Announcing wxPython 4.0.3
Announcing wxPython 4.0.4
=========================
PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/wxPython/4.0.3
PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/wxPython/4.0.4
Extras: https://extras.wxPython.org/wxPython4/extras/
Pip: ``pip install wxPython==4.0.3``
Pip: ``pip install wxPython==4.0.4``
Changes in this release include the following:
* Fixed a linking problem on macOS. The new waf added an explicit link
to the Python shared library which meant that it would try to load
it at runtime, even if a different Python (such as Anaconda, EDM or
Homebrew) was used to import wxPython. This, of course, caused
runtime errors. (#892)
* Fixed an issue where wx.lib.intctrl would erroneously attempt to use
``long`` on Python3. (#898)
* Sort pages by dock_pos when added to automatic (agw.aui)
notebook. (#882)
* Include the MSVC runtime DLLs for Python 3.7 builds too.
* Fix a bug in py.introspect.getTokens. (#889)
* Clear LIBPATH_PYEXT and LIB_PYEXT for linux builds too. (#904)
* Added Vagrant configuration for Fedora-28. Removed Fedora-23 (#884)
* Added a dependency on the Pillow package since it's used in some
wx.lib.agw modules. (PR #908)
* Added wrappers for the wx.WindowIDRef class and added the
wx.NewIdRef function. These will make it possible to create reserved
Window IDs using the same mechanism which is used when passing
wx.ID_ANY to a widget constructor. The object returned by
wx.NewIdRef will automatically convert to an int when passing it to
a window constructor, and can also be used as the source in a
Bind(). (#896)
* Add flag to hide page in wx.lib.agw.aui.notebook. (#895)
* Switch wx.lib.plot to issue deprecation warnings with
PlotPendingDeprecation so it doesn't have to enable all warnings to
get them to be shown by default. (#902)
* Added a Python 3.7 builder on Fedora 28. (#925)
* Fix the object ownership transfer for wx.Menu.Insert() (#931)
* Added wx.Treebook.GetTreeCtrl, wx.Listbook.GetListView and
wx.Choicebook.GetChoiceCtrl. (#918)
* Removed the wx.BookCtrlBase.RemovePage workaround as it was causing
problems and doesn't seem to be necessary any more. The existing
wxWidgets assertions are catching the out of range error just fine,
however if wxWidgets was built without the debug helpers turned on
then it could still cause a crash. (#888)
* Reverted the changes which removed the content of the wx.lib.pubsub
package and encouraged users to switch to the real PyPubSub package
instead. Removing it caused more issues than were expected so it has
been restored and the code updated to PyPubSub v3.3.0. Version 4.0.0
is available upstream, but it is not compatible with Python
2.7. Now, wx.lib.pubsub is actually deprecated instead of just
trying to pass control over to the upstream PyPubSub library. (#932)
* Improve calltip stability in pyshell. (#941)
* Fix TypeError in wx.lib.throbber. (#924)
* Fix missing parameter tool_id in
wx.lib.agw.ribbon.toolbar.RibbonToolBar.AddToggleTool. (#947)
* Add a step to wx.Config.ReadInt to attempt converting from long to
int under python2. (#384)
* Add virtual behavior for wx.RichTextCtrl and wx.TextCtrl's
Copy/Cut/Paste methods and their Can* counterparts. (#954)
* Fix IO type in wx.lib.agw.thumbnailctrl (#959)
* Fix type error that would occur using pycolourchooser. (#957)
* Optimize line drawing in HyperTreeList. (#973)
* Add wrapper for wx.StaticBox.GetBordersForSizer and use it in the
demo to do platform-specific layout of the items in the
StaticBox. (#974)
* Update wx.Point, wx.RealPoint, and wx.Size to use floating point
arithmetic when conducting scalar multiplication (#971)
* Fix load/save bugs in PySlices (PR#978)
* Replace deprecated PIL.Image.tostring (PR#1005)
* Fix rendering and mouse sensitivity in UltimateListCtrl when adding
HyperText items. (#1010)
* Added a parameter to lib.agw.CustomTreeCtrl.SetItemWindow(), to
allow positioning the Window (a small image) on the left of text in
a CustomTreeItem. (#PR886).
* Declared DeleteAllPages in the notebook subclasses, so the proper
C++ implementation will be called. (#972)
* Removed wx.lib.floatbar, which has been deprecated forever and
probably hasn't been working in nearly as long. (#976)
* Updated SIP to version 4.19.13.
* Fix an issue in wx.lib.agw.aui.AuiManager where the orientation of
an AuiToolBar would not be updated when calling
LoadPerspective. (#917)
* Fixed a bug in wx.FileSystemHandler.OpenFile where the object
ownership was not being transferred correctly, causing a crash after
a premature object deletion. (#926)
* Fixed wx.ListCtrl.Append when wx.LC_SORT style is used, so appending
items out of order does not lose the data for the remaining
columns. (#906)
* Add wx.Accessible, it's Windows-only, will raise a
NotImplementedError exception on the other platforms. (#958)
* Added the ability to generate stub classes for use when optional
wxWidgets features are not part of the build. So far, stubs are
available for wx.Accessible, wx.glcanvas, wx.media and wx.html2.
* Moved the wxpy_api.h file into the wx package at wx/include/wxPython
so it will be included in the wheel file. (#961)
* Fixed how string data is added to a virtual file-like object in
wx.MemoryFSHandler. All strings are now added to the file as utf-8
encoded data, in both Python2 and Python3, and will be read from the
virtual file the same way. If you need to use some other encoding
for some reason you can first convert the text to a bytesarray or
other buffer protocol compatible object and then create the virtual
file from that data. (#969)
* Performance update for `wx.lib.agw.customtreectrl` (#1049)
* Ensure that colours set in wx.lib.agw.customtreectrl.TreeItemAttr
are instances of wx.Colour. (#1032)
* Fix drawing of ticks in wx.lib.agw.speedmeter when there are
negative bounds values. (#1013)
* wxWidgets for Mac includes the wxJoystick class now, also update the
demo. (#997)
* Fix wx.html.HtmlPrintout to not be seen as an abstract class, so it
can be instantiated. (#1060)
* Fix wx.aui.AuiNotbook.SetArtProvider to properly transfer ownership
of the art object from Python to C++. This possible double-deletion
and related crashing problems. (#1061)
* Fixed the wrappers for wx.html.HtmlWindow.OnOpeningURL to properly
handle the redirect output parameter. (#1068) This is a
backwards-incompatible change, please see the Migration Guide for
details.
* TabNavigatorWindow works similarly to other programs now. It's
resizable and draggable so if user has tons of files with long names,
it isn't an irritation anymore plastered right in the middle of the
screen and can't be worked with easily and ESC now cancels the popup
with a proper returnId. (#1096)
* Added missing methods in wx.ListBox, SetItemForegroundColour,
SetItemBackgroundColour and SetItemFont. (#1095)
* Backported a fix in wxWidgets that avoids crashing in hhctrl.ocx
when using context sensitive help in 64-bit builds on
Windows. (#1104)
* Fixed issue when sys.prefix is not unicode (Python2) and when its
contents are not translatable to utf-8.
