("And the +crowd goes wild!") Don't let the fact that it is marked as an "alpha" release +scare you away. It is an alpha simply because this is the **first** in several +ways: + + * It's the first real release of Phoenix, which is built on a different + foundation than Classic wxPython was. + + * It's the first wxPython release intended to be available from PyPI and + buildable/installable by pip. + + * It's the first release for Python 3. + + * And there are still a few things that are not finished or polished yet. + +But even with all that, many people have been using the pre-release snapshots +of Phoenix for quite a while now, and it has been relatively stable and solid +for them. + +Due to some things being cleaned up, reorganized, simplified and dehackified +wxPython Phoenix is not completely backwards compatible with wxPython Classic. +This is as intended. In general, however, the API differences tend to be minor +and some applications can use Phoenix with slight, or even no modifications. +In some other cases the correct way to do things was also available in Classic +and it's only the wrong way that has been removed from Phoenix. For more +information there is a Migration Guide document available at: +https://wxpython.org/Phoenix/docs/html/MigrationGuide.html + +The new wxPython API reference documentation, including all Python-specific +additions and customizations, and docs for the wx.lib package, is located at: +https://wxpython.org/Phoenix/docs/html/main.html + + + + 3.0.2.0 ------- * 28-Nov-2014
