Also changed the generated __repr__ methods to be a bit more +informative. + +Made the version number information more robust and uh, informative. +Also added asserts to check that the major.minor versions of wxPython +and wxWindows match. + +Added the new wx "renamer" package that will dynamically import from +the wxPython package and rename wxFooBar --> FooBar. That means that +people can do imports without "import *" and can use names like +wx.Frame instead of wx.wxFrame. This is phase 1 of a full transition +to the new namespace. + +Updated Scintilla to 1.52. I also changed it to use wxListCtrl +instead of wxListBox for the AutoComplete window, added the ability to +use custom bitmaps in the margin and in the AutoComplete windows, and +worked out how to do proper clipping of child windows on wxGTK. + +Patrick O'Brien's PyCrust package has been renamed to Py and now +includes several new tools. As part of the change the location of the +pacakge has changed as well, it is now accessible as "from wxPython +import py" (or "from wx import py" using the new namespace.) There +are still some transition modules in the wxPython.lib.PyCrust package +that will issue a warning and then import what is needed from the new +package. These will be removed in a future release. + +Added __nonzero__ method to wxTreeItemId, wxBitmap, wxImage, wxFont, +and most other classes that have an Ok or IsOK method. This allows +code like "if obj: ..." to be the same as "if obj.IsOk(): ..." + +Toolbars on wxMac can now have controls on them. + +Added wxPython.lib.analogclock module based on samples that were +passed back and forth on wxPython-users a while back. + +Added masked edit controls (wxPython.lib.maskededit) by Jeff Childers +and Will Sadkin. Updated wxTimeCtrl to use MaskedEdit. + +When the __class__ of a dead object is replaced with _wxPyDeadObject +the __del__ of the original class is now called first. + +Added wxTreeListCtrl. (Looks like a wxTreeCtrl embedded in a +wxListCtrl, but actually is just giving multiple columns to a +wxTreeCtrl.) + +Added wxFutureCall, a subclass of wxTimer that makes it easy to delay +a call to any Python callable object. + +Added wxPy versions of wxPrintPreview, wxPreviewFrame, and +wxPreviewControlBar so they can be derived from in Python and be able +to override the C++ virtual methods. + +Simplified how the wxSizer methods are wrapped, changed the name of +the "option" parameter to "proportion" to match the docs ("option" is +still accepted for compatibility, but this will go away in a future +release,) SetItemMinSize can now take a wxSize (or 2-tuple) parameter, +and Spacers can be specified with a wxSize (or 2-tuple) parameter + +Added wxCursorFromBits. + + + + + +2.4.0.7 +------- +Gave up on generating a warning upon the use of the old true/false or +TRUE/FALSE values. + +Fixed wxGenericTreeCtrl (used on wxGTK and wxMac for wxTreeCtrl) so +that it can successfully handle lots of nodes instead of overflowing +when the virtual height of the widget overflowed a 16-bit value. + +Fixed the typemap that converts strings to wxColours to also accept +unicode. + +Fixed problem where the wrong class name could sometimes be used for +OOR. + +Fixed an interpreter lock problem in the __eq__ and __ne__ methods in +wxSize and etc. + +Updated PyCrust to version 0.9 + +Instead of always logging C++ assertions, added wxPYAPP_ASSERT_LOG +flag to turn it on. In most cases turning it into an exception (the +default behavior) is enough. See below in the 2.3.4.1 notes for more +details. + + + + +2.4.0.6 (a.k.a. the I'm so stupid release) +------- +The new deprecation class for the old true/false symbols can now be +returned from OnInit. And I promise to be sure I am testing what I +think I am testing in the future... + + + +2.4.0.5 (a.k.a. the blame it on Kevin release) +------- +A few little but annoying bug fixes. + +Updated pycolourchooser. + +Updated to 0.9b of PyCrust. + + + +2.4.0.4 +------- +Added missing wxRect methods + +Add OOR support for wxApp objects too. + +Added wxCursorFromImage, which works on wxMSW and wxGTK so far. + +All platforms now send EVT_DESTROY_WINDOW. Be warned that at the time +the event is sent the window is in the process of being deconstructed, +and so calling some (most?) methods of the window itself may cause +problems. + +Fixed SF Bug #689481, a method in the OGL wrappers was using the wrong +return type. + +Fixed SF Bug #689958, an endless loop in printout.py. + +Added EVT_WINDOW_CREATE_ID and EVT_WINDOW_DESTROY_ID so these events +can be associated with a specific window ID and more easily caught by +the parent window. + +Fixed copy-paste error in wxListCtrl.GetFirstSelected. + +Added missing Init method (and an overloading wrapper) to wxLocale +wrapper. + +Added a wxBitmap.SetMaskColour convenience method. + +Changed how the dynamic event tables (used for all Python wx classes, +C++ wx classes typically use static event tables) are searched such +that they behave from a Python perspective more like the static tables +in C++. Namely that if there are identical event bindings in a base +Python class and a derived Python class that the one in the derived +class will be found first and that if Skip is called that the one in +the base class will still be found instead of skipping directly to the +static stable in the C++ class. + +Switched to using True/False in the wxPython lib and demo instead of +true/false or TRUE/FALSE to prepare for the new boolean type and +constants being added to Python. Added code to wx.py to test for the +existence of the new constants and to create suitable values if not +present. + +Added some static wxApp functions that help with integration with the +Mac UI. They are no-ops on other platforms so it doesn't hurt to +always call them. The functions are: + + wxApp_GetMacDefaultEncodingIsPC + wxApp_GetMacSupportPCMenuShortcuts + wxApp_GetMacAboutMenuItemId + wxApp_GetMacPreferencesMenuItemId + wxApp_GetMacExitMenuItemId + wxApp_GetMacHelpMenuTitleName + wxApp_SetMacDefaultEncodingIsPC + wxApp_SetMacSupportPCMenuShortcuts + wxApp_SetMacAboutMenuItemId + wxApp_SetMacPreferencesMenuItemId + wxApp_SetMacExitMenuItemId + wxApp_SetMacHelpMenuTitleName + +Refactored, enhanced and added capabilities for the DrawXXXList +functions, inspired by code from Chris Barker. + +The wxWindows .mo language catalog files are now installed in a +subdirectory of the wxPython package dir on MSW since that platform +doesn't have a standard place for them. + +Added missing deselect methods for wxGrid. + +Fixed typemaps for wxGridCellCoordsArray. + +Updated to the 0.9a version of PyCrust + + + +2.4.0.2 +------- +Several bug fixes. + +Added wxIntCtrl from Will Sadkin. + +Added wxPyColourChooser by Michael Gilfix. + + + + +2.4.0.1 +------- +No major new features since 2.3.4.2, mostly bug fixes and minor +enhancements. + +Added function wrappers for the common dialogs from Kevin Altis. See +wxPython/lib/dialogs.py for more details. + + + +2.3.4.2 +------- +Various bug fixes. + + + +2.3.4.1 +------- +Updated XRCed and wxTimeCtrl contribs. + +Show a couple new wxGrid features in the demo. + +Several bug fixes in wxWindows. + +Added wxHtmlFilter. + +wxASSERT and related C++ runtime diagnostics are now converted to +Python exceptions. When an assert happens a wxPyAssertionError +(which derives from AssertionError) exception is created and when +control returns back to the Python code that invoked the C++ API it +will be raised. The same exception restrictions are in place as +before, namely that exceptions can't cross from one Python layer +through C++ to another Python layer. That simply means that if you +want to catch wxPyAssertionError or any other exception that you need +to do it before control returns to C++ at the end of your event +handler or callback code. There is some test code in demo/wxButton.py +you can use to play with this new feature. + +Added some methods to wxApp (SetAssertMode and GetAssertMode) that let +you control how C++ assertions are processed. Valid modes are: +wxPYAPP_ASSERT_SUPPRESS, wxPYAPP_ASSERT_EXCEPTION, and +wxPYAPP_ASSERT_DIALOG. Using _SUPPRESS will give you behavior like +the old "final" builds and the assert will be ignored, _EXCEPTION is +the new default described above, and _DIALOG is like the default in +2.3.3.1 and prior "hybrid" builds. You can also combine _EXCEPTION +and _DIALOG if you wish, although I don't know why you would. + +You can now overload OnInitGui, OnExit and OnAssert in your classes +derived from wxApp. + +Added GetSelectedCells, GetSelectionBlockTopLeft, +GetSelectionBlockBottomRight, GetSelectedRows, GetSelectedCols nethods +to wxGrid. + +Added Python == and != operators for some basic classes + +Fixed the Python wrappers for wxInputStream so they no longer block +when reading from a wxProcess on wxGTK. They now work more or less as +they did before 2.3.3.1 but the dual meaning of eof() has been +removed. There is now a CanRead() method that lets you know if there +is data waiting to be read from the pipe. + +Fixed method name clash in wxIEHtmlWin, renamed Refresh to RefreshPage. + +Added Throbber from Cliff Wells to the library and the demo. + +Windows installer prompts to uninstall old version first. + +Added wxPython.lib.evtmgr by Robb Shecter, which is an easier, more +"Pythonic" and more OO method of registering handlers for wxWindows +events using the Publish/Subscribe pattern. + +Added wxPython.lib.popupctl by Gerrit van Dyk which is a combobox-like +gizmo for poping up arbitrary controls. It is currently using +wxDialog because of some issues with wxPopupWindow... + +Added wxPython.lib.gridmovers by Gerrit van Dyk which facilitates the +dragging of columns and/or rows in a wxGrid. + +Added wxPython.lib.multisash by Gerrit van Dyk which is a nice +implementation of allowing the user to split a window any number of +times either horizontally or vertically, and to close the split off +windows when desired. + +Added helpviewer tool that displays HTML books similarly to how MS +HTMLHelp viewer does. Changed how the wxPythonDocs tarball is built +and added a script to launch the doc viewer. + + + + +2.3.3.1 +------- +Added wxSplashScreen. + +Added wxGenericDirCtrl. + +Added wxMultiChoiceDialog. + +The calltip window and autocomplete window in wxSTC will now use a +wxPopupWindow if available on the platform (and functioning correctly) +so they can extend beyond the client area of the STC if needed. + +Finished wrapping and providing typemaps for wxInputStream and also +added the stream ctor and other methods for wxImage so images can now +be loaded from any Python "file-like" object. + +Changed the img2py tool to use PNG instead of XPM for embedding image +data in Python source code, and the generated code now uses streams to +convert the image data to wxImage, wxBitmap, or wxIcon. + +Added the wxPython.lib.rcsizer module which contains RowColSizer. +This sizer is based on code from Niki Spahiev and lets you specify a +row and column for each item, as well as optional column or row +spanning. Cells with no item assigned to it are just left blank. +Stretchable rows or columns are specified and work the same as in +wxFlexGridSizer. + +Updated XRCed from Roman Rolinsky + +Added wxBufferedDC. + +Upgraded wxSTC from Scintilla 1.40 to Scintilla 1.45, and then again +to version 1.47, and one more time to 1.48! + +UNICODE! + wxWindows/wxPython can be compiled with unicode support enabled or + disabled. Previous to wxPython 2.3.3 non-unicode mode was always + used. Starting with 2.3.3 either mode is supported, but only if + it is also available in wxWindows on the platform. Currently + wxWindows only supports unicode on MS Windows platforms, but with + the recent release of GTK+ 2.0 it is only a matter of time until + it can be done on wxGTK (Linux and other unixes) as well. + + Unicode works best on platforms in the NT branch of the Windows + family tree (NT, win2k, XP) but it is now also possible to use the + same unicode binaries on win95/98/ME platforms as well! This is + done by using a special library and DLL with the application + called MSLU, (Microsoft Layer for Unicode). It simply gets out of + the way if the app is run on an NT box, otherwise if run on a + win9x box it loads a special DLL that provides the unicode + versions of the windows API. So far I have not been able to get + this to work perfectly on win9x. Most things work fine but + wxTaskBarIcon for example will cause a crash if used with the + unicode build on win95. + + So how do you use it? It's very simple. When unicode is enabled, + then all functions and methods in wxPython that return a wxString + from the C++ function will return a Python unicode object, and + parameters to C++ functions/methods that expect a wxString can + accept either a Python string or unicode object. If a string + object is passed then it will be decoded into unicode using the + converter pointed to by wxConvCurrent, which will use the default + system encoding. If you need to use a string in some other + encoding then you should convert it to unicode using the Python + codecs first and then pass the unicode string to the wxPython + method. + +Added wxListCtrlAutoWidthMixin from Erik Westra. + +Added wxIconBundle and wxTopLevelWindow.SetIcons. + +Added wxLocale and wxEncodingConverter. + +A little black magic... When the C++ object (for a window or +whatever) is deleted there is no way to force the Python shadow object +to also be destroyed and clean up all references to it. This leads to +crashes if the shadow object tries to call a method with the old C++ +pointer. The black magic I've done is to replace the __class__ in the +Python instance object with a class that raises an exception whenever +a method call (or other attribute access) is attempted. This works +for any class that is OOR aware. + +Added OOR support for wxGridCellRenderer, wxGridCellEditor, +wxGridCellAttr, wxGridCellAttrProvider, wxGridTableBase and their +derived classes. + +Added wxImage.GetDataBuffer which returns an in-place edit buffer of +the image data. (Patch #546009) + +Added a sample that shows how to embed wxPython in a wxWindows C++ +application. + +Added wxPyWindow, wxPyPanel and wxPyControl which are just like their +wx counterparts except they allow some of the more common C++ virtual +methods to be overridden in Python derived classes. The methods +supported are: + + DoMoveWindow + DoSetSize + DoSetClientSize + DoSetVirtualSize + DoGetSize + DoGetClientSize + DoGetPosition + DoGetVirtualSize + DoGetBestSize + InitDialog + TransferDataFromWindow + TransferDataToWindow + Validate + AcceptsFocus + AcceptsFocusFromKeyboard + GetMaxSize + AddChild + RemoveChild + + If there are other methods that you think should be supported + please let me know. + +Changed wxGenButton to derive from wxPyControl and overload +DoGetBestSize and AcceptsFocus. + +Added wxArtProvider. + +Added wxCallAfter which is a helper function that registers a function +(or any callable Python object) to be called once the next time there +are no pending events. This is useful for when you need to do +something but it can't be done during the current event handler. The +implementation is very simple, see wxPython/wx.py. + +Fixed a boatload of reference leaks. + +Added a demo of using a sizer in a wxScrolledWindow, in effect +creating a ScrolledPanel. + +Added a sample to the demo that shows how to use radio menu items, and +other menu stuff. + +Added wxIEHtmlWin. This is essentially the same as using IE with the +ActiveXWrapper already in the library, but it is implemented all in +C++ and therefore does not need any of the modules from win32all and +so it is less fragile in the face of changes. + +Fixed the ActiveXWrapper problem. Looks like when the win32com +modules make a "callback" that they (incorrectly, IMHO) allocate a +transient thread state structure. Since wxPython is now saving +tstates for it's own callbacks it ended up using garbage after +win32com got rid of the temporary tstate... + +Added a generic static text control to wxPython.lib.stattext. This is +so things like Boa and PythonCard can have a static text that can +respond to mouse events and etc. + +Changed the wxDateTime.Parse* methods to return an int that will be -1 +on failure, and the index where parsing stopped otherwise. + +Moved tools to be a Python package in wxPython.tools, added scripts to +import and launch each tool. This will let you import and use the +tools in your own scripts or apps as needed. On Linux and OS X the +tool scripts are installed to {prefix}/bin so you should be able to +easily launch them from the command line. For example, PyCrust can be +started with just the "pycrust" command. + +Added a sample to the demo that catches various key events and +displays the details of the event. + +Added wxWizard, wxWizardPage, wxWizardPageSimple and wxPyWizardPage. + +Added wxXmlResourceHandler which allows you to create custom handlers +for nonstandard class types in XRC resources. See the demo for an +example. + +Added wxPython.lib.mixins.rubberband module from Robb Shecter. + +Added wxTimeCtrl from Will Sadkin. + + + + +2.3.2.1 +------- +Changed (again) how the Python global interpreter lock is handled as +well as the Python thread state. This time it works on SMP machines +without barfing and is also still compatible with Python debuggers. + +Added some patches from library contributors. + + + +2.3.2 +----- +Added EVT_HELP, EVT_HELP_RANGE, EVT_DETAILED_HELP, +EVT_DETAILED_HELP_RANGE, EVT_CONTEXT_MENU, wxHelpEvent, +wxContextMenuEvent, wxContextHelp, wxContextHelpButton, wxTipWindow, +and a demo to show them in action. + +Deprecated PyShell and PyShellWindow, added a snapshot of PyCrust (see +http://sourceforge.net/projects/pycrust/. ) + +Added the new virtual list capabilities to wxListCtrl. + +Added a wxSTC style editor from Riaan Booysen to the sample apps. + +Added XRCed to the wxPython Tools directory, contributed by Roman +Rolinsky. + +Added a new "constructor" to most of the window classes that calls the +default C++ constructor, (the one with no parameters) and also added the +corresponding Create(...) method. This allows you to do a 2-step +creation of windows which is sometimes required for doing things such +as setting extended style flags before the window is created, or for +passing the object to the XRC resource system to be created from the +resource. The name of the new "constructor" is the original name of +the class with a "Pre" in it. For example, wxPreWindow, wxPreFrame, +etc. + +Updated to version 1.40 of Scintilla and updated wxStyledTextCtrl +accordingly. While doing this update I dropped the wxLB_SORT style +from the wxListBox created for the AutoComplete functionality. This +means that you will have to sort the keyword lists yourself, but you +are free to do case sensitive or case insensitive sorts and set the +wxSTC flag accordingly. + +Updated wxColumnSorterMixin to also be able to place sort icons on the +column headers, and updated the wxListCtrl demo to show it off by +using wxColumnSorterMixin. + +Added wxGenBitmapTextButton, TablePrint, etc. contribs from Lorne White. + +Added wxNativeFontInfo and wxFontMapper. + +Added pySketch to the samples. + +Significantly changed how the Python interpreter lock and thread state +are managed, which should fix the problem of running on a +multi-processor machine. + +Added wxPyLog so log targets can be created in Python to handle log +messages however is wished. See demo/Main.py for an example. + +Added wxFindReplaceDialog. + +The second phase of OOR is implemented for wxEvtHandler, wxSizer, +wxShape and derived classes. This means that functions and methods +that return an object derived from wxEvtHandler that was originally +created in Python, will return the original Python object (if it still +exists) instead of letting SWIG wrap a new shadow object around the +original C++ pointer. + +Added some optimization methods to wxDC: GetBoundingBox, DrawLineList, +DrawPointList. + +Added a set of sophisticated Error Dialogs from Chris Fama. + +Added wxRightTextCtrl from Josu Oyanguren to wxPython.lib for aligning +text in a wxTextCtrl to the right side. + +Added wxURLDataObject and an example showing drag and drop of URLs to +and from web browsers. It's still not 100% bullet-proof for all types +of browsers, but it works for the majority of cases with the popular +browsers on Windows. On wxGTK it seems that only Netscape 4.x works, +if anybody has any suggestions about this please bring it up on the +wx-dev list. + +Added wxStopWatch. + +Added wxMimeTypesManager and wxFileType. + +Passing None for the handler parameter to one of the EVT_** functions +will now Disconnect the event. + +Added wxPopupWindow and wxPopupTransientWindow. + +Added wxFileHistory. + +Added wxDynamicSashWindow, which allows you to endlessly split windows +by dragging a little tab next to the scrollbars. Added a demo to show +this and also the ability of multiple wxStyledTextCtrls to share the +same document. + +Added wxEditableListBox gizmo. + +Updated wxEditor with lots of enhancements from Steve Howell and Adam +Feuer. + +Added the "SplitTree gizmos" which are a collection of classes that +were designed to operate together and provide a tree control with +additional columns for each item. The classes are +wxRemotelyScrolledTreeCtrl, wxTreeCompanionWindow, +wxThinSplitterWindow, and wxSplitterScrolledWindow, some of which may +also be useful by themselves. + +Added wxDllWidget from Vaclav Slavik which allows wx widgets derived +from wxWindow to be loaded from a C++ .dll (or .so) and be used in a +wxPython program, without the widget having to be SWIGged first. The +visible API of the widget is limited to wxWindow methods plus a +SendCommand method, but it is still quite powerful. See +wxPython/contrib/dllwidget and wxPython/demo/dllwidget for more +details. + + + + +2.3.1 +----- +Added EVT_GRID_EDITOR_CREATED and wxGridEditorCreatedEvent so the user +code can get access to the edit control when it is created, (to push +on a custom event handler for example.) + +Added wxTextAttr class and SetStyle, SetDefaultStyle and +GetDefaultStyle methods to wxTextCtrl. + +Added ability to use xml resource files. Still need to add ability to +subclass wxXmlResourceHandler, etc... + +Added wxGridAutoEditMixin to the mixins library package. + +Made ColourSelect be derived from wxButton. + +Fixed img2py to work correctly with Python 2.1. + +Added enhanced wxVTKRenderWindow by Prabhu Ramachandran + + + +2.3.0 ----- Removed initial startup dependency on the OpenGL DLLs so only the -glcanvasc.pyd depends on them. +glcanvasc.pyd depends on them, (on wxMSW.)
