Without this fix, an +out-of-sync assert is generated when clicking on a radio button and +then calling GetValue(). + +XRC: + - Added 'icon' property to wxFrame and wxDialog + - No longer ignores menu bitmaps on non-MSW platforms + - Notebook page bitmaps are now supported + - added system colours and fonts support (based on patch #1038207) + +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 `Finalize` 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.
