 <h1 class="title">Recent Changes for wxPython</h1>
 <div class="section">
-<h1><a id="id1" name="id1">2.8.1.0</a></h1>
+<h1><a id="id1" name="id1">2.8.3.0</a></h1>
 <ul class="simple">
-<li>8-Jan-2006</li>
+<li>22-March-2007</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Added wx.ToolBar.SetToolNormalBitmap and SetToolDisabledBitmap
+methods.  (Keep in mind however that the disabled bitmap is currently
+generated on the fly by most native toolbar widgets, so this
+SetToolDisabledBitmap method won't have any affect on them...)</p>
+<p>Refactored the inspection tool such that it can be used as a wx.App
+mix-in class as it was used before (with the wx.lib.mixins.inspect
+module) and also as a non mix-in tool (using wx.lib.inspect.InspectionTool).</p>
+<p>Add wx.lib.mixins.treemixin from Frank Niessink.</p>
+<p>Added the wx.SizerFlags class, and also added AddF, InsertF and
+PrependF methods to wx.Sizer.  The wxSizerFlags class provides a
+convienient and easier to read way to add items to a sizer.  It was
+added as a new set of methods of the wx.Sizer class so as to not
+disturb existing code.  For example, instead of writing:</p>
+<pre class="literal-block">
+sizer.Add(ctrl, 0, wx.EXPAND | wx.ALL, 10)
+</pre>
+<p>you can now write:</p>
+<pre class="literal-block">
+sizer.AddF(ctrl, wx.SizerFlags().Expand().Border(wx.ALL,10))
+</pre>
+<p>Will Sadkin provided a patch for the wx.lib.masked package that fixes
+its support for using the navigation keys on the numeric keypad.</p>
+<p>wx.lib.plot: patch #1663937 to allow user to turn off scientific
+notation on plot.</p>
+<p>wxGTK: Most of the remaining TODOs for the wx.GraphicsContext on wxGTK
+have been done.  This includes implementations for GetTextExtent,
+Clip, DrawBitmap, fixing the drawing position of text to be at the
+upper left corner instead of the baseline, etc.</p>
+<p>wx.lib.customtreectrl patches from Andrea:</p>
+<blockquote>
+<ol class="arabic simple">
+<li>ExpandAll has been renamed as ExpandAllChildren, and the new
+ExpandAll now takes no input arguments (consistent with
+wx.TreeCtrl)</li>
+<li>ctstyle keyword is now defaulted to 0: every style related to
+CustomTreeCtrl and the underlying wx.PyScrolledWindow should be
+declared using the keyword &quot;style&quot; only. For backward
+compatibility, ctstyle continues to work as I merged ctstyle and
+style in the __init__ method.</li>
+<li>GetClassDefaultAttributes is now a classmethod.</li>
+<li>UnselectAll bug fixed.</li>
+</ol>
+</blockquote>
+<p>Renamed the wx.lib.inspect and wx.lib.mixins.inspect modules to
+inspection, in order to avoid conflicts with the inspect module in the
+standard Python library.</p>
+<p>Lots of changes to XRCed from Roman Rolinsky:</p>
+<blockquote>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>Preferences for default &quot;sizeritem&quot; parameters for new panels and
+controls can be configured (&quot;File&quot;&gt;&quot;Preferences...&quot;).</li>
+<li>Implemented comment object for including simple one-line comments and
+comment directives as tree nodes. No validation is performed for a
+valid XML string so comments must not contain &quot;--&gt;&quot;. Comment directive
+is a special comment starting with '%' character, followed by a line
+of python code. It is executed using 'exec' when the resource file is
+opened. This is useful to import plugin modules containing custom
+handlers which are specific to the resource file, hovewer this is of
+course a security hole if you use foreign XRC files. A warning is
+displayed if the preference option 'ask' is selected (by default).</li>
+<li>Added support for custom controls and plugin modules. Refer to this
+wxPythonWiki for the details:  <a class="reference" href="http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/XRCed#custom">http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/XRCed#custom</a></li>
+<li>Tool panel sections can be collapsed/expanded by clicking on the
+label of a tool group.</li>
+<li>Some undo/redo and other fixes.</li>
+<li>Fixes for wxMSW (notebook highlighting, control sizes, tree Unselect).</li>
+<li>Notebook page highlighting fix. Highlight resizes when the window
+is resized. ParamUnit spin button detects event handler re-entry
+(wxGTK probably has a bug in wxSpinButton with repeated events).</li>
+<li>Fix for dealing with empty 'growable' property, using MiniFrame
+for properties panel, the panel is restored together with the
+main window.</li>
+</ul>
+</blockquote>
+</div>
+<div class="section">
+<h1><a id="id2" name="id2">2.8.1.1</a></h1>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>19-Jan-2007</li>
+</ul>
+<p>wxMSW: Fix lack of spin control update event when control lost focus</p>
+<p>Added a typeId property to the PyEventBinder class that holds the
+eventType ID used for that event.  So when you need the eventType
+(such as when sending your own instance of standard events) you can
+use, for example, wx.EVT_BUTTON.typeId instead of
+wx.wxEVT_COMMAND_BUTTON_CLICKED.   Note that there are a few composite
+events, such as EVT_MOUSE and EVT_SCROLL, that will actually bind
+multiple event types at once, and in these cases the typeId property
+may not give you what you want.  You should use te component events in
+these cases.</p>
+<p>PyCrust now has an option for showing/hiding the notebook.</p>
+<p>wxMSW:  Corrected drawing of bitmaps for disabled menu items.</p>
+<p>Enhanced the wx.lib.mixins.inspect module.  In addition to showing a
+PyCrust window it is now a widget browser, which provides a tree
+loaded up with all the widgets in the app, optionally with the sizers
+too, and also a panel displaying the properties of the selected
+window.  Run the demo and type Ctrl-Alt-I keystroke (or Cmd-Alt-I on
+the Mac) to see how it works.  You can add this to your own apps with
+just a few lines of code.</p>
+<p>Added wx.SearchCtrl.[Get|Set]DescriptiveText</p>
+<p>wxMac: Added support for the wx.FRAME_FLOAT_ON_PARENT style.</p>
+<p>wxMac: the popups used for call tips and autocomplete lists in
+StyledTextCtrl (such as in PyShell) are now top-level float-on-parent
+windows so they are no longer clipped by the bounds of the stc window.</p>
