[ANNOUNCE] wxPerl 0.26

[Mattia Barbon]

A new version of wxPerl, the Perl bindings to wxWidgets, is out!

wxWidgets is a free and cross platform (Windows/Motif/GTK/Mac) C++ GUI
toolkit with native look and feel. (visit http://www.wxwidgets.org/
for details).

You can download wxPerl sources from
$CPAN/authors/id/M/MB/MBARBON/Wx-0.26.tar.gz;

Screenshots: http://wxperl.sourceforge.net/sshot01.html
Binary packages for ActivePerl/Win32 8xx builds, Red Hat
Linux and Mac OS X are available along with documentation
in HTML and MS HTML Help format from
http://wxperl.sourceforge.net/download.html

The project home page is http://wxperl.sourceforge.net/. There is also
a mailing list dedicated to wxPerl users:
(e-mail address removed)

Changes since the last release:
- Fixed various Wx::GridBagSizer problems.
- Fixed Original Object Return for Wx:lGridCellEditor and
Wx:lGridCellRenderer.
- Removed the requirement of deriving from Wx::App.
- Expanded Wx:lWindow.
- Added Wx:erl::TextValidator (thanks to Johan Vromans).
- Changed the interface for Wx:lDataObjectSimple::GetDataHere.
- Added Wx::BufferedDC and Wx::BufferedPaintDC.
- Added wxStdButtonSizer.
- Build out of the box on FreeBSD.

Regards
Mattia

I'm new to Perl but have done alot of gui win32 and mfc
including owner drawn controls. I know that you write
a dll to interface with mfc controls. I'm a little worried
that most of those interfaces are woefully inadequate.
Do your widgets provied Perl interfaces to controls down to
such levels as to override say the drawing level.
I realize you think that anything you add is "more" than
anybody else has but as in java script or html controls
its too far removed from win32 and mfc for the user to
actually do much. I realize theres too much to provide
without blowing up a dll interface to gigantic proportions.
Why do you think your widgets package is of any use whatsoever
in relation to Perl.

Sidenote- its just disgusting how all your efforts are free
and that gives you the right to spam all the Perl groups.
Your not the only ones, the emacs and other spammers think
they have rights also.

If you reply, remember that I've done mfc/windows since it started
in the 16 bit world, et all. You won't pass any bullshit by me.
