220 - Added bombs and fractal samples.
222 Beta 1, December 24th 1998
223 --------------------------
229 wxMSW, wxMotif: not in sync with this release.
232 Alpha 18, December 29th 1998
233 ----------------------------
237 - Win16 support working again (VC++ 1.5)
238 - Win16 now uses generic wxNotebook, wxListCtrl,
239 wxTreeCtrl -- more or less working now, although
240 a little work on wxNotebook is still needed.
241 Under 16-bit Windows, get assertion when you click
243 - Wrote 16-bit BC++ makefiles: samples don't yet link.
244 - Added CodeWarrior support to distribution courtesy
249 - Cured scrolling problem: scrollbars now show/hide themselves
250 without (permanently) resizing the window.
251 - Removed some commented-out lines in wxScrolledWindow::AdjustScrollbars
252 that disabled scrollbar paging.
253 - Set background colour of drawing area in wxWindow, so e.g. wxListCtrl
255 - Removed major bug whereby dialogs were unmanaged automatically
256 when any button was pressed.
257 - Fixed colours of wxWindow scrollbars, made list and text controls
258 have a white background.
259 - Fixed dialog colour setting.

268 Alpha 17, November 22nd 1998
269 ----------------------------
273 - More documentation updates, especially for
274 wxLayoutWindow classes and debugging facilities.
275 - Changed wxDebugContext to use wxDebugLog instead
277 - Now supports VC++ 6.0, and hopefully BC++ 5.0.
278 However, DLL support may be broken for BC++ since
279 VC++ 6 required changing of WXDLLEXPORT keyword
281 - Numerous miscellaneous changes.
285 - Reimplemented MDI using wxNotebook instead of the MDI widgets, which
286 were too buggy (probably not design for dynamic addition/removal of
288 - Some improvements to the wxNotebook implementation.
289 - wxToolBar now uses a bulletin board instead of a form, in an attempt
290 to make it possible to add ordinary wxControls to a toolbar.
291 - Cured problem with not being able to use global memory operators,
292 by defining two more global operators, so that the delete will match
293 the debugging implementation.
294 - Added wxUSE_DEBUG_NEW_ALWAYS so we can distinguish between using
295 global memory operators (usually OK) and #defining new to be
296 WXDEBUG_NEW (sometimes it might not be OK).
297 - Added time.cpp to makefile; set wxUSE_DATETIME to 1.
298 - Added a parent-existance check to popup menu code to make it not crash.
299 - Added some optimization in wxWindow::SetSize to produce less flicker.
300 It remains to be seen whether this produces any resize bugs.
302 It's a long time since I updated this file. Previously done:
304 - wxFrame, wxDialog done.
305 - wxScrolledWindow done (but backing pixmap not used at present).
306 - wxBitmap done though could be tidied it up at some point.
307 - Most basic controls are there, if not rigorously tested.
308 - Some MDI support (menus appear on child frames at present).
309 - wxNotebook almost done.
310 - wxToolBar done (horizontal only, which would be easy to extend
311 to vertical toolbars).
315 - Colour and font changing done (question mark over what happens
317 - Accelerators done (for menu items and buttons). Also event loop
318 tidied up in wxApp so that events are filtered through ProcessXEvent.
319 - wxWindow::GetUpdateRegion should now work.
321 Alpha 16, September 8th 1998
322 ----------------------------

337 - Made makefiles for wxMotif source directory and minimal sample.
338 - First go at wxApp, wxWindow, wxDialog, wxPen, wxBrush, wxFont,
339 wxColour, wxButton, wxCheckBox, wxTextCtrl, wxStaticText,
340 wxMenu, wxMenuItem, wxMenuBar
342 Alpha 15, August 31st 1998
343 --------------------------
348 - wxDC::GetDepth added.
349 - Contribution added whereby wxBitmap will be
350 converted to DC depth if they don't match.
351 - wxConfig API improved, documentation updated.
352 - Printing classes name conventions cleaned up.
353 - wxUpdateUIEvent now derives from wxCommandEvent
354 so event can travel up the window hierachy.
356 Alpha 14, July 31st 1998
357 ------------------------
361 - Toolbar API has been simplified, and now
362 wxFrame::GetClientArea returns the available client
363 area when toolbar, status bar etc. have been accounted for.
364 wxFrame::CreateToolBar added in line with CreateStatusBar.
365 - Documentation updates, incl. for wxToolBar.
366 - New wxAcceleratorTable class plus wxFrame::SetAcceleratorTable.
367 - Various additions from other folk, e.g. streams, wxConfig
369 - Added wxDocMDIParentFrame, wxDocMDIChildFrame for doc/view.
371 Alpha 13, July 8th 1998
372 -----------------------
376 - Implemented wxPoint as identical to POINT on Windows, and
377 altered wxDC wxPoint functions to use wxPoint directly in
378 Windows functions, for efficiency.
379 - Cured wxASSERT bug in wxStatusBar95.
380 - #ifdefed out some bits in oleutils.cpp for compilers that
382 - Added some operators to wxPoint, wxSize.
383 - Added inline wxDC functions using wxPoint, wxSize, wxRect.
385 Alpha 12, July 7th 1998
386 -----------------------
390 - Added wxApp::GetComCtl32Version, and wxTB_FLAT style, so can
391 have flat toolbars on Win98 or Win95 with IE >= 3 installed.
393 Alpha 11, July 3rd 1998
394 -----------------------
398 - Added thread.h, thread.cpp.
399 - Changed Enabled, Checked to IsEnabled, IsChecked in wxMenu,
401 - Changed wxMenuItem::SetBackColor to SetBackgroundColour,
402 SetTextColor to SetTextColour, and added or made public several
403 wxMenuItem accessors.
404 - Added two overloads to wxRegion::Contains. Added
405 wxRegion::IsEmpty for a more consistent naming convention.
406 - Added Vadim's wxDataObject and wxDropSource.
407 - ENTER/LEAVE events now work.
408 - Cured wxMemoryDC bug where the DC wasn't being deleted.
409 - Cured wxGauge SetSize major bugginess.
410 - Cured problem where if a GDI object was created on the stack,
411 then went out of scope, then another object was selected into
412 the DC, GDI objects would leak. This is because the assignment
413 to e.g. wxDC::m_pen would delete the GDI object without it first
414 being selected out of the DC. Cured by selecting the old DC object
415 first, then doing the assignment.
416 - Split up wxGaugeMSW, wxGauge95, wxSliderMSW, wxSlider95
417 - Various other bug fixes and additions.
421 - Major work on Dialog Editor (still plenty to go).
422 - Expanded documentation a bit more.
424 Alpha 10, May 7th 1998
425 ----------------------
429 - Added desiredWidth, desiredHeight parameters to wxBitmapHandler
430 and wxIcon functions so that you can specify what size of
431 icon should be loaded. Probably will remain a Windows-specific thing.
432 - wxStatusBar95 now works for MDI frames.
433 - Toolbars in MDI frames now behave normally. They still
434 require application-supplied positioning code though.
435 - Changed installation instructions, makefiles and batch files
436 for compiling with Gnu-Win32/Mingw32/EGCS. Also timercmn.cpp
437 change to support Mingw32/EGCS. Bison now used by default.
439 Alpha 9, April 27th 1998
440 ------------------------
444 - Cured bug in wxStatusBar95 that caused a crash if multiple
446 - Added Gnu-Win32 b19/Mingw32 support by changing resource
447 compilation and pragmas.
448 - Cured wxMenu bug introduced in alpha 8 - didn't respond to
449 commands because VZ changed the id setting in wxMenu::MSWCommand.
453 - Corrected some bugs, such as the wxModule compilation problem.
454 - Added Gnu-Win32 b19/Mingw32 support by changing resource
455 compilation and pragmas.

458 Alpha 8, April 17th 1998
459 ------------------------
463 - Added IsNull to wxGDIObject to check if the ref data is present or not.
464 - Added PNG handler and sample - doesn't work for 16-bit PNGs for
466 - Added wxJoystick class and event handling, and simple demo.
467 - Added simple wxWave class. Needs Stop() function.
468 - Added wxModule (module.h/module.cpp) to allow definition
469 of modules to be initialized and cleaned up on wxWindows
471 - Start of Mingw32 compatibility (see minimal and dialogs samples
472 makefile.m95 files, and install.txt).
473 - Note: Windows printing has stopped working... will investigate.
475 - Updated wxString: bug fixes, added wxArrayString, some
476 compatibility functions.
477 - Updated log.h/cpp, added wxApp::CreateLogTarget.
478 - file.h: new wxTempFile class.
479 - defs.h: added wxSB_SIZE_GRIP for wxStatusBar95
480 - statbr95: wxStatusBar95 control.
481 - registry.h/cpp: wxRegKey class for Win95 registry.
482 - listbox.cpp: corrected some bugs with owner-drawn listboxes.
483 - wxConfig and wxFileConfig classes.
487 - Added src/other/png, src/other/zlib directories.
489 - IMPORTANT: Changed 'no id' number from 0 to -1, in wxEVT_ macros.
490 Porters, please check particularly your wxTreeCtrl and wxListCtrl
492 - Added modules.h/cpp, config.cpp, fileconf.cpp, textfile.cpp/h.
494 Alpha 7, March 30th 1998
495 ------------------------
499 - Added tab classes, tab sample.
500 - Now can return FALSE from OnInit and windows will be
501 cleaned up properly before exit.
502 - Improved border handling so panels don't get borders
504 - Debugged MDI activation from Window menu.
505 - Changes to memory debug handling, including checking for
506 memory leaks on application exit - but see issues.txt for
508 - Added wxTaskBarIcon (taskbar.cpp/h, plus samples/taskbar)
509 to allow maintenance of an icon in the Windows 95 taskbar
511 - Got MFC sample working (MFC and wxWindows in the same
512 application), partly by tweaking ntwxwin.mak settings.
513 - Got DLL compilation working again (VC++).
514 - Changed wxProp/Dialog Editor filenames.
518 - Added tab classes, tab sample.
519 - Revised memory.cpp, memory.h slightly; memory.h now #defines
520 new to WXDEBUG_NEW in DEBUG mode. Windows implementation app.cpp
521 now checks for leaks on exit. Added memcheck sample.
522 See src/msw/issues.txt for more details.
523 - resource.h, resource.cpp changed to make wxDefaultResourceTable
524 a pointer. Now initialize resource system with
525 wxInitializeResourceSystem and wxCleanUpResourceSystem, to
526 allow better control of memory.
527 - wxString now derives from wxObject, to enable memory leak
529 - Added some #include fixes in various files, plus changed
530 float to long in wxToolBar files.
532 Alpha 6, March 10th 1998
533 ------------------------
537 - Found stack error bug - stopped unwanted OnIdle recursion.
538 - Removed bug in wxTreeCtrl::InsertItem I added in alpha 5.
539 - Changed exit behaviour in wxApp/wxFrame/wxDialog. Now will
540 check if the number of top-level windows is zero before
541 exiting. Also, wxApp::GetTopWindow will return either
542 m_topWindow or the first member of wxTopLevelWindows, so you
543 don't have to call wxApp::SetTopWindow.
544 - Added dynarray.h/dynarray.cpp (from Vadim).
545 - Added first cut at OLE drag and drop (from Vadim). dnd sample
546 added. Drop target only at this stage. See src/msw/ole/*.cpp,
547 wx/include/msw/ole/*.h. WIN32 only because of UUID usage.
548 Doesn't work with GnuWin32 - no appropriate headers e.g. for
550 Doesn't work with BC++ either - crashes on program startup.
551 - Added Vadim's owner-draw modifications - will probably remain
552 Windows-only. This enhances wxMenu, wxListBox. See ownerdrw sample.
553 - Added wxLB_OWNERDRAW for owner-draw listboxes.
554 - Vadim's wxCheckListBox derives from wxListBox. See checklst sample.
555 Doesn't entirely work for WIN16.
556 - Vadim has added wxMenuItem as a separate file menuitem.cpp. It
557 can also be used as an argument to wxMenu::Append, not just for
558 internal implementation.
559 - Some #ifdefs done for MINGW32 compilation (just alter OPTIONS
560 in makeg95.env, together with mingw32.bat). However, resource
561 binding is not working yet so most apps with dialogs crash.
565 - Added Vadim's dynarray.h, dynarray.cpp.
566 - Added Vadim's menuitem.cpp.
567 - Added Windows-specific wxCheckListBox,
568 owner-draw wxListBox, and drag-and-drop
569 (see docs/msw/changes.txt).
571 Alpha 5, 14th February 1998
572 --------------------------
576 - GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE
577 DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to
578 the Windows-specific code only. See docs/changes.txt for generic
580 - Removed Windows-specific reference counting system (GDI
581 resources were cleaned up in idle time) - minimal
582 advantages now we have a wxWin reference counting system.
583 - Added missing WXDLLEXPORT keywords so DLL compilation works
585 - Removed most warnings for GnuWin32 compilation.
586 - Added wxRegion/wxRegionIterator, but haven't yet used it in
591 - GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE
592 DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to
593 the generic code only. See docs/msw/changes.txt for Windows-specific
595 - Readmes, change logs and installation files now go in
596 platform-specific directories under docs, e.g. docs/msw,
598 - Added DECLARE_APP and IMPLEMENT_APP macros so wxApp object gets
599 created dynamically, not as a global object.
600 - Put wxColour into wx/msw/colour.h, src/msw/colour.cpp.
601 - Changed names of some include/wx/generic headers to be
602 consistent and to conform to gcc pragma conventions. Also
603 changed choicesg.cpp to choicdgg.cpp.
605 - Added gtk inclusion in include/wx headers.
606 - Added consistent file headings to source and headers.
607 - Removed lang.cpp, lang.h and references to wxSTR_... variables;
608 added a few references to wxTransString.
609 - Added operator to wxTransString that converts automatically
610 to wxString, so we can say e.g. wxMessageBox(wxTransString("Hello"), ...).
611 - samples/internat now works (minimally).
612 - Added wxMouseEvent::GetPosition and
613 wxMouseEvent::GetLogicalPosition, both returning wxPoints.
614 - Made wxSize and wxRect contain longs not ints.
615 - Cured some lemory leaks (thanks Vadim).
616 - Tidied up OnIdle and introduced RequestMore/MoreRequested so
617 will only keep processing OnIdle if it returns TRUE from
620 Alpha 4, 31st January 1998
621 --------------------------
625 - Changed wxDC functions to take longs instead of floats. GetSize now takes
626 integer pointers, plus a version that returns a wxSize.
627 - const keyword added to various wxDC functions.
628 - Under Windows, wxDC no longer has any knowledge of whether
629 an associated window is scrolled or not. Instead, the device
630 origin is set by wxScrolledWindow in wxScrolledWindow::PrepareDC.
631 - wxScrolledWindow applications can optionally override the virtual OnDraw
632 function instead of using the OnPaint event handler. The wxDC passed to
633 OnDraw will be translated by PrepareDC to reflect scrolling.
634 When drawing outside of OnDraw, must call PrepareDC explicitly.
635 - wxToolBarBase/wxToolBarSimple similarly changed to allow for
637 - Integrated wxPostScriptDC patches for 1.xx by Chris Breeze,
638 to help printing with multiple pages.
639 - IPC classes given base classes (wxConnectionBase etc.) which
640 define the API used by different implementations. DDE
641 implementation updated to use these base classes.
642 - wxHelpInstance now separated into wxHelpControllerBase (base
643 for all implementations), wxWinHelpController (uses standard
644 WinHelp), wxXLPHelPController (talks to wxHelp by DDE or
645 TCP/IP). There will be others eventually, such as
646 wxHTMLHelpController for Microsoft (and Netscape?) HTML Help.
647 - Added Vadim Zeitlin's wxString class plus
648 internationalization code (gettext simulation, wxLocale, etc.).
649 New files from Vadim:
655 src\common\string.cpp
659 No longer use GNU wxString files.
660 - Split off file-related functions into include\wx\filefn.h and
661 src\common\filefn.cpp.
662 - Borland C++ support (WIN32) for main library and
663 samples, using makefile.b32 files.
664 - Preparation done for allowing BC++ to compile wxWin as a DLL,
665 including changes to defs.h.
666 - wxIntPoint removed, wxPoint is now int, and wxRealPoint
668 - Added wxShowEvent (generated when window is being shown or
670 - Got minimal, docview, mdi samples working for 16-bit VC++ and
671 cured 16-bit problem with wxTextCtrl (removed global memory
673 - Updated GnuWin32 makefiles, checked minimal, mdi, docview samples.
675 Alpha 3, September 1997
676 -----------------------
680 - wxListCtrl, wxTreeCtrl, wxImageList classes done.
681 - Instigated new file hierarchy, split files and classes up more logically.
682 - PrologIO and some other utils now put into core library.
683 - Revamped print/preview classes, added wxPageSetupDialog.
684 - Started documentation.
686 Alpha 2, 30th April 1997
687 ------------------------
691 - EVT_... macros now have at least one argument, for conformance
692 with MetroWerks compiler.
693 - Added ids to .wxr file format.
694 - Got Dialog Editor compiled and running again but need
695 to extend functionality to be in line with new controls.
696 Added dialoged\test app to allow dynamic loading of .wxr files
697 for testing purposes.
698 - Rewrote wxBitmap to allow installable file type
700 - Rewrote wxBitmapButton, wxStaticBitmap to not use Fafa.
701 - Wrote most of wxTreeCtrl and sample (need wxImageList to implement it
703 - Added back wxRadioBox.
704 - Tidied up wx_main.cpp, wxApp class, putting PenWin code in
707 Alpha 1, 5th April 1997
708 -----------------------
712 At this point, the following has been achieved:
714 - A lot, but not all, of the code has been revamped for better
715 naming conventions, protection of data members, and use of
716 wxString instead of char *.
717 - Obsolete functionality deleted (e.g. default wxPanel layout,
718 old system event system) and code size reduced.
719 - Class hierarchy changed (see design doc) - base classes such
720 as wxbWindow now removed.
721 - No longer includes windows.h in wxWin headers, by using stand-in
722 Windows types where needed e.g. WXHWND.
724 - wxScrolledWindow, wxStatusBar and new MDI classes added.
725 MDI is now achived using separate classes, not window styles.
726 - wxSystemSettings added, and made use of to reflect standard
728 - SetButtonFont/SetLabelFont replaced by SetFont; font and colour
729 settings mucho rationalised.
730 - All windows are now subclassed with the same window proc to make
731 event handling far more consistent. Old internal wxWnd and derived
733 - API for controls revised, in particular addition of
734 wxValidator parameters and removal of labels for some controls.
735 - 1 validator written: see examples/validate.
736 - Event table system introduced (see most samples and
737 wx_event.cpp/ProcessEvent, wx_event.h). wxEvtHandler
738 made more flexible, with Push/PopEventHandler allowing a chain
740 - wxRadioBox removed - will be added back soon.
741 - Toolbar class hierarchy revised:
743 wxToolBarSimple (= old wxToolBar)
744 wxToolBar95 (= old wxButtonBar under Win95
745 wxToolBarMSW (= old wxButtonBar under WIN16/WIN32)
746 - Constraint system debugged somewhat (sizers now work properly).
747 - wxFileDialog, wxDirDialog added; other common dialogs now
748 have class equivalents. Generic colour and font dialogs
749 rewritten to not need obsolete panel layout.
750 - .wxr resource system partially reinstated, though needs
751 an integer ID for controls. Hopefully the resource system
752 will be replaced by something better and more efficient
754 - Device contexts no longer stored with window and accessed
755 with GetDC - use wxClientDC, wxPaintDC, wxWindowDC stack
757 - wxSlider uses trackbar class under Win95, and wxSL_LABELS flag
758 determines whether labels are shown. Other Win95-specific flags
759 introduced, e.g. for showing ticks.
760 - Styles introduced for dealing with 3D effects per window, for
761 any window: all Win95 3D effects supported, plus transparent windows.
762 - Major change to allow 3D effect support without CTL3D, under
764 - Bitmap versions of button and checkbox separated out into new
765 classes, but unimplemented as yet because I intend to remove
766 the need for Fafa - it apparently causes GPFs in Win95 OSR 2.
767 - utils/wxprop classes working (except maybe wxPropertyFormView)
768 in preparation for use in Dialog Editor.
769 - GNU-WIN32 compilation verified (a month or so ago).
