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. + + + + +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.

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.
