Announcing

···

----------

The 2.7.1.2 release of wxPython is now available for download at
http://wxpython.org/download.php. This release is a quick-turnaround
bugfix release designed to solve some problems found in the 2.7.1.1
release. Source and binaries are available for both Python 2.4 and 2.5
for Windows and Mac, as well some pacakges for varous Linux
distributions. A summary of changes is listed below and also at
http://wxpython.org/recentchanges.php.

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 GTK2, and Mac OS X 10.3+, in most
cases the native widgets are used on each platform.

Changes in 2.7.1.2
------------------

Fixed a bug in the MaskedEdit controls caused by conflicting IsEmpty
methods.

Patch #1579280: Some mimetype optimizations on unix-like systems.

wxMac: Several wx.webkit.WebKitCtrl enhancements/fixes, including:

     - new methods for increasing/decreasing text size, getting
       selection, getting/setting scroll position, printing, enabling
       editing, and running JavaScripts on the page.

     - added new event (wx.webkit.WebKitBeforeLoadEvent) for catching, and
       possibly vetoing, load events before they occur.

     - wx.webkit.WebKitCtrl now fires mouse events for certain events
       that it was eating before. This improves wxSplitterWindow
       resizing behavior.

     - refactoring of the sizing logic to move the Cocoa view. Tested
       with splitter windows, panels, notebooks and all position
       correctly with this.

Some improvements to the drawing code in CustomTreeCtrl.

Fixed refcount leak in wx.Window.GetChildren.

There's still a bug showing up in demo-doc.
XP platform.

go to core windows/controls -> gauge.
click on demo tab.
click on combo box
then go back to gauge.

Before I was saying the problem was with grid... I
think it has more to do with gauge.

the demo crashes away with the same kind of error that
I listed before.

It's a problem with the Gauge demo. The timer is not stopped when the sample is changed, so it can try to send an event to a window that no longer exists if it doesn't get deleted properly. Adding the following to the TestPanel class in Gauge.py should take care of it:

     def __del__(self):
         self.timer.Stop()

Thanks. Is it proper to crash or better to trap and
exit nicely ?

I didn't say it wasn't a bug, just that it's not a bug with wx.Gauge itself. I've got the demo fixed already for the next release.
