Hi Robin,

Sorry to bug you with this, I wonder when you think that the next stable build will be ready.

See you

I'd like to do it soon, maybe by this weekend. I had planned on doing it sooner but we've been dealing with some folks raising copyright issues for some bits of code and for the cursors, icons and bitmaps, and so I've been doing a bunch of tedious work to replace images used in the demo and tools.

I just removed a bunch of the files that are for the typical toolbar icons and changed the code to use the wx.ArtProvider instead. But then I discovered that there are a bunch of art IDs that don't have images yet, except for on wxGTK where it just dynamically loads images from the current gnome iconset. So anyway, now I need to wait for some images that Julian is having professionally done to go into those slots in the ArtProvider.

I've just checked in some ugly placeholder icons for those that are missing, and so I'll probably do another preview build tonight so the other changes can be tested. Just ignore the ugly icons for now.

We still havn't gotten the new art yet, but I decided to go ahead with RC1. It is in the process of uploading right now. I cleaned up the placeholders a bit so they look a little nicer, and will be okay for the short term.

It sounds like wxWidgets 2.6.1 may happen fairly soon too, so we may have a fairly quick turn-around on the next wxPython release after this one.

FYI, Just tried it out and I did not find any problems with my app, it works as expected on Win XP, 2000 and Win 98 and I did not see problems with Boa nor in the wxPython Demo.

Once again thanks for the great job you are doing on all this.

See you
Werner
