A few years ago when I updated the dabodev.com website, I switched from the original wiki software (ZWiki, running on Zope), to MediaWIki. I planned on migrating the old pages to the new format, but life got in the way.
A few weeks ago a relative newcomer to Dabo, Dragan Nedeljković, asked me about the wiki. I had the old files I had exported from ZWiki, but bit rot had set in, and the files were not readable. I thought all was lost, but then I remembered the Internet Archive! I searched it for the old wiki, and sure enough, the old pages live on in the Archive! None of the images were saved, though, so the pretty pictures are lost.
So for the past two weeks I’ve been using my free time (I got Corona’d from my job back in March) to convert the old pages to the new format. It’s nowhere near complete, but I have completed the “Framework Documentation” section, which contains most of the useful information we had in the archive.

I hope that this is useful to someone!

Wow - thank you very much.
Have you taken a look at wxPython 4.1.x? There are a bunch of changes that will need changes in Dabo.

I have 4.1.0 installed, but haven’t had time to play with Dabo very much. I noticed that the demo no longer works, and anything involving menus seems to abend unpredictably.
Is there a list of the changes somewhere?

Things I am aware of:
My guess is there is nothing available as far as a list of changes.
I am unable to install 4.1.x on my OpenSuse 15.1 - but it does install on ubuntu 18.
I got the menu to work on window by adding "dMenuItem = dabo.import_ui_name('dMenuItem')" to dPemMixin.py -> _restoreFontZoom() seems to work on windows 10, python 3.7.x and stopped the crashing.
dGrid (in many places) I changed "self.SetSelectionMode(wx.grid.Grid.wxGridSelectCells)" "self.SetSelectionMode(wx.grid.Grid.wxGridSelectRows)" to "self.SetSelectionMode(wx.grid.Grid.GridSelectCells)"
"self.SetSelectionMode(wx.grid.Grid.GridSelectRows)"
That's all I currently know about. I'm still looking.
