On wxGTK it uses a native expander widget, +on the other platforms a regular button is used to control the +collapsed/expanded state. + +Added the wx.combo module, which contains the ComboCtrl and ComboPopup +classes. These classes allow you to implement a wx.ComboBox-like +widget where the popup can be nearly any kind of widget, and where you +have a lot of control over other aspects of the combo widget as well. +It works very well on GTK and MSW, using native renderers for drawing +the combo button, but is unfortunatly still a bit klunky on OSX... + +Use system default paper size for printing instead of A4 by default. + +Added wx.combo.OwnerDrawnComboBox, which is a ComboCtrl that delegates +the drawing of the items in the popup and in the control itself to +overridden methods of a derived class, similarly to how wx.VListBox +works. + +Added wx.combo.BitmapComboBox which is a combobox that displays a +bitmap in front of the list items. + +Added the wx.lib.mixins.inspect module. It contains the InspectMixin +class which can be mixed with a wx.App class and provides a PyCrust +window that can be activated with a Ctrl-Alt-I keystroke (or Cmd-Alt-I +on the Mac.) + +Added some modules from Riaan Booysen: + + * wx.lib.flagart: contains icons of the flags of many countries. + + * wx.lib.art.img2pyartprov: makes images embedded in a python file + with img2py available via the wx.ArtProvider. + + * wx.lib.langlistctrl: A wx.ListCtrl for selecting a language, + which uses the country flag icons. + + * An I18N sample for the demo. + +wx.lib.masked: Patch from Will Sadkin. Includes Unicode fixes, plus +more helpful exceptions and ability to designate fields in mask +without intervening fixed characters. + +Added wx.SearchCtrl, which is a composite of a wx.TextCtrl with optional +bitmap buttons and a drop-down menu. Controls like this can typically +be found on a toolbar of applications that support some form of search +functionality. On the Mac this control is implemented using the +native HISearchField control, on the other platforms a generic control +is used, although that may change in the future as more platforms +introduce native search widgets. + +Added a set of button classes to wx.lib.buttons from David Hughes that +uses the native renderer to draw the button. + + + + +2.7.2.0 +------- +* 7-Nov-2006 + +Patch [ 1583183 ] Fixes printing/print preview inconsistencies + +Add events API to wxHtmlWindow (patch #1504493 by Francesco Montorsi) + +Added wxTB_RIGHT style for right-aligned toolbars (Igor Korot) + +Added New Zealand NZST and NZDT timezone support to wx.DateTime. + +wx.Window.GetAdjustedBestSize is deprecated. In every conceivable +scenario GetEffectiveMinSize is probably what you want to use instead. + +wx.Image: Gained support for TGA image file format. + +wx.aui: The classes in the wx.aui module have been renamed to be more +consistent with each other, and make it easier to recognize in the +docs and etc. that they belong together. + + FrameManager --> AuiManager + FrameManagerEvent --> AuiManagerEvent + PaneInfo --> AuiPaneInfo + FloatingPane --> AuiFloatingPane + DockArt --> AuiDockArt + TabArt --> AuiTabArt + AuiMultiNotebook --> AuiNotebook + AuiNotebookEvent --> AuiNotebookEvent + +wx.lib.customtreectrl: A patch from Frank Niessink which adds an +additional style (TR_AUTO_CHECK_PARENT) that (un)checks a parent when +all children are (un)checked. + +wx.animate.AnimationCtrl fixed to display inactive bitmap at start +(patch 1590192) + +Patch from Dj Gilcrease adding the FNB_HIDE_ON_SINGLE_TAB style flag +for wx.lib.flatnotebook. + +wx.Window.GetBestFittingSize has been renamed to GetEffectiveMinSize. +SetBestFittingSize has been renamed to SetInitialSize, since it is +most often used only to set the initial (and minimal) size of a +widget. + +The QuickTime backend for wx.media.MediaCtrl on MS Windows works +again. Just pass szBackend=wx.media.MEDIABACKEND_QUICKTIME to the +constructor to use it instead of the default ActiveMovie backend, +(assuming the quicktime DLLs are available on the system.) + + + + + + +2.7.1.3 +------- +* 26-Oct-2006 + +wxGTK: The wx.ALWAYS_SHOW_SB style is now supported. + +Fixed name errors in the old wxPython package namespace. As a +reminder, use of this package is deprecated and you are encouraged to +switch your programs over to the wx package. + +Fixed wx.glcanvas.GLCanvas.SetCurrent to be compatible with prevoius +versons. + +Added wx.StandardPaths.GetTmpDir. + +Bug fixes in the wx.ListCtrl on Mac from Kevin Olivier, allowing it to +send events properly again. There is also a new native implementation +of wx.ListCtrl available, which will be used for wx.LC_REPORT style +list controls if you set the "mac.listctrl.always_use_generic" +SystemOption to zero. In a future release this will be the default. + +Added a sample to the demo that shows some of what can be done with +the new wx.GraphicsContext and wx.GraphicsPath classes. + + + + +2.7.1.2 +------- +* 21-Oct-2006 + +Fixed a bug in the MaskedEdit controls caused by conflicting IsEmpty +methods. + +Patch #1579280: Some mimetype optimizations on unix-like systems. + +wxMac: Several wx.webkit.WebKitCtrl enhancements/fixes, including: + + - new methods for increasing/decreasing text size, getting + selection, getting/setting scroll position, printing, enabling + editing, and running JavaScripts on the page. + + - added new event (wx.webkit.WebKitBeforeLoadEvent) for catching, and + possibly vetoing, load events before they occur. + + - wx.webkit.WebKitCtrl now fires mouse events for certain events + that it was eating before. This improves wxSplitterWindow + resizing behavior. + + - refactoring of the sizing logic to move the Cocoa view. Tested + with splitter windows, panels, notebooks and all position + correctly with this. + +Some improvements to the drawing code in CustomTreeCtrl. + +Fixed refcount leak in wx.Window.GetChildren. + + + + + +2.7.1.1 +------- +* 18-Oct-2006 + +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 object 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 expands 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 module 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 core 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. + + + + + + + +2.6.3.3 +------- +* 15-July-2006 + +wx.lib.pubsub updates from Oliver Schoenborn: + - fixed the hash problem with non-hashable objects + - now supports listeners that use \*args as an argument + (listener(\*args) was not passing the validity test) + - corrected some mistakes in documentation + - added some clarifications (hopefully useful for first time + users) + - changed the way singleton is implemented since old way prevented + pydoc etc from extracting docs for Publisher + +DocView and ActiveGrid IDE updates from Morgan Hua: + New Features: In Tab-View mode, Ctrl-number will take the user to + the numbered tab view. Modified files now show an '*' astrisk in + the view title. Debugger framework can now support PHP debugging. + Not important for python development, but at least that means the + debugger framework is more generalized. + +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. + + + + +2.6.3.2 +------- +* 3-April-2006 + +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. + + + +2.6.3.0 +------- +* 27-March-2006 + +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) + + + + + + +2.6.2.1 +------- +* 10-Jan-2006 + +wxMSW: Fix for bug #1211907, popup menu indenting inconsistent with +bitmaps. + +wxMac: Don't send an event for wx.RadioButton deselections, just the +selections. This was done to make it consistent with the other +platforms. + +wxMSW: Always set flat toolbar style, even under XP with themes: this +is necessary or separators aren't shown at all. + +Fixes for bug #1217872, pydocview.DocService not correctly initialized. + +Fix for bug #1217874, Error in parameter name in DocManager.CreateView. + +Added wrappers for the wx.RendererNative class. + +Added the wx.lib.splitter module, which contains the +MultiSplitterWindow class. This class is much like the standard +wx.SplitterWindow class, except it allows more than one split, so it +can manage more than two child windows. + +Docview and IDE patch from Morgan Hua with fix for bug #1217890 +"Closing view crashes Python" plus some new features: + + New feature added to the IDE is 'Extensions'. Under + Tools|Options|Extensions, you can add calls to external programs. + For example you can add a "Notepad" extension (under windows) that + will exec Notepad on the currently open file. A new "Notepad" + menu item will appear under the Tools menu. + +Some fixes to XRCed to make encoding errors a bit more user friendly. + +XRCed changes from Roman Rolinsky: + + * Added new controls (Choicebook, Listbook, StatusBar, + DatePicker), and completed style flags. Test window is opened + for an available parent control if no specific view + defined. Better handling of exceptions (highlighting does not + 'stick' anymore). + + * Use system clipboard for Copy/Paste. + + * Improved some dialogs (window styles, growable cols). Changed + the range for wxSpinCtrl min/max to all integers (default 0/100 + is not always good). + +Updates for wx.lib.foldpanelbar and wx.lib.hyperlink from Andrea +Gavana. + +Fix for Bug #1283496: wxPython TheClipboard class causes problems for +pychecker. Ensure the app has been created before initializing +wx.TheClipboard. + +Fix for Bug #1352602: FileBrowseButtonWithHistory can't type in Value. + +wxHTML: Added space after list item number. + +wx.lib.printout: Applied patch #1384440. + +wxMSW: Fix for Bug #1293225 Window_FromHWND crashes if parent is +None. + +Fix for Bug #1261669, use a wx.TE_RICH2 style for the Process demo so +it doesn't fill up too soon. + +Applied Patch #1354389: wxPython MenuItem SetBitmaps fix. + +Applied Patch #1239456: wxPython wx.DataObject.GetAllFormats fix. + +Applied Patch # #1230107 which allows image handlers to be written in +Python by deriving from wx.PyImageHandler. + +Applied patch #1072210: generalize printout.py to allow text printing. + +Applied patch #1243907: Give Throbber much more flexibility by +allowing the user to set the rest image, the direction, the current +index, custom sequence. Allows user to manually step through the +sequence with Next(), Previous(), Increment(), Decrement() & +SetCurrent().

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.
