wxPython 2.8

OLD: wxBitmap *bitmap = new wxBitmap(image); NEW

    > wxBitmap *bitmap = new wxBitmap(*image);

Hey Chris, thanks for this info. Do we expect this modified code to
also work for older versions of wx, or is this 2.8 specific.

    > Is anyone maintaining the wx back-end now?

Noone officially. Ken and Charlie both have commit privileges and
have worked on wx, but noone has volunteered to be the designated goto
person.

I think it will work with older versions, but I haven't tested it. How far back do we need to go? I think 2.6.3 ( the last "stable" release ) should do it.

Aside from this, that's relevant if I ever find the time to work on other parts of the wx backends.

I'll try to test.

Ken has said he's going to try to take a look soon, but we're all busy!

The current Debian stable (e.g. Sarge) has wxWindows 2.4.3.1.

I'm planning to make time for this, and a slew of other wx backend stuff, in early February.

Really? Darn, 2.4 is very old for wxPython.

Do a lot of folks only use the official packages?

Great! thanks.

Yep! You have no idea how happy I'll be when Etch comes out...

I can't give you a confident yes, but I would imagine so. I'm using them on deployed systems, so it's worth it to me to ensure compatibility.
