   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
 105 wxMSW:
 106
 107 - fixed enhanced metafiles loading from files (Andreas Goebel)
 108 - wxRadioButtons no longer have to be consecutive in a group
 109 - fixed spurious selection of combobox text during resize
 110 - pass correct tool id (and not always -1) to EVT_TOOL_RCLICKED() handler
 111 - added wxRegKey::Export(file)
 112
 113 wxWinCE:
 114 - Added support for MS Handheld PC 2000. This was done before 2.5.4,
 115   but not mentioned anywhere.

 117
 118 wxUniv:
 119
 120 - wxBU_... button align flags support
 121 - vertical notebook orientation support
 122 - 3rd state support for checkboxes
 123 - wxLB_SORT and wxCB_SORT now cause case-insensitive sorting
 124
 125 wxPalmOS:
 126
 127 - William Osborne has won and new port was born
 128   (see: "wxPalmOS porting challenge")
 129 - polishing of the port (unnecessary 2.4 API compatibility, removed
 130   all wxMSW specific code which was base for the new port)
 131 - enumeration of available volumes
 132 - native wxPrefConfig around Preferences database
 133 - native wxProgressDialog implementation
 134 - native wxColourDialog implementation

 279
 280 2.5.2
 281 -----
 282
 283 All:
 284
 285 - Hindi translation added (Dhananjaya Sharma)
 286 - Brazilian Portuguese translation added (E. A. Tacao)
 287 - wxDynamicCast() now uses static_cast<wxObject *> internally and so using it
 288   with anything not deriving from wxObject will fail at compile time (instead
 289   of run-time) now
 290 - when wxUSE_STL == 1 and STL provides quasi-standard hash_map/hash_set,
 291   wxHashMap/wxHashSet are just typedefs for them. This makes impossible
 292   to forward declare these classes.
 293
 294 All (GUI):
 295
 296 - wxHtmlWindow now delays image scaling until rendering,
 297   resulting in much better display of scaled images
 298 - Added UpdateSize to wxSplitterWindow to allow layout while hidden
 299 - implemented Freeze/Thaw() for wxGenericTreeCtrl (Kevin Hock)
 300 - support for KOI8-U encoding added (Yuriy Tkachenko)
 301 - The old wxADJUST_MINSIZE behaviour is now the default behaviour for
 302   sizer items that are windows.  This means that GetAdjustedBestSize
 303   will now be called by default to determine the minimum size that a
 304   window in a sizer should have.  If you want to still use the initial
 305   size (and not the BestSize) then use the wxFIXED_MINSIZE flag.  When
 306   windows are added to a sizer their initial size is made the window's
 307   min size using SetSizeHints, and calls to wxSizer::SetItemMinSize
 308   are also forwarded to SetSizeHints for window items.
 309 - added wxRegEx::GetMatchCount()
 310 - it is now possible to display images in wxHtmlListBox
 311
 312 wxMSW:
 313
 314 - wxWindow::Freeze()/Thaw() can now be nested
 315 - Added wxSP_NO_XP_THEME style to wxSplitterWindow to switch off
 316   XP theming (some applications look bad without 3D borders)
 317 - wxMenuBar::GetLabelTop() doesn't include '&'s in the label any more
 318 - wxRegConf couldn't read global settings without admin privileges and didn't
 319   even try to do it by default -- now it does
 320 - wxTaskBarIcon must be explicitly destroyed now, otherwise the application
 321   won't exit even though there are no top level windows
 322 - wxFileName::GetModificationTime() works with opened files too now
 323 - wxDC::GetClippingBox() now works even for clipping regions created by Windows
 324 - fixed wxFileDataObject in Unicode build (Alex D)
 325 - subindented paragraphs support (Tim Kosse)
 326
 327 wxGTK:
 328
 329 - added support for wxTE_RIGHT and wxTE_CENTRE styles under GTK2 (Mart Raudsepp)
 330
 331 wxMotif:
 332
 333 - removed wxMenuItem::DeleteSubMenu()
 334 - wxButtons use Motif default size, which is smaller than it used to be
 335   and closer to wxMSW/wxGTK look. This can be disabled by setting
 336   motif.largebuttons system option to 1 (see wxSystemOptions).
 337
 338 wxUniv/X11:
 339
 340 - implemented DrawRoundedRectangle() (clawghoul)
 341
 342 wxHTML:
 343
 344 - improved tables and lists layout algorithms (Tim Kosse)
 345 - <div> handling fix (Xavier Nodet)
 346
 347 Unix:
 348
 349 - fixed priorities of mailcap entries (David Hart)
 350 - added "wx-config --libs=std,<extra>" syntax (i.e. support for "std")
 351
 352 wxODBC:
 353
 354 - Full Unicode support is now available
 355 - BLOB support is working
 356
 357

 374 - check if file exists in wxFileConfig::DeleteFile() (Christian Sturmlechner)
 375 - when wxUSE_STL == 1 wxHashTable will not be implemented using wxHashMap

 571 - Added m_ prefix to wxColourData and wxFontData members
 572 - Added wxHtmlPrintout::AddFilter so HTML printing can be subject to
 573   custom filters as well as HTML viewing.
 574 - Moved wxApp::SendIdleEvents and wxApp::ProcessIdle into common code.

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

 652 - wxLocale::Init no longer reports error if trying to set Unicode-only locale
 653   or if user's default locale is Unicode-only
 654 - improved border handling under Windows XP

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

1514 - Added BC++ 5 IDE files and instructions.
1515 - Fixed wxChoice, wxComboBox constructor bugs (m_noStrings initialisation).
1516 - Fixed focus-related crash.
1517
1518 wxMotif:
1519
1520 - Cured asynchronous wxExecute crash.
1521 - Added repaint event handlers to wxFrame, wxMDIChildFrame.
1522
1523 General:
1524
1525 - wxLocale documented.
1526 - Added include filenames to class reference.
1527 - wxHelpController API changed: SetBrowser becomes SetViewer,
1528   DisplaySection works for WinHelp, help sample compiles under Windows
1529   (though doesn't display help yet).
1530
1531 Beta 4, February 12th 1999
1532 --------------------------
1533
1534 wxGTK:
1535
1536 - Miscellaneous fixes.
1537
1538 wxMSW:
1539
1540 - Makefiles for more compilers and samples; Cygwin makefiles
1541   rationalised.
1542 - Added VC++ project file for compiling wxWidgets as DLL.
1543
1544 wxMotif:
1545
1546 - Added OnEraseBackground invocation.
1547 - Added wxRETAINED implementation for wxScrolledWindow.
1548 - Cured scrolling display problem by adding XmUpdateDisplay.
1549 - Tried to make lex-ing in the makefile more generic (command line
1550   syntax should apply to both lex and flex).
1551 - Changed file selector colours for consistency (except for buttons:
1552   crashes for some reason).
1553 - Fixed wxMotif version of wxImage::ConvertToBitmap (used new instead
1554   of malloc, which causes memory problems).
1555
1556 General:
1557
1558 - Further doc improvements.
1559 - wxGenericValidator added.
1560 - Added wxImageModule to image.cpp, so adds/cleans up standard handlers
1561   automatically.
1562
1563 Beta 3, January 31st 1999
1564 -------------------------
1565
1566 wxGTK:

1569 - wxToolTip class added.
1570 - Miscellaneous fixes.
1571
1572 wxMSW:
1573
1574 - wxRegConfig DeleteAll bug fixed.
1575 - Makefiles for more compilers.
1576 - TWIN32 support added.
1577 - Renamed VC++ makefiles from .nt to .vc, and

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