   2 ---------------

   5 -------
   6
   7 Julian:
   8
   9 - Made makefiles for wxMotif source directory and minimal sample.
  10
  11 - First go at wxApp, wxWindow, wxDialog, wxPen, wxBrush, wxFont,
  12   wxColour, wxButton, wxCheckBox, wxTextCtrl, wxStaticText,
  13   wxMenu, wxMenuItem, wxMenuBar
  14
  15 12/11/98
  16 --------
  17
  18 It's a long time since I updated this file. Previously done:
  19
  20 - wxFrame, wxDialog done.
  21 - wxScrolledWindow done (but backing pixmap not used at present).
  22 - wxBitmap done though could be tidied it up at some point.
  23 - Most basic controls are there, if not rigorously tested.
  24 - Some MDI support (menus appear on child frames at present).
  25 - wxNotebook almost done.
  26 - wxToolBar done (horizontal only, which would be easy to extend
  27   to vertical toolbars).
  28
  29 More recently:
  30
  31 - Colour and font changing done (question mark over what happens
  32   to scrollbars).
  33 - Accelerators done (for menu items and buttons). Also event loop
  34   tidied up in wxApp so that events are filtered through ProcessXEvent.
  35 - wxWindow::GetUpdateRegion should now work.
  36
  37 25/11/98
  38 --------
  39
  40 - Reimplemented MDI using wxNotebook instead of the MDI widgets, which
  41   were too buggy (probably not design for dynamic addition/removal of
  42   child frames).
  43 - Some improvements to the wxNotebook implementation.
  44 - wxToolBar now uses a bulletin board instead of a form, in an attempt
  45   to make it possible to add ordinary wxControls to a toolbar.
  46 - Cured problem with not being able to use global memory operators,
  47   by defining two more global operators, so that the delete will match
  48   the debugging implementation.
  49 - Added wxUSE_DEBUG_NEW_ALWAYS so we can distinguish between using
  50   global memory operators (usually OK) and #defining new to be
  51   WXDEBUG_NEW (sometimes it might not be OK).
  52 - Added time.cpp to makefile; set wxUSE_DATETIME to 1.
  53 - Added a parent-existance check to popup menu code to make it not crash.
  54 - Added some optimization in wxWindow::SetSize to produce less flicker.
  55   It remains to be seen whether this produces any resize bugs.
  56
  57 3/12/98
  58 -------
  59
  60 - Debugged DrawEllipticArc (a ! in the wrong place).
  61 - Added SetClippingRegion( const wxRegion& region ).
  62 - Added wxPoint, wxSize, wxRect versions of SetSize etc.
  63 - Diagnosed but not yet cured a wxTreeCtrl bug (see todo.txt).
  64
  65 4/12/98
  66 -------
  67
  68 - Got further with wxTreeCtrl, fixing wxWindow::Refresh on the way,
  69   and adding Clear(const wxRect&). Mainly the scrolling to sort out now,
  70   and inter-line spacing.
  71 - Fixed some problems with wxListCtrl espec. trying to call m_mainWin
  72   functions when it wasn't initialised. As with the wxTreeCtrl sample,
  73   removed usage of wxTextCtrl as a stream (doesn't seem to agree
  74   with gcc) and the sample is now partially working. Some work
  75   on the scrollbars is required.
  76 - wxListCtrl assumed that one of the args to GetClientSize can be NULL:
  77   corrected.
  78
  79 18/12/98
  80 --------
  81
  82 - Removed major bug whereby dialogs were unmanaged automatically
  83   when any button was pressed.
  84 - Fixed colours of wxWindow scrollbars, made list and text controls
  85   have a white background.
  86 - Fixed dialog colour setting.
  87 - Added settable fonts and colours for wxMenu/wxMenuBar. Now
  88   they have sensible colours by default.
  89 - Fixed a bug in wxStaticBox.
  90 - Controls sample runs, though wxRadioBox doesn't appear and
  91   the notebook flickers for a while.
  92 - Cured wxTreeCtrl bug: now works pretty well!
  93
  94 28/12/98
  95 --------
  96
  97 - Cured scrolling problem: scrollbars now show/hide themselves
  98   without (permanently) resizing the window.
  99 - Removed some commented-out lines in wxScrolledWindow::AdjustScrollbars
 100   that disabled scrollbar paging.
 101 - Set background colour of drawing area in wxWindow, so e.g. wxListCtrl
 102   colours correctly.
