| OSX - 2.8 works fine but can change to 3.0 easily enough (homebrew installs 3 rather than 2.8 so, in some ways, easier). If changing to 3.0 need to rebake wxPython etc into the binary using pyinstaller. | OSX - 2.8 works fine but can change to 3.0 easily enough (homebrew installs 3 rather than 2.8 so, in some ways, easier).

| - | Ubuntu - 2.8 works fine on all versions until Xenial in which case need 3.0. May be best to specify 3.0 in the control file for the debian package. As long as it runs on Trusty OK then we are done. Can make just the one version of the binary. But it all depends on whether the versions of wxPython 3.0 available on Trusty have the latest bug fix (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wxpython3.0/+bug/1388847) backported. The fix enables wxHTML2 to work without having to load environment variable as per LD_PRELOAD = /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libwx_gtk2u_webview-3.0.so.0.2.0 in my case (i386 vs x86_64). | + | Ubuntu - 2.8 works fine on all versions until Xenial in which case need 3.0.

| - | Action - wait until the bug fix is released. Current version of wxPython3.0 is 3.0.2.0+dfsg-**1**build1 - we need wxpython3.0 - 3.0.2.0+dfsg-**2**. Then try to install using a new SOFA debian package I create requiring 3.0. Currently a weird problem installing via new GNOME Software Centre. dpkg -i fails and need sudo apt-get install -f to fix. Not entirely surprising given known limitations of dpkg in resolving dependencies. Best to get deb package working when opened via new GNOME software centre. Why not working currently? | + | Action - wait until the bug fix is released. Current version of wxPython3.0 is 3.0.2.0+dfsg-**1**build1 - we need wxpython3.0 - 3.0.2.0+dfsg-**2**.

| Note - don't try to run the 2.8 version while loading the LD_PRELOAD command needed as workaround bug in wxHTML2 just fixed. Breaks RadioBoxes ;-). | Note - don't try to run the 2.8 version while loading the LD_PRELOAD command needed as workaround bug in wxHTML2 just fixed. Breaks RadioBoxes ;-). | ||
