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.
