This will be the last release to include binaries for Python 2.7. The
|
||||
code will likely still compile and be compatible with Python 2.7 for
|
||||
some time, but no effort will be put into keeping it that way.
|

|
||||
|
||||
New and improved in this release:
|
||||
|
||||
* Add wx.Font.AddPrivateFont example to the demo.
|
||||
* Add a sample for wx.Font.AddPrivateFont to the demo.
|
||||
|
||||
* Added wrappers for the OSXEnableAutomaticQuoteSubstitution,
|
||||
OSXEnableAutomaticDashSubstitution, and OSXDisableAllSmartSubstitutions
|
||||
methods in wx.TextCtrl. Also added OSXEnableAutomaticTabbing in wx.App.

|
||||
|
||||
* Added wx.ColourDialogEvent, wx.DCTextBgColourChanger, wx.DCTextBgModeChanger,
|
||||
wx.grid.GridCellDateRenderer, wx.grid.GridCellDateEditor, wx.SystemAppearance,
|
||||
etc.

* Many of the deprecated items in wxWidgets and wxPython are being or have
|
||||
been removed. Be sure to test your code in a recent 4.0.x release with
|
||||
warnings enabled so you can see which class, method or function calls you need
|
||||
to change.

|

|
||||
* Bug fixes in wx.lib.calendar: key navigation across month boundaries is now
|
||||
possible; key navigation now sets the date and fires the EVT_CALENDAR event;
|
||||
setter APIs now set the date correctly (#1230).

|

widgets when running on a GTK3 port.

stuck forever (#1235).

|

* Grafted on a EnableSystemTheme method to the classes which support it. This
|
||||
can be used to disable the default system theme on Windows for native widgets
|
||||
like wx.ListCtrl, wx.TreeCtrl and wx.dataview.DataViewCtrl. It has no effect
|
||||
on the other platforms.

* The wx.WS_EX_VALIDATE_RECURSIVELY extended style flag is obsolete, as it is
|
||||
now the default (and only) behavior. The style flag has been added back into
|
||||
wxPython for compatibility, but with a zero value. You can just stop using it
|
||||
in your code with no change in behavior. (#1278)

a reference to the DC, to ensure that the DCOverlay is destroyed first.

* Add some missing methods in wx.adv.BitmapComboBox (#1307)
|
||||
|
||||
* Added the wx.svg package which contains code for parsing SVG (Scalable Vector
|
||||
Graphics) files, and also code for integrating with wxPython. It can rasterize
|
||||
the SVG to a wx.Bitmap of any size with no loss of quality, and it can also

render the SVG directly to a wx.GraphicsContext using the GC's drawing
|

primitives. (PR #1323)

|
||||
maintaining its own pointer. This way, if the wxApp is created by C++ code
|
||||
wxPython will still be able to get access to it. (#1126)

|

* Added wx.adv.GenericAnimationCtrl so the generic version of the animation classes
|
||||
can be used even on the platforms that have a native version. Note that due to
|
||||
internal changes to support both types of animations, some API changes in how
|
||||
the Animation objects are created. See the AnimationCtrl.py sample in the demo
|
||||
for the various usage patterns (#1579)

|

* Added wrappers for the wx.grid.GridBlockCoords, wx.grid.GridBlocks,
|
||||
and wx.grid.GridBlockDiffResult classes, as well as associated new
|
||||
methods in the wx.grid.Grid class. These provide a new way to
|
||||
interact with blocks of selected cells, including an iterator
|
||||
interface in wx.grid.GridBlocks which should be a more efficient
|
||||
(time and memory) way to process large groups of selections.
