<h1 class="title">Recent Changes for wxPython</h1>
<div class="section" id="id1">
<h1><a name="id1">2.5.1.5</a></h1>
<h1><a name="id1">2.5.2.0</a></h1>
<p>wx.ADJUST_MINSIZE is now the default behaviour for window items in
sizers. 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 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 <em>not</em> 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.</p>
<p>Related to the above, when controls and some other window types are
created either the size passed to the constructor, or their &quot;best
size&quot; 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.</p>
<p>Added new MaskedEditControl code from Will Sadkin. The modules are
now locaed in their own sub-package, wx.lib.masked. Demos updated.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Added wx.lib.mixins.listctrl.TextEditMixin, a mixin class that allows
all columns of a wx.ListCtrl in report mode to be edited.</p>
<p>Deprecated the wx.iewin module.</p>
<p>Deprecated the wx.Sizer.AddWindow, AddSizer, AddSpacer methods as well
as their Insert* and Prepend* counterparts.</p>
<p>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 &amp; 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>wxGTK now uses gtk_init_check so wxPython can raise an exception if
there is no DISPLAY available or other initializaion problem.</p>
<p>wx.GetKeyState now has an implementation for wxGTK and is able to
detect the up/down or toggle state of modifier and toggle keys.</p>
<p>The LC_NUMERIC locale is now reset back to &quot;C&quot; (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 &quot;C&quot;.</p>
<p>Switched gizmos.TreeListCtrl to the newer version of the code from the
wxCode project.</p>
<p>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 Hj<48>lm. 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
<a class="reference" href="MigrationGuide.html">MigrationGuide</a> file for details.</p>
<p>EVT_STC_POSCHANGED has been removed as it has been deprecated in
Scintilla for several releases now.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Added a new version (0.8.3) of FloatCanvas from Chris Barker. It's now
in a subpackage of wx.lib.</p>
