Recent Changes for wxPython

-

2.6.0.0

+

2.6.0.1

+

Added wx.BrushFromBitmap to create a stippled brush in a single step. +Also added missing brysh style flags: wx.STIPPLE_MASK +wx.STIPPLE_MASK_OPAQUE.

+

wxMSW: Fix for default control colours when the system text fg colour +is not black.

+

wxGTK: Patch #1171754, It is now possible to have a menu item that +both has an icon and is a submenu.

+

wxMSW: Patch #1197009, better refreshes when windows are moved and +resized.

+

wxMSW: Patch #1197468. Keeps track of pending size/position changes +in case there is more than one adjustment for a window in a single +DeferWindowPos set, then the pending values can be used for defaults +instead of current values.

+

Fixed the typemap that converts a Python list of strings to a +wxArrayString so it uses the wxPython default encoding.

+

Several docstrings added and updated. Lots more to go.

+

wxMac: Strings added to the clipboard or used in DnD no longer have an +extra null character at the end.

+

Added wx.GetXDisplay that returns a raw swigified pointer for the X11 +Display, or None for the non-X11 platforms.

+

wxMenu: Don't send an event when selecting an already selected radio +item.

+

Added wx.LaunchDefaultBrowser.

+

wxMSW: Fixed erroneous selection of content in wx.ComboBox when within +a wx.StaticBox.

+

wxMSW: Fixed alpha blitting to take into account source position.

+

Ensure that Python is still in an initialized state before doing any +locking or unlocking in wxPyBeginBlockThreads and wxPyEndBlockThreads +as these can be triggered after Python has been finalized in embedding +situations.

+

Added alternate constructors for wx.Font: wx.FontFromPixelSize, +wx.FFont, wx.FFontFromPixelSize. See the docstrings or new api docs +for details.

+

Added wx.lib.hyperlink from Andrea Gavana. It is a control like +static text that acts like a hyper-link, launching the system's +default browser in response to the clicks.

+

Added an optional parameter to wxversion.select that allows you to +specify that the extra components specified in the version string are +required. For example, if you ask for "2.6-unicode" but only the ansi +version is installed then by default the ansi version will be selected +as it considered close enough since the version numbers match. If you +want to force the options to be required then you can just add a True +parameter, like this:

+
+import wxversion
+wxversion.select("2.6-unicode", True)
+import wx
+
+

Tweaked wx.lib.buttons such that flat buttons (e.g. have no bevel and +a wx.BORDER_NONE style flag) paint themed backgrounds if there are +transparent areas and the parent is displaying a theme.

+

wxMSW: Fix for wrong sash colour of wx.SplitterWindow in the silver +theme on XP.

+

Added a wx.xrc.XmlResourceHandler for the Ticker class. See +wx/lib/ticker_xrc.py

+

wxSTC: Fixed CmdKeyAssign key bindings for Ctrl-Backspace.

+

wxMSW: Fixed a bug in wx.TextCtrl where all the lines were being used +to calculate the best size, instead of using a reasonable limit.
