20050226 test build uploaded

Hello

I don't know if this is normal or intentional, but this snapshot doesn't
compile against wxGTK development snapshot 2.5.4. When I try to compile
wxPython, compilation fails with this output:

that it is due to this difference between system wxGTK (2.5.4) and copy
of wxGTK included in 20050226 test sources:

Searching again I noticed that in wxPython there is this version:

#define wxMAJOR_VERSION 2
#define wxMINOR_VERSION 5
#define wxRELEASE_NUMBER 4
#define wxSUBRELEASE_NUMBER 1
#define wxVERSION_STRING _T("wxWidgets 2.5.4")

while released wxGTK 2.5.4 are

#define wxMAJOR_VERSION 2
#define wxMINOR_VERSION 5
#define wxRELEASE_NUMBER 4
#define wxSUBRELEASE_NUMBER 0
#define wxVERSION_STRING _T("wxWidgets 2.5.4")

For what I remember I compiled wxPython 2.5.3.1 and 2.4.2.* against my
system wxGTK without any problem.

Thank you in advance.

Correct. The test build was made with CVS as of that day or the day before. On the stable series it's easy to keep things compatible since the API is not supposed to be changing, but with the unstable series it takes more work since the API is allowed to change. Since there were some annoying bugs in the released wxWidgets 2.5.4 I decided to not go to the extra effort this time.

#define wxMAJOR_VERSION 2

See this page for a discussion of what the components of the release number mean. It will probably help you understand what is going on:

I managed to not make or make use of any API incompatible changes in 2.5.3.1 but it did have newer wxWidgets sources underneath with some bug fixes.
