that wxImage would copy the data +itself.
+Fixed wxMSW's notebook so the pages get their size set as they are +being added. This should remove the need for our +wxNotebook.ResizeChildren hack.
+wxPanels now support AutoLayout, and wxNotebooks and wxSplitterWindows +no longer tell their children to Layout() themselves. This will +probably only effect you if you have a wxWindow with AutoLayout inside +a notebook or splitter. If so, either change it to a wxPanel or add +an EVT_SIZE handler that calls Layout().
+Fixed deadlock problem that happened when using threads.
+Added new HTML printing classes.
+Added wxWindow.GetHandle
+Apparently wxMouseEvent.Position has been deprecated in wxWindows as +it is no longer available by default. You can use GetPositionTuple +(returning a tuple with x,y) instead, or GetPosition (returning a +wxPoint.)
+Added wxPostEvent function that allows events to be posted and then +processed later. This is a thread-safe way to interact with the GUI +thread from other threads.
+Added Clipboard and Drag-and-Drop classes.
+Added wxFontEnumerator.
+Many updates to wxMenu, wxMenuBar.
+wxPyEvent and wxPyCommandEvent derived classes now give you the actual +Python object in the event handler instead of a new shadow.
+Added a Calendar widget from Lorne White to the library.
+Made some fixes to the wxFloatbar. It still has some troubles on +wxGTK...
+Added an MVC tree control from Bryn Keller to the library.
+This is a quick bug-fix release to take care of a few nasties that +crept in at the last minute before 2.1.4 was called done. No new +major features.
+This release is NOT syncronized with a snapshot release of wxGTK or +wxMSW. For MSW this isn't much of a problem since you can get the +binaries from the web site. For other platforms you'll have to build +wxGTK from CVS. (See http://web.ukonline.co.uk/julian.smart/wxwin/cvs.htm) +To get the same set of sources from CVS that I used, checkout using +the wxPy-2-1-4 tag.
+Now back to what's new...
+Much more support for event-less callbacks and add-on modules.
+Created add-on module with wxOGL classes.
+Added wxWindow.GetChildren(). Be careful of this. It returns a copy +of the list of the window's children. While you are using the list if +anything changes in the real list (a child is deleted, etc.) then the +list you are holding will suddenly have window references to garbage +memory and your app will likely crash. But if you are careful it works +great!
+Added a bunch of new and missing methods to wxTreeCrtl. The +SortChildren method is now supported, but currently only for the +default sort order.
+Added typemaps for wxSize, wxPoint, wxRealPoint, and wxRect that allow +either the actual objects or Python sequence values to be used. For +example, the following are equivallent:
++win = wxWindow(parent, size = wxSize(100, 100)) +win = wxWindow(parent, size = (100, 100)) ++
Super-charged the wxHtml module. You can now create your own tag +handlers and also have access to the parser and cell classes. There +is a tag handler in the library at wxPython.lib.wxpTag that +understands the WXP tag and is able to place wxPython windows on HTML +pages. See the demo for an example.
+A bunch of the methods of wxMenuBar were previously ifdef'd out for +wxGTK. Added them back in since the methods exist now.
+Wrapped the wxHtmlHelpController and related classes.
+Wrapped the C++ versions of wxSizer and friends. The Python-only +versions are still in the library, but deprecated. (You will get a +warning message if you try to use them, but the warning can be +disabled.) The usage of the C++ versions is slightly different, and +the functionality of wxBorderSizer is now part of wxBoxSizer. I have +added a few methods to wxSizer to try and make the transition as +smooth as possible, I combined all Add methods into a single method +that handles all cases, added an AddMany method, etc. One step I did +not take was to make the default value of flag in the Add method be +wxGROW. This would have made it more backward compatible, but less +portable to and from wxWin C++ code. Please see the docs and demo for +further details.
+Added wxPyEvent and wxPyCommandEvent classes, derived from wxEvent and +wxCommandEvent. Each of them has SetPyData and GetPyData methods that +accept or return a single Python object. You can use these classes +directly or derive from them to create your own types of event objects +that can pass through the wxWindows event system without loosing their +Python parts (as long as they are stored with SetPyData.) Stay tuned +for more info and examples in future releases.
+Added wxPython.lib.grids as an example of how to derive a new sizer +from the C++ sizers. In this module you will find wxGridSizer and +wxFlexGridSizer. wxGridSizer arrainges its items in a grid in which +all the widths and heights are the same. wxFlexgridSizer allows +different widths and heights, and you can also specify rows and/or +columns that are growable. See the demo for a couple examples for how +to use them.
+Added the wxValidator class, and created a class named wxPyValidator +that should be used for the base class of any Python validators. See +the demo for an example. Please note that you MUST implement a Clone +method in your validator classes because of the way some things work +in the underlying C++ library. I did not add wxTextValidator because +of some issues of how it transfers data to and from a wxString, which +in wxPython is automatically translated to and from Python strings, so +there would never be a concrete wxString that would hang around long +enough for the validator to do its job. On the other hand, it should +be real easy to duplicate the functionality of wxTextValidator in a +pure Python class derived from wxPyValidator.
+I've finally added a feature that has been on my list for close to two +years! Ever wondered what that zero is for when you create your app +object? Well now you can leave it out or explicitly set it to a true +value. This value now controls what is to be done with sys.stdout and +sys.stderr. A false value leaves them alone, and a true value sets +them to an instance of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow. (On windows the +default is true, on unix platforms the default is false.) This class +creates a frame containing a wxTextCtrl as soon as anything is written +to sys.stdout or sys.stderr. If you close the window it will come +back again the next time something is written. (You can call +app.RestoreStdio to turn this off.) If you would rather that the stdio be +redirected to a file, you can provide a second parameter to your app +object's constructor that is a filename. If you want to use your own +class instead of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow you can either implement +RedirectStdio() in you app class or change the value of +wxApp.outputWindowClass like this:
++class MyApp(wxApp): + outputWindowClass = MyClass + + def OnInit(self): + frame = MyFrame() + self.SetTopWindow(frame) + return true ++
Please see the implementation of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow and wxApp in +wx.py for more details. A few words of caution: if you are running +your app in a debugger, changing sys.stdout and sys.stderr is likely +to really screw things up.
+Added wxCaret. Unfortunately it's author has still not documented it +in the wxWindows docs...
+Some new 3rd party contributions in wxPython.lib. PyShell, in +shell.py is an interesting implementaion of an interactive Python +shell in wxWindows. floatbar.py has a class derived from wxToolBar +that can sense mouse drags and then reparent itself into another +frame. Moving the new frame close to where it came from puts the tool +bar back into the original parent. (Unfortunately there is currently +a bug in wxGTK's wxFrame.SetToolBar so the FloatBar has some +problems...)
+This release is syncronized with release 2.1 snapshot 9 of wxWindows.
+Switched to using SWIG from CVS (see http://swig.cs.uchicago.edu/cvs.html) +for some of the new features and such. Also they have encorporated my +patches so there is really no reason to stick with the current (very +old) release... This version of SWIG gives the following new +features:
++++
+- +
Keyword arguments. You no longer have to specify all the +parameters with defaults to a method just to specify a +non-default value on the end. You can now do this instead:
+++win = wxWindow(parent, -1, style = mystyle)
+- +
There is now an an equivalence between Python's None and C++'s +NULL. This means that any methods that might return NULL will +now return None and you can use none where wxWindows might be +expecting NULL. This makes things much more snake-ish.
+
There is a new build system based on a new Python program instead of +raw makefiles. Now wxPython builds are virtually the same on MSW or +Unix systems. See the end of this file for new build instructions and +see distrib/build.py for more details.
+wxDC.Bilt now includes the useMask parameter, and has been split into +two different versions. wxDC.BlitXY is like what was there before and +takes raw coordinants and sizes, and the new wxDC.Blit is for the new +interface using wxPoints and a wxSize.
+Added the missing wxWindow.GetUpdateRegion() method.
+Made a new change in SWIG (update your patches everybody) that +provides a fix for global shadow objects that get an exception in +their __del__ when their extension module has already been deleted. +It was only a 1 line change in .../SWIG/Modules/pycpp.cxx at about +line 496 if you want to do it by hand.
+It is now possible to run through MainLoop more than once in any one +process. The cleanup that used to happen as MainLoop completed (and +prevented it from running again) has been delayed until the wxc module +is being unloaded by Python.
+I fixed a bunch of stuff in the C++ version of wxGrid so it wouldn't +make wxPython look bad.
+wxWindow.PopupMenu() now takes a wxPoint instead of x,y. Added +wxWindow.PopupMenuXY to be consistent with some other methods.
+Added wxGrid.SetEditInPlace and wxGrid.GetEditInPlace.
+You can now provide your own app.MainLoop method. See +wxPython/demo/demoMainLoop.py for an example and some explaination.
+Got the in-place-edit for the wxTreeCtrl fixed and added some demo +code to show how to use it.
+Put the wxIcon constructor back in for GTK as it now has one that +matches MSW's.
+Added wxGrid.GetCells
+Added wxSystemSettings static methods as functions with names like +wxSystemSettings_GetSystemColour.
+Removed wxPyMenu since using menu callbacks have been deprecated in +wxWindows. Use wxMenu and events instead.
+Added a helper function named wxPyTypeCast that can convert shadow +objects of one type into shadow objects of another type. (Like doing +a down-cast.) See the implementation in wx.py for some docs.
+Fixed wxImage GetData and SetData to properly use String objects for +data transfer.
+Added access methods to wxGridEvent.
+New Makefile/Setup files supporting multiple dynamic extension modules +for unix systems.
+Fixes for the wxGLCanvas demo to work around a strange bug in gtk.
+SWIG support routines now compiled separately instead of being bundled +in wx.cpp.
+Fixed wxComboBox.SetSelection so that it actually sets the selected +item. (Actually just removed it from wxPython and let it default to +wxChoice.SetSelection which was already doing the right thing.)
+Added the Printing Framework.
+Switched back to using the wxWindows DLL for the pre-built Win32 +version. The problem was needing to reinitialize static class info +data after loading each extension module.
+Lots of little tweaks and additions to reflect changes to various +wxWindows classes.
+Fixed a bug with attaching objects to tree items. Actually was a +symptom of a larger problem with not obtaining the interpreter lock +when doing any Py_DECREFs.
+wxSizer and friends. Sizers are layout tools that manage a colection +of windows and sizers. Different types of sizers apply different +types of layout algorithms. You saw it here first! These classes are +not even in the wxWindows C++ library yet!
+Bug fix for ListCtrl in test4.py (Was a missing file... DSM!)
+Bug fix for occassional GPF on Win32 systems upon termination of a +wxPython application.
+Added wxListBox.GetSelections returning selections as a Tuple.
+Added a wxTreeItemData that is able to hold any Python object and be +associated with items in a wxTreeCtrl. Added test pytree.py to show +this feature off.
+Added wxSafeYield function.
+OpenGL Canvas can be optionally compiled in to wxPython.
+Awesome new Demo Framework for showing off wxPython and for learning +how it all works.
+The pre-built Win32 version is no longer distributing the wxWindows +DLL. It is statically linked with the wxWindows library instead.
+Added a couple missing items from the docs.
+Added wxImage, wxImageHandler, wxPNGHandler, wxJPEGHandler, +wxGIFHandler and wxBMPHandler.
+Added new methods to wxTextCtrl.
+Fixed some problems with how SWIG was wrapping some wxTreeCtrl +methods.
+Support for using Python threads in wxPython apps.
+Several missing methods from various classes.
+Various bug fixes.
+Added DLG_PNT and DLG_SZE convienience methods to wxWindow class.
+Added missing constructor and other methods for wxMenuItem.
+Just a quickie update to fix the self-installer to be compatible with +Python 1.5.2b2's Registry settings.
+Well obviously the numbering scheme has changed. I did this to +reflect the fact that this truly is the second major revision of +wxPython, (well the third actually if you count the one I did for +wxWindows 1.68 and then threw away...) and also that it is associated +with the 2.0 version of wxWindows.
+I have finally started documenting wxPython. There are several pages +in the wxWindows documentation tree specifically about wxPython, and I +have added notes within the class references about where and how wxPython +diverges from wxWindows.
+Added wxWindow_FromHWND(hWnd) for wxMSW to construct a wxWindow from a +window handle. If you can get the window handle into the python code, +it should just work... More news on this later.
+Added wxImageList, wxToolTip.
+Re-enabled wxConfig.DeleteAll() since it is reportedly fixed for the +wxRegConfig class.
+As usual, some bug fixes, tweaks, etc.
+Added wxSashWindow, wxSashEvent, wxLayoutAlgorithm, etc.
+Various cleanup, tweaks, minor additions, etc. to maintain +compatibility with the current wxWindows.
+Changed the import semantics from "from wxPython import *" to +"from wxPython.wx import *" This is for people who are worried about +namespace pollution, they can use "from wxPython import wx" and then +prefix all the wxPython identifiers with "wx."
+Added wxTaskbarIcon for wxMSW.
+Made the events work for wxGrid.
+Added wxConfig.
+Added wxMiniFrame for wxGTK.
+Changed many of the args and return values that were pointers to gdi +objects to references to reflect changes in the wxWindows API.
+Other assorted fixes and additions.
+wxPython on wxGTK works!!! Both dynamic and static on Linux and +static on Solaris have been tested. Many thanks go to Harm van der +Heijden for his astute detective work on tracking down a nasty DECREF +bug. Okay so I have to confess that it was just a DSM (Dumb Stupid +Mistake) on my part but it was nasty none the less because the +behavior was so different on different platforms.
+The dynamicly loaded module on Solaris is still segfaulting, so it +must have been a different issue all along...
+1. Worked on wxGTK compatibility. It is partially working. On a +Solaris/Sparc box wxPython is working but only when it is statically +linked with the Python interpreter. When built as a dyamically loaded +extension module, things start acting weirdly and it soon seg-faults. +And on Linux both the statically linked and the dynamically linked +version segfault shortly after starting up.
+The first "modern" version of wxPython. See +http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/WxPythonHistory
+
