Announcing
----------

wxPython 2.9.5.0 (classic) has been released and is now available for

enhancements and additions, and lots of bugs fixed.  More details are
below.

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.
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.


Changes in 2.9.5.0
------------------

wx.media.MediaCtrl on OSX-cocoa now has a functioning back-end using
the QTKit framework, so it works when running in either 32-bit or
64-bit mode.

Printing triggered from a Javascript window.print() statement will now
work on OSX when using the old wx.webkit or the new wx.html2 browser
controls.

Updated Scintilla code to verison 3.21

Lots of fixes and improvements in the wxWidgets code.

Changed the wx.DateTime.Parse* methods to work like they did in
wxPython 2.8, they now return an integer indicating how far in to
the string that the parser parsed, or -1 on error.

Updated wx.lib.pdfviewer with patches from David Hughes.
