>> Announcing
>> ----------
>>
>> The 2.8.9.0 release of wxPython is now available for download at
>> http://wxpython.org/download.php.  This release adds support for using
>> Cairo for drawing on wx windows, adds a Win64 build, and various other
>> fixes and enhancements.
>>
>> Source code is available, as well as binaries for Python 2.3, 2.4 and
>> 2.5, for Windows and Mac, as well some packages for various Linux
>> distributions.  A summary of changes is listed below and also at
>> http://wxpython.org/recentchanges.php.

>> 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 Python extension module that wraps 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 2.8.9.0
>> ------------------
>>
>> Many minor bug fixes throughout wxWidgets and wxPython.
>>
>> Fixed wx.lib.embeddedimage to work with Python 2.3.
>>
>> Fixed PseudoDC hit testing when pure white or pure black are used.
>>
>> Added support for a 64-bit Windows build for the AMD64 architecture,
>> (a.k.a. x64.)  This is for Python 2.5 only and is available only as a
>> Unicode build.
>>
>> Added the wx.EmptyBitmapRGBA factory function.
>>
>> Added the wx.lib.wxcairo module which allows the pycairo package to be
>> used for drawing on wx window or memory DCs.  In addition it is able
>> to convert from a native wx.Font to a cairo.FontFace, and it also
>> provides functions for converting to/from wx.Bitmap and
>> cairo.ImageSurface objects.  In order to use this module you will need
>> to have the Cairo library and its dependencies installed, as well as
>> the pycairo Python package.  For Linux and other unix-like systems you
>> most likely have what you need installed already, or can easily do so
>> from your package manager application.  See the wx.lib.wxcairo
>> module's docstring for notes on where to get what you need for Windows
>> or Mac.  This module uses ctypes, and depending on platform it may
>> need to find and load additional dynamic libraries at runtime in
>> addition to cairo.  The pycairo package used needs to be new enough to
>> export the CAPI structure in the package namespace.  I believe that
>> started sometime in the 1.4.x release series.
>>
>> Added the wx.lib.graphics module, which is an implementation of the
>> wx.GraphicsContext API using Cairo (via wx.lib.wxcairo).  This allows
>> us to be totally consistent across platforms, and also use Cairo to
>> implement some things that are missing from the GraphicsContext API.
>> It's not 100% compatible with the GraphicsContext API, but probably
>> close enough to be able to share code between them if desired, plus it
>> can do a few things more.
>>
>> Updated wx.Bitmap.CopyFromBuffer to be a bit more flexible. You can
>> now specify the format of the buffer, and the CopyFromBufferRGBA is
>> now just a wrapper around CopyFromBuffer that specifies a different
>> format than the default.  Also added the complement method,
>> CopyToBuffer.  See the docstring for CopyFromBuffer for details on the
>> currently allowed buffer formats.  The existing wx.BitmapFromBuffer
>> factory functions are also now implemented using the same underlying
>> code as CopyFromBuffer.
>>
>> Add wx.lib.mixins.listctrl.ListRowHighlighter for automatic highlighting
>> of rows in a wx.ListCtrl.
