+SWIG 1.3.x Patches
+==================
 
 This directory holds a set of patches for the CVS version of SWIG that
 are required if you wish to use SWIG for wxPython development, or for
@@ -8,34 +8,102 @@ wxPython.  These have been submitted to SWIG's SourceForge patch
 tracker, so hopefully they will get incorporated into the main SWIG
 source tree soon.
 
+wxPython currently uses the 1.3.24 version of SWIG, which you can get
+from https://sourceforge.net/projects/swig/, plus the patch(es) in this
+directory.  Download the SWIG sources, apply the patch(es) here and
+then build as normal.  If you want to use both the patched version of
+SWIG and the stock version, then you can configure the patched version
+to use a different --prefix and then specify that executable when
+running setup.py, like this:
 
+	python setup.py SWIG=/path/to/my/swig [other params]

+swig-1.3.24.patch
+
+    A bug was introduced in SWIG 1.3.23 and remains in 1.3.24 that
+    causes compilation problems with wxPython (copies are being made
+    of objects that don't have a copy constructor.)  This patch fixes
+    the code generator to use a reference to the object instead of
+    making a copy.
+
+    Part of my autodoc patch was disabled becuase a unit-test failed.
+    It turns out that the failure was due to a name clash in the unit
+    test itself, so I re-enabled that section of code in this patch.
+
+    Don't generate the autodocs string for a class if it has a
+    docstring attribute.
+
+    Some typos fixed, etc.
+
+
+
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+This patch was added to SWIG's CVS on 10/2/2004 and a modified version
+of it is in 1.3.23 and 1.3.24.

-swig.python-docstring.patch  Adds "autodoc" and "docstring" features.
+swig.python-2.patch  
+
+    Adds the following features to the Python Module in SWIG.  See the
+    updated docs in the patch for more details.
+
+            %feature("autodoc")
+            %feature("docstring")
+            %feature("pythonprepend")

+
+swig.xmlout.patch            Fixes a couple problems in the XML output
+                             of SWIG: an extra "/>" was removed and
+                             newlines in attribute values were changed
+                             to the #10; entity reference so they will
+                             be preserved by parsers.
 
+                             Also, added options for dumping or
+                             writing to a file the XML of the parse
+                             tree *after* other language modules have
+                             been run (previously you could only do
+                             the XML output *instead of* a regular
+                             language module.)
