  • Many improvements to the generated type stubs (.pyi files), including checking the handlers given to Bind, enums as classes, char* constants typed as bytes, operator method parameters made positional-only, a type stub for wx.lib.newevent, and adding missing protected virtual methods and SIP-only classes such as wx.Config (#2559, #2733, #2775, #2793, #2801, #2810, #2873, #2932, #2933, #2956, #2957, #2970, #2974, #2975, #2976)
