[Pythoncard-users] 0.7.3.1 release planned for Monday

[Kevin A. <al...@se...>]

I checked in a fix for menu.py yesterday so what's in cvs should work 
on all platforms with wxPython 2.4.2.4 and wxPython 2.5.1.5. I just 
checked in a change to model.py that delays the event bindings for 
background events so openBackground should occur before move, size, and 
idle on GTK regardless of whether debug runtime windows are used or 
not; that change should show up in anonymous cvs later today. As part 
of that fix I moved the Debug menu initialization to the Background 
_createMenus method. Initial tests don't show any problems. However, I 
would like to give everyone with cvs access a chance to check these 
changes before making the 0.7.3.1 release, so that release won't happen 
until Monday.

The current 0.7.3 release should be fine for everyone except Linux/GTK 
users running wxPython 2.5.1.5. Obviously we don't want to have a 
0.7.3.2 release, so if you find any other critical problems, please 
report them ASAP.

I have one remaining problem with wxPython 2.5.1.5, but it's not down to 
PythonCard and I don't think 0.7.3.1 needs to be held up, but see what you 
think:

Using transparent PNG images on wx.wxBitmapButton controls seems to be broken 
compared to 2.4.2.4, specifically, the transparency part no longer works. 
What you end up with is your graphic on a black background overlaid on top of 
the button. The fault is present with both the GTK and GTK2 ports of wxPython 
on Linux. The problem is reproducible by amending the image file used in 
'demo/BitmapButton.py' from the wxPython 2.5 demo distributon to use any 
transparent PNG you happen to have on your machine.

I'll check the wxPython mailing lists and see if anyone else has reported 
this.
