This +new module will (in theory ;-) ) allow you to host arbitrary ActiveX +controls in a wx.Window, **without** requiring the use of the win32com +and other PyWin32 modules! This should eliminate the cronic problems +that have resulted from minor mismatches in how PyWin32 handles the +GIL and tstate when making callbacks, etc. The older iewin module +will be left in this release as the new stuff is not fully backwards +compatible, but you should migrate your code to the new IEHtmlWindow +in wx.lib.iewin, so the old one can be eventually removed. +Additionally, I've always considered that the wx.lib.activexwrapper +module is an ugly hack that I only included in the lib because I +couldn't figure out anything better. Well now we have something that, +if it isn't already, has the potential to be better. So consider +migrating away from using activexwrapper as well.
