ANNOUNCE: wxPython 2.9.3.0 (classic)

Hi,

Thanks for the 2.9.3.0 release. I downloaded
wxPython2.9-osx-docs-demos-2.9.3.0-cocoa-py2.7.dmg, and its "Docs"
folder contains a "wx" subfolder, but no "wxDocsViewer" app (as
suggested in the "README 1st.txt" file). I can drag and drop
"wx/index.html" into Safari and get something useful, but not all of
the functionality is there, e.g. instead of a search box I just see
the string "$searchbox". Will you add the wxDocsViewer soon?

Regards,

    Harold Mills

As you've discovered there is now a new release with a better rendering of the C++ docs (an older version of doxygen was being used on the build machine and it left out some files.)

The wxDocsViewer will be a tougher nut to crack however. It is using HtmlWindow which has almost no CSS support and no JavaScript, but the new version of the docs have lots of CSS and some JavaScript too, so it is not able to display them in a usable format. If/when somebody makes a version of the HtmlHelpController that uses the new WebView classes instead of HtmlWindow then it will be possible to enable bundling that application again.
