Announcing
----------

Release files for *both* wxPython 2.8.12.1 *and* 2.9.1.1 are now
available for download at http://wxpython.org/download.php.

The 2.8.12.1 release is a minor update from 2.8.12.0 which relaxes an
assertion in the Bind method which prevented the use of None as the
handler, (which can be used to remove an event binding).  Also
included are updates from contributed modules like AGW.

The 2.9.2.1 release adds some new features and lots of general
improvements and fixes for the development series of wxWidgets and
wxPython.  There have been a number of improvements in the wxOSX-Cocoa
port, making it much more usable and stable.  Please see the recent
changes document for more details.  http://wxpython.org/recentchanges.php

Various binaries are available for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, and also
for OSX using the Carbon and Cocoa APIs, for Python 2.6 and 2.7, and
source code is also available at http://wxpython.org/download.php of
course for building your own.


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 set of Python extension modules that wrap 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 and 64-bit Microsoft Windows,
most Linux or other Unix-like systems using GTK2, and Mac OS X 10.4+.
In most cases the native widgets are used on each platform to provide
a 100% native look and feel for the application.
