When you next do an update and "make install" in your chandler dir you'll get a new wx tarball based on revision 100 from the wx repository. No changes in chandler are required to use this tarball. New features in this tarball include the following:

* New factory functions for creating wx.Bitmaps directly from Python buffer objects, without needing to create a wx.Image first. Common buffer objects are strings, arrays, NumPy arrays, etc.

* Added wx.NativePixelBuffer, wx.AlphPixelBuffer and related iterator and accessor classes. They allow platform independent direct access to the platform specific pixel buffer inside of a wx.Bitmap object.

* Added wx.App.DisplayAvailable() which can be used to determine if a GUI can be created in the current environment. (Still need an implementation for wxMSW...)

* wx.Colour now includes an alpha component, which defaults to wx.ALPHA_OPAQUE. This is in preparation for allowing various new alpha blening functionality using wx.Colour objects, such as drawing with pens and brushes on a wx.DC. Use of the alpha component with wx.DC has been implemented so far on OS X.
