1999-04-22  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>

	* NEWS: added a summary of the new features.

	* pygtk.spec: upped version number.

	* configure.in: upped version number to 0.6.0.  I think thread support
	is a big enough feature to bump it up to 0.6.

1999-04-21  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>

	* gtk.py (create_bitmap_from_data): added new wrapper.

	* gtkmodule.c: added gdk_bitmap_create_from_data function.  Also
	export PyGtk_BlockThreads and PyGtk_UnblockThreads through the
	_private dictionary, so they can be used from within other modules
	(gnome-python in particular).

1999-04-20  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>

	* pygtk.spec: updated package version number.

	* configure.in: added a check for the python thread module.  If it
	is found, then also link _gtkmodule to the gthread library.
	Incremented minimum GTK version to 1.2.1.
	Incremented version to 0.5.13.

	* gtkmodule.c: call g_thread_init if python was built with thread
	support.  This is required to turn thread support on inside gdk/gtk.

	* gtk.py: added new functions.
	(GtkList.insert_items): this function wasn't looking at the internal
	GtkObject for the children to insert, so would fail.

	* generate/gtkbase.defs (gtk_widget_accelerators_locked): new func.

	* generate/gtkmenus.defs (gtk_item_factory_add_foreign): new func.
	(gtk_menu_get_accel_group): new func.
	(gtk_menu_reorder_child): new func.
	(gtk_menu_shell_deselect): new func.

	* gtkmodule.c (_wrap_gtk_combo_set_popdown_strings): accept any
	sequence for the second argument, rather than just lists.
	(_wrap_gtk_init): check the return value, and throw an exception
	when a connection to the X server could not be made, rather than
	exiting.

	* gtk.py: got rid of some warnings when pygtk is imported when
	DISPLAY is not set.  Not completely necessary, but it doesn't hurt.
	(GtkObject.remove_data) fixed small bug pointed out by Duncan Grisby.

1999-04-08  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>

	* gtk.py (threads_enter,threads_leave): export these two new functions.

	* gtkmodule.c: applied a modified version of Duncan Grisby's threading
	patch.  The changes were mainly inlining some of the code with macros
	and making it so that the extra code was not added unless python
	was compiled with thread support.  Also added wrappers for
	gdk_thread_enter and gdk_thread_leave.

	* gtk.py (GtkList.{,un}select_item): fixed small bug reported by
	Ben Darnell.

	* gtkmodule.c: fixed some small bugs in gtk_ctree stuff.  Thanks go
	to Chi-Deok Hwang.  Also fixed the bug in gtk_clist where I copy
	and pasted from.

	* gtk.py (GtkNotebook.set_tab_label_text): Small typo.  Fix from
	Toby D. Reeves.

1999-03-13  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>

	* examples/testgtk/testgtk.py: Applied some fixes from Chi-Deok Hwang
	to this example.  Mainly clean ups needed because of me not changing
	testgtk with the rest of pygtk.

1999-03-12  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>

	* configure.in, pygtk.spec: increased version number to 0.5.12.
	
	* gtkmodule.c: added optional support for not catching exceptions in
	callbacks.  This way it should be a lot easier to debug a pygtk
	program with pdb.
	
	* gtkmodule.c, gtk.py: a few fixes for problems sent in by
	Chi-Deok Hwang.  This includes a fix to GtkWidget.event(),
	assignments to GtkStyle attributes throwing exceptions,
	font loading getting reference counting correct and throwing
	exceptions for bad font names and allowing None to be passed
	as a colour to GnomeCanvasItem.set() (the fix is in pygtk).

	* generate/gtklists.defs (gtk_ctree_new): I had missed this
	function in previous releases.

1999-02-24  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>

	* gtk.py: made changes to match those in the defs files and _gtk.

	* description.py (GdkGC.set_dashes): describe new GdkGC method.

	* generate/gtkcontainers.defs: removed gtk_window_set{focus,default},
	since these are internal to GtkWindow.  Also added
	gtk_handle_box_set_handle_position and gtk_handle_box_set_snap_edge.

	* gtkmodule.c: added gtk_widget_get_child_requisition.
	(PyGdkGC_GetAttr): added method GdkGC.set_dashes to set the dash
	pattern for this GC.

1999-02-23  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>

	* pyglade/build.py: added some code to get the option menu creation
	code working.

	* pyglade/xmlparse.py: check if xmllib is included in the standard
	python library, use it for the XML parser -- it is much more complete,
	and doesn't barf on some valid XML files like the old one does.  If
	xmllib is not found, the old parser is used.

	* README, Makefile.am, pygtk.spec: added references to the MAPPING
	file.

	* MAPPING: new file describing the mapping of GTK+ onto python as
	pygtk does it.

1999-02-22  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>

	* description.py (GdkCursor): added information about this type.

	* gtk.py: commented out the __getattr__, __setattr__ and __delattr__
	methods of GtkObject.  There were too many things that broke because
	of these changes.  If I can get these to work correctly in the
	future, I will consider re-enabling it, but not till then.
	
	* examples/testgtk/testgtk.py (create_cursor_test): added a cursor
	test to the python testgtk.  It is adapted from the translation sent
	in by Osamu Tanimoto.

	* gtkmodule.c: fixed a bit of bad copy'n'paste in the GC part of the
	style wrapper code.  Thanks go to Osamu Tanimoto <tanimoto@rios.co.jp>.
	(PyGdkCursor_GetAttr): now GdkCursor objects have a type attribute
	that returns the type number for the object, and a name attribute
	that gives a string representation of that type number.

1999-02-20  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>

	* gtk.py (GtkTooltips.set_tip): made tip_private argument optional.
	(GtkObject.__[gs]etattr__, GtkObject.__delattr__): added some more
	fixes to this code so that it shouldn't throw exceptions as much
	when it shouldn't.

	* gtkmodule.c: PyGdkEvent_New wasn't interpreting GDK_BUTTON_RELEASE
	events correctly.  Also some fix ups for gtk_menu_popup.

	* generate/gtkcontainers.defs (gtk_container_set_focus_child): allow
	null child argument.

1999-02-19  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>

	* gtk.py: added __getattr__ and __setattr__ methods to GtkObject so
	that you can set data on a GtkObject directly in a persistent way
	(reference counting problems prevent pygtk from always passing the
	same python object to a callback).  These functions ignore attributes
	starting with an underscore.
	Also modified all the other __getattr__ methods to call their
	parent class's __getattr__ method when they fail instead of
	raising an exception.
	
	* gtk.py: some changes to make use of the new null-ok flags.
	
	* generate/*.defs: added some null-ok tags where appropriate.
	
	* gtkmodule.c: removed gtk_frame_new, as the null-ok change in
	generate.py makes it unnecessary.  Also gtk_spin_button_new_no_adj
	has been removed because it is no longer necessary.
	
	* generate/generate.py (FunctionDefsParser.define_func): altered the
	code generation routines so that they recognise the (null-ok) tag in
	the .defs file.  This should give a lot more flexibility to the
	generator, and allow me to move some of the special case code in
	gtkmodule.c back to the .defs files.  The null-ok tag is currently
	only recognised for string, object and boxed type arguments.

	* gtkmodule.c: fixes to the gtk_window_set_geometry_hints function to
	throw an exception for bad aspect values.  Also let it understand
	integers for aspect values.
	Also fixed up gtk_menu_popup so that you could give None for a few
	more arguments.

1999-02-16  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>

	* description.py: added documentation about GtkStyle changes to this
	pseudo module.

	* gtkmodule.c: added a new python type GtkStyleHelper that is used
	by python GtkStyle objects as a sequence type that alows us to write
	back to the arrays in the GtkStyle object.  I have also made it
	possible to update the font and (black|white){,_gc}.  I also added
	a GtkStyle.copy() method.  This gives the user everything they need
	to alter styles inside their applications.  I still believe that
	rc files are better, but there seem to be a lot of people who want
	this functionality.
	
	* gtkmodule.c (_wrap_gtk_window_set_geometry_hints): made changes so
	apect ratios can be set to integers.  Also made it throw an exception
	for aspect ratios of zero, since this caused my X server to crash
	a few times.

1999-02-15  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>

	* gtk.py (GtkPaned.set_position): added function.

	* generate/gtkcontainers.defs (gtk_paned_set_position): added new
	function

1999-02-14  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>

	* gtk.py: added GtkWindow.set_geometry_hints to match below addition.
	
	* gtkmodule.c: added gtk_window_set_geometry_hints.

1999-02-08  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>

	* description.py (GdkWindow.depth): documented presence of this
	attribute.

	* gtk.py (GtkFileSelection.complete): I had left out the argument in
	this prototype.  Fixed now.

1999-02-04  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>

	* gtk.py (create_pixmap_from_xpm,create_pixmap_from_xpm_d): altered
	these functions to use the gdk_pixmap_colormap_create variants if
	the first argument is a GtkWidget or GtkStyle.  This means you
	don't have to realise the widget before creating pixmaps from it.
	(GtkCheckMenuItem.set_state, GtkToggleButton.set_state): removed
	these compatibility routines so they don't mask GtkWidget.set_state.

	* gtkmodule.c: moved gtk_item_factory_get_widget here so I can catch
	NULL returns and convert them to None returns.  Also added the
	depth attribute to GdkWindow objects.
	Also added gdk_pixmap_colormap_create_* variants.  These can be used
	if you only have a colormap reference, rather than a window.

	* GtkExtra.py: there were a couple of calls to
	GtkContainer.border_width which is deprecated.

	* examples/testgtk/testgtk.py: fixes to dnd code in this example.  I
	hadn't looked at it since Owen made the dnd changes.

	* examples/simple/tooltip2.py: fixed small bug pointed out by Markus
	Oberhumer.

	* pyglade/build.py (clist_new): fixes to make it parse after clist
	changes.

1999-02-02  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>

	* generate/gtklists.defs, gtk.py: added GtkCList.focus_row.
	
	* _gdkimlibmodule.c, GdkImlib.py: added push_visual and pop_visual,
	that can be used to easily set GTK to use the imlib visual/colormap
	combination.

	* gtkmodule.c: the PyObject -> GtkArg conversion routines were not
	catching some exceptions that they generated.  This would cause
	wierd problems if you passed the wrong argument types to signal
	handlers.  This was found by Chi-Deok Hwang <cdhwang@sr.hei.co.kr>

	* examples/simple/dnd.py, examples/simple/dndpixmaps.py: and example
	of drag and drop contributed by Chi-Deok Hwang <cdhwang@sr.hei.co.kr>
	
	* gtkmodule.c: added gtk_ctree_get_selection, that returns nodes
	rather than pointers.

	* gtk.py: made changes to reflect those below.  Also added
	GtkWidget.get_colormap() (it was missing previously).

	* generate/gtkedit.defs (gtk_spin_button_update): added function.

	* generate/gtkmenus.defs (gtk_check_menu_item_set_active): function
	renaming.
	(gtk_menu_set_title): added function.

	* generate/gtkmisc.defs (gtk_toggle_button_[sg]et_active): added
	functions, and removed gtk_toggle_button_set_state.

1999-01-27  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>

	* gtkmodule.c: fixed some typos in _wrap_gtk_ctree_get_row_data and
	_wrap_gtk_ctree_base_nodes.  This fix was sent to me by Jim
	Robinson <robinson@ipsg.mot.com>.

1999-01-26  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>

	* gtk.py: fixed typo in GtkProgress.configure.

1999-01-22  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>

	* gdkimlibmodule.c: (_wrap_gdk_imlib_create_image_from_data): function
	would raise an exception if there was a null in the data or alpha
	arguments.  Also added some sanity checks on the lengths of data
	and alpha.  This patch was submitted by Toby D. Reeves.

1999-01-21  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>

	* examples/testgtk/testgtk.py (create_scrolled_windows): changed
	a call to GtkContainer.add to GtkScrolledWindow.add_with_viewport.

	* gtk.py (GtkPacker.add): Added defaults for the arguments.

1999-01-11  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>

	* gtk.py (GtkProgress.get_current_percentage): fixed function call

	* gtk.py (GtkScrolledWindow): changed so it inherits from GtkBin
	instead of GtkContainer, to match changes in GTK.

	* GDK.py (DRAG_PROTO_ROOTWIN): Added the constant.

	* gtkmodule.c: forgot to include GTK_TYPE_DOUBLE in one of the GtkArg
	processing routines.  Also fixed a problem for events with a NULL
	window.

1998-12-24  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>

	* gdkimlibmodule.c(_wrap_gdk_imlib_get_rgb_height): I accidentally
	returned rgb_width instead of rgb_height.  This bug report was from
	Osamu Tanimoto <tanimoto@rios.co.jp>.

1998-12-22  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>

	* GtkExtra.py: modified the signal connect bit in the MenuFactory
	code so it is a bit more sane.

1998-12-21  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>

	* pygtk.spec: updated version here as well.

	* README: updated required GTK version to 1.1.9

	* configure.in: Updated version for pygtk to 0.5.9, increased
	GTK version check to 1.1.9.

1998-12-20  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>

	* gtkmodule.c, generate/gtkmisc.defs: moved gtk_preview_draw_row here
	because python's string conversion routines do not like nuls in a
	string, but you quite often want them in image data.

1998-12-17  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>

	* examples/*/*.py: changed calls to GtkLabel.set to GtkLabel.set_text.
	
	* gtk.py: made changes to reflect those below.

	* generate/gtkbase.defs (gtk_widget_set_app_paintable): added this
	stub.

	* generate/gtkmisc.defs (gtk_label_set_text): renamed gtk_label_set to
	this, added gtk_label_set_line_wrap.

	* generate/gtkdnd.defs: Added gtk_drag_source_unset.

	* generate/gtklists.defs: moved reordering function stubs from ctree
	to clist.

	* generate/gtkcontainers.defs: removed GtkDrawWindow.  Added
	gtk_paned_pack[12]

	* GtkExtra.py (MenuFactory.create): wasn't passing extra arguments
	onto signal connect.  Bug fix from Sam Tannous <stannous@cisco.com>

	* gtkmodule.c: Applied some fixes to the ctree code from
	A.Hartgers@phys.tue.nl

1998-12-09  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>

	* gtk.py, generate/gtkmisc.defs, GTK.py: Added
	gtk_toolbar_set_space_style and the required enum.

1998-12-08  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>

	* gtkmodule.c: fixed up the toolbar functions, so they also use
	gtk_signal_connect_full, and now return the added child, like
	the C functions do.

	* examples/testgtk/testgtk.py: fixed up some stuff in the main
	function and clist test.

	* gtk.py, generate/gtkcontainers.defs: added
	gtk_window_set_transient_for and gtk_window_set_default_size.

	* gtkmodule.c: Changed to use _full functions instead of _interp
	functions.  Also made gtk_signal_connect and friends use the
	gtk_signal_connect_full function rather than the default marshaller
	method.

1998-12-07  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>

	* generate/gtkcontainers.defs (gtk_viewport_new): Accept NULL
	arguments for adjustments of a viewport.  This is the correct
	fix for Michael's other patch.

	* examples/*/*.py: got rid of deprecation messages.  Put scrolled
	windows round all clists.
	
	* pyglade/build.py: Fixes a bug in scrolledwindow_new pointed out
	by Michael Hudson.  Also made some changes so that it doesn't use
	any deprecated functions.

	* gtkmodule.c: fixed two typos pointed out by Michael Hudson

1998-12-05  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>

	* gtkmodule.c, generate/*.defs, gtk.py: updated to latest CVS.  This
	includes the function name changes Tim Janik introduced.  I have
	added backward compatibility wrappers for the old functions in gtk.py,
	which also print out a deprecation message.

1998-12-01  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>

	* gtk.py (GtkLayout): I had left a few remnants from when this class
	was in gnome.ui.  This is now fixed.

1998-11-29  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>

	* description.py: Added a description of the GtkCTreeNode type.

	* gtk.py (GtkCTree): Added the GtkCTree class to this layer.
	Hopefully I haven't made any mistakes.

1998-11-28  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>

	* generate/gtklists.defs: added entries for GtkCTree.

	* gtkmodule.c: Added the GtkCTreeNode type.  It exports some of the
	attributes of the GtkCTreeRow associated with the node.  Specifically,
	the parent, next sibling links, and a list of children.  This should
	be enough attributes to make the type useful.
	Also added extra functions for GtkCTree.
	
1998-11-27  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>

	* generate/gtk*.defs: updated for GTK+-1.1.5.
	
	* gtkmodule.c: added the PyGtk_RegisterBoxed function, exported through
	the _private dictionary.  This allows adding extra boxed types so they
	will be recognised in signal handlers and the like.
	
	* gtk.py: this file used to be Gtkinter.py.  People should make this
	change in their programs.  Also updated for changes to the API.
	
	* Gtkinter.py: new file.  Simply does a "from gtk import *", so old
	programs will still run properly.

	* examples/*/*.py, pyglade/*.py, GdkImlib.py, GtkExtra.py: changed
	occurences of Gtkinter to gtk.

1998-11-17  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>
	
	* GdkImlib.py: missed a closing parenthesis.  This caused problems.
	
	* generate/gtk.defs(gtk_rc_add_*_style): removed these functions.
	They weren't exported by Gtkinter, and their declaration has changed
	in newer GTK+'s.  Now pygtk should compile with both GTK+-1.1.3 and
	CVS GTK (tested for a 1998-11-16 checkout).
	
	* configure.in, NEWS: bumped version up to 0.5.5, and made new release.
	
	* generate/gtkmisc.defs, Gtkinter.py: added the GtkCalendar widget.

1998-11-15  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>
	
	* gtkmodule.c: added GdkCursor type.
	
	* gtkmodule.c(GdkWindow.set_cursor): function to set cursor for window
	
	* generate/gtk.defs (gtk_cursor_*): new functions to create cursors
	
	* gtkmodule.c(gtk_pixmap_create_from_xpm_d): new function to create
	a GdkPixmap from a list of strings (XPM data).  This allows you to
	store pixmaps inline with your program for distribution.
	
	* gdkimlibmodule.c: export the GdkImlibImageType, and a _private
	dictionary that holds exported functions.  I should be able to
	add the GdkImlibImage dependent functions to _gnomeui now.
	
	* GDK.py, GTK.py: updated with new constants.
	
	* examples/simple/*1.py: stopped importing _gtkbase, and don't call
	_gtk.pygtk_init().
	
	* pyglade/build.py: added menu widgets to the interface building code.
	
	* pygtk.spec: new file -- an RPM spec file for this package.
	
	* NEWS: add information about this new version.

1998-11-15  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>
	
	* gtkmodule.c: added GdkAtom handling.  There is now a special type for
	GdkAtoms that can be cast to string and int with str() and int()
	respectively, and it supports coercions, so it should act like an
	int in most cases.  Functions that take GdkAtom's as arguments
	actually take ints, so backward compatibility is kept, but functions
	that return GdkAtoms now return this special type.
	
	* gtkmodule.c, generate/gtkdnd.defs, Gtkinter.py: added the new DnD
	code, and support for selections.  The gtk_selection_* functions have
	been mapped to GtkWidget.selection_*, and the gtk_drag_* functions
	have been mapped to GtkWidget.drag_*
	
	* GdkImlib.py: added function create_image_from_data, so you can
	create an image from raw RGB data.  Also added the Image.get_pixmap
	method, which is like Image.make_pixmap, except it returns the
	GdkPixmap,GdkBitmap pair, instead of a GtkPixmap widget.

1998-11-14  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>

	* generate/*.defs: changes to bring pygtk up to date with GTK+-1.1.3

1998-11-13  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>
	
	* gtkmodule.c: added wrappers for GdkDragContext and GtkSelectionData.
	Also removed all the old DnD GdkEvent mappings, and added the
	GdkEventDND mapping.  This should be enough to get the new Dnd signals
	working.
	
	* generate/gtkbase.defs, gtkmodule.c(_wrap_gtk_widget_dnd_*): removed
	the old gtk_widget_dnd_* functions from the bindings.

1998-11-10  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>
	
	* build system: Converted over to using automake.  Note thay some
	modifications have been made to the original version of automake,
	so you will need to apply my patches if you want to modify pygtk.
	
	* swigsrc/*: removed.  I am now using some code generation tools
	that take .defs files as input.
	
	* gdkimlibmodule.c: got rid of all the swig stuff, and cleaned up the
	code a bit.  This has reduced the source code size by half.

1998-11-10  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>
	
	* ChangeLog: started change log.  Old Changelog file has been moved
	to NEWS
	
	* NEWS: used to be Changelog
