Announcing wxPython 4.1.1
|
||||
Announcing wxPython 4.2.0
|
||||
=========================
|
||||
|
||||
PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/wxPython/4.1.1
|
||||
PyPI: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/wxPython/4.2.0
|
||||
Extras: https://extras.wxPython.org/wxPython4/extras/
|
||||
Pip: ``pip install wxPython==4.1.1``
|
||||
Pip: ``pip install wxPython==4.2.0``
|
||||
|
||||
New and improved in this release:
|
||||
* Yes, it's been a VERY long time since the last release. I'm not
|
||||
dead, just on an extended break. It took me a while to get up to
|
||||
speed on a new day job, and then there was a seemingly perpetual
|
||||
crunch-mode to get the product through a couple release cycles. I
|
||||
can't say that things are fully back to normal yet, but at least I
|
||||
now know what I'm doing. Mostly. <wink>
|
||||
|
||||
* 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.
|
||||
* This release is built using the wxWidgets' 3.2.0 release tag.
|
||||
|
||||
* Fixed missing binder for wxEVT_STC_AUTOCOMP_SELECTION_CHANGE. (#1613)
|
||||
* Tweaked the build scripts a bit to ensure that on non-Windows
|
||||
platforms that the compiler and flags used by default match those
|
||||
used by wxWidgets, (with the flags needed by Python added on.) The
|
||||
compiler commands can be overridden by setting CC and CXX in the
|
||||
environment if needed. (#1247)
|
||||
|
||||
* 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)
|
||||
* On Windows the build code that locates and sets up the environment
|
||||
for the MSVC compiler no longer relies on distutils code, but is now
|
||||
using more modern code in setuptools instead. This enables much more
|
||||
compiler flexibility and wxPython should now be buildable with
|
||||
Visual Studio versions from 2015 through 2022+.
|
||||
|
||||
* Added flag that allows blocking of item dragging in the
|
||||
UltimateListControl class. (PR#1620)
|
||||
* Switched to SIP 6 for generating the wrapper code. Rather than a
|
||||
standalone executable, SIP is now a Python package that needs to be
|
||||
installed in the Python environment used for the build. A dependency
|
||||
has been added to requirements/devel.txt to help ensure that the
|
||||
correct version is installed. The wx.siplib module code is no
|
||||
longer kept in the repository, but is generated during the build.
|
||||
|
||||
* Add the column index to notification events in UltimateListControl
|
||||
(PR#1630)
|
||||
* Changed wx.App.InitLocale to just do
|
||||
`locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "C")` to undo what Python (3.8+ on
|
||||
Windows) does. This lets wxWidgets start with an uninitialized
|
||||
locale as it expects. (#1637)
|
||||
|
||||
* Added orientation parameter to UltimateListControl.GetScrollPos.
|
||||
(PR#1632)
|
||||
* Fixed issues related to `time_t` always being treated as a 32-bit
|
||||
value on Windows. (#1910)
|
||||
|
||||
* 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)
|
||||
* Added wx.FullScreenEvent and wx.EVT_FULLSCREEN.
|
||||
|
||||
* Fixed issue that could modify `bytes` objects under Python. (PR#1680)
|
||||
* The legacy, OSX-Only wx.webkit module has been removed.
|
||||
|
||||
* 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 building wxPython with Python 3.10 on Windows (#2016)
|
||||
|
||||
* 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.
|
||||
* Fix PyProgress on Windows by avoiding invalid sizer flags (#1985)
|
||||
|
||||
* Simplified the implementation of the wx.App.InitLocale method. See the
|
||||
MigrationGuide for more information.
|
||||
* Fix 'More Grid Features' in demo
|
||||
|
||||
* Added wx.lib.agw.aui.AUI_DOCKART_HINT_WINDOW_BORDER_COLOUR constant
|
||||
so the hint window border color can be themed as well.
|
||||
* Many of the widgets which deal with bitmaps have been changed to use
|
||||
a wx.BitmapBundle object instead of wx.Bitmap. This is the mechanism
|
||||
which wxWidgets has implemented for adapting to things like Hi-DPI
|
||||
displays. Essentially you can load a list of bitmaps of different
|
||||
sizes (but similar or scaled content) into a wx.BitmapBundle, and
|
||||
the widget can choose one based on the display density. Existing
|
||||
code should be able to continue to pass a wx.Bitmap to the widget
|
||||
constructor or to methods like SetBitmap, as wxPython will
|
||||
automatically convert from a wx.Bitmap to a wx.BitmapBundle
|
||||
containing the single image provided.
|
||||
|
||||
* 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.
|
||||
* Add support for new wx.grid event, EVT_GRID_ROW_MOVE
|
||||
|
||||
* 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.
|
||||
* Fix path issues in wx.lib.agw.multidirdialog (#2120)
|
||||
|
||||
* 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.
|
||||
* Fix eventwatcher checkAll(check=False) (#2139)
|
||||
|
||||
* Added the missing context manager methods for wx.LogNull. (#1842)
|
||||
* Fix exception on grid labels click in 4.1.1a (#1841)
|
||||
|
||||
* Refactored ScrolledThumbnail out of agw.ThumbnailCtrl so as to be
|
||||
usable outside of ThumbnailCtrl.
|
||||
* Fix a large number of Python 3.10 issues. In Python 3.10, a change
|
||||
was implemented where extension functions that take integer
|
||||
arguments will no longer silently accept non-integer arguments
|
||||
(e.g., floats) that can only be converted to integers with a loss of
|
||||
precision. Fixed most of these issues in the pure-Python classes
|
||||
and demos by explicitly converting the parameters to int before
|
||||
passing them to wxWidgets. There is loss of precision, but this was
|
||||
happening before (automatically) anyway as most wxWidgets
|
||||
DeviceContext functions operate using integers.
|
||||
|
||||
* Fix PlotCanvas point label drawing on Linux
|
||||
|
||||
* Fix GetPopupMenu override for wx.adv.TaskbarIcon (#2067)
|
||||
|
||||
* Fix invisible text in lib.plot with dark theme
|
||||
|
||||
* Add new button type: ShowHideToggleButton. Like a ToggleButton, but
|
||||
with an associated "menu", a Window or Sizer which is shown/hidden
|
||||
when button is toggled. Includes methods for setting active and
|
||||
inactive fore/background colours.
|
||||
|
||||
* Fix unbinding of events in FIFO order (#2027)
|
||||
|
||||
* Enable customization of layout of pdfviewer button panel
|
||||
|
||||
* Support newer PyMuPDF versions (#2205)
|
||||
|
||||
* IntCtrl: Change default colour to wx.NullColour so the default
|
||||
color will be used. (#2215)
|
||||
|
||||
* Change PopupControl to respect all the parameters passed to its
|
||||
init method (#2218)
|
||||
|
||||
* Fixes in flatmenu.py Remove and DestroyItem (#2219)
|
||||
|
||||
* Using the MinGW toolchain to build wxPython has been simplified
|
||||
a bit. (#2211)
