   1 Enhancements for wxWindows 3.0
   2 ==============================
   3
   4 RCS-ID:      $Id$
   5
   6 C++ Features
   7 ============
   8
   9 - Namespaces.
  10 - STL containers compatibility (including using STL-like
  11   adapters for wxWindows containers).
  12 - Exception Handling: making the code exception-safe, and
  13   also _using_ exceptions throughout the code.
  14
  15 Core
  16 ====
  17
  18 - Use wxEventLoop in all builds.
  19 - Remove wxCOMPATIBILITY (1.X).
  20 - Modularization/Build System/Project File Generation.
  21 - A configuration tool to generate setup.h and configure
  22   commands.
  23 - RTTI native Support, Properties/Member-Metadata, 2-Step Init with
  24   virtual create: e.g. Create(const wxArrayVariant&).
  25
  26 Documentation
  27 =============
  28
  29 - The possibility of moving doc into header files with tool
  30   support.
  31 - Detailed review of doc accuracy.
  32 - wxDC : Precise definition of default/initial state.
  33 - wxDC : Pixelwise definition of operations (e.g. last point of a
  34   line not drawn).
  35
  36 wxEvents
  37 ========
  38
  39 Change Idle Handling
  40 --------------------
  41 Current Implementation is using too many CPU cycles.
  42
  43 Loose Coupling Event-Source Event-Sink
  44 --------------------------------------
  45 Kind of the NextStep/C# very performant coupling, exposing
  46 events via metadata.
  47
  48 Remove Lazy Init of Eventtables
  49 -------------------------------
  50 Was introduced as a bug-fix, not needed anymore, consumes
  51 considerable CPU time.
  52
  53
  54 Modules/Plugins
  55 ===============
  56
  57 Architecture
  58 ------------
  59
  60 We aim to arrive at a lazy initializiation of modules only when they are first
  61 needed. Dependency information between modules is needed. Dynamic Plug-In
  62 loading and unloading must be compatible with that.
  63
  64 wxUniversal
  65 ===========
  66
  67 - Renderers within native ports.
  68
  69 wxPrinting
  70 ==========
  71
  72 - Page preflighting capabilities in order to determine number
  73   of pages.
  74 - Preview UI enhancement.
  75
  76 wxStaticBox
  77 ===========
  78
  79 Hide the platform problems (GTK: 'children' must be siblings) in encapsulation
  80 in order to avoid problems on ports where the hierarchy must be
  81 'correct'.
  82
  83 Miscellaneous
  84 =============
  85
  86 - wxDC Support for point to char-position with text rendering.
  87 - wxLocale Extension (eg currency).
  88 - wxStreams review.
