   5 2.5.4
   6 -----
   7
   8 All:
   9
  10 - wxEvent and derived classes don't have public members any more, you must
  11   use accessors methods now (Mart Raudsepp)
  12 - new classes for reading and writing ZIP files (M.J.Wetherell)
  13 - large files support for wxFFile (M.J.Wetherell)
  14 - classes in the manual are now cross-referenced (Zbigniew Zagórski)
  15 - Norwegian (Bokmål) translation added (Hans F. Nordhaug)
  16 - wxDynamicLibrary::HasSymbol() added
  17 - added wxEXEC_NODISABLE flag to be used with wxExecute(wxEXEC_SYNC)
  18 - added wxTextInputStream::operator>>(wchar_t) for compilers which support this
  19 - added wxURI, a class for dealing with Uniform Resource Identifiers
  20 - changed wxURL to inherit from wxURI and provide assignment and comparison
  21 - implemented wxConvUTF7 (modified patch from Fredrik Roubert)
  22 - added versions of MB2WC and WC2MB for wxMBConv that for embedded null chars
  23 - Unicode support in wxODBC is now fully implemented
  24 - A new data type specific to wxWidgets called SQL_C_WXCHAR has been introduced.
  25   SQL_C_WXCHAR should be used rather than SQL_C_CHAR to ensure transparent
  26   behavior between Unicode and non-unicode builds
  27 - BLOB example added to samples/db (thanks to Casey ODonnell)
  28 - use wxStream::GetLength() instead of deprecated GetSize()
  29 - wxGetOsDescription() is now more precise (Olly Betts)
  30 - XRC supports system fonts and colours (Ray Gilbert)
  31 - Added flags argument to wxKill/wxProcess::Kill to kill child processes.
  32 - Added wxPrintFactory classes so that it is possible to add a new
  33   print system backend at run-time. This was required by the new GNOME
  34   printing stuff in the GTK port.
  35 - Deprecated print setup dialog.
  36 - Added support to the wxODBC classes for Firebird 1.5 database
  37 - The samples\db sample program now includes an optional example of using a BLOB
  38   datatype (if BLOB support is enabled and supported by the database)
  39 - added wxDynamicLibrary::ListLoaded()
  40 - wxGetPowerType() and wxGetBatteryState() addition
  41 - wxSystemSettings::GetSystem*() members deprecated and replaced with
  42   wxSystemSettings::Get*()
  43 - wxWindowBase::DoGetBestSize now includes the difference (if any) between
  44   the client size and total size of the window.  Code that sets the
  45   client size using the best size, or that added extra space to sizers
  46   to compensate for this bug may need to be changed.
  47 - Changed calculation of scrolling area to not clip away some bits
  48   due to a rounding error.
  49 - Changed GetVirtualSize() to return client size by default until
  50   SetVirtualSize() gets called. From then on it will only return
  51   that.
  52 - Various changes to how wxListCtrl and wxTreeCtrl react to right
  53   mouse clicks and left mouse click for starting a drag operation.
  54
  55
  56 All (GUI):
  57
  58 - added wxMediaCtrl
  59 - added wxDatePickerCtrl
  60 - wxHtmlWindow now supports background images given in <body> tag
  61 - wxSplitterWindow now supports gravity parameter (Zbigniew Zagórski)
  62 - recursive wxSizer::GetItem returns item of given window, sizer or nth index
  63 - wxLayoutConstraints now use best size, not current size, for AsIs() condition
  64 - wxSizer::Add/Insert etc. now returns pointer to wxSizerItem just added and this
  65   item remembers its wxRect area (Brian A. Vanderburg II)
  66 - wxBookCtrl renamed to wxBookCtrlBase, wxBookCtrl is reserved for most native
  67   book control (for now wxChoicebook for MSSmartphone, wxNotebook for others).
  68   Necessary event macros, types and styles mapped accordingly.
  69 - new wxBrush::IsHatch() checking for brush type replaces IS_HATCH macro
  70 - wxProgressDialog accepts smooth gauge again (wxPD_SMOOTH style)
  71 - wxProgressDialog new style: wxPD_CAN_SKIP which provides skipping some parts
  72   of the progress (with new "Skip" button in dialog)
  73
  74 Unix:
  75
  76 - wxPuts() now correctly outputs trailing new line in Unicode build
  77
  78 wxGTK:
  79
  80 - Added printing support by way of using libgnomeprint. The library
  81   now checks at runtime, if the library is installed and will use it
  82   if it is. Otherwise, it will fall back to the old PostScript printing
  83   code, from which the Pango drawing code was removed.
  84 - Implemented/improved wxDC::DrawRotatedText()
  85 - fixed wxFileDialog::SetWildcard()
  86 - native file dialog is now used if available (Zbigniew Zagorski)
  87 - implemented wxTextCtrl::Freeze() and Thaw(). The GtkTextBuffer
  88   is not a valid one during frozen state. Get a pointer to it right
  89   after wxTextCtrl creation if you really need to. (Mart Raudsepp)
  90 - Changed calls to GTK+ 2.4.x functions so that the code checks at
  91   runtime, which library version is installed so that these functions
  92   are only called with GTK+ 2.4.x installed and should yield linker
  93   errors otherwise.
  94 - wxTextCtrl text insertion efficiency fixed. (Mart Raudsepp)
  95 - Added wxRawBitmap support
  96 - Corrected Input method handler code (for Chinese etc.) and its
  97   interaction with wxWidgets' events.
  98
  99 wxMac:
 100
 101 - Vertical sliders oriented consistent with MSW/GTK (0 at top) (Kevin Hock)
 102 - wxDynamicLibrary::GetDllExt() now returns ".bundle", not ".dylib"
 103 - wxDynamicLibrary::GetSymbol() now prepends underscore to the symbol name
 104 - wxJoystick now works on OSX
 105

 109 - wxRadioButtons no longer have to be consecutive in a group
 110 - fixed spurious selection of combobox text during resize
 111 - pass correct tool id (and not always -1) to EVT_TOOL_RCLICKED() handler
 112 - added wxRegKey::Export(file)
 113
 114 wxWinCE:

 118
 119 wxUniv:
 120
 121 - wxBU_... button align flags support
 122 - vertical notebook orientation support
 123 - 3rd state support for checkboxes

 125
 126 wxPalmOS:
 127
 128 - William Osborne has won and new port was born
 129   (see: "wxPalmOS porting challenge")
 130 - polishing of the port (unnecessary 2.4 API compatibility, removed
 131   all wxMSW specific code which was base for the new port)
 132 - enumeration of available volumes
 133 - native wxPrefConfig around Preferences database
 134 - native wxProgressDialog implementation

 280
 281 2.5.2
 282 -----
 283
 284 All:
 285
 286 - Hindi translation added (Dhananjaya Sharma)
 287 - Brazilian Portuguese translation added (E. A. Tacao)
 288 - wxDynamicCast() now uses static_cast<wxObject *> internally and so using it
 289   with anything not deriving from wxObject will fail at compile time (instead
 290   of run-time) now
 291 - when wxUSE_STL == 1 and STL provides quasi-standard hash_map/hash_set,
 292   wxHashMap/wxHashSet are just typedefs for them. This makes impossible
 293   to forward declare these classes.
 294
 295 All (GUI):
 296
 297 - wxHtmlWindow now delays image scaling until rendering,
 298   resulting in much better display of scaled images
 299 - Added UpdateSize to wxSplitterWindow to allow layout while hidden
 300 - implemented Freeze/Thaw() for wxGenericTreeCtrl (Kevin Hock)
 301 - support for KOI8-U encoding added (Yuriy Tkachenko)
 302 - The old wxADJUST_MINSIZE behaviour is now the default behaviour for
 303   sizer items that are windows.  This means that GetAdjustedBestSize
 304   will now be called by default to determine the minimum size that a
 305   window in a sizer should have.  If you want to still use the initial
 306   size (and not the BestSize) then use the wxFIXED_MINSIZE flag.  When
 307   windows are added to a sizer their initial size is made the window's
 308   min size using SetSizeHints, and calls to wxSizer::SetItemMinSize
 309   are also forwarded to SetSizeHints for window items.
 310 - added wxRegEx::GetMatchCount()
 311 - it is now possible to display images in wxHtmlListBox
 312
 313 wxMSW:
 314
 315 - wxWindow::Freeze()/Thaw() can now be nested
 316 - Added wxSP_NO_XP_THEME style to wxSplitterWindow to switch off
 317   XP theming (some applications look bad without 3D borders)
 318 - wxMenuBar::GetLabelTop() doesn't include '&'s in the label any more
 319 - wxRegConf couldn't read global settings without admin privileges and didn't
 320   even try to do it by default -- now it does
 321 - wxTaskBarIcon must be explicitly destroyed now, otherwise the application
 322   won't exit even though there are no top level windows
 323 - wxFileName::GetModificationTime() works with opened files too now
 324 - wxDC::GetClippingBox() now works even for clipping regions created by Windows
 325 - fixed wxFileDataObject in Unicode build (Alex D)
 326 - subindented paragraphs support (Tim Kosse)
 327
 328 wxGTK:
 329
 330 - added support for wxTE_RIGHT and wxTE_CENTRE styles under GTK2 (Mart Raudsepp)
 331
 332 wxMotif:
 333
 334 - removed wxMenuItem::DeleteSubMenu()
 335 - wxButtons use Motif default size, which is smaller than it used to be
 336   and closer to wxMSW/wxGTK look. This can be disabled by setting
 337   motif.largebuttons system option to 1 (see wxSystemOptions).
 338
 339 wxUniv/X11:
 340
 341 - implemented DrawRoundedRectangle() (clawghoul)
 342
 343 wxHTML:
 344
 345 - improved tables and lists layout algorithms (Tim Kosse)
 346 - <div> handling fix (Xavier Nodet)
 347
 348 Unix:
 349
 350 - fixed priorities of mailcap entries (David Hart)
 351 - added "wx-config --libs=std,<extra>" syntax (i.e. support for "std")
 352
 353 wxODBC:
 354
 355 - Full Unicode support is now available
 356 - BLOB support is working
 357
 358

 572 - Added m_ prefix to wxColourData and wxFontData members
 573 - Added wxHtmlPrintout::AddFilter so HTML printing can be subject to
 574   custom filters as well as HTML viewing.
 575 - Moved wxApp::SendIdleEvents and wxApp::ProcessIdle into common code.
 576 - wxWindow::OnInternalIdle is now used in all ports, and ensures that
 577   user OnIdle events do not interfere with crucial internal processing.

 579   sends wxUpdateUIEvents, and can be overridden. It has a helper function
 580   DoUpdateWindowUI for taking appropriate wxUpdateUIEvent action.
 581 - Added functions to wxUpdateUIEvent: Set/GetMode, Set/GetUpdateInterval,
 582   CanUpdate, to assist with optimising update event frequency.
 583 - Added functions to wxIdleEvent: Set/GetMode, CanSend, to
 584   determine whether a window should receive idle events.
 585 - Added wxWS_EX_PROCESS_IDLE, wxWS_EX_PROCESS_UI_UPDATES window
 586   styles for use with conservative idle and update event modes.
 587 - send menu update events only when a menu is about to be used (MSW/GTK)
 588 - improved event processing performance (Hans Van Leemputten)
 589 - added wxMirrorDC class
 590 - printing improvements: GetPageInfo() gets called after the DC has
 591   been set and after OnPreparePrinting() has been called so it can
 592   report the number of pages accurately; doesn't try to set
 593   number of pages in print dialog, in common with other Windows apps;
 594   wxHTML easy printing's preview shows number of pages
 595   correctly; preview scrollbars are set correctly; keyboard navigation
 596   improved

 692 OLD CHANGES
 693 ===========
 694
 695 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.2.x
 696 ================================
 697
 698     Please take a few minutes to read the following list, especially
 699     paying attention to the most important changes which are marked
 700     with '!' in the first column.
 701
 702     Also please note that you should ensure that WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_2
 703     is defined to 1 if you wish to retain maximal compatibility with 2.2
 704     series -- however you are also strongly encouraged to try to compile
 705     your code without this define as it won't be default any longer in
 706     2.6 release.
 707
 708     NB: if you want to build your program with different major versions
 709         of wxWidgets you will probably find the wxCHECK_VERSION() macro
 710         (see the documentation) useful.
 711
 712
 713 wxBase:
 714
 715 ! wxArray<T>::Remove(size_t) has been removed to fix compilation problems
 716   under 64 bit architectures, please replace it with RemoveAt() in your
 717   code.
 718
 719 ! wxArray<T> macros have been changed to fix runtime problems under 64 bit
 720   architectures and as a side effect of this WX_DEFINE_ARRAY() can only be
 721   used now for the pointer types, WX_DEFINE_ARRAY_INT should be used for the
 722   arrays containing non-pointers.
 723
 724 - wxObject::CopyObject() and Clone() methods were removed because they
 725   simply don't make sense for all objects
 726
 727 - wxEvent now has a pure virtual Clone() method which must be implemented
 728   by all derived classes, if you have user-defined event classes please
 729   add "wxEvent *Clone() const { return new MyEvent(*this); }" line to them
 730
 731 - small change to wxStopWatch::Pause() semantics, please see the documentation
 732
 733 - unlikely but possible incompatibility: the definition of TRUE has changed
 734   from "1" to "(bool)1" (and the same thing for FALSE), so the code which
 735   could be erroneously compiled previously such as doing "return FALSE" from
 736   a function returning a pointer would stop compiling now (but this change
 737   is not supposed to have any effects on valid code)
 738
 739 - another minor change: wxApp::OnAssert() has a new "cond" argument, you
 740   must modify YourApp::OnAssert() signature if you were using it to override
 741   the default assert handling.
 742
 743 All (GUI):
 744
 745 ! the event type constants are not constants any more but are dynamically
 746   allocated during run-time which means that they can't be used as case labels
 747   in the switch()es, you must rewrite them to use if()s instead
 748
 749   You may also define WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_EVENT_TYPES to get the old behaviour
 750   but this is strongly discouraged, please consider changing your code
 751   instead!
 752
 753 ! wxDialog does not derive from wxPanel any longer - if you were using it in
 754   your code, please update it. The quick fix for the most cases is to replace
 755   the occurrences of wxPanel with wxWindow.
 756
 757 ! if you handle (and don't skip) EVT_KEY_DOWN, the EVT_CHAR event is not
 758   generated at all, so you must call event.Skip() in your OnKeyDown() if
 759   you want to get OnChar() as well
 760
 761 - in general, the key events sent for the various non ASCII key combinations
 762   have been changed to make them consistent over all supported platforms,
 763   please see the wxKeyEvent documentation for details
 764
 765 - wxYES_NO is now wxYES | wxNO and the manifest values of both wxYES and wxNO
 766   have changed (to fix some unfortunate clashes), please check your code to
 767   ensure that no tests for wxYES or wxNO are broken: for example, the following
 768   will *NOT* work any longer:
 769
 770         if ( flags & wxYES_NO )
 771                 ... do something ...
 772         if ( flags & wxYES )
 773                 ... do something else ...
 774
 775 - static wxWizard::Create() doesn't exist any more, the wizards are created
 776   in the same way as all the other wxWindow objects, i.e. by directly using
 777   the ctor
 778
 779 - wxGLCanvas now derives directly from wxWindow, not wxScrolledWindow
 780
 781 - wxGridCellAttrProvider class API changed, you will need to update your code
 782   if you derived any classes from it
 783
 784 - wxImage::ComputeHistogram()'s signature changed to
 785   unsigned long ComputeHistogram(wxImageHistogram&) const
 786
 787 - wxEvtHandler cannot be copied/assigned any longer - this never worked but
 788   now it results in compile-time error instead of run-time crashes
 789
 790 - WXK_NUMLOCK and WXK_SCROLL keys no longer result in EVT_CHAR() events,
 791   they only generate EVT_KEY_DOWN/UP() ones
 792
 793 - the dialogs use wxApp::GetTopWindow() as the parent implicitly if the
 794   parent specified is NULL, use wxDIALOG_NO_PARENT style to prevent this
 795   from happening
 796
 797 - several obsolete synonyms are only retained in WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_2 mode:
 798   for example, use wxScrolledWindow::GetViewStart() now instead of ViewStart()
 799   and GetCount() instead of Number() in many classes
 800
 801 - wxCmdLineParser does not use wxLog to output messages anymore.
 802   to obtain the previous behaviour, add
 803   wxMessageOutput::Set(new wxMessageOutputLog); to your program
 804   (you will need to #include <wx/msgout.h>)
 805
 806 wxMSW:
 807
 808 ! build system changed: setup.h is not a static file in include/wx any more
 809   but is created as part of the build process under lib/<toolkit>/wx
 810   where <toolkit> is of the form (msw|univ)[dll][u][d]. You'll need to update
 811   the include path in your make/project files appropriately. Furthermore,
 812   xpm.lib is no longer used by wxMSW, it was superseded by the wxXPMDecoder
 813   class. You'll need to remove all references to xpm.lib from your
 814   make/project files. Finally, the library names have changed as well and now
 815   use the following consistent naming convention: wxmsw[ver][u][d].(lib|dll)
 816   where 'u' appears for Unicode version, 'd' -- for the debug one and version
 817   is only present for the DLLs builds.
 818
 819 - child frames appear in the taskbar by default now, use wxFRAME_NO_TASKBAR
 820   style to avoid it
 821
 822 - all overloads of wxDC::SetClippingRegion() combine the given region with the
 823   previously selected one instead of replacing it
 824
 825 - wxGetHomeDir() uses HOME environment variable and if it is set will not
 826   return the programs directory any longer but its value (this function has
 827   never been meant to return the programs directory anyhow)
 828
 829 - wxHTML apps don't need to include wx/html/msw/wxhtml.rc in resources file
 830   anymore. The file was removed from wxMSW
 831
 832
 833 Unix ports:
 834
 835 ! You should use `wx-config --cxxflags` in your makefiles instead of
 836   `wx-config --cflags` for compiling C++ files. CXXFLAGS contains CFLAGS
 837   and the compiler flags for C++ files only, CFLAGS should still be used
 838   to compile pure C files.
 839
 840
 841 wxThread and related classes:
 842
 843 - The thread-related classes have been heavily changed since 2.2.x versions
 844   as the old code had many serious problems. This could have resulted in
 845   semantical changes other than those mentioned here, please review use of
 846   wxThread, wxMutex and wxCondition classes in your code.
 847
 848 ! wxCondition now *must* be used with a mutex, please read the (updated) class
 849   documentation for details and revise your code accordingly: this change was
 850   unfortunately needed as it was impossible to ensure the correct behaviour
 851   (i.e. absence of race conditions) using the old API.
 852
 853 - wxMutex is not recursive any more in POSIX implementation (it hasn't been
 854   recursive in 2.2.x but was in 2.3.1 and 2.3.2), please refer to the class
 855   documentation for the discussion of the recursive mutexes.
 856
 857 - wxMutex::IsLocked() doesn't exist any more and should have never existed:
 858   this is was unique example of a thread-unsafe-by-design method.
 859

1515 - Added BC++ 5 IDE files and instructions.
1516 - Fixed wxChoice, wxComboBox constructor bugs (m_noStrings initialisation).
1517 - Fixed focus-related crash.
1518
1519 wxMotif:
1520
1521 - Cured asynchronous wxExecute crash.
1522 - Added repaint event handlers to wxFrame, wxMDIChildFrame.
1523
1524 General:
1525
1526 - wxLocale documented.
1527 - Added include filenames to class reference.
1528 - wxHelpController API changed: SetBrowser becomes SetViewer,
1529   DisplaySection works for WinHelp, help sample compiles under Windows
1530   (though doesn't display help yet).
1531
1532 Beta 4, February 12th 1999
1533 --------------------------
1534
1535 wxGTK:
1536
1537 - Miscellaneous fixes.
1538
1539 wxMSW:
1540
1541 - Makefiles for more compilers and samples; Cygwin makefiles
1542   rationalised.
1543 - Added VC++ project file for compiling wxWidgets as DLL.
1544
1545 wxMotif:
1546
1547 - Added OnEraseBackground invocation.
1548 - Added wxRETAINED implementation for wxScrolledWindow.
1549 - Cured scrolling display problem by adding XmUpdateDisplay.
1550 - Tried to make lex-ing in the makefile more generic (command line
1551   syntax should apply to both lex and flex).
1552 - Changed file selector colours for consistency (except for buttons:
1553   crashes for some reason).
1554 - Fixed wxMotif version of wxImage::ConvertToBitmap (used new instead
1555   of malloc, which causes memory problems).
1556
1557 General:
1558
1559 - Further doc improvements.
1560 - wxGenericValidator added.
1561 - Added wxImageModule to image.cpp, so adds/cleans up standard handlers
1562   automatically.
1563
1564 Beta 3, January 31st 1999
1565 -------------------------
1566
1567 wxGTK:
1568

1570 - wxToolTip class added.
1571 - Miscellaneous fixes.
1572
1573 wxMSW:
1574
1575 - wxRegConfig DeleteAll bug fixed.
1576 - Makefiles for more compilers.
1577 - TWIN32 support added.
1578 - Renamed VC++ makefiles from .nt to .vc, and

1596 Beta 2, January 1999
1597 --------------------
1598
1599 wxGTK:
1600
1601 wxMSW:
1602
1603 - 16-bit BC++ compilation/linking works albeit without the resource system.
1604
1605 wxMotif:
1606
1607 - Cured wxScreenDC origin problem so e.g. sash window sash is drawn at
1608   the right place.
1609 - Cured some widget table clashes.
1610 - Added thread support (Robert).
1611 - wxPoem sample now works.
1612
1613 General:
1614
1615 - Rearranged documentation a bit.
1616 - Sash window uses area of first frame/dialog to paint over when drawing
1617   the dragged sash, not just the sash window itself (it clipped to the right
1618   or below).
1619 - Made resource sample use the correct Cancel button id.
1620 - Moved wxProp to main library (generic directory), created proplist
1621   sample.
1622 - Added bombs and fractal samples.
1623
1624 Beta 1, December 24th 1998
1625 --------------------------
1626
1627 wxGTK:
1628
1629 - Various
1630
1631 wxMSW, wxMotif: not in sync with this release.
1632
1633
1634 Alpha 18, December 29th 1998
1635 ----------------------------
1636
1637 wxMSW:
1638
1639 - Win16 support working again (VC++ 1.5)
1640 - Win16 now uses generic wxNotebook, wxListCtrl,
1641   wxTreeCtrl -- more or less working now, although
1642   a little work on wxNotebook is still needed.
1643   Under 16-bit Windows, get assertion when you click
1644   on a tab.
1645 - Wrote 16-bit BC++ makefiles: samples don't yet link.
1646 - Added CodeWarrior support to distribution courtesy
1647   of Stefan Csomor.
1648
1649 wxMotif:
1650
1651 - Cured scrolling problem: scrollbars now show/hide themselves
1652   without (permanently) resizing the window.
1653 - Removed some commented-out lines in wxScrolledWindow::AdjustScrollbars
1654   that disabled scrollbar paging.
1655 - Set background colour of drawing area in wxWindow, so e.g. wxListCtrl
1656   colours correctly.
1657 - Removed major bug whereby dialogs were unmanaged automatically
1658   when any button was pressed.
1659 - Fixed colours of wxWindow scrollbars, made list and text controls
1660   have a white background.
1661 - Fixed dialog colour setting.
1662 - Added settable fonts and colours for wxMenu/wxMenuBar. Now
1663   they have sensible colours by default.
1664 - Fixed a bug in wxStaticBox.
1665 - Cured wxTreeCtrl bug: now works pretty well!
1666 - Debugged DrawEllipticArc (a ! in the wrong place).
1667 - Added SetClippingRegion( const wxRegion& region ).
1668 - Added wxPoint, wxSize, wxRect versions of SetSize etc.
1669
1670 Alpha 17, November 22nd 1998
1671 ----------------------------
1672
1673 wxMSW:
1674
1675 - More documentation updates, especially for
1676   wxLayoutWindow classes and debugging facilities.
1677 - Changed wxDebugContext to use wxDebugLog instead
1678   of wxTrace.
1679 - Now supports VC++ 6.0, and hopefully BC++ 5.0.
1680   However, DLL support may be broken for BC++ since
1681   VC++ 6 required changing of WXDLLEXPORT keyword
1682   position.
1683 - Numerous miscellaneous changes.
1684
1685 wxMotif:
1686
1687 - Reimplemented MDI using wxNotebook instead of the MDI widgets, which
1688   were too buggy (probably not design for dynamic addition/removal of
1689   child frames).
1690 - Some improvements to the wxNotebook implementation.
1691 - wxToolBar now uses a bulletin board instead of a form, in an attempt
1692   to make it possible to add ordinary wxControls to a toolbar.
1693 - Cured problem with not being able to use global memory operators,
1694   by defining two more global operators, so that the delete will match
1695   the debugging implementation.
1696 - Added wxUSE_DEBUG_NEW_ALWAYS so we can distinguish between using
1697   global memory operators (usually OK) and #defining new to be
1698   WXDEBUG_NEW (sometimes it might not be OK).
1699 - Added time.cpp to makefile; set wxUSE_DATETIME to 1.
1700 - Added a parent-existence check to popup menu code to make it not crash.
1701 - Added some optimization in wxWindow::SetSize to produce less flicker.
1702   It remains to be seen whether this produces any resize bugs.
1703
1704 It's a long time since I updated this file. Previously done:
1705
1706 - wxFrame, wxDialog done.
1707 - wxScrolledWindow done (but backing pixmap not used at present).
1708 - wxBitmap done though could be tidied it up at some point.
1709 - Most basic controls are there, if not rigorously tested.
1710 - Some MDI support (menus appear on child frames at present).
1711 - wxNotebook almost done.
1712 - wxToolBar done (horizontal only, which would be easy to extend
1713   to vertical toolbars).
1714
1715 More recently:
1716
1717 - Colour and font changing done (question mark over what happens
1718   to scrollbars).
1719 - Accelerators done (for menu items and buttons). Also event loop
1720   tidied up in wxApp so that events are filtered through ProcessXEvent.
1721 - wxWindow::GetUpdateRegion should now work.
1722
1723 Alpha 16, September 8th 1998
1724 ----------------------------
1725
1726 wxMSW:
1727
1728 - Added wxSashWindow, wxSashLayoutWindow classes, and sashtest
1729   sample.
1730 - Guilhem's socket classes added, plus wxsocket sample.
1731 - A few more makefiles added.
1732 - GnuWin32/BC++ compatibility mods.
1733 - Further doc updates.
1734 - wxProp updates for correct working with wxGTK.
1735
1736 wxMotif:
1737
1738 - First start at Motif port.
1739 - Made makefiles for wxMotif source directory and minimal sample.
1740 - First go at wxApp, wxWindow, wxDialog, wxPen, wxBrush, wxFont,
1741   wxColour, wxButton, wxCheckBox, wxTextCtrl, wxStaticText,
1742   wxMenu, wxMenuItem, wxMenuBar
1743
1744 Alpha 15, August 31st 1998
1745 --------------------------
1746
1747 wxMSW:
1748
1749 - wxBitmap debugged.
1750 - wxDC::GetDepth added.
1751 - Contribution added whereby wxBitmap will be
1752   converted to DC depth if they don't match.
1753 - wxConfig API improved, documentation updated.
1754 - Printing classes name conventions cleaned up.
1755 - wxUpdateUIEvent now derives from wxCommandEvent
1756   so event can travel up the window hierarchy.
1757
1758 Alpha 14, July 31st 1998
1759 ------------------------
1760
1761 wxMSW:
1762
1763 - Toolbar API has been simplified, and now
1764   wxFrame::GetClientArea returns the available client
1765   area when toolbar, status bar etc. have been accounted for.
1766   wxFrame::CreateToolBar added in line with CreateStatusBar.
1767 - Documentation updates, incl. for wxToolBar.
1768 - New wxAcceleratorTable class plus wxFrame::SetAcceleratorTable.
1769 - Various additions from other folk, e.g. streams, wxConfig
1770   changes, wxNotebook.
1771 - Added wxDocMDIParentFrame, wxDocMDIChildFrame for doc/view.
1772
1773 Alpha 13, July 8th 1998
1774 -----------------------
1775
1776 wxMSW:
1777
1778 - Implemented wxPoint as identical to POINT on Windows, and
1779   altered wxDC wxPoint functions to use wxPoint directly in
1780   Windows functions, for efficiency.
1781 - Cured wxASSERT bug in wxStatusBar95.
1782 - #ifdefed out some bits in oleutils.cpp for compilers that
1783   don't support it.
1784 - Added some operators to wxPoint, wxSize.
1785 - Added inline wxDC functions using wxPoint, wxSize, wxRect.
1786
1787 Alpha 12, July 7th 1998
1788 -----------------------
1789
1790 wxMSW:
1791
1792 - Added wxApp::GetComCtl32Version, and wxTB_FLAT style, so can
1793   have flat toolbars on Win98 or Win95 with IE >= 3 installed.
1794
1795 Alpha 11, July 3rd 1998
1796 -----------------------
1797
1798 wxMSW:
1799
1800 - Added thread.h, thread.cpp.
1801 - Changed Enabled, Checked to IsEnabled, IsChecked in wxMenu,
1802   wxMenuBar.
1803 - Changed wxMenuItem::SetBackColor to SetBackgroundColour,
1804   SetTextColor to SetTextColour, and added or made public several
1805   wxMenuItem accessors.
1806 - Added two overloads to wxRegion::Contains. Added
1807   wxRegion::IsEmpty for a more consistent naming convention.
1808 - Added Vadim's wxDataObject and wxDropSource.
1809 - ENTER/LEAVE events now work.
1810 - Cured wxMemoryDC bug where the DC wasn't being deleted.
1811 - Cured wxGauge SetSize major bugginess.
1812 - Cured problem where if a GDI object was created on the stack,
1813   then went out of scope, then another object was selected into
1814   the DC, GDI objects would leak. This is because the assignment
1815   to e.g. wxDC::m_pen would delete the GDI object without it first
1816   being selected out of the DC. Cured by selecting the old DC object
1817   first, then doing the assignment.
1818 - Split up wxGaugeMSW, wxGauge95, wxSliderMSW, wxSlider95
1819 - Various other bug fixes and additions.
1820
1821 Generic:
1822
1823 - Major work on Dialog Editor (still plenty to go).
1824 - Expanded documentation a bit more.
1825
1826 Alpha 10, May 7th 1998
1827 ----------------------
1828
1829 wxMSW:
1830
1831 - Added desiredWidth, desiredHeight parameters to wxBitmapHandler
1832   and wxIcon functions so that you can specify what size of
1833   icon should be loaded. Probably will remain a Windows-specific thing.
1834 - wxStatusBar95 now works for MDI frames.
1835 - Toolbars in MDI frames now behave normally. They still
1836   require application-supplied positioning code though.
1837 - Changed installation instructions, makefiles and batch files
1838   for compiling with Gnu-Win32/Mingw32/EGCS. Also timercmn.cpp
1839   change to support Mingw32/EGCS. Bison now used by default.
1840
1841 Alpha 9, April 27th 1998
1842 ------------------------
1843
1844 wxMSW:
1845
1846 - Cured bug in wxStatusBar95 that caused a crash if multiple
1847   fields were used.
1848 - Added Gnu-Win32 b19/Mingw32 support by changing resource
1849   compilation and pragmas.
1850 - Cured wxMenu bug introduced in alpha 8 - didn't respond to
1851   commands because VZ changed the id setting in wxMenu::MSWCommand.
1852
1853 Generic:
1854
1855 - Corrected some bugs, such as the wxModule compilation problem.
1856 - Added Gnu-Win32 b19/Mingw32 support by changing resource
1857   compilation and pragmas.
1858 - Changed SIZEOF to WXSIZEOF.
1859
1860 Alpha 8, April 17th 1998
1861 ------------------------
1862
1863 wxMSW:
1864
1865 - Added IsNull to wxGDIObject to check if the ref data is present or not.
1866 - Added PNG handler and sample - doesn't work for 16-bit PNGs for
1867   some reason :-(
1868 - Added wxJoystick class and event handling, and simple demo.
1869 - Added simple wxWave class. Needs Stop() function.
1870 - Added wxModule (module.h/module.cpp) to allow definition
1871   of modules to be initialized and cleaned up on wxWidgets
1872   startup/exit.
1873 - Start of Mingw32 compatibility (see minimal and dialogs samples
1874   makefile.m95 files, and install.txt).
1875 - Note: Windows printing has stopped working... will investigate.
1876 VADIM'S CHANGES:
1877 - Updated wxString: bug fixes, added wxArrayString, some
1878   compatibility functions.
1879 - Updated log.h/cpp, added wxApp::CreateLogTarget.
1880 - file.h: new wxTempFile class.
1881 - defs.h: added wxSB_SIZE_GRIP for wxStatusBar95
1882 - statbr95: wxStatusBar95 control.
1883 - registry.h/cpp: wxRegKey class for Win95 registry.
1884 - listbox.cpp: corrected some bugs with owner-drawn listboxes.
1885 - wxConfig and wxFileConfig classes.
1886
1887 Generic:
1888
1889 - Added src/other/png, src/other/zlib directories.
1890 - Added samples/png.
1891 - IMPORTANT: Changed 'no id' number from 0 to -1, in wxEVT_ macros.
1892   Porters, please check particularly your wxTreeCtrl and wxListCtrl
1893   header files.
1894 - Added modules.h/cpp, config.cpp, fileconf.cpp, textfile.cpp/h.
1895
1896 Alpha 7, March 30th 1998
1897 ------------------------
1898
1899 wxMSW:
1900
1901 - Added tab classes, tab sample.
1902 - Now can return FALSE from OnInit and windows will be
1903   cleaned up properly before exit.
1904 - Improved border handling so panels don't get borders
1905   automatically.
1906 - Debugged MDI activation from Window menu.
1907 - Changes to memory debug handling, including checking for
1908   memory leaks on application exit - but see issues.txt for
1909   unresolved issues.
1910 - Added wxTaskBarIcon (taskbar.cpp/h, plus samples/taskbar)
1911   to allow maintenance of an icon in the Windows 95 taskbar
1912   tray area.
1913 - Got MFC sample working (MFC and wxWidgets in the same
1914   application), partly by tweaking ntwxwin.mak settings.
1915 - Got DLL compilation working again (VC++).
1916 - Changed wxProp/Dialog Editor filenames.
1917
1918 Generic:
1919
1920 - Added tab classes, tab sample.
1921 - Revised memory.cpp, memory.h slightly; memory.h now #defines
1922   new to WXDEBUG_NEW in DEBUG mode. Windows implementation app.cpp
1923   now checks for leaks on exit. Added memcheck sample.
1924   See src/msw/issues.txt for more details.
1925 - resource.h, resource.cpp changed to make wxDefaultResourceTable
1926   a pointer. Now initialize resource system with
1927   wxInitializeResourceSystem and wxCleanUpResourceSystem, to
1928   allow better control of memory.
1929 - wxString now derives from wxObject, to enable memory leak
1930   checking.
1931 - Added some #include fixes in various files, plus changed
1932   float to long in wxToolBar files.
1933
1934 Alpha 6, March 10th 1998
1935 ------------------------
1936
1937 wxMSW:
1938
1939 - Found stack error bug - stopped unwanted OnIdle recursion.
1940 - Removed bug in wxTreeCtrl::InsertItem I added in alpha 5.
1941 - Changed exit behaviour in wxApp/wxFrame/wxDialog. Now will
1942   check if the number of top-level windows is zero before
1943   exiting. Also, wxApp::GetTopWindow will return either
1944   m_topWindow or the first member of wxTopLevelWindows, so you
1945   don't have to call wxApp::SetTopWindow.
1946 - Added dynarray.h/dynarray.cpp (from Vadim).
1947 - Added first cut at OLE drag and drop (from Vadim). dnd sample
1948   added. Drop target only at this stage. See src/msw/ole/*.cpp,
1949   wx/include/msw/ole/*.h. WIN32 only because of UUID usage.
1950   Doesn't work with GnuWin32 - no appropriate headers e.g. for
1951   IUnknown.
1952   Doesn't work with BC++ either - crashes on program startup.
1953 - Added Vadim's owner-draw modifications - will probably remain
1954   Windows-only. This enhances wxMenu, wxListBox. See ownerdrw sample.
1955 - Added wxLB_OWNERDRAW for owner-draw listboxes.
1956 - Vadim's wxCheckListBox derives from wxListBox. See checklst sample.
1957   Doesn't entirely work for WIN16.
1958 - Vadim has added wxMenuItem as a separate file menuitem.cpp. It
1959   can also be used as an argument to wxMenu::Append, not just for
1960   internal implementation.
1961 - Some #ifdefs done for MINGW32 compilation (just alter OPTIONS
1962   in makeg95.env, together with mingw32.bat). However, resource
1963   binding is not working yet so most apps with dialogs crash.
1964
1965 Generic:
1966
1967 - Added Vadim's dynarray.h, dynarray.cpp.
1968 - Added Vadim's menuitem.cpp.
1969 - Added Windows-specific wxCheckListBox,
1970   owner-draw wxListBox, and drag-and-drop
1971   (see docs/msw/changes.txt).
1972
1973 Alpha 5, 14th February 1998
1974 --------------------------
1975
1976 wxMSW:
1977
1978 - GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE
1979   DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to
1980   the Windows-specific code only. See docs/changes.txt for generic
1981   changes.
1982 - Removed Windows-specific reference counting system (GDI
1983   resources were cleaned up in idle time) - minimal
1984   advantages now we have a wxWin reference counting system.
1985 - Added missing WXDLLEXPORT keywords so DLL compilation works
1986   again.
1987 - Removed most warnings for GnuWin32 compilation.
1988 - Added wxRegion/wxRegionIterator, but haven't yet used it in
1989   e.g. wxDC.
1990
1991 Generic:
1992
1993 - GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE
1994   DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to
1995   the generic code only. See docs/msw/changes.txt for Windows-specific
1996   changes.
1997 - Readmes, change logs and installation files now go in
1998   platform-specific directories under docs, e.g. docs/msw,
1999   docs/gtk.
2000 - Added DECLARE_APP and IMPLEMENT_APP macros so wxApp object gets
2001   created dynamically, not as a global object.
2002 - Put wxColour into wx/msw/colour.h, src/msw/colour.cpp.
2003 - Changed names of some include/wx/generic headers to be
2004   consistent and to conform to gcc pragma conventions. Also
2005   changed choicesg.cpp to choicdgg.cpp.
2006 - Added gcc pragmas.
2007 - Added gtk inclusion in include/wx headers.
2008 - Added consistent file headings to source and headers.
2009 - Removed lang.cpp, lang.h and references to wxSTR_... variables;
2010   added a few references to wxTransString.
2011 - Added operator to wxTransString that converts automatically
2012   to wxString, so we can say e.g. wxMessageBox(wxTransString("Hello"), ...).
2013 - samples/internat now works (minimally).
2014 - Added wxMouseEvent::GetPosition and
2015   wxMouseEvent::GetLogicalPosition, both returning wxPoints.
2016 - Made wxSize and wxRect contain longs not ints.
2017 - Cured some memory leaks (thanks Vadim).
2018 - Tidied up OnIdle and introduced RequestMore/MoreRequested so
2019   will only keep processing OnIdle if it returns TRUE from
2020   MoreRequested.
2021
2022 Alpha 4, 31st January 1998
2023 --------------------------
2024
2025 All:
2026
2027 - Changed wxDC functions to take longs instead of floats. GetSize now takes
2028   integer pointers, plus a version that returns a wxSize.
2029 - const keyword added to various wxDC functions.
2030 - Under Windows, wxDC no longer has any knowledge of whether
2031   an associated window is scrolled or not. Instead, the device
2032   origin is set by wxScrolledWindow in wxScrolledWindow::PrepareDC.
2033 - wxScrolledWindow applications can optionally override the virtual OnDraw
2034   function instead of using the OnPaint event handler. The wxDC passed to
2035   OnDraw will be translated by PrepareDC to reflect scrolling.
2036   When drawing outside of OnDraw, must call PrepareDC explicitly.
2037 - wxToolBarBase/wxToolBarSimple similarly changed to allow for
2038   scrolling toolbars.
2039 - Integrated wxPostScriptDC patches for 1.xx by Chris Breeze,
2040   to help printing with multiple pages.
2041 - IPC classes given base classes (wxConnectionBase etc.) which
2042   define the API used by different implementations. DDE
2043   implementation updated to use these base classes.
2044 - wxHelpInstance now separated into wxHelpControllerBase (base
2045   for all implementations), wxWinHelpController (uses standard
2046   WinHelp), wxXLPHelpController (talks to wxHelp by DDE or
2047   TCP/IP). There will be others eventually, such as
2048   wxHTMLHelpController for Microsoft (and Netscape?) HTML Help.
2049 - Added Vadim Zeitlin's wxString class plus
2050   internationalization code (gettext simulation, wxLocale, etc.).
2051   New files from Vadim:
2052   include\wx\string.h
2053   include\wx\debug.h
2054   include\wx\file.h
2055   include\wx\log.h
2056   include\wx\intl.h
2057   src\common\string.cpp
2058   src\common\log.cpp
2059   src\common\intl.cpp
2060   src\common\file.cpp
2061   No longer use GNU wxString files.
2062 - Split off file-related functions into include\wx\filefn.h and
2063   src\common\filefn.cpp.
2064 - Borland C++ support (WIN32) for main library and
2065   samples, using makefile.b32 files.
2066 - Preparation done for allowing BC++ to compile wxWin as a DLL,
2067   including changes to defs.h.
2068 - wxIntPoint removed, wxPoint is now int, and wxRealPoint
2069   introduced.
2070 - Added wxShowEvent (generated when window is being shown or
2071   hidden).
2072 - Got minimal, docview, mdi samples working for 16-bit VC++ and
2073   cured 16-bit problem with wxTextCtrl (removed global memory
2074   trick).
2075 - Updated GnuWin32 makefiles, checked minimal, mdi, docview samples.
2076
2077 Alpha 3, September 1997
2078 -----------------------
2079
2080 All:
2081
2082 - wxListCtrl, wxTreeCtrl, wxImageList classes done.
2083 - Instigated new file hierarchy, split files and classes up more logically.
2084 - PrologIO and some other utils now put into core library.
2085 - Revamped print/preview classes, added wxPageSetupDialog.
2086 - Started documentation.
2087
2088 Alpha 2, 30th April 1997
2089 ------------------------
2090
2091 All:
2092
2093 - EVT_... macros now have at least one argument, for conformance
2094   with MetroWerks compiler.
2095 - Added ids to .wxr file format.
2096 - Got Dialog Editor compiled and running again but need
2097   to extend functionality to be in line with new controls.
2098   Added dialoged\test app to allow dynamic loading of .wxr files
2099   for testing purposes.
2100 - Rewrote wxBitmap to allow installable file type
2101   handlers.
2102 - Rewrote wxBitmapButton, wxStaticBitmap to not use Fafa.
2103 - Wrote most of wxTreeCtrl and sample (need wxImageList to implement it
2104   fully).
2105 - Added back wxRadioBox.
2106 - Tidied up wx_main.cpp, wxApp class, putting PenWin code in
2107   a separate file.
2108
2109 Alpha 1, 5th April 1997
2110 -----------------------
2111
2112 Generic:
2113
2114 At this point, the following has been achieved:
2115
2116 - A lot, but not all, of the code has been revamped for better
2117   naming conventions, protection of data members, and use of
2118   wxString instead of char *.
2119 - Obsolete functionality deleted (e.g. default wxPanel layout,
2120   old system event system) and code size reduced.
2121 - Class hierarchy changed (see design doc) - base classes such
2122   as wxbWindow now removed.
2123 - No longer includes windows.h in wxWin headers, by using stand-in
2124   Windows types where needed e.g. WXHWND.
2125 - PrologIO revised.
2126 - wxScrolledWindow, wxStatusBar and new MDI classes added.
2127   MDI is now achieved using separate classes, not window styles.
2128 - wxSystemSettings added, and made use of to reflect standard
2129   Windows settings.
2130 - SetButtonFont/SetLabelFont replaced by SetFont; font and colour
2131   settings mucho rationalised.
2132 - All windows are now subclassed with the same window proc to make
2133   event handling far more consistent. Old internal wxWnd and derived
2134   classes removed.
2135 - API for controls revised, in particular addition of
2136   wxValidator parameters and removal of labels for some controls.
2137 - 1 validator written: see examples/validate.
2138 - Event table system introduced (see most samples and
2139   wx_event.cpp/ProcessEvent, wx_event.h). wxEvtHandler
2140   made more flexible, with Push/PopEventHandler allowing a chain
2141   of event handlers.
2142 - wxRadioBox removed - will be added back soon.
2143 - Toolbar class hierarchy revised:
2144   wxToolBarBase
2145   wxToolBarSimple (= old wxToolBar)
2146   wxToolBar95 (= old wxButtonBar under Win95)
2147   wxToolBarMSW (= old wxButtonBar under WIN16/WIN32)
2148 - Constraint system debugged somewhat (sizers now work properly).
2149 - wxFileDialog, wxDirDialog added; other common dialogs now
2150   have class equivalents. Generic colour and font dialogs
2151   rewritten to not need obsolete panel layout.
2152 - .wxr resource system partially reinstated, though needs
2153   an integer ID for controls. Hopefully the resource system
2154   will be replaced by something better and more efficient
2155   in the future.
2156 - Device contexts no longer stored with window and accessed
2157   with GetDC - use wxClientDC, wxPaintDC, wxWindowDC stack
2158   variables instead.
2159 - wxSlider uses trackbar class under Win95, and wxSL_LABELS flag
2160   determines whether labels are shown. Other Win95-specific flags
2161   introduced, e.g. for showing ticks.
2162 - Styles introduced for dealing with 3D effects per window, for
2163   any window: all Win95 3D effects supported, plus transparent windows.
2164 - Major change to allow 3D effect support without CTL3D, under
2165   Win95.
2166 - Bitmap versions of button and checkbox separated out into new
2167   classes, but unimplemented as yet because I intend to remove
2168   the need for Fafa - it apparently causes GPFs in Win95 OSR 2.
2169 - utils/wxprop classes working (except maybe wxPropertyFormView)
2170   in preparation for use in Dialog Editor.
2171 - GNU-WIN32 compilation verified (a month or so ago).
