5 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.8.x
6 ================================
7
8
9 Notice that these changes are described in more details in
10 the "Changes Since wxWidgets 2.8" section of the manual,
11 please read it if the explanation here is too cryptic.
12
13
14 Unicode-related changes
15 -----------------------
16
17 The biggest changes in wxWidgets 3.0 are the changes due to the merge of the
18 old ANSI and Unicode build modes in a single build. See the Unicode overview
19 in the manual for more details but here are the most important incompatible
20 changes:
21
22 - Many wxWidgets functions taking "const wxChar *" have been changed to take
23 either "const wxString&" (so that they accept both Unicode and ANSI strings;
24 the argument can't be NULL anymore in this case) or "const char *" (if the
25 strings are always ANSI; may still be NULL). This change is normally
26 backwards compatible except:
27
28 a) Virtual functions: derived classes versions must be modified to take
29 "const wxString&" as well to make sure that they continue to override the
30 base class version.
31
32 b) Passing NULL as argument: as NULL can't be unambiguously converted to
33 wxString, in many cases code using it won't compile any more and NULL
34 should be replaced with an empty string.
35
36 - Functions returning "const wxChar *" were changed as well. Mostly they now
37 return wxString which is then transparently convertible to either "const char
38 *" or "const wchar_t *" but in some cases, notably wxDateTime::ParseXXX(),
39 the returned string could be NULL and so a separate helper class is used. If
40 you obtain compilation errors because of this, you can always correct them by
41 explicitly assigning the function return value to a variable of wanted type.
42 A slightly more intrusive but better solution is to use ParseXXX() version
43 with wxString::const_iterator output parameter which simply returns bool to
44 indicate the parsing success.
45
46 - Some structure fields which used to be of type "const wxChar *" (such as
47 wxCmdLineEntryDesc::shortName, longName and description fields) are now of
48 type "const char *", you need to remove wxT() or _T() around the values used
49 to initialize them (which should normally always be ASCII). If you want your
50 code to remain compatible with Unicode build of previous wx version, please
51 use the special wxT_2, which is the same as wxT in 2.x only, instead.
52
53 - wxIPC classes didn't work correctly in Unicode build before, this was fixed
54 but at a price of breaking backwards compatibility: many methods which used
55 to work with "wxChar *" before use "void *" now (some int parameters were
56 also changed to size_t). While wxIPC_TEXT can still be used to transfer 7
57 bit text, the new wxIPC_UTF8TEXT format is used for transferring wxStrings.
58 Also notice that connection classes should change the parameter types of
59 their overridden OnExecute() or override a more convenient OnExec() instead.
60
61
62 wxODBC and contrib libraries removal
63 ------------------------------------
64
65 wxODBC library was unmaintained since several years and we couldn't continue
66 supporting it any longer so it was removed. Please use any of the other open
67 source ODBC libraries in the future projects.
68
69 Also the "applet", "deprecated", "fl", "mmedia" and "plot" contrib libraries
70 were removed as they were unmaintained and broken since several years.
71 The "gizmos", "ogl", "net" and "foldbar" contribs have been moved to
72 wxCode (see http://wxcode.sourceforge.net/complist.php); they are now
73 open for further development by volunteers.
74
75 The "stc" and "svg" contribs instead have been moved respectively into a new
76 "official" library stc and in the core lib.
77
78
79 Changes in behaviour not resulting in compilation errors, please read this!
80 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
81
82 - Default location of wxFileConfig files has changed under Windows, you will
83 need to update your code if you access these files directly.
84
85 - wxWindow::IsEnabled() now returns false if a window parent (and not
86 necessarily the window itself) is disabled, new function IsThisEnabled()
87 with the same behaviour as old IsEnabled() was added.
88
89 - Generating wxNavigationKeyEvent events doesn't work any more under wxGTK (and
90 other platforms in the future), use wxWindow::Navigate() or NavigateIn()
91 instead.
92
93 - Sizers distribute only the extra space between the stretchable items
94 according to their proportions and not all available space. We believe the
95 new behaviour corresponds better to user expectations but if you did rely
96 on the old behaviour you will have to update your code to set the minimal
97 sizes of the sizer items to be in the same proportion as the items
98 proportions to return to the old behaviour.
99
100 - Interpretation of font height in pixels parameter has changed in wxFont
101 ctor and SetPixelSize() in wxMSW: it is now used as character height and not
102 the total cell height. If you previously used negative height to explicitly
103 request character height matching, you may now change your code to use
104 positive value (passing negative height still works but is undocumented and
105 deprecated). If you used positive height before you should retest your code
106 to check if the changes correspond to your expectations. And if you do need
107 the old behaviour please contact us at wx-dev to let us know about it!
108
109 - wxWindow::Freeze/Thaw() are not virtual any more, if you overrode them in
110 your code you need to override DoFreeze/DoThaw() instead now.
111
112 - wxCalendarCtrl has native implementation in wxGTK, but it has less features
113 than the generic one. The native implementation is used by default, but you
114 can still use wxGenericCalendarCtrl instead of wxCalendarCtrl in your code if
115 you need the extra features.
116
117 - wxDocument::FileHistoryLoad() and wxFileHistory::Load() now take const
118 reference to wxConfigBase argument and not just a reference, please update
119 your code if you overrode these functions and change the functions in the
120 derived classes to use const reference as well.
121
122 - Under MSW wxExecute() arguments are now always properly quoted, as under
123 Unix, and so shouldn't contain quotes unless they are part of the argument.
124
125 - wxDocument::OnNewDocument() doesn't call OnCloseDocument() any more.
126
127 - If you use wxScrolledWindow::SetTargetWindow() you must implement its
128 GetSizeAvailableForScrollTarget() method, please see its documentation for
129 more details.
130
131 - Processing of pending events now requires a running event loop.
132 Thus initialization code (e.g. showing a dialog) previously done in wxApp::OnRun()
133 or equivalent function should now be done into wxApp::OnEventLoopEnter().
134 See wxApp::OnEventLoopEnter() and wxApp::OnEventLoopExit() docs for more info.
135
136 - wxLoadFileSelector() now allows the user to select existing files only.
137
138 - Erase background events are now not generated at all when background style is
139 changed. See the updated wxWindow::SetBackgroundStyle() description in the
140 manual for more details.
141
142 - wxTreeCtrl::GetSelection now asserts if the tree has the wxTR_MULTIPLE style.
143 Instead use GetSelections() for multiple items; or if you want only the
144 single item last touched, the new wxTreeCtrl::GetFocusedItem.
145
146 - Custom log targets should be updated to override wxLog::DoLogRecord() method
147 instead of DoLog() or DoLogString() and must be updated if they call the base
148 class versions of these functions as this won't work any more; please see the
149 documentation of wxLog for more information.
150
151 - Confusing wxGridSizer(int cols, int vgap = 0, int hgap = 0) ctor which was
152 easy to mistake for wxGridSizer(int rows, int cols) overload was removed, you
153 will need to specify both vertical and horizontal gap if you want to use this
154 overload or specify both rows and columns and the gap otherwise. Use of the
155 new constructors taking wxSize for the gap argument is preferred. The same
156 applies to wxFlexGridSizer as well.
157
158 - wxBoxSizer::AddSpacer(x) now adds space in the direction of the sizer only
159 and not in both this and the orthogonal directions. This behaviour is what
160 most of the people expect but if you really relied on this overload adding
161 space in both directions you should change your code to use AddSpacer(x, x).
162
163 - wxTextCtrl::LoadFile no longer sends a text update event.
164
165 - wxXmlDocument::Save()'s indentstep argument's interpretation was fixed
166 to match the documentation: it now really is the number of spaces in
167 indentation instead of being its double. Its default value was changed
168 accordingly, to 2.
169
170 - wxLOCALE_CONV_ENCODING flag has no effect now, catalogs are converted
171 regardless of whether the flag was specified or not. This only affects
172 legacy ANSI builds.
173
174 - wxNotebook::GetSelection() returns the new page index when called from
175 wxEVT_COMMAND_NOTEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGED event handler in wxMSW, not the old one.
176 The new behaviour is consistent with wxGTK and more logical but different
177 from the previous versions. Using wxNotebookEvent::GetSelection() instead of
178 querying the notebook selection avoids the problem and is recommended.
179
180 - wxMSW-specific wxAutomationObject::GetInstance() method now creates a new
181 instance if needed instead of failing if the application providing the
182 requested ProgID is not running. Pass wxAutomationInstance_UseExistingOnly
183 flag to it to revert to the old behaviour. It is also possible to use the
184 wxAutomationInstance_SilentIfNone flag to prevent the error message if no
185 currently running instances of this object are available.
186
187 - Signature of wxDataViewCustomRenderer::StartDrag() virtual method changed.
188 You will need to change it in your derived renderer class too if you override
189 it.
190
191 - wxDataViewCustomRenderer::Activate() and LeftClick() were replaced with the
192 new ActivateCell() method. You will need to change it in your derived
193 renderer class accordingly.
194
195 - wxThread::Wait() and wxThread::Delete() used to dispatch the events while
196 waiting for the thread to exit in wxMSW. They still do it in default build
197 with WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_8 defined but won't dispatch any events, i.e. the
198 default wait mode will become wxTHREAD_WAIT_BLOCK in the next wxWidgets
199 release so you are strongly encouraged to upgrade your code to stop relying
200 on this behaviour.
201
202 - wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK events are not generated any more if the mouse is captured to
203 prevent the parent wxTopLevelWindow from interfering with the keyboard
204 handling of the window that captured the mouse.
205
206 - wxDataViewCtrl::GetSelection() now returns invalid item in all ports (this
207 behaved differently in wxMSW and wxGTK/wxOSX before) if more than one item
208 is selected in a control with wxDV_MULTIPLE style.
209
210
211 Changes in behaviour which may result in compilation errors
212 -----------------------------------------------------------
213
214 - WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_4 doesn't exist any more, please update your code if
215 you still relied on features deprecated since version 2.4
216
217 - wxDC classes hierarchy has changed, if you derived any classes from wxDC you
218 need to review them as wxDC doesn't have any virtual methods any longer and
219 uses delegation instead of inheritance to present different behaviours.
220
221 - wxWindow::ProcessEvent() (and other wxEvtHandler methods inherited by wxWindow)
222 has been made protected to prevent wrongly using it instead of correct
223 GetEventHandler()->ProcessEvent().
224 New ProcessWindowEvent() was added for convenience.
225
226 - Return type of wxString::operator[] and wxString::iterator::operator* is no
227 longer wxChar (i.e. char or wchar_t), but wxUniChar. This is not a problem
228 in vast majority of cases because of conversion operators, but it can break
229 code that depends on the result being wxChar.
230
231 - The value returned by wxString::c_str() cannot be casted to non-const char*
232 or wchar_t* anymore. The solution is to use newly added wxString methods
233 char_str() (which returns a buffer convertible to char*) or wchar_str()
234 (which returns a buffer convertible to wchar_t*). These methods are
235 available in wxWidgets 2.8 series beginning with 2.8.4 as well.
236
237 - The value returned by wxString::operator[] or wxString::iterator cannot be
238 used in switch statements anymore, because it's a class instance. Code like
239 this won't compile:
240 switch (str[i]) { ... }
241 and has to be replaced with this:
242 switch (str[i].GetValue()) { ... }
243
244 - Return type of wxString::c_str() is now a helper wxCStrData struct and not
245 const wxChar*. wxCStrData is implicitly convertible to both "const char *"
246 and "const wchar_t *", so this only presents a problem if the compiler cannot
247 apply the conversion. This can happen in 2 cases:
248
249 + There is an ambiguity because the function being called is overloaded to
250 take both "const char *" and "const wchar_t *" as the compiler can't choose
251 between them. In this case you may use s.wx_str() to call the function
252 matching the current build (Unicode or not) or s.mb_str() or s.wc_str() to
253 explicitly select narrow or wide version of it.
254
255 Notice that such functions are normally not very common but unfortunately
256 Microsoft decided to extend their STL with standard-incompatible overloads
257 of some functions accepting "const wchar_t *" so you may need to replace
258 some occurrences of c_str() with wx_str() when using MSVC 8 or later.
259
260 + Some compilers, notably Borland C++ and DigitalMars, don't correctly
261 convert operator?: operands to the same type and fail with compilation
262 error instead. This can be worked around by explicitly casting to const
263 wxChar*: wxLogError(_("error: %s"), !err.empty() ? (const wxChar*)err.c_str() : "")
264
265 - wxCtime() and wxAsctime() return char*; this is incompatible with Unicode
266 build in wxWidgets 2.8 that returned wchar_t*.
267
268 - DigitalMars compiler has a bug that prevents it from using
269 wxUniChar::operator bool in conditions and it erroneously reports type
270 conversion ambiguity in expressions such as this:
271 for ( wxString::const_iterator p = s.begin(); *p; ++p )
272 This can be worked around by explicitly casting to bool:
273 for ( wxString::const_iterator p = s.begin(); (bool)*p; ++p )
274
275 - Virtual wxHtmlParser::AddText() takes wxString, not wxChar*, argument now.
276
277 - Functions that took wxChar* arguments that could be NULL in wxWidgets 2.8
278 are deprecated and passing NULL to them won't compile anymore, wxEmptyString
279 must be used instead.
280
281 - wxTmemxxx() functions take either wxChar* or char*, not void*: use memxxx()
282 with void pointers.
283
284 - Removed insecure wxGets() and wxTmpnam() functions.
285
286 - Removed global GetLine() function from wx/protocol/protocol.h, use
287 wxProtocol::ReadLine() instead.
288
289 - wxVariant no longer derives from wxObject. wxVariantData also no longer
290 derives from wxObject; instead of using wxDynamicCast with wxVariantData you
291 can use the macro wxDynamicCastVariantData with the same arguments.
292
293 - wxWindow::Next/PrevControlId() don't exist any more as they couldn't be
294 implemented correctly any longer because automatically generated ids are not
295 necessarily allocated consecutively now. Use GetChildren() to find the
296 next/previous control sibling instead.
297
298 - Calling wxConfig::Write() with an enum value will fail to compile because
299 wxConfig now tries to convert all unknown types to wxString automatically.
300 The simplest solution is to cast the enum value to int.
301
302 - Several wxImage methods which previously had "long bitmaptype" parameters
303 have been changed to accept "wxBitmapType bitmaptype", please use enum
304 wxBitmapType in your code.
305
306 - wxGridCellEditor::EndEdit() signature has changed and it was split in two
307 functions, one still called EndEdit() and ApplyEdit(). See the documentation
308 of the new functions for more details about how grid editors should be
309 written now.
310
311 - wxEVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGE event renamed to wxEVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGED and shouldn't
312 be vetoed any more, use the new wxEVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGING event to do it.
313
314 - wxListCtrlCompare function used with wxListCtrl::SortItems() must now declare
315 its third parameter as wxIntPtr and not long (this allows passing pointers
316 to it under 64 bit platforms too).
317
318 - Global wxPendingEvents and wxPendingEventsLocker objects were removed.
319 You may use wxEventLoopBase::SuspendProcessingOfPendingEvents instead of
320 locking wxPendingEventsLocker now.
321
322 - wxBitmapButton::GetBitmapXXX() overloads returning non-const wxBitmap
323 references have been removed, modifying the returned bitmaps never worked and
324 now results in compile-time error.
325
326 - wxLogXXX() are now macros, not functions. Because of this calling them with
327 an explicit scope resolution operator ("::wxLogError()") doesn't work any
328 longer, just remove it. Also notice that using them inside an "if" statement
329 without enclosing parentheses results in warnings from g++ with -Wparentheses,
330 add parentheses around the if statement body to work around it.
331
332 - wxList::Member() now returns bool and not a pointer/iterator. This shouldn't
333 require any changes as it was always meant to be used for checking for the
334 presence of an element in the list only. If you used it as Find(), simple do
335 use Find() instead.
336
337 - wxLongLongFmtSpec is now a normal and not wide string so you will need to
338 change expressions of the form wxT("%") wxLongLongFmtSpec wxT("x") to
339 just "%" wxLongLongFmtSpec "x", i.e. simply remove wxT() from the strings you
340 concatenate with it.
341
342 - wxST_MARKUP doesn't exist any more, use wxControl::SetLabelMarkup() instead.
343
344 - wxComboBox::IsEmpty(), which was previously available in some ports (but not
345 wxMSW), doesn't exist any more, use either IsListEmpty() or IsTextEmpty().
346
347
348 Deprecated methods and their replacements
349 -----------------------------------------
350
351 - wxCreateGreyedImage() deprecated, use wxImage::ConvertToGreyscale() instead.
352 - wxString::GetWriteBuf() and UngetWriteBuf() deprecated, using wxStringBuffer
353 or wxStringBufferLength instead.
354 - wxDIRCTRL_SHOW_FILTERS style is deprecated, filters are alwsys shown if
355 specified so this style should simply be removed
356 - wxDocManager::MakeDefaultName() replaced by MakeNewDocumentName() and
357 wxDocument::GetPrintableName() with GetUserReadableName() which are simpler
358 to use
359 - wxXmlProperty class was renamed to wxXmlAttribute in order to use standard
360 terminology. Corresponding wxXmlNode methods were renamed to use
361 "Attribute" instead of "Property" or "Prop" in their names.
362 - wxConnection::OnExecute() is not formally deprecated yet but new code should
363 use simpler OnExec() version which is called with wxString argument
364 - Various wxMenuItem methods were deprecated in favour of more consisently
365 named new versions:
366 . GetLabel() is now GetItemLabelText()
367 . GetText() is not GetItemLabel()
368 . GetLabelFromText() is now GetLabelText()
369 . SetText() is now SetItemLabel()
370 - wxBrush's, wxPen's SetStyle() and GetStyle() as well as the wxBrush/wxPen
371 ctor now take respectively a wxBrushStyle and a wxPenStyle value instead of a
372 plain "int style"; use the new wxBrush/wxPen style names (wxBRUSHSTYLE_XXX
373 and wxPENSTYLE_XXX) instead of the old deprecated wxXXX styles.
374 - EVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGE was deprecated, use EVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGED instead if you
375 don't veto the event in its handler and EVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGING if you do.
376 - EVT_CALENDAR_DAY event has been deprecated, use EVT_CALENDAR_SEL_CHANGED.
377 - EVT_CALENDAR_MONTH and EVT_CALENDAR_YEAR events are deprecated,
378 use EVT_CALENDAR_PAGE_CHANGED which replaces both of them.
379 - wxCalendarCtrl::EnableYearChange() and wxCAL_NO_YEAR_CHANGE are deprecated.
380 There is no replacement for this functionality, it is being dropped as it is
381 not available in native wxCalendarCtrl implementations.
382 - wxDC::SetClippingRegion(const wxRegion&) overload is deprecated as it used
383 different convention from the other SetClippingRegion() overloads: wxRegion
384 passed to it was interpreted in physical, not logical, coordinates. Replace
385 it with SetDeviceClippingRegion() if this was the correct thing to do in your
386 code.
387 - wxTE_AUTO_SCROLL style is deprecated as it's always on by default anyhow.
388 - wxThreadHelper::Create() has been renamed to CreateThread which has a better
389 name for a mix-in class, and allows setting the thread type.
390 - wxDos2UnixFilename, wxUnix2DosFilename, wxStripExtension, wxGetTempFileName,
391 wxExpandPath, wxContractPath, wxRealPath, wxCopyAbsolutePath, wxSplitPath
392 were deprecated in favour of wxFileName methods. See docs for more info.
393 - wxEvtHandler::TryValidator/Parent() are deprecated, override the new and
394 documented TryBefore/After() methods if you used to override these ones.
395 - wxGetMultipleChoices() is deprecated, use wxGetSelectedChoices() which has
396 the same signature but returns -1 and not 0 if the dialog was cancelled.
397 - building the windows which are placed inside wxStaticBoxes as siblings of the
398 wxStaticBox is still allowed but it's deprecated as it gives some problems
399 on some ports (e.g. wxGTK).
400 You should now create windows placed inside a wxStaticBox as children of
401 the static box itself.
402 - wxMouseState::{Left,Middle,Right}Down() were renamed to XXXIsDown() for
403 consistency with wxMouseEvent and the old names were deprecated.
404 - wxFont::SetNoAntiAliasing() was deprecated, it never really worked in most
405 ports and was always marked as "experimental" API. It will be replaced with
406 wxDC-level anti-aliasing control in the future.
407 - wxValidator::SetBellOnError() incorrectly interpreted its argument (it
408 disabled the bell when it was true) and was replaced by SuppressBellOnError()
409 with more expected semantics.
410 - wxPORTRAIT and wxLANDSCAPE are now elements of wxPrintOrientation enum and
411 wxPrintData::SetOrientation(int) takes wxPrintOrientation and not int.
412 - Second parameter of wxSlider::SetTickFreq(int n, int pos) is deprecated,
413 simply remove it from your code and use wxSlider::SetTickFreq(int n) as it
414 was never used anyhow.
415
416 Major new features in this release
417 ----------------------------------
418
419 - wxWidgets is now always built with Unicode support but provides the same
420 simple (i.e. "char *"-tolerant) API as was available in ANSI build in the
421 past.
422
423 - wxWidgets may now use either wchar_t (UTF-16/32) or UTF-8 internally,
424 depending on what is optimal for the target platform.
425
426 - New propgrid library containing wxPropertyGrid and related classes.
427
428 - new ribbon library for advanced toolbars.
429
430 - Many enhancements to wxDataViewCtrl.
431
432 - Event loops, timers and sockets can now be used in wxBase, without GUI.
433
434 - Events can now be connected to any functor, not necessarily a method of
435 wxEvtHandler-derived class. The compile-time safety was also improved.
436
437 - Documentation for wxWidgets has been converted from LaTex to C++ headers
438 with Doxygen comments and significantly improved in the process (screenshots
439 of various controls were added, more identifiers are now linked to their
440 definition &c). Any reports about inaccuracies in the documentation are
441 welcome (and due to using the simple Doxygen syntax it is now easier than
442 ever to submit patches correcting them! :-)
443
444 - Support for persistent objects automatically saving and restoring their state
445 was added.
446
447
448 2.9.3:
449 ------
450
451 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.9.2

2344 SQL_C_WXCHAR should be used rather than SQL_C_CHAR to ensure transparent
2345 behaviour between Unicode and non-unicode builds
2346 - BLOB example added to samples/db (thanks to Casey O'Donnell)
2347 - use wxStream::GetLength() instead of deprecated GetSize()
2348 - wxGetOsDescription() is now more precise (Olly Betts)
2349 - XRC supports system fonts and colours (Ray Gilbert)
2350 - Added flags argument to wxKill/wxProcess::Kill to kill child processes.
2351 - Added wxPrintFactory classes so that it is possible to add a new
2352 print system backend at run-time. This was required by the new GNOME
2353 printing stuff in the GTK port.
2354 - Deprecated print setup dialog.
2355 - Added support to the wxODBC classes for Firebird 1.5 database
2356 - The samples/db sample program now includes an optional example of using a BLOB
2357 datatype (if BLOB support is enabled and supported by the database)

2359 - wxGetPowerType() and wxGetBatteryState() addition
2360 - wxSystemSettings::GetSystem*() members deprecated and replaced with
2361 wxSystemSettings::Get*()
2362 - wxWindowBase::DoGetBestSize now includes the difference (if any) between
2363 the client size and total size of the window. Code that sets the
2364 client size using the best size, or that added extra space to sizers
2365 to compensate for this bug may need to be changed.
2366 - Changed calculation of scrolling area to not clip away some bits
2367 due to a rounding error.
2368 - Changed GetVirtualSize() to return client size by default until
2369 SetVirtualSize() gets called. From then on it will only return that.
2370 - Various changes to how wxListCtrl and wxTreeCtrl react to right
2371 mouse clicks and left mouse click for starting a drag operation.
2372 - "Alt" key (VK_MENU) now results in WXK_ALT keyboard event, not WXK_MENU
2373 - wxFFile::ReadAll() now takes an optional wxMBConv parameter
2374 - wxCommandProcessor::MarkAsSaved() and IsDirty() added (Angela Wrobel)

2386 - wxSizer::Add/Insert etc. now returns pointer to wxSizerItem just added and this
2387 item remembers its wxRect area (Brian A. Vanderburg II)
2388 - wxBookCtrl renamed to wxBookCtrlBase, wxBookCtrl is reserved for most native
2389 book control (for now wxChoicebook for MSSmartphone, wxNotebook for others).
2390 Necessary event macros, types and styles mapped accordingly.
2391 - new wxBrush::IsHatch() checking for brush type replaces IS_HATCH macro
2392 - wxProgressDialog accepts smooth gauge again (wxPD_SMOOTH style)
2393 - wxProgressDialog new style: wxPD_CAN_SKIP which provides skipping some parts
2394 of the progress (with new "Skip" button in dialog)

2404
2405 - Added printing support by way of using libgnomeprint. The library
2406 now checks at runtime, if the library is installed and will use it

2410 - fixed wxFileDialog::SetWildcard()
2411 - native file dialog is now used if available (Zbigniew Zagorski)
2412 - implemented wxTextCtrl::Freeze() and Thaw(). The GtkTextBuffer
2413 is not a valid one during frozen state. Get a pointer to it right
2414 after wxTextCtrl creation if you really need to. (Mart Raudsepp)
2415 - Changed calls to GTK+ 2.4.x functions so that the code checks at
2416 runtime, which library version is installed so that these functions
2417 are only called with GTK+ 2.4.x installed and should yield linker
2418 errors otherwise.
2419 - wxTextCtrl text insertion efficiency fixed. (Mart Raudsepp)
2420 - Added wxRawBitmap support
2421 - Corrected Input method handler code (for Chinese etc.) and its

2609 -----
2610
2611 All:
2612
2613 - Hindi translation added (Dhananjaya Sharma)
2614 - Brazilian Portuguese translation added (E. A. Tacao)
2615 - wxDynamicCast() now uses static_cast<wxObject *> internally and so using it
2616 with anything not deriving from wxObject will fail at compile time (instead
2617 of run-time) now
2618 - when wxUSE_STL == 1 and STL provides quasi-standard hash_map/hash_set,
2619 wxHashMap/wxHashSet are just typedefs for them. This makes impossible
2620 to forward declare these classes.
2621
2622 All (GUI):
2623
2624 - wxHtmlWindow now delays image scaling until rendering,
2625 resulting in much better display of scaled images
2626 - Added UpdateSize to wxSplitterWindow to allow layout while hidden
2627 - implemented Freeze/Thaw() for wxGenericTreeCtrl (Kevin Hock)
2628 - support for KOI8-U encoding added (Yuriy Tkachenko)
2629 - The old wxADJUST_MINSIZE behaviour is now the default behaviour for
2630 sizer items that are windows. This means that GetAdjustedBestSize
2631 will now be called by default to determine the minimum size that a
2632 window in a sizer should have. If you want to still use the initial
2633 size (and not the BestSize) then use the wxFIXED_MINSIZE flag. When
2634 windows are added to a sizer their initial size is made the window's
2635 min size using SetSizeHints, and calls to wxSizer::SetItemMinSize
2636 are also forwarded to SetSizeHints for window items.
2637 - added wxRegEx::GetMatchCount()
2638 - it is now possible to display images in wxHtmlListBox
2639
2640 wxMSW:
2641
2642 - wxWindow::Freeze()/Thaw() can now be nested

2644 XP theming (some applications look bad without 3D borders)
2645 - wxMenuBar::GetLabelTop() doesn't include '&'s in the label any more
2646 - wxRegConf couldn't read global settings without admin privileges and didn't
2647 even try to do it by default -- now it does
2648 - wxTaskBarIcon must be explicitly destroyed now, otherwise the application
2649 won't exit even though there are no top level windows
2650 - wxFileName::GetModificationTime() works with opened files too now
2651 - wxDC::GetClippingBox() now works even for clipping regions created by Windows

2658
2659 wxMotif:
2660
2661 - removed wxMenuItem::DeleteSubMenu()
2662 - wxButtons use Motif default size, which is smaller than it used to be
2663 and closer to wxMSW/wxGTK look. This can be disabled by setting
2664 motif.largebuttons system option to 1 (see wxSystemOptions).
2665
2666 wxUniv/X11:
2667
2668 - implemented DrawRoundedRectangle() (clawghoul)
2669
2670 wxHTML:

2676
2677 - fixed priorities of mailcap entries (David Hart)
2678 - added "wx-config --libs=std,<extra>" syntax (i.e. support for "std")
2679
2680 wxODBC:

2819
2820 - It is now possible to build several smaller libraries instead of single
2821 huge wxWidgets library; wxBase is now dependency of GUI ports rather then
2822 separately compiled library
2823 - added wxDateSpan::operator==() and !=() (Lukasz Michalski)
2824 - added wxFileName::GetForbiddenChars() (Dimitri Schoolwerth)
2825 - use true/false throughout the library instead of TRUE/FALSE
2826 - wxStopWatch::Start() resumes the stop watch if paused, as per the docs
2827 - added wxDirTraverser::OnOpenError() to customize the error handling
2828 - added wxArray::SetCount()
2829 - wxFile, wxFFile, wxTextFile and wxTempFile now all use UTF-8 encoding
2830 by default in Unicode mode
2831 - bug in wxDateTime with timezones on systems with tm_gmtoff in struct tm fixed
2832 - added wx/math.h (John Labenski)
2833 - added Catalan translations (Pau Bosch i Crespo)
2834 - added Ukrainian translations (Eugene Manko)
2835 - fixed bug with deleting entries at root level in wxFileConfig
2836 - chkconf.h now includes platform-specific versions (for MSW
2837 and Mac) which contain some tests that were in setup.h
2838 - added event sink argument to wxEvtHandler::Connect()
2839 - added support for POST method and alt ports to wxHTTP (Roger Chickering)
2840 - added wxSocket::IPAddress() (Chris Mellon)
2841 - wxDataStreams can read/write many elements at once (Mickael Gilabert)
2842 - added wxRecursionGuard class
2843 - added wxThreadHelper class (Daniel Howard)
2844 - Added STL support (--enable-stl for configure, wxUSE_STL in setup.h).
2845 When enabled, wxString will derive from std::string, wxArray from,
2846 std::vector, wxList from std::list. In addition wxHashTable will be
2847 implemented in terms of wxHashMap.
2848 - Added wxList::compatibility_iterator. Can be used like wxNode* (except
2849 it can't be delete()d). It permits writing code which will work
2850 both with wxUSE_STL==1 and wxUSE_STL==0.
2851
2852 wxBase:
2853
2854 - added Watcom makefiles

2884 - Added to defs.h a couple of macros (wxPtrToULong & wxULongToPtr)
2885 - Minor improvements to document/view framework, including
2886 delayed deletion of a document (until after the user has chosen
2887 a new document), and more intelligent addition of filenames to
2888 the file history, including not adding filenames if not using the
2889 default extension for the template
2890 - sped up wxImage::Scale using fixed point arithmetic (Wade Brainerd)
2891 - Added BLOB support to wxDB (John Skiff)

2897 to allow better rich text support.
2898 - implemented wxFlexGridSizer::Show() (Wade Brainerd)
2899 - Added m_ prefix to wxColourData and wxFontData members
2900 - Added wxHtmlPrintout::AddFilter so HTML printing can be subject to
2901 custom filters as well as HTML viewing.
2902 - Moved wxApp::SendIdleEvents and wxApp::ProcessIdle into common code.
2903 - wxWindow::OnInternalIdle is now used in all ports, and ensures that
2904 user OnIdle events do not interfere with crucial internal processing.
2905 - wxWindow::UpdateWindowUI is now a documented function that
2906 sends wxUpdateUIEvents, and can be overridden. It has a helper function
2907 DoUpdateWindowUI for taking appropriate wxUpdateUIEvent action.
2908 - Added functions to wxUpdateUIEvent: Set/GetMode, Set/GetUpdateInterval,
2909 CanUpdate, to assist with optimising update event frequency.
2910 - Added functions to wxIdleEvent: Set/GetMode, CanSend, to
2911 determine whether a window should receive idle events.
2912 - Added wxWS_EX_PROCESS_IDLE, wxWS_EX_PROCESS_UI_UPDATES window
2913 styles for use with conservative idle and update event modes.
2914 - send menu update events only when a menu is about to be used (MSW/GTK)
2915 - improved event processing performance (Hans Van Leemputten)
2916 - added wxMirrorDC class
2917 - printing improvements: GetPageInfo() gets called after the DC has
2918 been set and after OnPreparePrinting() has been called so it can
2919 report the number of pages accurately; doesn't try to set
2920 number of pages in print dialog, in common with other Windows apps;
2921 wxHTML easy printing's preview shows number of pages
2922 correctly; preview scrollbars are set correctly; keyboard navigation
2923 improved

2976 - when using DLL, wxLocalFSHandler was not being exported
2977 - fixed problem with wxEvtHandler object not removed from wxPendingEvents
2978 - Windows XP manifest is now included in wx.rc; it is no longer necessary
2979 to ship .exe.manifest file with applications to support XP themes
2980 - wxLocale::Init no longer reports error if trying to set Unicode-only locale
2981 or if user's default locale is Unicode-only
2982 - improved border handling under Windows XP
2983 - partial fix for wxNotebook pages looking bad under XP: wxUSE_UXTHEME
2984 enables XP theme engine code, and wxUSE_UXTHEME_AUTO tells

2994 does not support all the features other ports do); refer to wxFileDialog
2995 documentation for a detailed explanation
2996 - implemented wxWakeUpIdle
2997 - for Motif 2.0, used the native combobox widget instead of the GPL'd

3019 OLD CHANGES
3020 ===========
3021
3022 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.2.x
3023 ================================
3024
3025 Please take a few minutes to read the following list, especially
3026 paying attention to the most important changes which are marked
3027 with '!' in the first column.
3028
3029 Also please note that you should ensure that WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_2
3030 is defined to 1 if you wish to retain maximal compatibility with 2.2
3031 series -- however you are also strongly encouraged to try to compile
3032 your code without this define as it won't be default any longer in
3033 2.6 release.
3034
3035 NB: if you want to build your program with different major versions
3036 of wxWidgets you will probably find the wxCHECK_VERSION() macro
3037 (see the documentation) useful.
3038
3039
3040 wxBase:
3041
3042 ! wxArray<T>::Remove(size_t) has been removed to fix compilation problems
3043 under 64 bit architectures, please replace it with RemoveAt() in your
3044 code.
3045
3046 ! wxArray<T> macros have been changed to fix runtime problems under 64 bit
3047 architectures and as a side effect of this WX_DEFINE_ARRAY() can only be
3048 used now for the pointer types, WX_DEFINE_ARRAY_INT should be used for the
3049 arrays containing non-pointers.
3050
3051 - wxObject::CopyObject() and Clone() methods were removed because they
3052 simply don't make sense for all objects
3053
3054 - wxEvent now has a pure virtual Clone() method which must be implemented
3055 by all derived classes, if you have user-defined event classes please
3056 add "wxEvent *Clone() const { return new MyEvent(*this); }" line to them
3057
3058 - small change to wxStopWatch::Pause() semantics, please see the documentation
3059
3060 - unlikely but possible incompatibility: the definition of TRUE has changed
3061 from "1" to "(bool)1" (and the same thing for FALSE), so the code which
3062 could be erroneously compiled previously such as doing "return FALSE" from
3063 a function returning a pointer would stop compiling now (but this change
3064 is not supposed to have any effects on valid code)
3065
3066 - another minor change: wxApp::OnAssert() has a new "cond" argument, you
3067 must modify YourApp::OnAssert() signature if you were using it to override
3068 the default assert handling.
3069
3070 All (GUI):
3071
3072 ! the event type constants are not constants any more but are dynamically
3073 allocated during run-time which means that they can't be used as case labels
3074 in the switch()es, you must rewrite them to use if()s instead
3075
3076 You may also define WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_EVENT_TYPES to get the old behaviour
3077 but this is strongly discouraged, please consider changing your code
3078 instead!
3079
3080 ! wxDialog does not derive from wxPanel any longer - if you were using it in
3081 your code, please update it. The quick fix for the most cases is to replace
3082 the occurrences of wxPanel with wxWindow.
3083
3084 ! if you handle (and don't skip) EVT_KEY_DOWN, the EVT_CHAR event is not
3085 generated at all, so you must call event.Skip() in your OnKeyDown() if
3086 you want to get OnChar() as well
3087
3088 - in general, the key events sent for the various non ASCII key combinations
3089 have been changed to make them consistent over all supported platforms,
3090 please see the wxKeyEvent documentation for details
3091
3092 - wxYES_NO is now wxYES | wxNO and the manifest values of both wxYES and wxNO
3093 have changed (to fix some unfortunate clashes), please check your code to
3094 ensure that no tests for wxYES or wxNO are broken: for example, the following
3095 will *NOT* work any longer:
3096
3097 if ( flags & wxYES_NO )
3098 ... do something ...
3099 if ( flags & wxYES )
3100 ... do something else ...
3101
3102 - static wxWizard::Create() doesn't exist any more, the wizards are created
3103 in the same way as all the other wxWindow objects, i.e. by directly using
3104 the ctor
3105
3106 - wxGLCanvas now derives directly from wxWindow, not wxScrolledWindow
3107
3108 - wxGridCellAttrProvider class API changed, you will need to update your code
3109 if you derived any classes from it
3110
3111 - wxImage::ComputeHistogram()'s signature changed to
3112 unsigned long ComputeHistogram(wxImageHistogram&) const
3113
3114 - wxEvtHandler cannot be copied/assigned any longer - this never worked but
3115 now it results in compile-time error instead of run-time crashes
3116
3117 - WXK_NUMLOCK and WXK_SCROLL keys no longer result in EVT_CHAR() events,
3118 they only generate EVT_KEY_DOWN/UP() ones
3119
3120 - the dialogs use wxApp::GetTopWindow() as the parent implicitly if the
3121 parent specified is NULL, use wxDIALOG_NO_PARENT style to prevent this
3122 from happening
3123
3124 - several obsolete synonyms are only retained in WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_2 mode:
3125 for example, use wxScrolledWindow::GetViewStart() now instead of ViewStart()
3126 and GetCount() instead of Number() in many classes
3127
3128 - wxCmdLineParser does not use wxLog to output messages anymore.
3129 to obtain the previous behaviour, add
3130 wxMessageOutput::Set(new wxMessageOutputLog); to your program
3131 (you will need to #include <wx/msgout.h>)
3132
3133 wxMSW:
3134
3135 ! build system changed: setup.h is not a static file in include/wx any more
3136 but is created as part of the build process under lib/<toolkit>/wx
3137 where <toolkit> is of the form (msw|univ)[dll][u][d]. You'll need to update
3138 the include path in your make/project files appropriately. Furthermore,
3139 xpm.lib is no longer used by wxMSW, it was superseded by the wxXPMDecoder
3140 class. You'll need to remove all references to xpm.lib from your
3141 make/project files. Finally, the library names have changed as well and now
3142 use the following consistent naming convention: wxmsw[ver][u][d].(lib|dll)
3143 where 'u' appears for Unicode version, 'd' -- for the debug one and version
3144 is only present for the DLLs builds.
3145
3146 - child frames appear in the taskbar by default now, use wxFRAME_NO_TASKBAR
3147 style to avoid it
3148
3149 - all overloads of wxDC::SetClippingRegion() combine the given region with the
3150 previously selected one instead of replacing it
3151
3152 - wxGetHomeDir() uses HOME environment variable and if it is set will not
3153 return the programs directory any longer but its value (this function has
3154 never been meant to return the programs directory anyhow)
3155
3156 - wxHTML apps don't need to include wx/html/msw/wxhtml.rc in resources file
3157 anymore. The file was removed from wxMSW
3158
3159
3160 Unix ports:
3161
3162 ! You should use `wx-config --cxxflags` in your makefiles instead of
3163 `wx-config --cflags` for compiling C++ files. CXXFLAGS contains CFLAGS
3164 and the compiler flags for C++ files only, CFLAGS should still be used
3165 to compile pure C files.
3166
3167
3168 wxThread and related classes:
3169
3170 - The thread-related classes have been heavily changed since 2.2.x versions
3171 as the old code had many serious problems. This could have resulted in
3172 semantical changes other than those mentioned here, please review use of
3173 wxThread, wxMutex and wxCondition classes in your code.
3174
3175 ! wxCondition now *must* be used with a mutex, please read the (updated) class
3176 documentation for details and revise your code accordingly: this change was
3177 unfortunately needed as it was impossible to ensure the correct behaviour
3178 (i.e. absence of race conditions) using the old API.
3179
3180 - wxMutex is not recursive any more in POSIX implementation (it hasn't been
3181 recursive in 2.2.x but was in 2.3.1 and 2.3.2), please refer to the class
3182 documentation for the discussion of the recursive mutexes.
3183
3184 - wxMutex::IsLocked() doesn't exist any more and should have never existed:
3185 this is was unique example of a thread-unsafe-by-design method.
3186

3836
3837 - Fixed wxWindow::IsShown (::IsWindowVisible doesn't behave as
3838 expected).
3839 - Changed VC++ makefiles (.vc) so that it's possible to have
3840 debug/release/DLL versions of the library available simultaneously,
3841 with names wx.lib, wx_d.lib, wx200.lib(dll), wx200_d.lib(dll).
3842 - Added BC++ 5 IDE files and instructions.
3843 - Fixed wxChoice, wxComboBox constructor bugs (m_noStrings initialisation).
3844 - Fixed focus-related crash.
3845
3846 wxMotif:
3847
3848 - Cured asynchronous wxExecute crash.
3849 - Added repaint event handlers to wxFrame, wxMDIChildFrame.
3850
3851 General:
3852
3853 - wxLocale documented.
3854 - Added include filenames to class reference.
3855 - wxHelpController API changed: SetBrowser becomes SetViewer,
3856 DisplaySection works for WinHelp, help sample compiles under Windows
3857 (though doesn't display help yet).
3858
3859 Beta 4, February 12th 1999
3860 --------------------------
3861
3862 wxGTK:
3863
3864 - Miscellaneous fixes.
3865
3866 wxMSW:
3867
3868 - Makefiles for more compilers and samples; Cygwin makefiles
3869 rationalised.
3870 - Added VC++ project file for compiling wxWidgets as DLL.
3871
3872 wxMotif:
3873
3874 - Added OnEraseBackground invocation.
3875 - Added wxRETAINED implementation for wxScrolledWindow.
3876 - Cured scrolling display problem by adding XmUpdateDisplay.
3877 - Tried to make lex-ing in the makefile more generic (command line
3878 syntax should apply to both lex and flex).
3879 - Changed file selector colours for consistency (except for buttons:
3880 crashes for some reason).
3881 - Fixed wxMotif version of wxImage::ConvertToBitmap (used new instead
3882 of malloc, which causes memory problems).
3883
3884 General:
3885
3886 - Further doc improvements.
3887 - wxGenericValidator added.
3888 - Added wxImageModule to image.cpp, so adds/cleans up standard handlers
3889 automatically.
3890
3891 Beta 3, January 31st 1999
3892 -------------------------
3893
3894 wxGTK:
3895
3896 - wxClipboard/DnD API changes (still in progress).
3897 - wxToolTip class added.
3898 - Miscellaneous fixes.
3899
3900 wxMSW:
3901
3902 - wxRegConfig DeleteAll bug fixed.
3903 - Makefiles for more compilers.
3904 - TWIN32 support added.
3905 - Renamed VC++ makefiles from .nt to .vc, and
3906 factored out program/library settings.
3907 - Fixed wxIniConfig bug.
3908
3909 wxMotif:
3910
3911 - A few more colour fixes.
3912 - wxGLCanvas and OpenGL samples working.
3913 - Some compiler warnings fixed.

3924 --------------------
3925
3926 wxGTK:
3927
3928 wxMSW:
3929
3930 - 16-bit BC++ compilation/linking works albeit without the resource system.
3931
3932 wxMotif:
3933
3934 - Cured wxScreenDC origin problem so e.g. sash window sash is drawn at
3935 the right place.
3936 - Cured some widget table clashes.
3937 - Added thread support (Robert).
3938 - wxPoem sample now works.
3939
3940 General:
3941
3942 - Rearranged documentation a bit.
3943 - Sash window uses area of first frame/dialog to paint over when drawing
3944 the dragged sash, not just the sash window itself (it clipped to the right
3945 or below).
3946 - Made resource sample use the correct Cancel button id.
3947 - Moved wxProp to main library (generic directory), created proplist
3948 sample.
3949 - Added bombs and fractal samples.
3950
3951 Beta 1, December 24th 1998
3952 --------------------------
3953
3954 wxGTK:
3955
3956 - Various
3957
3958 wxMSW, wxMotif: not in sync with this release.
3959
3960
3961 Alpha 18, December 29th 1998
3962 ----------------------------
3963
3964 wxMSW:
3965
3966 - Win16 support working again (VC++ 1.5)
3967 - Win16 now uses generic wxNotebook, wxListCtrl,
3968 wxTreeCtrl -- more or less working now, although
3969 a little work on wxNotebook is still needed.
3970 Under 16-bit Windows, get assertion when you click
3971 on a tab.
3972 - Wrote 16-bit BC++ makefiles: samples don't yet link.
3973 - Added CodeWarrior support to distribution courtesy
3974 of Stefan Csomor.
3975
3976 wxMotif:
3977
3978 - Cured scrolling problem: scrollbars now show/hide themselves
3979 without (permanently) resizing the window.
3980 - Removed some commented-out lines in wxScrolledWindow::AdjustScrollbars
3981 that disabled scrollbar paging.
3982 - Set background colour of drawing area in wxWindow, so e.g. wxListCtrl
3983 colours correctly.
3984 - Removed major bug whereby dialogs were unmanaged automatically
3985 when any button was pressed.
3986 - Fixed colours of wxWindow scrollbars, made list and text controls
3987 have a white background.
3988 - Fixed dialog colour setting.
3989 - Added settable fonts and colours for wxMenu/wxMenuBar. Now
3990 they have sensible colours by default.
3991 - Fixed a bug in wxStaticBox.
3992 - Cured wxTreeCtrl bug: now works pretty well!
3993 - Debugged DrawEllipticArc (a ! in the wrong place).
3994 - Added SetClippingRegion( const wxRegion& region ).
3995 - Added wxPoint, wxSize, wxRect versions of SetSize etc.
3996
3997 Alpha 17, November 22nd 1998
3998 ----------------------------
3999
4000 wxMSW:
4001
4002 - More documentation updates, especially for
4003 wxLayoutWindow classes and debugging facilities.
4004 - Changed wxDebugContext to use wxDebugLog instead
4005 of wxTrace.
4006 - Now supports VC++ 6.0, and hopefully BC++ 5.0.
4007 However, DLL support may be broken for BC++ since
4008 VC++ 6 required changing of WXDLLEXPORT keyword
4009 position.
4010 - Numerous miscellaneous changes.
4011
4012 wxMotif:
4013
4014 - Reimplemented MDI using wxNotebook instead of the MDI widgets, which
4015 were too buggy (probably not design for dynamic addition/removal of
4016 child frames).
4017 - Some improvements to the wxNotebook implementation.
4018 - wxToolBar now uses a bulletin board instead of a form, in an attempt
4019 to make it possible to add ordinary wxControls to a toolbar.
4020 - Cured problem with not being able to use global memory operators,
4021 by defining two more global operators, so that the delete will match
4022 the debugging implementation.
4023 - Added wxUSE_DEBUG_NEW_ALWAYS so we can distinguish between using
4024 global memory operators (usually OK) and #defining new to be
4025 WXDEBUG_NEW (sometimes it might not be OK).
4026 - Added time.cpp to makefile; set wxUSE_DATETIME to 1.
4027 - Added a parent-existence check to popup menu code to make it not crash.
4028 - Added some optimization in wxWindow::SetSize to produce less flicker.
4029 It remains to be seen whether this produces any resize bugs.
4030
4031 It's a long time since I updated this file. Previously done:
4032
4033 - wxFrame, wxDialog done.
4034 - wxScrolledWindow done (but backing pixmap not used at present).
4035 - wxBitmap done though could be tidied it up at some point.
4036 - Most basic controls are there, if not rigorously tested.
4037 - Some MDI support (menus appear on child frames at present).
4038 - wxNotebook almost done.
4039 - wxToolBar done (horizontal only, which would be easy to extend
4040 to vertical toolbars).
4041
4042 More recently:
4043
4044 - Colour and font changing done (question mark over what happens
4045 to scrollbars).
4046 - Accelerators done (for menu items and buttons). Also event loop
4047 tidied up in wxApp so that events are filtered through ProcessXEvent.
4048 - wxWindow::GetUpdateRegion should now work.
4049
4050 Alpha 16, September 8th 1998
4051 ----------------------------
4052
4053 wxMSW:
4054
4055 - Added wxSashWindow, wxSashLayoutWindow classes, and sashtest
4056 sample.
4057 - Guilhem's socket classes added, plus wxsocket sample.
4058 - A few more makefiles added.
4059 - GnuWin32/BC++ compatibility mods.
4060 - Further doc updates.
4061 - wxProp updates for correct working with wxGTK.
4062
4063 wxMotif:
4064
4065 - First start at Motif port.
4066 - Made makefiles for wxMotif source directory and minimal sample.
4067 - First go at wxApp, wxWindow, wxDialog, wxPen, wxBrush, wxFont,
4068 wxColour, wxButton, wxCheckBox, wxTextCtrl, wxStaticText,
4069 wxMenu, wxMenuItem, wxMenuBar
4070
4071 Alpha 15, August 31st 1998
4072 --------------------------
4073
4074 wxMSW:
4075
4076 - wxBitmap debugged.
4077 - wxDC::GetDepth added.
4078 - Contribution added whereby wxBitmap will be
4079 converted to DC depth if they don't match.
4080 - wxConfig API improved, documentation updated.
4081 - Printing classes name conventions cleaned up.
4082 - wxUpdateUIEvent now derives from wxCommandEvent
4083 so event can travel up the window hierarchy.
4084
4085 Alpha 14, July 31st 1998
4086 ------------------------
4087
4088 wxMSW:
4089
4090 - Toolbar API has been simplified, and now
4091 wxFrame::GetClientArea returns the available client
4092 area when toolbar, status bar etc. have been accounted for.
4093 wxFrame::CreateToolBar added in line with CreateStatusBar.
4094 - Documentation updates, incl. for wxToolBar.
4095 - New wxAcceleratorTable class plus wxFrame::SetAcceleratorTable.
4096 - Various additions from other folk, e.g. streams, wxConfig
4097 changes, wxNotebook.
4098 - Added wxDocMDIParentFrame, wxDocMDIChildFrame for doc/view.
4099
4100 Alpha 13, July 8th 1998
4101 -----------------------
4102
4103 wxMSW:
4104
4105 - Implemented wxPoint as identical to POINT on Windows, and
4106 altered wxDC wxPoint functions to use wxPoint directly in
4107 Windows functions, for efficiency.
4108 - Cured wxASSERT bug in wxStatusBar95.
4109 - #ifdefed out some bits in oleutils.cpp for compilers that
4110 don't support it.
4111 - Added some operators to wxPoint, wxSize.
4112 - Added inline wxDC functions using wxPoint, wxSize, wxRect.
4113
4114 Alpha 12, July 7th 1998
4115 -----------------------
4116
4117 wxMSW:
4118
4119 - Added wxApp::GetComCtl32Version, and wxTB_FLAT style, so can
4120 have flat toolbars on Win98 or Win95 with IE >= 3 installed.
4121
4122 Alpha 11, July 3rd 1998
4123 -----------------------
4124
4125 wxMSW:
4126
4127 - Added thread.h, thread.cpp.
4128 - Changed Enabled, Checked to IsEnabled, IsChecked in wxMenu,
4129 wxMenuBar.
4130 - Changed wxMenuItem::SetBackColor to SetBackgroundColour,
4131 SetTextColor to SetTextColour, and added or made public several
4132 wxMenuItem accessors.
4133 - Added two overloads to wxRegion::Contains. Added
4134 wxRegion::IsEmpty for a more consistent naming convention.
4135 - Added Vadim's wxDataObject and wxDropSource.
4136 - ENTER/LEAVE events now work.
4137 - Cured wxMemoryDC bug where the DC wasn't being deleted.
4138 - Cured wxGauge SetSize major bugginess.
4139 - Cured problem where if a GDI object was created on the stack,
4140 then went out of scope, then another object was selected into
4141 the DC, GDI objects would leak. This is because the assignment
4142 to e.g. wxDC::m_pen would delete the GDI object without it first
4143 being selected out of the DC. Cured by selecting the old DC object
4144 first, then doing the assignment.
4145 - Split up wxGaugeMSW, wxGauge95, wxSliderMSW, wxSlider95
4146 - Various other bug fixes and additions.
4147
4148 Generic:
4149
4150 - Major work on Dialog Editor (still plenty to go).
4151 - Expanded documentation a bit more.
4152
4153 Alpha 10, May 7th 1998
4154 ----------------------
4155
4156 wxMSW:
4157
4158 - Added desiredWidth, desiredHeight parameters to wxBitmapHandler
4159 and wxIcon functions so that you can specify what size of
4160 icon should be loaded. Probably will remain a Windows-specific thing.
4161 - wxStatusBar95 now works for MDI frames.
4162 - Toolbars in MDI frames now behave normally. They still
4163 require application-supplied positioning code though.
4164 - Changed installation instructions, makefiles and batch files
4165 for compiling with Gnu-Win32/Mingw32/EGCS. Also timercmn.cpp
4166 change to support Mingw32/EGCS. Bison now used by default.
4167
4168 Alpha 9, April 27th 1998
4169 ------------------------
4170
4171 wxMSW:
4172
4173 - Cured bug in wxStatusBar95 that caused a crash if multiple
4174 fields were used.
4175 - Added Gnu-Win32 b19/Mingw32 support by changing resource
4176 compilation and pragmas.
4177 - Cured wxMenu bug introduced in alpha 8 - didn't respond to
4178 commands because VZ changed the id setting in wxMenu::MSWCommand.
4179
4180 Generic:
4181
4182 - Corrected some bugs, such as the wxModule compilation problem.
4183 - Added Gnu-Win32 b19/Mingw32 support by changing resource
4184 compilation and pragmas.
4185 - Changed SIZEOF to WXSIZEOF.
4186
4187 Alpha 8, April 17th 1998
4188 ------------------------
4189
4190 wxMSW:
4191
4192 - Added IsNull to wxGDIObject to check if the ref data is present or not.
4193 - Added PNG handler and sample - doesn't work for 16-bit PNGs for
4194 some reason :-(
4195 - Added wxJoystick class and event handling, and simple demo.
4196 - Added simple wxWave class. Needs Stop() function.
4197 - Added wxModule (module.h/module.cpp) to allow definition
4198 of modules to be initialized and cleaned up on wxWidgets
4199 startup/exit.
4200 - Start of Mingw32 compatibility (see minimal and dialogs samples
4201 makefile.m95 files, and install.txt).
4202 - Note: Windows printing has stopped working... will investigate.
4203 VADIM'S CHANGES:
4204 - Updated wxString: bug fixes, added wxArrayString, some
4205 compatibility functions.
4206 - Updated log.h/cpp, added wxApp::CreateLogTarget.
4207 - file.h: new wxTempFile class.
4208 - defs.h: added wxSB_SIZE_GRIP for wxStatusBar95
4209 - statbr95: wxStatusBar95 control.
4210 - registry.h/cpp: wxRegKey class for Win95 registry.
4211 - listbox.cpp: corrected some bugs with owner-drawn listboxes.
4212 - wxConfig and wxFileConfig classes.
4213
4214 Generic:
4215
4216 - Added src/other/png, src/other/zlib directories.
4217 - Added samples/png.
4218 - IMPORTANT: Changed 'no id' number from 0 to -1, in wxEVT_ macros.
4219 Porters, please check particularly your wxTreeCtrl and wxListCtrl
4220 header files.
4221 - Added modules.h/cpp, config.cpp, fileconf.cpp, textfile.cpp/h.
4222
4223 Alpha 7, March 30th 1998
4224 ------------------------
4225
4226 wxMSW:
4227
4228 - Added tab classes, tab sample.
4229 - Now can return FALSE from OnInit and windows will be
4230 cleaned up properly before exit.
4231 - Improved border handling so panels don't get borders
4232 automatically.
4233 - Debugged MDI activation from Window menu.
4234 - Changes to memory debug handling, including checking for
4235 memory leaks on application exit - but see issues.txt for
4236 unresolved issues.
4237 - Added wxTaskBarIcon (taskbar.cpp/h, plus samples/taskbar)
4238 to allow maintenance of an icon in the Windows 95 taskbar
4239 tray area.
4240 - Got MFC sample working (MFC and wxWidgets in the same
4241 application), partly by tweaking ntwxwin.mak settings.
4242 - Got DLL compilation working again (VC++).
4243 - Changed wxProp/Dialog Editor filenames.
4244
4245 Generic:
4246
4247 - Added tab classes, tab sample.
4248 - Revised memory.cpp, memory.h slightly; memory.h now #defines
4249 new to WXDEBUG_NEW in DEBUG mode. Windows implementation app.cpp
4250 now checks for leaks on exit. Added memcheck sample.
4251 See src/msw/issues.txt for more details.
4252 - resource.h, resource.cpp changed to make wxDefaultResourceTable
4253 a pointer. Now initialize resource system with
4254 wxInitializeResourceSystem and wxCleanUpResourceSystem, to
4255 allow better control of memory.
4256 - wxString now derives from wxObject, to enable memory leak
4257 checking.
4258 - Added some #include fixes in various files, plus changed
4259 float to long in wxToolBar files.
4260
4261 Alpha 6, March 10th 1998
4262 ------------------------
4263
4264 wxMSW:
4265
4266 - Found stack error bug - stopped unwanted OnIdle recursion.
4267 - Removed bug in wxTreeCtrl::InsertItem I added in alpha 5.
4268 - Changed exit behaviour in wxApp/wxFrame/wxDialog. Now will
4269 check if the number of top-level windows is zero before
4270 exiting. Also, wxApp::GetTopWindow will return either
4271 m_topWindow or the first member of wxTopLevelWindows, so you
4272 don't have to call wxApp::SetTopWindow.
4273 - Added dynarray.h/dynarray.cpp (from Vadim).
4274 - Added first cut at OLE drag and drop (from Vadim). dnd sample
4275 added. Drop target only at this stage. See src/msw/ole/*.cpp,
4276 wx/include/msw/ole/*.h. WIN32 only because of UUID usage.
4277 Doesn't work with GnuWin32 - no appropriate headers e.g. for
4278 IUnknown.
4279 Doesn't work with BC++ either - crashes on program startup.
4280 - Added Vadim's owner-draw modifications - will probably remain
4281 Windows-only. This enhances wxMenu, wxListBox. See ownerdrw sample.
4282 - Added wxLB_OWNERDRAW for owner-draw listboxes.
4283 - Vadim's wxCheckListBox derives from wxListBox. See checklst sample.
4284 Doesn't entirely work for WIN16.
4285 - Vadim has added wxMenuItem as a separate file menuitem.cpp. It
4286 can also be used as an argument to wxMenu::Append, not just for
4287 internal implementation.
4288 - Some #ifdefs done for MINGW32 compilation (just alter OPTIONS
4289 in makeg95.env, together with mingw32.bat). However, resource
4290 binding is not working yet so most apps with dialogs crash.
4291
4292 Generic:
4293
4294 - Added Vadim's dynarray.h, dynarray.cpp.
4295 - Added Vadim's menuitem.cpp.
4296 - Added Windows-specific wxCheckListBox,
4297 owner-draw wxListBox, and drag-and-drop
4298 (see docs/msw/changes.txt).
4299
4300 Alpha 5, 14th February 1998
4301 --------------------------
4302
4303 wxMSW:
4304
4305 - GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE
4306 DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to
4307 the Windows-specific code only. See docs/changes.txt for generic
4308 changes.
4309 - Removed Windows-specific reference counting system (GDI
4310 resources were cleaned up in idle time) - minimal
4311 advantages now we have a wxWin reference counting system.
4312 - Added missing WXDLLEXPORT keywords so DLL compilation works
4313 again.
4314 - Removed most warnings for GnuWin32 compilation.
4315 - Added wxRegion/wxRegionIterator, but haven't yet used it in
4316 e.g. wxDC.
4317
4318 Generic:
4319
4320 - GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE
4321 DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to
4322 the generic code only. See docs/msw/changes.txt for Windows-specific
4323 changes.
4324 - Readmes, change logs and installation files now go in
4325 platform-specific directories under docs, e.g. docs/msw,
4326 docs/gtk.
4327 - Added DECLARE_APP and IMPLEMENT_APP macros so wxApp object gets
4328 created dynamically, not as a global object.
4329 - Put wxColour into wx/msw/colour.h, src/msw/colour.cpp.
4330 - Changed names of some include/wx/generic headers to be
4331 consistent and to conform to gcc pragma conventions. Also
4332 changed choicesg.cpp to choicdgg.cpp.
4333 - Added gcc pragmas.
4334 - Added gtk inclusion in include/wx headers.
4335 - Added consistent file headings to source and headers.
4336 - Removed lang.cpp, lang.h and references to wxSTR_... variables;
4337 added a few references to wxTransString.
4338 - Added operator to wxTransString that converts automatically
4339 to wxString, so we can say e.g. wxMessageBox(wxTransString("Hello"), ...).
4340 - samples/internat now works (minimally).
4341 - Added wxMouseEvent::GetPosition and
4342 wxMouseEvent::GetLogicalPosition, both returning wxPoints.
4343 - Made wxSize and wxRect contain longs not ints.
4344 - Cured some memory leaks (thanks Vadim).
4345 - Tidied up OnIdle and introduced RequestMore/MoreRequested so
4346 will only keep processing OnIdle if it returns TRUE from
4347 MoreRequested.
4348
4349 Alpha 4, 31st January 1998
4350 --------------------------
4351
4352 All:
4353
4354 - Changed wxDC functions to take longs instead of floats. GetSize now takes
4355 integer pointers, plus a version that returns a wxSize.
4356 - const keyword added to various wxDC functions.
4357 - Under Windows, wxDC no longer has any knowledge of whether
4358 an associated window is scrolled or not. Instead, the device
4359 origin is set by wxScrolledWindow in wxScrolledWindow::PrepareDC.
4360 - wxScrolledWindow applications can optionally override the virtual OnDraw
4361 function instead of using the OnPaint event handler. The wxDC passed to
4362 OnDraw will be translated by PrepareDC to reflect scrolling.
4363 When drawing outside of OnDraw, must call PrepareDC explicitly.
4364 - wxToolBarBase/wxToolBarSimple similarly changed to allow for
4365 scrolling toolbars.
4366 - Integrated wxPostScriptDC patches for 1.xx by Chris Breeze,
4367 to help printing with multiple pages.
4368 - IPC classes given base classes (wxConnectionBase etc.) which
4369 define the API used by different implementations. DDE
4370 implementation updated to use these base classes.
4371 - wxHelpInstance now separated into wxHelpControllerBase (base
4372 for all implementations), wxWinHelpController (uses standard
4373 WinHelp), wxXLPHelpController (talks to wxHelp by DDE or
4374 TCP/IP). There will be others eventually, such as
4375 wxHTMLHelpController for Microsoft (and Netscape?) HTML Help.
4376 - Added Vadim Zeitlin's wxString class plus
4377 internationalization code (gettext simulation, wxLocale, etc.).
4378 New files from Vadim:
4379 include\wx\string.h
4380 include\wx\debug.h
4381 include\wx\file.h
4382 include\wx\log.h
4383 include\wx\intl.h
4384 src\common\string.cpp
4385 src\common\log.cpp
4386 src\common\intl.cpp
4387 src\common\file.cpp
4388 No longer use GNU wxString files.
4389 - Split off file-related functions into include\wx\filefn.h and
4390 src\common\filefn.cpp.
4391 - Borland C++ support (WIN32) for main library and
4392 samples, using makefile.b32 files.
4393 - Preparation done for allowing BC++ to compile wxWin as a DLL,
4394 including changes to defs.h.
4395 - wxIntPoint removed, wxPoint is now int, and wxRealPoint
4396 introduced.
4397 - Added wxShowEvent (generated when window is being shown or
4398 hidden).
4399 - Got minimal, docview, mdi samples working for 16-bit VC++ and
4400 cured 16-bit problem with wxTextCtrl (removed global memory
4401 trick).
4402 - Updated GnuWin32 makefiles, checked minimal, mdi, docview samples.
4403
4404 Alpha 3, September 1997
4405 -----------------------
4406
4407 All:
4408
4409 - wxListCtrl, wxTreeCtrl, wxImageList classes done.
4410 - Instigated new file hierarchy, split files and classes up more logically.
4411 - PrologIO and some other utils now put into core library.
4412 - Revamped print/preview classes, added wxPageSetupDialog.
4413 - Started documentation.
4414
4415 Alpha 2, 30th April 1997
4416 ------------------------
4417
4418 All:
4419
4420 - EVT_... macros now have at least one argument, for conformance
4421 with MetroWerks compiler.
4422 - Added ids to .wxr file format.
4423 - Got Dialog Editor compiled and running again but need
4424 to extend functionality to be in line with new controls.
4425 Added dialoged\test app to allow dynamic loading of .wxr files
4426 for testing purposes.
4427 - Rewrote wxBitmap to allow installable file type
4428 handlers.
4429 - Rewrote wxBitmapButton, wxStaticBitmap to not use Fafa.
4430 - Wrote most of wxTreeCtrl and sample (need wxImageList to implement it
4431 fully).
4432 - Added back wxRadioBox.
4433 - Tidied up wx_main.cpp, wxApp class, putting PenWin code in
4434 a separate file.
4435
4436 Alpha 1, 5th April 1997
4437 -----------------------
4438
4439 Generic:
4440
4441 At this point, the following has been achieved:
4442
4443 - A lot, but not all, of the code has been revamped for better
4444 naming conventions, protection of data members, and use of
4445 wxString instead of char *.
4446 - Obsolete functionality deleted (e.g. default wxPanel layout,
4447 old system event system) and code size reduced.
4448 - Class hierarchy changed (see design doc) - base classes such
4449 as wxbWindow now removed.
4450 - No longer includes windows.h in wxWin headers, by using stand-in
4451 Windows types where needed e.g. WXHWND.
4452 - PrologIO revised.
4453 - wxScrolledWindow, wxStatusBar and new MDI classes added.
4454 MDI is now achieved using separate classes, not window styles.
4455 - wxSystemSettings added, and made use of to reflect standard
4456 Windows settings.
4457 - SetButtonFont/SetLabelFont replaced by SetFont; font and colour
4458 settings mucho rationalised.
4459 - All windows are now subclassed with the same window proc to make
4460 event handling far more consistent. Old internal wxWnd and derived
4461 classes removed.
4462 - API for controls revised, in particular addition of
4463 wxValidator parameters and removal of labels for some controls.
4464 - 1 validator written: see examples/validate.
4465 - Event table system introduced (see most samples and
4466 wx_event.cpp/ProcessEvent, wx_event.h). wxEvtHandler
4467 made more flexible, with Push/PopEventHandler allowing a chain
4468 of event handlers.
4469 - wxRadioBox removed - will be added back soon.
4470 - Toolbar class hierarchy revised:
4471 wxToolBarBase
4472 wxToolBarSimple (= old wxToolBar)
4473 wxToolBar95 (= old wxButtonBar under Win95)
4474 wxToolBarMSW (= old wxButtonBar under WIN16/WIN32)
4475 - Constraint system debugged somewhat (sizers now work properly).
4476 - wxFileDialog, wxDirDialog added; other common dialogs now
4477 have class equivalents. Generic colour and font dialogs
4478 rewritten to not need obsolete panel layout.
4479 - .wxr resource system partially reinstated, though needs
4480 an integer ID for controls. Hopefully the resource system
4481 will be replaced by something better and more efficient
4482 in the future.
4483 - Device contexts no longer stored with window and accessed
4484 with GetDC - use wxClientDC, wxPaintDC, wxWindowDC stack
4485 variables instead.
4486 - wxSlider uses trackbar class under Win95, and wxSL_LABELS flag
4487 determines whether labels are shown. Other Win95-specific flags
4488 introduced, e.g. for showing ticks.
4489 - Styles introduced for dealing with 3D effects per window, for
4490 any window: all Win95 3D effects supported, plus transparent windows.
4491 - Major change to allow 3D effect support without CTL3D, under
4492 Win95.
4493 - Bitmap versions of button and checkbox separated out into new
4494 classes, but unimplemented as yet because I intend to remove
4495 the need for Fafa - it apparently causes GPFs in Win95 OSR 2.
4496 - utils/wxprop classes working (except maybe wxPropertyFormView)
4497 in preparation for use in Dialog Editor.
4498 - GNU-WIN32 compilation verified (a month or so ago).
