This means that the item's GetMinSize and/or GetBestSize will be called when calculating layout and the return value from that will -be used for the minimum size. The wx.FIXED_MINSIZE flag was added -that will cause the sizer to *not* call window methods to determine -the new best size, instead the minsize that the window had when added -to the sizer (or the size the window was created with) will always be -used. When a window is added to a sizer it's initial size, if any, is -set as the window's minimal size using SetSizeHints if there isn't -already a minimal size. - -Added some convenience methods to wx.Bitmap: SetSize, GetSize, and -wx.EmptyBitmap can be called with a wx.Size (or a 2-element sequence) -object too. Similar changes were done for wx.Image as well. +be used for the minimum size used by the sizer. The wx.FIXED_MINSIZE +flag was added that will cause the sizer to use the old behaviour in +that it will *not* call the window's methods to determine the new best +size, instead the minsize that the window had when added to the sizer +(or the size the window was created with) will always be used. + +Related to the above, when controls and some other window types are +created either the size passed to the constructor, or their "best +size" if an explicit size was not passed in, is set as the window's +minimal size. For non top-level windows that hasn't meant much in the +past, but now the sizers are sensitive to the window's minimal size. +The key point to understand here is that it is no longer the window's +size it has when added to the sizer that matters, but its minimal +size. So you might have some issues to iron out if you create a +control without a size and then set its size to something before +adding it to the sizer. Since it's minimal size is probably not the +size you set then the sizer will appear to be misbehaving. The fix is +to either set the size when calling the window's constructor, or to +reset the min size by calling SetSizeHints. You can call SetSizeHints +at anytime to change the minsize of a window, just call the sizer's +Layout method to redistribute the controls as needed. + Added new MaskedEditControl code from Will Sadkin. The modules are now locaed in their own sub-package, wx.lib.masked. Demos updated. +The changes that implemented the incompatible wx.DC methods in 2.5.1.5 +have been reverted. The wx.DC methods are now compatible with the 2.4 +implemetation. In addition a set of renamed methods have been added +that take wx.Point and/or wx.Size objects instead of individual +parameters. + +Added wx.lib.mixins.listctrl.TextEditMixin, a mixin class that allows +all columns of a wx.ListCtrl in report mode to be edited. + +Deprecated the wx.iewin module. + +Deprecated the wx.Sizer.AddWindow, AddSizer, AddSpacer methods as well +as their Insert* and Prepend* counterparts. + +Added a generic StaticBitmap class in wx.lib.statbmp for the same +reasons that stattext was created, so it could be mouse sensitive on +all platforms like normal windows. Also updated stattext.py and +buttons.py to handle attribute (font & colour) defaults and +inheritance the new way. If you have custom controls of your own you +should review stattxt.py or one of the others to see how it is to be +done. + +wx.InitAllImageHandlers is now an empty function that does nothing but +exist for backwards compatibility. The C++ version is now called +automatically when wxPython is initialized. Since all the handlers +are included in the wxWidgets shared library anyway, this imposes only +a very small amount of overhead and removes several unneccessary +problems. + +Replaced wx/lib/pubsub.py with a version that uses weak references to +track the subscribers, plus other fixes/additions. Thanks go to +Oliver Schoenborn and Robb Shecter. + +wxGTK now uses gtk_init_check so wxPython can raise an exception if +there is no DISPLAY available or other initializaion problem. + +wx.GetKeyState now has an implementation for wxGTK and is able to +detect the up/down or toggle state of modifier and toggle keys. + +The LC_NUMERIC locale is now reset back to "C" (compatibility) when +running on wxGTK to work around the fact that GTK requires the locale +to be set to the system settings but Python depends on LC_NUMERIC +remaining compatible with "C". + +Switched gizmos.TreeListCtrl to the newer version of the code from the +wxCode project. + +OGL is dead! LONG LIVE OGL! (Oops, sorry. A bit of my dramatic side +leaked out there...) The wx.ogl module has been deprecated in favor +of the new Python port of the OGL library located at wx.lib.ogl +contributed by Pierre Hjälm. This will hopefully greatly extend the +life of OGL within wxPython by making it more easily maintainable and +less prone to getting rusty as there seems to be less and less +interest in maintaining the C++ version. At this point there are just +a couple minor known compatibility differences, please see the +MigrationGuide_ file for details. + +.. _MigrationGuide: MigrationGuide.html + +EVT_STC_POSCHANGED has been removed as it has been deprecated in +Scintilla for several releases now. + +All the Window and GDI (pen, bitmap, etc.) class constructors and also +many toplevel functions and static methods will now check that a +wx.App object has already been created and will raise a +wx.PyNoAppError exception if not. + +Added more default args as needed to allow most window types to be +constructed with only the parent window arg. In some cases other args +may be required for normal operation, but they can usually be set +after construction. + +Removed the deprecated ErrorDialogs and PythonBitmaps modules. If you +were using these in your apps then please join wxPython-dev and assist +with a more modern reimplementation. + +Added a new version (0.8.3) of FloatCanvas from Chris Barker.
