It contains a class +that can be used in place of wxPyOnDemandOutputWindow. + +Added colourselect.py, imagebrowser.py and an updated calendar.py to +wxPython/lib from Lorne White. + +Added patch to wxPoint_LIST_helper from Tim Hochberg that should make +it gobs faster in certain situations. + +Added tools that will take an image file in a wx supported format and +convert it to data embedded in a Python source file. The image is +converted to XPM format (with its transparency mask intact, if there +is one) which is essentially a list of strings containing info about +each pixel. It is then pickled and optionally compressed and written +to a Python source file along with functions to convert it to either a +wxBitmap or a wxImage. See wxPython/demo/images.py for examples, and +wxPython/Tools/img2py.py for the implementation. Unfortunatly, there +is no SaveFile implemented for the XPM image type in wxGTK so the +tools to create the embedded image files don't work on wxGTK, only on +wxMSW. The img2xpm.py tool could probably be hacked to use external +tools, or PIL, to do the XPM conversion on wxGTK. If somebody does +this please send me a patch. + +Fixed wxStyledTextCtrl to be much faster on wxGTK. There was some +experimental code that got left in place that ended up causing way too +many refreshes. + +A couple hacks in my_distutils.py so wxPython can be built with the +distutils that comes with Python 2.1. + + + + + +2.2.6 +----- + +No changes happened in the Python wrappers for this release, only +changes and fixes in the wxWindows library. + + + +2.2.5 +----- + +New typemaps for wxString when compiling for Python 2.0 and beyond +that allow Unicode objects to be passed as well as String objects. If +a Unicode object is passed PyString_AsStringAndSize is used to convert +it to a wxString using the default encoding. + +Fixed the generic buttons so tool tips work for them. + +Fixed a bug in the demo's tree control. + +Added a listbox to the listbox demo that shows how to find items with +a matching prefix as keys are typed. + +Added code to the wxListCtrl demo to show how to get text from a +column in report mode. + +Added code to the toolbar demo to clear the long help from the status +bar after 2 seconds. + +Added wxJoystick. + +Fixed wxTimer so it can be used as described in the docs, either with +a Notify method in a subclass, or sending an event to a wxEvtHandler +object, (usually a window.) + +Added wxNotifyEvent.Allow() + +Fixed GOBS of reference leaks. + +Massive code changes and cleanup to allow wxPython to be split into +multiple extension modules again. A Python CObject is used to allow +the "export" of SWIG functions and other common helper functions from +the wxc module to other modules, even if they are in separate shared +libraries. Should also be usable from 3rd party code, just include +wxPython/src/export.h + +Changed the default setup so the following are built as separate +extension modules: calendar, glcanvas, grid, html, ogl, stc, and +utils. Will probably add more later. + +Changed the wxPrinterDC to use the new constructor taking a +wxPrintData object. The old ctor is still there using the +wxPrinterDC2 name. + +Added wxPython.lib.anchors.py from Riaan Booysen. It contains a class +that implements Delphi's Anchors with wxLayoutConstraints. + +Added wxPython.lib.fancytext from Timothy Hochberg. + +Changed the GenericButtons to send their event in idle time, so the +mouse won't be captured when the event handler is called. + +Added wxPython.lib.rpcMixin from Greg Landrum, although it's not +integrated with the demo yet. It allows a wxPython GUI to be an +XML-RPC server. + + + New in 2.2.2 ------------
