Release History

(1.0 final release)

+ added 'ui_path' dummy method, for compatibility with the WCK
  implementation used in effbot.exe 2.0.

(1.0c1 released)

+ added DrawInterface section to WCK.html

(1.0b5 released)

+ Added 'crop' method to pixmap objects.  This creates a reference
  to a subrectangle in a given pixmap; you can use this to copy a
  portion of a pixmap to the screen:

      dxy = (x, y) # destination offset
      sxy = (x0, y0, x1, y1) # source rectangle
      draw.paste(pixmap.crop(sxy), dxy)

+ Added 'settransform' method to draw and pixmap objects.  This
  release only supports translation, with the transform given as
  a (dx, dy) tuple.

      draw.settransform((dx, dy))
      draw.line(...)

  Note that settransform *replaces* the current transform; if you
  need to combine transformations, you have to merge them yourself.

(1.0b4 released)

2003-05-10: It's in beta, but I still cannot make up my mind about
naming: all the code is now moved to a "WCK" package.  The package
initialization code imports the right widget classes and all utility
classes, so instead of importing "wck" or "tk3", new code should
simply import "WCK", and use stuff from the "WCK" namespace.  The
"tk3" module (now a package) is still available as an alias.

2003-05-09: Added "wck" module (removed in the next release; see
above); moved Tkinter implementation to an internal "wckTkinter"
module.  The "tk3" module is simply an alias for "wck".  Changed
'ui_image' interface to accept PIL Image objects as well as Tkinter
PhotoImage objects.  Changed 'paste' method to take an optional
destination region instead of offset/size.  added unicode support to
the "text" and "textsize" methods.

2002-08-18: Added WCKSimple2DAPI hooks for implementing (parts of) a
WCK widget in C.  The demoC/tk3demo sample code shows how to use it.
for more info, see: http://effbot.org/zone/tkinter3000-wck-draw.htm

2002-08-14: First public beta, after a considerable time as an
internal beta.  The biggest change is the addition of pythondoc
markup.

2001-12-31: Third alpha; use smarter Tcl/Tk library search for Windows

2001-12-29: Second alpha; distutils build script; experimental pixmap
support; etc.

2001-02-03: Alpha cleanup; improved uiToolkit compatibility; changed
'ui_init' behaviour; moved utility functions to tk3utils.py (this
module shouldn't be used by user code; all public utilities are
available from tk3's namespace).

2001-01-17: Fifth public preview release.

2001-01-11: Use style object to draw default background and border;
fixed rollback on bogus relief setting; added support for horizontal
scrolling; don't let 'ui_damage' generate multiple expose events if we
can prevent it; fixed paste offset

2001-01-10: On the way to first alpha: draw highlight region and
border relief

2001-01-09: Minor demo tweaks; experimental framework support for
double buffered rendering (ui_doublebuffer)

2001-01-08: Fourth preview release; new license; added scroll mixin;
changed mixin method names; simplified textmixin (no repair method);
added standard button controller class.

2001-01-07: Third preview release; experimental support for
double-buffered rendering (see rough version in demoLissajou.py)

2001-01-06: Second preview release; includes driver source code

2001-01-05: Support for controllers; more demo scripts

2001-01-04: Support for Python 2.0/Tk 8.3; cursor option

2001-01-03: Initial sneak preview
