202 Beta 1, December 24th 1998
203 --------------------------
209 wxMSW, wxMotif: not in sync with this release.
212 Alpha 18, December 29th 1998
213 ----------------------------
217 - Win16 support working again (VC++ 1.5)
218 - Win16 now uses generic wxNotebook, wxListCtrl,
219 wxTreeCtrl -- more or less working now, although
220 a little work on wxNotebook is still needed.
221 Under 16-bit Windows, get assertion when you click
223 - Wrote 16-bit BC++ makefiles: samples don't yet link.
224 - Added CodeWarrior support to distribution courtesy
229 - Cured scrolling problem: scrollbars now show/hide themselves
230 without (permanently) resizing the window.
231 - Removed some commented-out lines in wxScrolledWindow::AdjustScrollbars
232 that disabled scrollbar paging.
233 - Set background colour of drawing area in wxWindow, so e.g. wxListCtrl
235 - Removed major bug whereby dialogs were unmanaged automatically
236 when any button was pressed.
237 - Fixed colours of wxWindow scrollbars, made list and text controls
238 have a white background.
239 - Fixed dialog colour setting.
240 - Added settable fonts and colours for wxMenu/wxMenuBar. Now
241 they have sensible colours by default.
242 - Fixed a bug in wxStaticBox.
243 - Cured wxTreeCtrl bug: now works pretty well!
244 - Debugged DrawEllipticArc (a ! in the wrong place).

246 - Added wxPoint, wxSize, wxRect versions of SetSize etc.
248 Alpha 17, November 22nd 1998
249 ----------------------------
253 - More documentation updates, especially for
254 wxLayoutWindow classes and debugging facilities.
255 - Changed wxDebugContext to use wxDebugLog instead
257 - Now supports VC++ 6.0, and hopefully BC++ 5.0.
258 However, DLL support may be broken for BC++ since
259 VC++ 6 required changing of WXDLLEXPORT keyword
261 - Numerous miscellaneous changes.
265 - Reimplemented MDI using wxNotebook instead of the MDI widgets, which
266 were too buggy (probably not design for dynamic addition/removal of
268 - Some improvements to the wxNotebook implementation.
269 - wxToolBar now uses a bulletin board instead of a form, in an attempt
270 to make it possible to add ordinary wxControls to a toolbar.
271 - Cured problem with not being able to use global memory operators,
272 by defining two more global operators, so that the delete will match
273 the debugging implementation.
274 - Added wxUSE_DEBUG_NEW_ALWAYS so we can distinguish between using
275 global memory operators (usually OK) and #defining new to be
276 WXDEBUG_NEW (sometimes it might not be OK).
277 - Added time.cpp to makefile; set wxUSE_DATETIME to 1.
278 - Added a parent-existance check to popup menu code to make it not crash.
279 - Added some optimization in wxWindow::SetSize to produce less flicker.
280 It remains to be seen whether this produces any resize bugs.
282 It's a long time since I updated this file. Previously done:
284 - wxFrame, wxDialog done.
285 - wxScrolledWindow done (but backing pixmap not used at present).
286 - wxBitmap done though could be tidied it up at some point.
287 - Most basic controls are there, if not rigorously tested.
288 - Some MDI support (menus appear on child frames at present).
289 - wxNotebook almost done.
290 - wxToolBar done (horizontal only, which would be easy to extend
291 to vertical toolbars).
295 - Colour and font changing done (question mark over what happens
297 - Accelerators done (for menu items and buttons). Also event loop
298 tidied up in wxApp so that events are filtered through ProcessXEvent.
299 - wxWindow::GetUpdateRegion should now work.
301 Alpha 16, September 8th 1998
302 ----------------------------
306 - Added wxSashWindow, wxSashLayoutWindow classes, and sashtest

316 - First start at Motif port.
317 - Made makefiles for wxMotif source directory and minimal sample.
318 - First go at wxApp, wxWindow, wxDialog, wxPen, wxBrush, wxFont,
319 wxColour, wxButton, wxCheckBox, wxTextCtrl, wxStaticText,
320 wxMenu, wxMenuItem, wxMenuBar
322 Alpha 15, August 31st 1998
323 --------------------------
328 - wxDC::GetDepth added.
329 - Contribution added whereby wxBitmap will be
330 converted to DC depth if they don't match.
331 - wxConfig API improved, documentation updated.
332 - Printing classes name conventions cleaned up.
333 - wxUpdateUIEvent now derives from wxCommandEvent
334 so event can travel up the window hierachy.
336 Alpha 14, July 31st 1998
337 ------------------------
341 - Toolbar API has been simplified, and now
342 wxFrame::GetClientArea returns the available client
343 area when toolbar, status bar etc. have been accounted for.
344 wxFrame::CreateToolBar added in line with CreateStatusBar.
345 - Documentation updates, incl. for wxToolBar.
346 - New wxAcceleratorTable class plus wxFrame::SetAcceleratorTable.
347 - Various additions from other folk, e.g. streams, wxConfig
349 - Added wxDocMDIParentFrame, wxDocMDIChildFrame for doc/view.
351 Alpha 13, July 8th 1998
352 -----------------------
356 - Implemented wxPoint as identical to POINT on Windows, and
357 altered wxDC wxPoint functions to use wxPoint directly in
358 Windows functions, for efficiency.
359 - Cured wxASSERT bug in wxStatusBar95.
360 - #ifdefed out some bits in oleutils.cpp for compilers that
362 - Added some operators to wxPoint, wxSize.
363 - Added inline wxDC functions using wxPoint, wxSize, wxRect.
365 Alpha 12, July 7th 1998
366 -----------------------
370 - Added wxApp::GetComCtl32Version, and wxTB_FLAT style, so can
371 have flat toolbars on Win98 or Win95 with IE >= 3 installed.
373 Alpha 11, July 3rd 1998
374 -----------------------
378 - Added thread.h, thread.cpp.
379 - Changed Enabled, Checked to IsEnabled, IsChecked in wxMenu,
381 - Changed wxMenuItem::SetBackColor to SetBackgroundColour,
382 SetTextColor to SetTextColour, and added or made public several
383 wxMenuItem accessors.
384 - Added two overloads to wxRegion::Contains. Added
385 wxRegion::IsEmpty for a more consistent naming convention.
386 - Added Vadim's wxDataObject and wxDropSource.
387 - ENTER/LEAVE events now work.
388 - Cured wxMemoryDC bug where the DC wasn't being deleted.
389 - Cured wxGauge SetSize major bugginess.
390 - Cured problem where if a GDI object was created on the stack,
391 then went out of scope, then another object was selected into
392 the DC, GDI objects would leak. This is because the assignment
393 to e.g. wxDC::m_pen would delete the GDI object without it first
394 being selected out of the DC. Cured by selecting the old DC object
395 first, then doing the assignment.
396 - Split up wxGaugeMSW, wxGauge95, wxSliderMSW, wxSlider95
397 - Various other bug fixes and additions.
401 - Major work on Dialog Editor (still plenty to go).
402 - Expanded documentation a bit more.
404 Alpha 10, May 7th 1998
405 ----------------------
409 - Added desiredWidth, desiredHeight parameters to wxBitmapHandler
410 and wxIcon functions so that you can specify what size of
411 icon should be loaded. Probably will remain a Windows-specific thing.
412 - wxStatusBar95 now works for MDI frames.
413 - Toolbars in MDI frames now behave normally. They still
414 require application-supplied positioning code though.
415 - Changed installation instructions, makefiles and batch files
416 for compiling with Gnu-Win32/Mingw32/EGCS. Also timercmn.cpp
417 change to support Mingw32/EGCS. Bison now used by default.
419 Alpha 9, April 27th 1998
420 ------------------------
424 - Cured bug in wxStatusBar95 that caused a crash if multiple
426 - Added Gnu-Win32 b19/Mingw32 support by changing resource
427 compilation and pragmas.
428 - Cured wxMenu bug introduced in alpha 8 - didn't respond to
429 commands because VZ changed the id setting in wxMenu::MSWCommand.
433 - Corrected some bugs, such as the wxModule compilation problem.
434 - Added Gnu-Win32 b19/Mingw32 support by changing resource
435 compilation and pragmas.
436 - Changed SIZEOF to WXSIZEOF.
438 Alpha 8, April 17th 1998
439 ------------------------
443 - Added IsNull to wxGDIObject to check if the ref data is present or not.
444 - Added PNG handler and sample - doesn't work for 16-bit PNGs for
446 - Added wxJoystick class and event handling, and simple demo.
447 - Added simple wxWave class. Needs Stop() function.
448 - Added wxModule (module.h/module.cpp) to allow definition
449 of modules to be initialized and cleaned up on wxWindows
451 - Start of Mingw32 compatibility (see minimal and dialogs samples
452 makefile.m95 files, and install.txt).
453 - Note: Windows printing has stopped working... will investigate.
455 - Updated wxString: bug fixes, added wxArrayString, some
456 compatibility functions.
457 - Updated log.h/cpp, added wxApp::CreateLogTarget.
458 - file.h: new wxTempFile class.
459 - defs.h: added wxSB_SIZE_GRIP for wxStatusBar95
460 - statbr95: wxStatusBar95 control.
461 - registry.h/cpp: wxRegKey class for Win95 registry.
462 - listbox.cpp: corrected some bugs with owner-drawn listboxes.
463 - wxConfig and wxFileConfig classes.
467 - Added src/other/png, src/other/zlib directories.
469 - IMPORTANT: Changed 'no id' number from 0 to -1, in wxEVT_ macros.
470 Porters, please check particularly your wxTreeCtrl and wxListCtrl
472 - Added modules.h/cpp, config.cpp, fileconf.cpp, textfile.cpp/h.
474 Alpha 7, March 30th 1998
475 ------------------------
479 - Added tab classes, tab sample.
480 - Now can return FALSE from OnInit and windows will be
481 cleaned up properly before exit.
482 - Improved border handling so panels don't get borders
484 - Debugged MDI activation from Window menu.
485 - Changes to memory debug handling, including checking for
486 memory leaks on application exit - but see issues.txt for
488 - Added wxTaskBarIcon (taskbar.cpp/h, plus samples/taskbar)
489 to allow maintenance of an icon in the Windows 95 taskbar
491 - Got MFC sample working (MFC and wxWindows in the same
492 application), partly by tweaking ntwxwin.mak settings.
493 - Got DLL compilation working again (VC++).
494 - Changed wxProp/Dialog Editor filenames.
498 - Added tab classes, tab sample.
499 - Revised memory.cpp, memory.h slightly; memory.h now #defines
500 new to WXDEBUG_NEW in DEBUG mode. Windows implementation app.cpp
501 now checks for leaks on exit. Added memcheck sample.
502 See src/msw/issues.txt for more details.
503 - resource.h, resource.cpp changed to make wxDefaultResourceTable
504 a pointer. Now initialize resource system with
505 wxInitializeResourceSystem and wxCleanUpResourceSystem, to
506 allow better control of memory.
507 - wxString now derives from wxObject, to enable memory leak
509 - Added some #include fixes in various files, plus changed
510 float to long in wxToolBar files.
512 Alpha 6, March 10th 1998
513 ------------------------
517 - Found stack error bug - stopped unwanted OnIdle recursion.
518 - Removed bug in wxTreeCtrl::InsertItem I added in alpha 5.
519 - Changed exit behaviour in wxApp/wxFrame/wxDialog. Now will
520 check if the number of top-level windows is zero before
521 exiting. Also, wxApp::GetTopWindow will return either
522 m_topWindow or the first member of wxTopLevelWindows, so you
523 don't have to call wxApp::SetTopWindow.
524 - Added dynarray.h/dynarray.cpp (from Vadim).
525 - Added first cut at OLE drag and drop (from Vadim). dnd sample
526 added. Drop target only at this stage. See src/msw/ole/*.cpp,
527 wx/include/msw/ole/*.h. WIN32 only because of UUID usage.
528 Doesn't work with GnuWin32 - no appropriate headers e.g. for
530 Doesn't work with BC++ either - crashes on program startup.
531 - Added Vadim's owner-draw modifications - will probably remain
532 Windows-only. This enhances wxMenu, wxListBox. See ownerdrw sample.
533 - Added wxLB_OWNERDRAW for owner-draw listboxes.
534 - Vadim's wxCheckListBox derives from wxListBox. See checklst sample.
535 Doesn't entirely work for WIN16.
536 - Vadim has added wxMenuItem as a separate file menuitem.cpp. It
537 can also be used as an argument to wxMenu::Append, not just for
538 internal implementation.
539 - Some #ifdefs done for MINGW32 compilation (just alter OPTIONS
540 in makeg95.env, together with mingw32.bat). However, resource
541 binding is not working yet so most apps with dialogs crash.
545 - Added Vadim's dynarray.h, dynarray.cpp.
546 - Added Vadim's menuitem.cpp.
547 - Added Windows-specific wxCheckListBox,
548 owner-draw wxListBox, and drag-and-drop
549 (see docs/msw/changes.txt).
551 Alpha 5, 14th February 1998
552 --------------------------
556 - GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE
557 DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to
558 the Windows-specific code only. See docs/changes.txt for generic
560 - Removed Windows-specific reference counting system (GDI
561 resources were cleaned up in idle time) - minimal
562 advantages now we have a wxWin reference counting system.
563 - Added missing WXDLLEXPORT keywords so DLL compilation works
565 - Removed most warnings for GnuWin32 compilation.
566 - Added wxRegion/wxRegionIterator, but haven't yet used it in
571 - GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE
572 DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to
573 the generic code only. See docs/msw/changes.txt for Windows-specific
575 - Readmes, change logs and installation files now go in
576 platform-specific directories under docs, e.g. docs/msw,
578 - Added DECLARE_APP and IMPLEMENT_APP macros so wxApp object gets
579 created dynamically, not as a global object.
580 - Put wxColour into wx/msw/colour.h, src/msw/colour.cpp.
581 - Changed names of some include/wx/generic headers to be
582 consistent and to conform to gcc pragma conventions. Also
583 changed choicesg.cpp to choicdgg.cpp.
585 - Added gtk inclusion in include/wx headers.
586 - Added consistent file headings to source and headers.
587 - Removed lang.cpp, lang.h and references to wxSTR_... variables;
588 added a few references to wxTransString.
589 - Added operator to wxTransString that converts automatically
590 to wxString, so we can say e.g. wxMessageBox(wxTransString("Hello"), ...).
591 - samples/internat now works (minimally).
592 - Added wxMouseEvent::GetPosition and
593 wxMouseEvent::GetLogicalPosition, both returning wxPoints.
594 - Made wxSize and wxRect contain longs not ints.
595 - Cured some lemory leaks (thanks Vadim).
596 - Tidied up OnIdle and introduced RequestMore/MoreRequested so
597 will only keep processing OnIdle if it returns TRUE from
600 Alpha 4, 31st January 1998
601 --------------------------
605 - Changed wxDC functions to take longs instead of floats. GetSize now takes
606 integer pointers, plus a version that returns a wxSize.
607 - const keyword added to various wxDC functions.
608 - Under Windows, wxDC no longer has any knowledge of whether
609 an associated window is scrolled or not. Instead, the device
610 origin is set by wxScrolledWindow in wxScrolledWindow::PrepareDC.
611 - wxScrolledWindow applications can optionally override the virtual OnDraw
612 function instead of using the OnPaint event handler. The wxDC passed to
613 OnDraw will be translated by PrepareDC to reflect scrolling.
614 When drawing outside of OnDraw, must call PrepareDC explicitly.
615 - wxToolBarBase/wxToolBarSimple similarly changed to allow for
617 - Integrated wxPostScriptDC patches for 1.xx by Chris Breeze,
618 to help printing with multiple pages.
619 - IPC classes given base classes (wxConnectionBase etc.) which
620 define the API used by different implementations. DDE
621 implementation updated to use these base classes.
622 - wxHelpInstance now separated into wxHelpControllerBase (base
623 for all implementations), wxWinHelpController (uses standard
624 WinHelp), wxXLPHelPController (talks to wxHelp by DDE or
625 TCP/IP). There will be others eventually, such as
626 wxHTMLHelpController for Microsoft (and Netscape?) HTML Help.
627 - Added Vadim Zeitlin's wxString class plus
628 internationalization code (gettext simulation, wxLocale, etc.).
629 New files from Vadim:
635 src\common\string.cpp
639 No longer use GNU wxString files.
640 - Split off file-related functions into include\wx\filefn.h and
641 src\common\filefn.cpp.
642 - Borland C++ support (WIN32) for main library and
643 samples, using makefile.b32 files.
644 - Preparation done for allowing BC++ to compile wxWin as a DLL,
645 including changes to defs.h.
646 - wxIntPoint removed, wxPoint is now int, and wxRealPoint
648 - Added wxShowEvent (generated when window is being shown or
650 - Got minimal, docview, mdi samples working for 16-bit VC++ and
651 cured 16-bit problem with wxTextCtrl (removed global memory
653 - Updated GnuWin32 makefiles, checked minimal, mdi, docview samples.
655 Alpha 3, September 1997
656 -----------------------
660 - wxListCtrl, wxTreeCtrl, wxImageList classes done.
661 - Instigated new file hierarchy, split files and classes up more logically.
662 - PrologIO and some other utils now put into core library.
663 - Revamped print/preview classes, added wxPageSetupDialog.
664 - Started documentation.
666 Alpha 2, 30th April 1997
667 ------------------------
671 - EVT_... macros now have at least one argument, for conformance
672 with MetroWerks compiler.
673 - Added ids to .wxr file format.
674 - Got Dialog Editor compiled and running again but need
675 to extend functionality to be in line with new controls.
676 Added dialoged\test app to allow dynamic loading of .wxr files
677 for testing purposes.
678 - Rewrote wxBitmap to allow installable file type
680 - Rewrote wxBitmapButton, wxStaticBitmap to not use Fafa.
681 - Wrote most of wxTreeCtrl and sample (need wxImageList to implement it
683 - Added back wxRadioBox.
684 - Tidied up wx_main.cpp, wxApp class, putting PenWin code in
687 Alpha 1, 5th April 1997
688 -----------------------
692 At this point, the following has been achieved:
694 - A lot, but not all, of the code has been revamped for better
695 naming conventions, protection of data members, and use of
696 wxString instead of char *.
697 - Obsolete functionality deleted (e.g. default wxPanel layout,
698 old system event system) and code size reduced.
699 - Class hierarchy changed (see design doc) - base classes such
700 as wxbWindow now removed.
701 - No longer includes windows.h in wxWin headers, by using stand-in
702 Windows types where needed e.g. WXHWND.
704 - wxScrolledWindow, wxStatusBar and new MDI classes added.
705 MDI is now achived using separate classes, not window styles.
706 - wxSystemSettings added, and made use of to reflect standard
708 - SetButtonFont/SetLabelFont replaced by SetFont; font and colour
709 settings mucho rationalised.
710 - All windows are now subclassed with the same window proc to make
711 event handling far more consistent. Old internal wxWnd and derived
713 - API for controls revised, in particular addition of
714 wxValidator parameters and removal of labels for some controls.
715 - 1 validator written: see examples/validate.
716 - Event table system introduced (see most samples and
717 wx_event.cpp/ProcessEvent, wx_event.h). wxEvtHandler
718 made more flexible, with Push/PopEventHandler allowing a chain
720 - wxRadioBox removed - will be added back soon.
721 - Toolbar class hierarchy revised:
723 wxToolBarSimple (= old wxToolBar)
724 wxToolBar95 (= old wxButtonBar under Win95
725 wxToolBarMSW (= old wxButtonBar under WIN16/WIN32)
726 - Constraint system debugged somewhat (sizers now work properly).
727 - wxFileDialog, wxDirDialog added; other common dialogs now
728 have class equivalents. Generic colour and font dialogs
729 rewritten to not need obsolete panel layout.
730 - .wxr resource system partially reinstated, though needs
731 an integer ID for controls. Hopefully the resource system
732 will be replaced by something better and more efficient
734 - Device contexts no longer stored with window and accessed
735 with GetDC - use wxClientDC, wxPaintDC, wxWindowDC stack
737 - wxSlider uses trackbar class under Win95, and wxSL_LABELS flag
738 determines whether labels are shown. Other Win95-specific flags
739 introduced, e.g. for showing ticks.
740 - Styles introduced for dealing with 3D effects per window, for
741 any window: all Win95 3D effects supported, plus transparent windows.
742 - Major change to allow 3D effect support without CTL3D, under
744 - Bitmap versions of button and checkbox separated out into new
745 classes, but unimplemented as yet because I intend to remove
746 the need for Fafa - it apparently causes GPFs in Win95 OSR 2.
747 - utils/wxprop classes working (except maybe wxPropertyFormView)
748 in preparation for use in Dialog Editor.
749 - GNU-WIN32 compilation verified (a month or so ago).
