Announcing ---------- The 2.6.1.0 release of wxPython is now available for download at http://wxpython.org/download.php. Anybody keeping track will probably notice that the prior release (2.6.0.1) was released just about a week ago. This short turn-around time is because I was slow getting the last release done, and the wxWidgets team was uncharacteristically early with the 2.6.1 release! This release consists of a few bug fixes made since 2.6.0.1.
What is wxPython? ----------------- wxPython is a GUI toolkit for the Python programming language. It allows Python programmers to create programs with a robust, highly functional graphical user interface, simply and easily. It is implemented as a Python extension module that wraps the GUI components of the popular wxWidgets cross platform library, which is written in C++. wxPython is a cross-platform toolkit. This means that the same program will usually run on multiple platforms without modifications. Currently supported platforms are 32-bit Microsoft Windows, most Linux or other Unix-like systems using GTK or GTK2, and Mac OS X. Changes in 2.6.1.0 ------------------ wx.ListCtrl: patch #1210352, fixes editing in generic wx.ListCtrl with wx.LC_EDIT_LABELS. Applied patch #208286, MediaCtrl DirectShow rewrite. DocView patches from Morgan Hua: bug fixes, and additional SVN commands, also added a default template that uses the text editor for any unknown file type. wxMSW: Use the system IDC_HAND cursor for wx.CURSOR_HAND and only fallback to the strange wxWidgets version if the system one is not available. wx.grid.Grid: Merge the cell size attribute the same way that other attributes are merged, e.g., if it is already set to a non-default value in the current GridCellAttr object then don't merge from the other. wx.lib.evtmgr: Fixed to use wx._core._wxPyDeadObject wx.lib.gridmovers: Don't scroll when the mouse is dragged outside of the grid, unless the mouse is kept in motion. wxMSW: Applied patch #1213290 incorrect logic in wx.TopLevelWindow.ShowFullScreen. Applied patch #1213066 correct device names for Joystick in Linux. wxGTK: Applied patch #1207162 wx.TextCtrl.SetStyle fix for overlapping calls. wx.FileConfig: fixed DeleteEntry to set the dirty flag properly so the change will get written at the next flush. -- Robin Dunn Software Craftsman http://wxPython.org Java give you jitters?
