Release 0.6 2001-12-27
*** wxPython 2.3.2 or later is now required to use PythonCard ***
added assert wxc.__version__ >= "2.3.2" to model.py
  the move to wxPython 2.3.2 fixes the menu accelerator bugs
*** resourceEditor sample is now a fully functional layout editor ***
updated resourceEditor
  added Run command, Run Options, and dialogs for editing the stack,
  background, and menu for an application
  added commands to change the component order
    component order is shown in the Property Editor
  added a grid option, so components can be aligned to the grid
  this isn't a commercial-quality layout editor since it still uses
    the runtime Property Editor to edit component (widget) properties,
    lacks extensive error checking and field validation and has
    many missing features and some oddball bugs, but overall it works
    well enough to do a fixed position layout quickly and easily
    and there is no Undo!
changed wxPython imports from
  from wxPython.wx import *
  to the more explicit
  from wxPython import wx
  added missing imports such as 'import types' where needed
replaced occurrences of wx.true and wx.false with 1 and 0
added a components directory
merged wxPython_binding.py into binding.py and moved widget-specific
  bindings to individual module files
moved spec.py descriptions for each widget to its respective widget
  module
split widget.py so each widget is in its own file in the components
  directory
  all widgets (components) are now self-contained modules in the
  components directory. each module includes the spec, event bindings,
  and attribute descriptions (formerly in spec.py) in addition to the
  widget class. when the module is imported it "registers" itself, so
  that the class is available for applications.
added drawPointList and drawLineList (2.3.2 feature) to the
  BitmapCanvas widget, switched to drawPointList in hopalong sample
  for a roughly 4x speed improvement
  also added Chaos1ScriptFastest.txt turtle script example
updated the setup.py script for minimal.py and provided some basic
  instructions in the readme.txt. It is necessary to uncomment the
  import in minimal.py prior to using py2exe due to how the dynamic
  imports are done for components
fixed _setFile bug in Image class
updated findfiles open/save code to automatically load and save
  the last grep parameters used to a 'findfiles.grep' file
updated log.py and config.py to use module-level functions in place
  of directly accessing the singleton classes from other modules
  log.info() instead of log.Log.getInstance().info() ...
  added logToStdout option to redirect log output to stdout
changed defaultStackPosition to defaultBackgroundPosition in
  pythoncard_config.py and pythoncard_user_config.py
moved title, position, size, statusBar, and icon attributes from
  the 'stack' to the 'background'
fixed alternative resource file loading
  added example of usage to SourceForgeTracker sample
