<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>

<p>For various reasons the new <em>Type A</em> methods in wx.DC were never added
and the existing <em>Type B</em> methods were never renamed. Now that lots
of other things are also changing in wxPython it has been decided that
it is a good time to also do the method renaming in wx.DC too in order
to be consistent with the rest of the library. The methods in wx.DC
that are affected are listed here:</p>

<p>If you have code that draws on a DC and you are using the new wx
namespace then you <strong>will</strong> get errors because of these changes, but
it should be easy to fix the code. You can either change the name of
the <em>Type B</em> method called to the names shown above, or just add
parentheses around the parameters as needed to turn them into tuples
and let the SWIG typemaps turn them into the wx.Point or wx.Size
object that is expected. Then you will be calling the new <em>Type A</em>
method. For example, if you had this code before:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
dc.DrawRectangle(x, y, width, height)
</pre>
<p>You could either continue to use the <em>Type B</em> method by changing the
name to DrawRectangleXY, or just change it to the new <em>Type A</em> by
adding some parentheses like this:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
dc.DrawRectangle((x, y), (width, height))
</pre>
<p>Or if you were already using a point and size like this:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
dc.DrawRectangle(p.x, p.y, s.width, s.height)
</pre>
<p>Then you can just simplify it like this:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
dc.DrawRectangle(p, s)
</pre>
<p>Now before you start yelling and screaming at me for breaking all your
code, take note that up above I said, &quot;...using the new wx namespace...&quot;
That's because if you are still importing from wxPython.wx then there
are some classes defined there with Draw and etc. methods that have
2.4 compatible signatures. However if/when the old wxPython.wx
namespace is removed then these classes will be removed too so you
should plan on migrating to the new namespace and new DC Draw methods
before that time.</p>

AddWindow, AddSize, AddSpacer and etc. will now issue a

<p><strong>[Changed in 2.5.2.0]</strong> 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>Prior to 2.5 the PNG image handler would convert all alpha channel
information to a mask when the image was loaded. Pixels that were
more than halfway transparent would be made fully transparent by the
mask and the rest would be made fully opaque.</p>
<p>In 2.5 the image handler has been updated to preserve the alpha
channel and will now only create a mask when all the pixels in the
image are either fully transparent or fully opaque. In addition, the
wx.DC.DrawBitmap and wx.DC.Blit methods are able to correctly blend
the pixels in the image with partially transparent alpha values.
(Currently only on MSW and Mac, if anybody knows how to do it for GTK
then please submit a patch!)</p>

following:</p>

<h1><a name="ogl-is-dead-long-live-ogl">OGL is dead! LONG LIVE OGL!</a></h1>
<p><strong>[Changed in 2.5.2.0]</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>There are only a few known compatibility issues at this time. First
is the location of OGL. The deprecated version is located in the
wx.ogl module, and the new version is in the wx.lib.ogl package. So
this just means that to start using the new version you need to adjust
your imports. So if your code currently has something like this:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
import wx
import wx.ogl as ogl
</pre>
<p>Then just change it to this:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
import wx
import wx.lib.ogl as ogl
</pre>
<p>The other compatibility issue deals with removing a wart in the
original API that was necessary in order to allow overloaded methods
in derived classes to call the same method in the base class when
using the old SWIG. Instead dedaling with the wart you can now just
call the base class method like you woudl for any other Python class.
For example, if you had to do something like this previously:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
class MyDividedShape(ogl.DividedShape):
...
def OnSizingEndDragLeft(self, pt, x, y, keys, attch):
self.base_OnSizingEndDragLeft(pt, x, y, keys, attch)
...
</pre>
<p>You will need to change it to be like this:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
class MyDividedShape(ogl.DividedShape):
...
def OnSizingEndDragLeft(self, pt, x, y, keys, attch):
ogl.DividedShape.OnSizingEndDragLeft(self, pt, x, y, keys, attch)
