What's new in 0.4.2
-------------------
wxPython on wxGTK works!!! Both dynamic and static on Linux and
static on Solaris have been tested. Many thanks go to Harm
<H.v.d.Heijden@phys.tue.nl> for his astute detective work on tracking
down a nasty DECREF bug. Okay so I have to confess that it was just a
DSM (Dumb Stupid Mistake) on my part but it was nasty none the less
because the behavior was so different on different platforms.
The dynamicly loaded module on Solaris is still segfaulting, so it
must have been a different issue all along...
What's New in 0.4
-----------------
1. Worked on wxGTK compatibility. It is partially working. On a
Solaris/Sparc box wxPython is working but only when it is statically
linked with the Python interpreter. When built as a dyamically loaded
extension module, things acting weirdly and it soon seg-faults. And on
Linux ??????? (I don't know. I can't get wxGTK to build right now.
I'll have to look into that... :-)

And on Linux both the statically linked and the dynamically linked
version segfault shortly after starting up.

I added a few minor features to SWIG to control some of the code
generation. If you want to playaround with this the patches are in
wxPython/SWIG.patches and they should be applied to the 1.1p5 version
of SWIG. These new patches are documented at
http://starship.skyport.net/crew/robind/python/#swig, and they should
also end up in the 1.2 version of SWIG.
wxPython is organized as a Python package. This means that the
directory containing the results of the build process should be a
subdirectory of a directory on the PYTHONPATH. (And preferably should
be named wxPython.) You can control where the bulid process will dump
be named wxPython.) You can control where the build process will dump
wxPython by setting the TARGETDIR makefile variable. The default is
$(WXWIN)/utils/wxPython, where this README.txt is located. If you
leave it here then you should add $(WXWIN)/utils to your PYTHONPATH.
