Announcing ---------- wxPython 2.9.4.0 (classic) has been released and is now available for download at http://wxpython.org/download.php. There have been a few enhancements and additions, and lots of bugs fixed. More details are below. Various binaries are available for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, and also for OSX using the Carbon and Cocoa APIs, for Python 2.6 and 2.7. Source code is also available at http://wxpython.org/download.php of course, for building your own. What is wxPython? ----------------- wxPython is a GUI toolkit for the Python programming language. It allows Python programmers to create programs with a robust, highly functional graphical user interface, simply and easily. It is implemented as a set of Python extension modules that wrap the GUI components of the popular wxWidgets cross platform library, which is written in C++. wxPython is a cross-platform toolkit. This means that the same program will usually run on multiple platforms without modifications. Currently supported platforms are 32-bit and 64-bit Microsoft Windows, most Linux or other Unix-like systems using GTK2, and Mac OS X 10.4+. In most cases the native widgets are used on each platform to provide a 100% native look and feel for the application. Changes in 2.9.4.0 ------------------- wx.lib.pubsub: Pusub now defaults to the new "kwarg" version of the API. In order to continue using the original "arg1" API you will need to import wx.lib.pubsub.setuparg1 before importing any other pubsub modules. The wx.RA_USE_CHECKBOX and wx.RB_USE_CHECKBOX constants were removed. They were only used by the incomplete PalmOS port which has been removed from the wxWidgets source tree. wx.Font: There is now GetStrikethrough and SetStrikethrough methods. wx.StaticBox: Fixed the client origin and client size on MSW so children of the static box should not overlap the box's label or border lines. Added wx.HTMLDataObject Applied a patch from Sam Partington that fixes some threading issues in the wrapper code and other cool stuff. Added the missing wx/lib/agw/data dir to the installers. Add wx.EnhMetaFile and wx.EnhMetaFileDC for MSW. This DC type is what is used by the print framework in the print preview window, so it needed to be wrapped so self.GetDC() would work properly. -- Robin Dunn Software Craftsman http://wxPython.org
