The page has been removed. * Code templates available for: * Boa: sys.breakpoint, customclasses, codetemplates, html document skeleton * Python: class, method, function, iterator, descriptor * wxPython: wx.ColourDialog, wx.FontDialog, wx.PrintDialogData, wx.PageSetupDialog, wx.DirDialog, wx.FileDialog, wx.SingleChoiceDialog, wx.TextEntryDialog, wx.MessageDialog, wx.FindReplaceDialog, wx.MultiChoiceDialog, wx.BusyCursor, wx.Locale, wx.AboutBox * New controls supported: wx.Treebook, wx.Toolbook, wx.richtext.RichTextCtrl, wx.combo.BitmapComboBox, wx.SearchCtrl, wx.ColourPickerCtrl, wx.FontPickerCtrl, wx.DirPickerCtrl, wx.FilePickerCtrl * Optional support for FlatNotebook under plugins * Basic support for Stock Ids for buttons * You still need to clear the label manually recreate the button before the stock id is applied * All help files now distributed as .htb help files. * This reduces the number of files in a typical boa installation enormously * Help updated to wxPython 2.8 and Python 2.5 * wxPython api help included * All help files back in the repository and included in packages * New release format added: exe * Installs as a self contained exe * A python/wxPython installation is still required to run external scripts and the debugger * Boa FindReplaceDialog improved to use sizers * Config files (Explorer.*.cfg, etc) now contain a version field and will be backed up and replaced if there is a newer version * Many bugfixes * Better handling of wxStaticBoxSizer * Improved code completion, names defined by for loops now available * Improved window placement with os taskbar in other positions -- 0.5.2 (CVS) -- 2006-10-16 * I18N _() string marking of source code base of names that needed core changes: Palette tab names, View names, Preference help strings * Startup messages, command-line help will not be translated * I18N _() string marking module: STCStyleEditor, HelpBook Support, ImageEdit Support * locale/boa.pot available as a PO Template file * Bug fixes -- 0.5.1 (CVS) -- 2006-10-12 * I18N _() string marking of the source code base excluded sections: ZopeSupport, STCStyleEditor, About, CVS/SVN, HelpBook Support, ImageEdit Support and Cyclops excluded UI elements: Palette tab names, View names, Preference help strings, startup messages, command-line help, -- 0.5.0 (CVS) -- 2006-10-10 * wxPython 2.7/Python 2.5 compatibility * Internationalisation (I18N) support: * IDE language preference setting: Preferences->General->Miscellaneous->i18nLanguage People willing to translate the IDE UI strings to their own languages please contact me. I recommend poEdit for managing the catalogs. * Design time support for i18n _() strings in the generated source. See Examples/i18n/* * Improved design time sizer/control creation: * Sizers and controls are now automatically linked up or added as sizer items when the sizers and control are created from the Palette on the Designer. * Added some missing FlexGridSizer properties * Improved unicode source handling * Using the coding delaration if defined (# -*- coding: name -*- ) * Handling for utf8 bom * Bugfixes * Much better support for running Boa from an exe * Option to use image modules generated by resourcepackage so all images can be bundled inside the exe See Scripts/ManageImageResourcePackage.py * Fixed problems with debugging from an exe. (Remember that the debug server still has to run from source) * Added new controls to the Palette: * wx: Listbook, Choicebook, GIFAnimationCtrl, MediaCtrl * wx.lib: ScrollPanel, HyperLinkCtrl, AnalogClock, FileBrowseButtons, MultiSplitterWindow, Throbber, Ticker, DragScroller * Support for using wx.ArtProvider for bitmap properties in the Designer * When the file dialog opens from the property editor, set the Image Type to ArtProvider and click Open, the ArtProvider dialog will open. * If you want to install your own custom ArtProviders into the IDE, you need to write a Boa plug-in that installs your ArtProvider (e.g. wx.ArtProvider.PushProvider()) and also append your custom artid strings to the PaletteStore.artProviderArtIds list. (An example will be provided soon) * SVN file explorer support (under Plug-ins) * Works almost exactly like the current CVS support * Requires command-line svn to be installed on your machine * Better command-line completion on modules imported in your code * Set Preferences->General->Editor->importOnCodeComplete to True to turn on this feature. It tries to import the specified modules in the Shell namespace. It's off by default because importing arbitrary modules can be dangerous. * -wxVersionSelect, -W command-line switch, for specifying a wxPython version -- 0.4.4 (Release) -- 2005-07-11 * Bugfixes and more wx 2.5 name fixes * wxMAC compatibility improvements thanks to Kevin Walzer. * Recommended to use at least Python 2.4.1 and wxPython 2.6.0 under OS X * Added support for the unicode encoding declaration (PEP 263), thanks to Eggert Magnusson. * Added support for wx.GridBagSizer * Added property editors for BackgroundStyle and WindowVariant * Fixed Inspector redraw issues -- 0.4.3 (CVS) -- 2005-05-18 * Converted all core/plugins/example code to wxPython 2.5 style code. The migration to 2.5 is now complete :) * Improved Code Completion and Call Tips. * Bugfixes for 2.5 style wx code completion/call tips. * Using wx.py.introspect for shell call tips. * Added code completion/call tips for local/global variables if their type could be picked up from the scope in which the name is used. * IDE Framework registration api in Plugins.py. * registerFileType(Controller, Model=None, newName='', addToNew=True, aliasExts=()) * registerPalettePage(paletteName, paletteTitle) * registerComponent(paletteName, Control, controlName, Companion) * registerTool(name, func, bmp='-', key='') * registerLanguageSTCStyle(name, lang, STCClass, stylesFile, insertPos=None) * registerPreference(pluginName, prefName, defPrefValSrc, docs=[], info='') * All core and plugin code updated to use the api. This hopefully makes extending Boa less cryptic. * Bugfixes, code cleanups, removed wxPython <= 2.4 special cased code. * Python modernizations.
