From 5375f3dacfc95a59c637cf42af97a2bd9e2f68ba Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robin Dunn Date: Fri, 20 Nov 2020 16:13:10 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Update ANNOUNCE.txt --- packaging/ANNOUNCE.txt | 140 +++++++++++++++++------------------------ 1 file changed, 59 insertions(+), 81 deletions(-) diff --git a/packaging/ANNOUNCE.txt b/packaging/ANNOUNCE.txt index 2ca25254..9a563b3a 100644 --- a/packaging/ANNOUNCE.txt +++ b/packaging/ANNOUNCE.txt @@ -9,109 +9,87 @@ -Announcing wxPython 4.1.0 +Announcing wxPython 4.1.1 ========================= -PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/wxPython/4.1.0 +PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/wxPython/4.1.1 Extras: https://extras.wxPython.org/wxPython4/extras/ -Pip: ``pip install wxPython==4.1.0`` - -Starting with this release wxPython has switched to tracking the -wxWidgets master branch (version 3.1.x) for the wxWidgets source code, -which wxPython is built upon, and which is included in the wxPython -source archives. - -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. - +Pip: ``pip install wxPython==4.1.1`` New and improved in this release: -* Add a sample for wx.Font.AddPrivateFont to the demo. +* This should have been mentioned in the notes for the last release, + but alas, it wandered away and got lost. wxWidgets is now validating + the flags passed when adding items to a sizer, to ensure that they + are the correct flags for the type of the sizer. If the given flags + do not make sense, for example using horizontal alignment flags in a + horizontal box sizer, then a wxAssertionError error is raised. -* Added wrappers for the OSXEnableAutomaticQuoteSubstitution, - OSXEnableAutomaticDashSubstitution, and - OSXDisableAllSmartSubstitutions methods in wx.TextCtrl. Also added - OSXEnableAutomaticTabbing in wx.App. +* Fixed missing binder for wxEVT_STC_AUTOCOMP_SELECTION_CHANGE. (#1613) -* Added wx.ColourDialogEvent, wx.DCTextBgColourChanger, - wx.DCTextBgModeChanger, wx.grid.GridCellDateRenderer, - wx.grid.GridCellDateEditor, wx.SystemAppearance, etc. +* DataViewModel.HasValue can be overridden and will inform the + DataViewCtrl whether or not an item and column has data. If HasValue + returns False, then GetValue for that item/col will not be called. + This allows a distinction between a truly empty cell, and one that + has a value even if it is an empty string. (#1600) -* 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. +* Added flag that allows blocking of item dragging in the + UltimateListControl class. (PR#1620) -* 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). +* Add the column index to notification events in UltimateListControl + (PR#1630) -* Switch to using a wx.Overlay in the Widget Inspection Tool to - highlight widgets when running on a GTK3 port. +* Added orientation parameter to UltimateListControl.GetScrollPos. + (PR#1632) -* Fixed issue in wx.lib.agw.customtreectrl where the label editor - could remain stuck forever (#1235). +* wx.lib.agw.aui.AuiNotebook RemovePage() now hides the removed page, + so it needs to be shown again if it is reused in another place. + (PR#1668) -* 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. +* Fixed issue that could modify `bytes` objects under Python. (PR#1680) -* 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) +* Added wx.lib.agw.aui.EVT_AUI_PANE_CLOSE event which is sent when a + AUI (the agw version) Pane has been closed (after it has been + closed, not when it is about to be closed, which is when + EVT_AUI_PANE_CLOSE is sent.) (PR#1628) -* Fix a sometimes crash when using a wx.Overlay by letting the - wx.DCOverlay hold a reference to the DC, to ensure that the - DCOverlay is destroyed first. (PR#1301) +* Exposed the wx.DC methods GetGraphicsContext and SetGraphicsContext. + Depending on the platform and the type of the DC, there may be a + wx.GraphicsContext used for the implementation of the DC. If so, the + GetGraphicsContext method enables access to it. Be sure to check + that the return value is not None before trying to use it. -* Replaced the Vagrant VMs used for building wxPython for various - Linux distros with Docker images. +* Simplified the implementation of the wx.App.InitLocale method. See the + MigrationGuide for more information. -* Add some missing methods in wx.adv.BitmapComboBox (#1307) +* Added wx.lib.agw.aui.AUI_DOCKART_HINT_WINDOW_BORDER_COLOUR constant + so the hint window border color can be themed as well. -* 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) +* The wx.lib.mixins.listCtrl.CheckListCtrlMixin is now obsolete + because wx.ListCtrl has new functionality which does pretty much the + same thing. In fact there is some overlap in method names which may + trip up some use cases. It is advised to drop the use of + CheckListCtrlMixin and just use the wx.ListBox functionality. You + will need to call EnableCheckBoxes to turn it on, and you may need + to change some event handlers or overloaded methods. -* Ported the embedding sample from Classic, which shows how to use - wxPython from a C++ wxWidgets application that embeds Python. (PR - #1353) +* wx.html2.WebView is now able to use Microsoft's Edge browser + component as its backend renderer. This should improve the + capabilities of the WebView widget on Windows, and be more + consistent with the WebViews on the other platforms, compared to the + original IE 11 backend. Using this backed requires that a new-ish + version of the Edge browser is installed on the end user's computer. -* Fixed wx.GetApp() to use wxWidgets' global wxApp instance instead of - 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 the wx.Image.ConvertToRegion method. This lets you create a + wx.Region from an image and a specified color or the mask if the + image has one. This was done to workaround a bug in wxMac, but it + seems worthwhile enough to keep it around even after the bug was + fixed. -* Added wrappers for the wx.ActivityIndicator class. +* Added the missing context manager methods for wx.LogNull. (#1842) -* Added wrappers for the wx.CollapsibleHeaderCtrl class. - -* Fixed issues in PlotCanvas around displaying and using - scrollbars. (#1428) - -* Added wx.msw.CHMHelpController, and also a wx.HelpController factory - function that creates an instance of the best Help Controller for - the platform. (#1536) - -* 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. +* Refactored ScrolledThumbnail out of agw.ThumbnailCtrl so as to be + usable outside of ThumbnailCtrl.
