Recent Changes for wxPython

-

2.5.2.2

+

2.5.3.1

+

wxMac focus and border refreshes corrected.

+

Updated internal PNG library.

+

wxMac fix for metal appearance on wx.ToolBar.

+

wx.grid.Grid fix allowing DoGetBestSize to be called before CreateGrid +(which means that a min size doesn't need to be specified.)

+

wxMac fix for not sending a native click to a control if it is not +enabled (does an enable itself)

+

Added wx.lib.ogl.DrawnShape, and fixed various little bugs in the new +OGL.

+

Added support to XRC and XRCed for the 3-state checkbox flags and also +for wx.ToggleButton. Updated the generic window styles supported by +XRCed.

+

It is now possible to create "stock" buttons. Basically this means +that you only have to provide one of the stock IDs (and either an +empty label or a label that matches the stock label) when creating the +button and wxWidgets will choose the stock label to go with it +automatically. Additionally on the platforms that have a native +concept of a stock button (currently only GTK2) then the native stock +button will be used. For example, the following will result in a +button with "Cancel" as the label and an accelerator on the "C", and +if run on wxGTK2 then there will also be an image of a red X:

+
+b = wx.Button(parent, wx.ID_CANCEL) 
+
+

Added wx.lib.ticker.Ticker class from Chris Mellon.

+

Fix some incorrect clipping regions in wxSTC on wxGTK.

+

Added wrapper for wx.grid.Grid.GetOrCreateCellAttr.

+

Removed my copy of distutils from the wxPython source tree. Now that +I am no longer doing builds on Python 2.1 the newest distutils is no +longer needed. (There is still one small bug in Python 2.2 distutils +on win32, but it is easily worked around.) This sovles the problem of +incorrect builds on some systems where the system installed distutils +has been patched to behave slightly differently, for example SuSE on +x86_64 or Chandler's build.

+

Updated to SWIG 1.3.22 (plus my patch.) See wxPython/SWIG/README.txt +in the source tree if you need to use SWIG when building your own copy +of wxPython, or other extension modules that need to integrate with +the wxPython modules.

+

Added wx.Frame.RequestUserAttention which, if the platform suports it, +will do something (such as flash the task bar item) to suggest to the +user that they should look at that window.

+

"Fixed" wx.grid.Grid.SetDefaultEditor and SetDefaultRenderer by making +them register the editor or renderer for the "string" data type.

+

Added depth param to wx.Image.ConvertToBitmap.

+

Extended the wx.calendar.CalendarCtrl class with methods that get/set +a Python datetime or date object. (These will only work with Python +2.3+) The methods are PySetDate, PyGetDate, PySetLowerDateLimit, +PySetUpperDateLimit, PySetDateRange, PyGetLowerDateLimit, and +PyGetUpperDateLimit. Also, CalendarEvent was extended with PySetDate +and PyGetDate methods.

+

wxMSW: SetBackgroundColour on a wx.Choice or a wx.ComboBox will now +also set the colour of the dropdown.

+

wxMac: MessageDialog now supports wx.NO_DEFAULT style

+

wxMSW: added AssociateHandle and DissociateHandle to wx.Window

+

wxMac: fix for toolbar tooltips

+

wx.Sizer.Show (and Hide) now take an optional parameter specifying if +the item to be shown should be searched for recursivly in subsizers, +and return a boolean value indicating if the item was found.

+

wxMSW: fixed MaximizeEvent generation in wx.Frame

+

wxMSW: fixed sending duplicate EVT_COMBOBOX events

+

Smoother time estimation updates in wx.ProgressDialog (patch 992813)

+

Made wx.Listbook events more consistent with wx.Notebook ones (patch +1001271)

+

Fixed rounding errors in variable status bar panes widths computation +(patch 1030021)

+

Added possibility to specify printer bin (patch 910272)

+

wxMSW: fixed wx.ListCtrl's SetWindowStyleFlag() to not remove +WS_VISIBLE; also refresh the control automatically (closes bug +1019440)

+

Added wx.Choicebook, yet another notebook-like control.

+

wxMSW: Make radiobutton tab behaviour the same on MSW as in standard +MSW app, i.e. tab into the activated, not necessarily the first radio +button.

+

Added limited support for wxEventLoop (you can't derive from a +wx.PyEventLoop version yet...) Updated and moved the sample showing +how to replace the MainLoop to samples/mainloop/mainloop.py.

+

The C++ xrc lib has been moved out of contrib and into the core, so it +is always built by default. wxPython's build has also changed +accordingly and will build the xrc module as part of the core set of +modules built by default. If you were axplicitly using BUILD_XRC then +it will no longer be recognized as a build option, otherwise you +should notice no difference.

+

wxMac: Fixed radio toolbar buttons to correctly untoggle the others +when a new one is selected.

+

wxMac: Fixed GetLineLength and GetLineText for MLTE text controls

+

wxMac: wx.TaskBarIcon is implemented by allowing you to change the +app's icon on the Dock and also specifying a menu that should be +merged with the normal dock popup menu. See the MigrationGuide for +more details and a warning.

+

Added wx.TopLevelWindow.IsActive() which tells you if the frame or +dialog is or containts the active window with the keyboard focus.

+

Added ability to create a font based on pixel size rather than point +size via the FontFromPixelSize constructor.

+

Updated the Scintilla used by StyledTextCtrl to version 1.61

+

Improved image HitTest for TreeListCtrl.

+

Added wx.App.IsMainLoopRunning.

+

wxGTK: Make wxComboBox spit out a bit fewer surplus events when +holding down the mouse button.

+

wxGTK: Enable key based navigation through notebook tabs as in the +native control with Left and right keys. Support for vetoing.

+

  • lots of doc string improvements and function hiding to better +reflect package's public contents.
    • +
+
+
+

Restructured the installer packages slightly to help facilitate having +multiple versions of wxPython installed at the same time. See the +Migrarion Guide for more information.

+
+
Applied patch from Pim Van Heuven that modifies 4 files:
+
    +
  • wxPython/demo/ListCtrl_edit.py (new demo)
    • +

    • +

    • +
  • wxPython/wx/lib/wxpTag.py (some small fixes)
    • +
+
+
+

Added (thanks to Kevin Ollivier!) wrappers for wx.WebKitCtrl for the +OSX build. Other platforms will raise an exception if you try to use +it.

+

wxPython on OSX can now be built in Unicode mode, can support multiple +version installs, and comes with an uninstaller script.

+
+
+

2.5.2.8

+

Predominantly a bug-fix release.

+
+
    +
  • Fixed fatal error due to improper wrapping of wx.FSFile.
    • +
  • Fixed return type of EditableListBox.GetListCtrl
    • +

    • +
  • Some tweaks in the demo and samples to correct layout, some +flicker problems, and namespace use.
    • +
  • Add wx.Image.ConvertAlphaToMask
    • +
  • Minor corrections in wx.lib.dialogs

    • +
  • Corrections for exceptions in the new ogl
    • +

    • +
  • Add support for wxTAB_TRAVERSAL to the XRC handler for +wxScrolledWindow.
    • +
  • Add support for all wxListBox styles to the XRC handler for +wxCheckListBox.

    • +
  • wxGTK2 now supports alpha blended bitmap drawing
    • +

+
+
+

+

It is now possible to change the tab traversal order of controls on a +panel or dialog. For details see the new MoveAfterInTabOrder and +MoveBeforeInTabOrder methods of wx.Window.

+

Applied (and heavily modified) a patch from Eugene +<svip123@fastmail.fm> that allows the sample modules in the demo to be +edited and reloaded, all from within the demo. You can switch back +and forth between the default and your edited version, and any errors +ocurring upon the reload are reported on the Demo tab.

+

Added a menu item in the demo that will open a PyShell window that has +the app and demo frame preloaded in the namespace. This is another +good way to explore and play with the objects in the currently running +sample. For example, load the Button sample and then do the following +in the PyShell:

+
+>>> b = frame.demoPage.GetChildren()[0]
+>>> for x in range(0, 500, 10):
+...     b.Move((x, 50))
+...     app.Yield(True)
+...     wx.MilliSleep(10)
