wxPython 2.4.1 release cantidate
Robin Dunn
I have some binaries available for testing just in time for the weekend,
available at http://alldunn.com/wxPython/preview/. I also put the
CHANGES.txt file is there too so you can get an idea of the new/changed
stuff in this release.
Please take a look at one or more of the installers and let me know if
there are any problems with the installers themselves, serious backwards
compatibility issues, missing files, or any other show-stoppers. Once
any of those are resolved we can discuss lower priority items here and
decide if a new set of builds are needed. (Oh, you should also let me
know if you have no problems too. <wink>) I'd like to get the official
release done and announced by the end of next week if possible.
In addition to the usual builds that I do I also put one set of
wxPythonGTK2 rpms there. This is a GTK 2.x and UNICODE build for Linux,
built on my Mandrake 9.1 system (the other RPMs are built on a RH 7.3
system.) There is still a potential fatal error with this port that
happens when changing fonts in controls that I havn't been able to track
down yet. See:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=735433&group_id=9863&atid=109863
Everything else that I've tested on this port works (and *looks*) great
though.
Speaking of testing, I've done almost none with these actual binaries
but I did quite a bit with prior iterations of the build process. Still
not complete testing though, that's where you guys come in. <wink!>
Thanks!

I did a quick runthrough with my app on OS X, and everything seems to
be in order. In fact, the whole buttons w/in sizers issues seems much
better now. =) I'll be traveling over the next week or so, but will
only have access to OS X during that time, so if I run across any
quirks in the OS X version in the demo, etc. I'll send another note.
Thanks,
Kevin

I installed 2.4.1.1 under Python 2.2 and Windows 2000 without any
problems. My own apps, which have been converted to use the new wx, appear
to run OK and a quick canter through the Demo threw up attribute errors
trying to start PyShell and PyCrust. wxPrintDialog didn't start up the
common dialog (although a call from my own app worked OK). I commented out
the lines: data.SetMinPage(1) and data.SetMaxPage(5) and the demo was OK
again !!? Oh, and the first pop up window in wxPopupWindow couldn't be
either moved or closed.
As I'm just starting to use a Mac, I also installed 2.4.1.1 under Python
2.3 on OS X without a hitch. PyShell and PyCrust raised the same errors,
as above, but wxPrintDialog ran OK.
Because I haven't used any previous Mac versions, I don't know what the
ongoing issues are, but wxSingleChoiceDialog caused the demo to hang
completely, wxMultipleChoiceDialog only showed a single choice at a time,
and the font size + border widths in the custom grid cell editors seemed
to be too big for the cell size available.

Oops, that was a dumb mistake on my part. Easy to fix though.

Weird. I'll look into this.

Hmmm... Looks like it has a problem with z-order.

Yep.

This one is known. It is showing the dialog but for some reason it is
*very* small.

This is a problem with the Layout in the Python code. I'll fix it.

Thanks.
