   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 - wxTE_AUTO_URL implemention for wxGTK2 multiline wxTextCtrls (Mart Raudsepp)
  99
 100 wxMac:
 101
 102 - Vertical sliders oriented consistent with MSW/GTK (0 at top) (Kevin Hock)
 103 - wxDynamicLibrary::GetDllExt() now returns ".bundle", not ".dylib"
 104 - wxDynamicLibrary::GetSymbol() now prepends underscore to the symbol name
 105 - wxJoystick now works on OSX
 106
 107 wxMSW:
 108
 109 - fixed enhanced metafiles loading from files (Andreas Goebel)
 110 - wxRadioButtons no longer have to be consecutive in a group
 111 - fixed spurious selection of combobox text during resize
 112 - pass correct tool id (and not always -1) to EVT_TOOL_RCLICKED() handler
 113 - added wxRegKey::Export(file)
 114
 115 wxWinCE:
 116 - Added support for MS Handheld PC 2000. This was done before 2.5.4,
 117   but not mentioned anywhere.
 118 - Added (preliminary) support for sockets
 119
 120 wxUniv:
 121
 122 - wxBU_... button align flags support
 123 - vertical notebook orientation support
 124 - 3rd state support for checkboxes
 125 - wxLB_SORT and wxCB_SORT now cause case-insensitive sorting
 126
 127 wxPalmOS:
 128
 129 - William Osborne has won and new port was born
 130   (see: "wxPalmOS porting challenge")
 131 - polishing of the port (unnecessary 2.4 API compatibility, removed
 132   all wxMSW specific code which was base for the new port)
 133 - enumeration of available volumes
 134 - native wxPrefConfig around Preferences database
 135 - native wxProgressDialog implementation
 136 - native wxColourDialog implementation

 282
 283 2.5.2
 284 -----
 285
 286 All:
 287
 288 - Hindi translation added (Dhananjaya Sharma)
 289 - Brazilian Portuguese translation added (E. A. Tacao)
 290 - wxDynamicCast() now uses static_cast<wxObject *> internally and so using it
 291   with anything not deriving from wxObject will fail at compile time (instead
 292   of run-time) now
 293 - when wxUSE_STL == 1 and STL provides quasi-standard hash_map/hash_set,
 294   wxHashMap/wxHashSet are just typedefs for them. This makes impossible
 295   to forward declare these classes.
 296
 297 All (GUI):
 298
 299 - wxHtmlWindow now delays image scaling until rendering,
 300   resulting in much better display of scaled images
 301 - Added UpdateSize to wxSplitterWindow to allow layout while hidden
 302 - implemented Freeze/Thaw() for wxGenericTreeCtrl (Kevin Hock)
 303 - support for KOI8-U encoding added (Yuriy Tkachenko)
 304 - The old wxADJUST_MINSIZE behaviour is now the default behaviour for
 305   sizer items that are windows.  This means that GetAdjustedBestSize
 306   will now be called by default to determine the minimum size that a
 307   window in a sizer should have.  If you want to still use the initial
 308   size (and not the BestSize) then use the wxFIXED_MINSIZE flag.  When
 309   windows are added to a sizer their initial size is made the window's
 310   min size using SetSizeHints, and calls to wxSizer::SetItemMinSize
 311   are also forwarded to SetSizeHints for window items.
 312 - added wxRegEx::GetMatchCount()
 313 - it is now possible to display images in wxHtmlListBox
 314
 315 wxMSW:
 316
 317 - wxWindow::Freeze()/Thaw() can now be nested
 318 - Added wxSP_NO_XP_THEME style to wxSplitterWindow to switch off
 319   XP theming (some applications look bad without 3D borders)
 320 - wxMenuBar::GetLabelTop() doesn't include '&'s in the label any more
 321 - wxRegConf couldn't read global settings without admin privileges and didn't
 322   even try to do it by default -- now it does
 323 - wxTaskBarIcon must be explicitly destroyed now, otherwise the application
 324   won't exit even though there are no top level windows
 325 - wxFileName::GetModificationTime() works with opened files too now
 326 - wxDC::GetClippingBox() now works even for clipping regions created by Windows
 327 - fixed wxFileDataObject in Unicode build (Alex D)
 328 - subindented paragraphs support (Tim Kosse)
 329
 330 wxGTK:
 331
 332 - added support for wxTE_RIGHT and wxTE_CENTRE styles under GTK2 (Mart Raudsepp)
 333
 334 wxMotif:
 335
 336 - removed wxMenuItem::DeleteSubMenu()
 337 - wxButtons use Motif default size, which is smaller than it used to be
 338   and closer to wxMSW/wxGTK look. This can be disabled by setting
 339   motif.largebuttons system option to 1 (see wxSystemOptions).
 340
 341 wxUniv/X11:
 342
 343 - implemented DrawRoundedRectangle() (clawghoul)
 344
 345 wxHTML:
 346
 347 - improved tables and lists layout algorithms (Tim Kosse)
 348 - <div> handling fix (Xavier Nodet)
 349
 350 Unix:
 351
 352 - fixed priorities of mailcap entries (David Hart)
 353 - added "wx-config --libs=std,<extra>" syntax (i.e. support for "std")
 354
 355 wxODBC:
 356
 357 - Full Unicode support is now available
 358 - BLOB support is working
 359
 360

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

 524   it can't be delete()d). It permits writing code which will work
 525   both with wxUSE_STL==1 and wxUSE_STL==0.
 526

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

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

 656   or if user's default locale is Unicode-only
 657 - improved border handling under Windows XP

 694 OLD CHANGES
 695 ===========
 696
 697 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.2.x
 698 ================================
 699
 700     Please take a few minutes to read the following list, especially
 701     paying attention to the most important changes which are marked
 702     with '!' in the first column.
 703
 704     Also please note that you should ensure that WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_2
 705     is defined to 1 if you wish to retain maximal compatibility with 2.2
 706     series -- however you are also strongly encouraged to try to compile
 707     your code without this define as it won't be default any longer in
 708     2.6 release.
 709
 710     NB: if you want to build your program with different major versions
 711         of wxWidgets you will probably find the wxCHECK_VERSION() macro
 712         (see the documentation) useful.
 713
 714
 715 wxBase:
 716
 717 ! wxArray<T>::Remove(size_t) has been removed to fix compilation problems
 718   under 64 bit architectures, please replace it with RemoveAt() in your
 719   code.
 720
 721 ! wxArray<T> macros have been changed to fix runtime problems under 64 bit
 722   architectures and as a side effect of this WX_DEFINE_ARRAY() can only be
 723   used now for the pointer types, WX_DEFINE_ARRAY_INT should be used for the
 724   arrays containing non-pointers.
 725
 726 - wxObject::CopyObject() and Clone() methods were removed because they
 727   simply don't make sense for all objects
 728
 729 - wxEvent now has a pure virtual Clone() method which must be implemented
 730   by all derived classes, if you have user-defined event classes please
 731   add "wxEvent *Clone() const { return new MyEvent(*this); }" line to them
 732
 733 - small change to wxStopWatch::Pause() semantics, please see the documentation
 734
 735 - unlikely but possible incompatibility: the definition of TRUE has changed
 736   from "1" to "(bool)1" (and the same thing for FALSE), so the code which
 737   could be erroneously compiled previously such as doing "return FALSE" from
 738   a function returning a pointer would stop compiling now (but this change
 739   is not supposed to have any effects on valid code)
 740
 741 - another minor change: wxApp::OnAssert() has a new "cond" argument, you
 742   must modify YourApp::OnAssert() signature if you were using it to override
 743   the default assert handling.
 744
 745 All (GUI):
 746
 747 ! the event type constants are not constants any more but are dynamically
 748   allocated during run-time which means that they can't be used as case labels
 749   in the switch()es, you must rewrite them to use if()s instead
 750
 751   You may also define WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_EVENT_TYPES to get the old behaviour
 752   but this is strongly discouraged, please consider changing your code
 753   instead!
 754
 755 ! wxDialog does not derive from wxPanel any longer - if you were using it in
 756   your code, please update it. The quick fix for the most cases is to replace
 757   the occurrences of wxPanel with wxWindow.
 758
 759 ! if you handle (and don't skip) EVT_KEY_DOWN, the EVT_CHAR event is not
 760   generated at all, so you must call event.Skip() in your OnKeyDown() if
 761   you want to get OnChar() as well
 762
 763 - in general, the key events sent for the various non ASCII key combinations
 764   have been changed to make them consistent over all supported platforms,
 765   please see the wxKeyEvent documentation for details
 766
 767 - wxYES_NO is now wxYES | wxNO and the manifest values of both wxYES and wxNO
 768   have changed (to fix some unfortunate clashes), please check your code to
 769   ensure that no tests for wxYES or wxNO are broken: for example, the following
 770   will *NOT* work any longer:
 771
 772         if ( flags & wxYES_NO )
 773                 ... do something ...
 774         if ( flags & wxYES )
 775                 ... do something else ...
 776
 777 - static wxWizard::Create() doesn't exist any more, the wizards are created
 778   in the same way as all the other wxWindow objects, i.e. by directly using
 779   the ctor
 780
 781 - wxGLCanvas now derives directly from wxWindow, not wxScrolledWindow
 782
 783 - wxGridCellAttrProvider class API changed, you will need to update your code
 784   if you derived any classes from it
 785
 786 - wxImage::ComputeHistogram()'s signature changed to
 787   unsigned long ComputeHistogram(wxImageHistogram&) const
 788
 789 - wxEvtHandler cannot be copied/assigned any longer - this never worked but
 790   now it results in compile-time error instead of run-time crashes
 791
 792 - WXK_NUMLOCK and WXK_SCROLL keys no longer result in EVT_CHAR() events,
 793   they only generate EVT_KEY_DOWN/UP() ones
 794
 795 - the dialogs use wxApp::GetTopWindow() as the parent implicitly if the
 796   parent specified is NULL, use wxDIALOG_NO_PARENT style to prevent this
 797   from happening
 798
 799 - several obsolete synonyms are only retained in WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_2 mode:
 800   for example, use wxScrolledWindow::GetViewStart() now instead of ViewStart()
 801   and GetCount() instead of Number() in many classes
 802
 803 - wxCmdLineParser does not use wxLog to output messages anymore.
 804   to obtain the previous behaviour, add
 805   wxMessageOutput::Set(new wxMessageOutputLog); to your program
 806   (you will need to #include <wx/msgout.h>)
 807
 808 wxMSW:
 809
 810 ! build system changed: setup.h is not a static file in include/wx any more
 811   but is created as part of the build process under lib/<toolkit>/wx
 812   where <toolkit> is of the form (msw|univ)[dll][u][d]. You'll need to update
 813   the include path in your make/project files appropriately. Furthermore,
 814   xpm.lib is no longer used by wxMSW, it was superseded by the wxXPMDecoder
 815   class. You'll need to remove all references to xpm.lib from your
 816   make/project files. Finally, the library names have changed as well and now
 817   use the following consistent naming convention: wxmsw[ver][u][d].(lib|dll)
 818   where 'u' appears for Unicode version, 'd' -- for the debug one and version
 819   is only present for the DLLs builds.
 820
 821 - child frames appear in the taskbar by default now, use wxFRAME_NO_TASKBAR
 822   style to avoid it
 823
 824 - all overloads of wxDC::SetClippingRegion() combine the given region with the
 825   previously selected one instead of replacing it
 826
 827 - wxGetHomeDir() uses HOME environment variable and if it is set will not
 828   return the programs directory any longer but its value (this function has
 829   never been meant to return the programs directory anyhow)
 830
 831 - wxHTML apps don't need to include wx/html/msw/wxhtml.rc in resources file
 832   anymore. The file was removed from wxMSW
 833
 834
 835 Unix ports:
 836
 837 ! You should use `wx-config --cxxflags` in your makefiles instead of
 838   `wx-config --cflags` for compiling C++ files. CXXFLAGS contains CFLAGS
 839   and the compiler flags for C++ files only, CFLAGS should still be used
 840   to compile pure C files.
 841
 842
 843 wxThread and related classes:
 844
 845 - The thread-related classes have been heavily changed since 2.2.x versions
 846   as the old code had many serious problems. This could have resulted in
 847   semantical changes other than those mentioned here, please review use of
 848   wxThread, wxMutex and wxCondition classes in your code.
 849
 850 ! wxCondition now *must* be used with a mutex, please read the (updated) class
 851   documentation for details and revise your code accordingly: this change was
 852   unfortunately needed as it was impossible to ensure the correct behaviour
 853   (i.e. absence of race conditions) using the old API.
 854
 855 - wxMutex is not recursive any more in POSIX implementation (it hasn't been
 856   recursive in 2.2.x but was in 2.3.1 and 2.3.2), please refer to the class
 857   documentation for the discussion of the recursive mutexes.
 858
 859 - wxMutex::IsLocked() doesn't exist any more and should have never existed:
 860   this is was unique example of a thread-unsafe-by-design method.
 861

1516   with names wx.lib, wx_d.lib, wx200.lib(dll), wx200_d.lib(dll).
1517 - Added BC++ 5 IDE files and instructions.
1518 - Fixed wxChoice, wxComboBox constructor bugs (m_noStrings initialisation).
1519 - Fixed focus-related crash.
1520
1521 wxMotif:
1522
1523 - Cured asynchronous wxExecute crash.
1524 - Added repaint event handlers to wxFrame, wxMDIChildFrame.
1525
1526 General:
1527
1528 - wxLocale documented.
1529 - Added include filenames to class reference.
1530 - wxHelpController API changed: SetBrowser becomes SetViewer,
1531   DisplaySection works for WinHelp, help sample compiles under Windows
1532   (though doesn't display help yet).
1533
1534 Beta 4, February 12th 1999
1535 --------------------------
1536
1537 wxGTK:
1538
1539 - Miscellaneous fixes.
1540
1541 wxMSW:
1542
1543 - Makefiles for more compilers and samples; Cygwin makefiles
1544   rationalised.
1545 - Added VC++ project file for compiling wxWidgets as DLL.
1546
1547 wxMotif:
1548
1549 - Added OnEraseBackground invocation.
1550 - Added wxRETAINED implementation for wxScrolledWindow.
1551 - Cured scrolling display problem by adding XmUpdateDisplay.
1552 - Tried to make lex-ing in the makefile more generic (command line
1553   syntax should apply to both lex and flex).
1554 - Changed file selector colours for consistency (except for buttons:
1555   crashes for some reason).
1556 - Fixed wxMotif version of wxImage::ConvertToBitmap (used new instead
1557   of malloc, which causes memory problems).
1558
1559 General:
1560
1561 - Further doc improvements.
1562 - wxGenericValidator added.
1563 - Added wxImageModule to image.cpp, so adds/cleans up standard handlers
1564   automatically.
1565
1566 Beta 3, January 31st 1999
1567 -------------------------
1568
1569 wxGTK:
1570

1572 - wxToolTip class added.
1573 - Miscellaneous fixes.
1574
1575 wxMSW:
1576
1577 - wxRegConfig DeleteAll bug fixed.
1578 - Makefiles for more compilers.
1579 - TWIN32 support added.
1580 - Renamed VC++ makefiles from .nt to .vc, and

1598 Beta 2, January 1999
1599 --------------------
1600
1601 wxGTK:
1602
1603 wxMSW:
1604
1605 - 16-bit BC++ compilation/linking works albeit without the resource system.
1606
1607 wxMotif:
1608
1609 - Cured wxScreenDC origin problem so e.g. sash window sash is drawn at
1610   the right place.
1611 - Cured some widget table clashes.
1612 - Added thread support (Robert).
1613 - wxPoem sample now works.
1614
1615 General:
1616
1617 - Rearranged documentation a bit.
1618 - Sash window uses area of first frame/dialog to paint over when drawing
1619   the dragged sash, not just the sash window itself (it clipped to the right
1620   or below).
1621 - Made resource sample use the correct Cancel button id.
1622 - Moved wxProp to main library (generic directory), created proplist
1623   sample.
1624 - Added bombs and fractal samples.
1625
1626 Beta 1, December 24th 1998
1627 --------------------------
1628
1629 wxGTK:
1630
1631 - Various
1632
1633 wxMSW, wxMotif: not in sync with this release.
1634
1635
1636 Alpha 18, December 29th 1998
1637 ----------------------------
1638
1639 wxMSW:
1640
1641 - Win16 support working again (VC++ 1.5)
1642 - Win16 now uses generic wxNotebook, wxListCtrl,
1643   wxTreeCtrl -- more or less working now, although
1644   a little work on wxNotebook is still needed.
1645   Under 16-bit Windows, get assertion when you click
1646   on a tab.
1647 - Wrote 16-bit BC++ makefiles: samples don't yet link.
1648 - Added CodeWarrior support to distribution courtesy
1649   of Stefan Csomor.
1650
1651 wxMotif:
1652
1653 - Cured scrolling problem: scrollbars now show/hide themselves
1654   without (permanently) resizing the window.
1655 - Removed some commented-out lines in wxScrolledWindow::AdjustScrollbars
1656   that disabled scrollbar paging.
1657 - Set background colour of drawing area in wxWindow, so e.g. wxListCtrl
1658   colours correctly.
1659 - Removed major bug whereby dialogs were unmanaged automatically
1660   when any button was pressed.
1661 - Fixed colours of wxWindow scrollbars, made list and text controls
1662   have a white background.
1663 - Fixed dialog colour setting.
1664 - Added settable fonts and colours for wxMenu/wxMenuBar. Now
1665   they have sensible colours by default.
1666 - Fixed a bug in wxStaticBox.
1667 - Cured wxTreeCtrl bug: now works pretty well!
1668 - Debugged DrawEllipticArc (a ! in the wrong place).
1669 - Added SetClippingRegion( const wxRegion& region ).
1670 - Added wxPoint, wxSize, wxRect versions of SetSize etc.
1671
1672 Alpha 17, November 22nd 1998
1673 ----------------------------
1674
1675 wxMSW:
1676
1677 - More documentation updates, especially for
1678   wxLayoutWindow classes and debugging facilities.
1679 - Changed wxDebugContext to use wxDebugLog instead
1680   of wxTrace.
1681 - Now supports VC++ 6.0, and hopefully BC++ 5.0.
1682   However, DLL support may be broken for BC++ since
1683   VC++ 6 required changing of WXDLLEXPORT keyword
1684   position.
1685 - Numerous miscellaneous changes.
1686
1687 wxMotif:
1688
1689 - Reimplemented MDI using wxNotebook instead of the MDI widgets, which
1690   were too buggy (probably not design for dynamic addition/removal of
1691   child frames).
1692 - Some improvements to the wxNotebook implementation.
1693 - wxToolBar now uses a bulletin board instead of a form, in an attempt
1694   to make it possible to add ordinary wxControls to a toolbar.
1695 - Cured problem with not being able to use global memory operators,
1696   by defining two more global operators, so that the delete will match
1697   the debugging implementation.
1698 - Added wxUSE_DEBUG_NEW_ALWAYS so we can distinguish between using
1699   global memory operators (usually OK) and #defining new to be
1700   WXDEBUG_NEW (sometimes it might not be OK).
1701 - Added time.cpp to makefile; set wxUSE_DATETIME to 1.
1702 - Added a parent-existence check to popup menu code to make it not crash.
1703 - Added some optimization in wxWindow::SetSize to produce less flicker.
1704   It remains to be seen whether this produces any resize bugs.
1705
1706 It's a long time since I updated this file. Previously done:
1707
1708 - wxFrame, wxDialog done.
1709 - wxScrolledWindow done (but backing pixmap not used at present).
1710 - wxBitmap done though could be tidied it up at some point.
1711 - Most basic controls are there, if not rigorously tested.
1712 - Some MDI support (menus appear on child frames at present).
1713 - wxNotebook almost done.
1714 - wxToolBar done (horizontal only, which would be easy to extend
1715   to vertical toolbars).
1716
1717 More recently:
1718
1719 - Colour and font changing done (question mark over what happens
1720   to scrollbars).
1721 - Accelerators done (for menu items and buttons). Also event loop
1722   tidied up in wxApp so that events are filtered through ProcessXEvent.
1723 - wxWindow::GetUpdateRegion should now work.
1724
1725 Alpha 16, September 8th 1998
1726 ----------------------------
1727
1728 wxMSW:
1729
1730 - Added wxSashWindow, wxSashLayoutWindow classes, and sashtest
1731   sample.
1732 - Guilhem's socket classes added, plus wxsocket sample.
1733 - A few more makefiles added.
1734 - GnuWin32/BC++ compatibility mods.
1735 - Further doc updates.
1736 - wxProp updates for correct working with wxGTK.
1737
1738 wxMotif:
1739
1740 - First start at Motif port.
1741 - Made makefiles for wxMotif source directory and minimal sample.
1742 - First go at wxApp, wxWindow, wxDialog, wxPen, wxBrush, wxFont,
1743   wxColour, wxButton, wxCheckBox, wxTextCtrl, wxStaticText,
1744   wxMenu, wxMenuItem, wxMenuBar
1745
1746 Alpha 15, August 31st 1998
1747 --------------------------
1748
1749 wxMSW:
1750
1751 - wxBitmap debugged.
1752 - wxDC::GetDepth added.
1753 - Contribution added whereby wxBitmap will be
1754   converted to DC depth if they don't match.
1755 - wxConfig API improved, documentation updated.
1756 - Printing classes name conventions cleaned up.
1757 - wxUpdateUIEvent now derives from wxCommandEvent
1758   so event can travel up the window hierarchy.
1759
1760 Alpha 14, July 31st 1998
1761 ------------------------
1762
1763 wxMSW:
1764
1765 - Toolbar API has been simplified, and now
1766   wxFrame::GetClientArea returns the available client
1767   area when toolbar, status bar etc. have been accounted for.
1768   wxFrame::CreateToolBar added in line with CreateStatusBar.
1769 - Documentation updates, incl. for wxToolBar.
1770 - New wxAcceleratorTable class plus wxFrame::SetAcceleratorTable.
1771 - Various additions from other folk, e.g. streams, wxConfig
1772   changes, wxNotebook.
1773 - Added wxDocMDIParentFrame, wxDocMDIChildFrame for doc/view.
1774
1775 Alpha 13, July 8th 1998
1776 -----------------------
1777
1778 wxMSW:
1779
1780 - Implemented wxPoint as identical to POINT on Windows, and
1781   altered wxDC wxPoint functions to use wxPoint directly in
1782   Windows functions, for efficiency.
1783 - Cured wxASSERT bug in wxStatusBar95.
1784 - #ifdefed out some bits in oleutils.cpp for compilers that
1785   don't support it.
1786 - Added some operators to wxPoint, wxSize.
1787 - Added inline wxDC functions using wxPoint, wxSize, wxRect.
1788
1789 Alpha 12, July 7th 1998
1790 -----------------------
1791
1792 wxMSW:
1793
1794 - Added wxApp::GetComCtl32Version, and wxTB_FLAT style, so can
1795   have flat toolbars on Win98 or Win95 with IE >= 3 installed.
1796
1797 Alpha 11, July 3rd 1998
1798 -----------------------
1799
1800 wxMSW:
1801
1802 - Added thread.h, thread.cpp.
1803 - Changed Enabled, Checked to IsEnabled, IsChecked in wxMenu,
1804   wxMenuBar.
1805 - Changed wxMenuItem::SetBackColor to SetBackgroundColour,
1806   SetTextColor to SetTextColour, and added or made public several
1807   wxMenuItem accessors.
1808 - Added two overloads to wxRegion::Contains. Added
1809   wxRegion::IsEmpty for a more consistent naming convention.
1810 - Added Vadim's wxDataObject and wxDropSource.
1811 - ENTER/LEAVE events now work.
1812 - Cured wxMemoryDC bug where the DC wasn't being deleted.
1813 - Cured wxGauge SetSize major bugginess.
1814 - Cured problem where if a GDI object was created on the stack,
1815   then went out of scope, then another object was selected into
1816   the DC, GDI objects would leak. This is because the assignment
1817   to e.g. wxDC::m_pen would delete the GDI object without it first
1818   being selected out of the DC. Cured by selecting the old DC object
1819   first, then doing the assignment.
1820 - Split up wxGaugeMSW, wxGauge95, wxSliderMSW, wxSlider95
1821 - Various other bug fixes and additions.
1822
1823 Generic:
1824
1825 - Major work on Dialog Editor (still plenty to go).
1826 - Expanded documentation a bit more.
1827
1828 Alpha 10, May 7th 1998
1829 ----------------------
1830
1831 wxMSW:
1832
1833 - Added desiredWidth, desiredHeight parameters to wxBitmapHandler
1834   and wxIcon functions so that you can specify what size of
1835   icon should be loaded. Probably will remain a Windows-specific thing.
1836 - wxStatusBar95 now works for MDI frames.
1837 - Toolbars in MDI frames now behave normally. They still
1838   require application-supplied positioning code though.
1839 - Changed installation instructions, makefiles and batch files
1840   for compiling with Gnu-Win32/Mingw32/EGCS. Also timercmn.cpp
1841   change to support Mingw32/EGCS. Bison now used by default.
1842
1843 Alpha 9, April 27th 1998
1844 ------------------------
1845
1846 wxMSW:
1847
1848 - Cured bug in wxStatusBar95 that caused a crash if multiple
1849   fields were used.
1850 - Added Gnu-Win32 b19/Mingw32 support by changing resource
1851   compilation and pragmas.
1852 - Cured wxMenu bug introduced in alpha 8 - didn't respond to
1853   commands because VZ changed the id setting in wxMenu::MSWCommand.
1854
1855 Generic:
1856
1857 - Corrected some bugs, such as the wxModule compilation problem.
1858 - Added Gnu-Win32 b19/Mingw32 support by changing resource
1859   compilation and pragmas.
1860 - Changed SIZEOF to WXSIZEOF.
1861
1862 Alpha 8, April 17th 1998
1863 ------------------------
1864
1865 wxMSW:
1866
1867 - Added IsNull to wxGDIObject to check if the ref data is present or not.
1868 - Added PNG handler and sample - doesn't work for 16-bit PNGs for
1869   some reason :-(
1870 - Added wxJoystick class and event handling, and simple demo.
1871 - Added simple wxWave class. Needs Stop() function.
1872 - Added wxModule (module.h/module.cpp) to allow definition
1873   of modules to be initialized and cleaned up on wxWidgets
1874   startup/exit.
1875 - Start of Mingw32 compatibility (see minimal and dialogs samples
1876   makefile.m95 files, and install.txt).
1877 - Note: Windows printing has stopped working... will investigate.
1878 VADIM'S CHANGES:
1879 - Updated wxString: bug fixes, added wxArrayString, some
1880   compatibility functions.
1881 - Updated log.h/cpp, added wxApp::CreateLogTarget.
1882 - file.h: new wxTempFile class.
1883 - defs.h: added wxSB_SIZE_GRIP for wxStatusBar95
1884 - statbr95: wxStatusBar95 control.
1885 - registry.h/cpp: wxRegKey class for Win95 registry.
1886 - listbox.cpp: corrected some bugs with owner-drawn listboxes.
1887 - wxConfig and wxFileConfig classes.
1888
1889 Generic:
1890
1891 - Added src/other/png, src/other/zlib directories.
1892 - Added samples/png.
1893 - IMPORTANT: Changed 'no id' number from 0 to -1, in wxEVT_ macros.
1894   Porters, please check particularly your wxTreeCtrl and wxListCtrl
1895   header files.
1896 - Added modules.h/cpp, config.cpp, fileconf.cpp, textfile.cpp/h.
1897
1898 Alpha 7, March 30th 1998
1899 ------------------------
1900
1901 wxMSW:
1902
1903 - Added tab classes, tab sample.
1904 - Now can return FALSE from OnInit and windows will be
1905   cleaned up properly before exit.
1906 - Improved border handling so panels don't get borders
1907   automatically.
1908 - Debugged MDI activation from Window menu.
1909 - Changes to memory debug handling, including checking for
1910   memory leaks on application exit - but see issues.txt for
1911   unresolved issues.
1912 - Added wxTaskBarIcon (taskbar.cpp/h, plus samples/taskbar)
1913   to allow maintenance of an icon in the Windows 95 taskbar
1914   tray area.
1915 - Got MFC sample working (MFC and wxWidgets in the same
1916   application), partly by tweaking ntwxwin.mak settings.
1917 - Got DLL compilation working again (VC++).
1918 - Changed wxProp/Dialog Editor filenames.
1919
1920 Generic:
1921
1922 - Added tab classes, tab sample.
1923 - Revised memory.cpp, memory.h slightly; memory.h now #defines
1924   new to WXDEBUG_NEW in DEBUG mode. Windows implementation app.cpp
1925   now checks for leaks on exit. Added memcheck sample.
1926   See src/msw/issues.txt for more details.
1927 - resource.h, resource.cpp changed to make wxDefaultResourceTable
1928   a pointer. Now initialize resource system with
1929   wxInitializeResourceSystem and wxCleanUpResourceSystem, to
1930   allow better control of memory.
1931 - wxString now derives from wxObject, to enable memory leak
1932   checking.
1933 - Added some #include fixes in various files, plus changed
1934   float to long in wxToolBar files.
1935
1936 Alpha 6, March 10th 1998
1937 ------------------------
1938
1939 wxMSW:
1940
1941 - Found stack error bug - stopped unwanted OnIdle recursion.
1942 - Removed bug in wxTreeCtrl::InsertItem I added in alpha 5.
1943 - Changed exit behaviour in wxApp/wxFrame/wxDialog. Now will
1944   check if the number of top-level windows is zero before
1945   exiting. Also, wxApp::GetTopWindow will return either
1946   m_topWindow or the first member of wxTopLevelWindows, so you
1947   don't have to call wxApp::SetTopWindow.
1948 - Added dynarray.h/dynarray.cpp (from Vadim).
1949 - Added first cut at OLE drag and drop (from Vadim). dnd sample
1950   added. Drop target only at this stage. See src/msw/ole/*.cpp,
1951   wx/include/msw/ole/*.h. WIN32 only because of UUID usage.
1952   Doesn't work with GnuWin32 - no appropriate headers e.g. for
1953   IUnknown.
1954   Doesn't work with BC++ either - crashes on program startup.
1955 - Added Vadim's owner-draw modifications - will probably remain
1956   Windows-only. This enhances wxMenu, wxListBox. See ownerdrw sample.
1957 - Added wxLB_OWNERDRAW for owner-draw listboxes.
1958 - Vadim's wxCheckListBox derives from wxListBox. See checklst sample.
1959   Doesn't entirely work for WIN16.
1960 - Vadim has added wxMenuItem as a separate file menuitem.cpp. It
1961   can also be used as an argument to wxMenu::Append, not just for
1962   internal implementation.
1963 - Some #ifdefs done for MINGW32 compilation (just alter OPTIONS
1964   in makeg95.env, together with mingw32.bat). However, resource
1965   binding is not working yet so most apps with dialogs crash.
1966
1967 Generic:
1968
1969 - Added Vadim's dynarray.h, dynarray.cpp.
1970 - Added Vadim's menuitem.cpp.
1971 - Added Windows-specific wxCheckListBox,
1972   owner-draw wxListBox, and drag-and-drop
1973   (see docs/msw/changes.txt).
1974
1975 Alpha 5, 14th February 1998
1976 --------------------------
1977
1978 wxMSW:
1979
1980 - GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE
1981   DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to
1982   the Windows-specific code only. See docs/changes.txt for generic
1983   changes.
1984 - Removed Windows-specific reference counting system (GDI
1985   resources were cleaned up in idle time) - minimal
1986   advantages now we have a wxWin reference counting system.
1987 - Added missing WXDLLEXPORT keywords so DLL compilation works
1988   again.
1989 - Removed most warnings for GnuWin32 compilation.
1990 - Added wxRegion/wxRegionIterator, but haven't yet used it in
1991   e.g. wxDC.
1992
1993 Generic:
1994
1995 - GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE
1996   DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to
1997   the generic code only. See docs/msw/changes.txt for Windows-specific
1998   changes.
1999 - Readmes, change logs and installation files now go in
2000   platform-specific directories under docs, e.g. docs/msw,
2001   docs/gtk.
2002 - Added DECLARE_APP and IMPLEMENT_APP macros so wxApp object gets
2003   created dynamically, not as a global object.
2004 - Put wxColour into wx/msw/colour.h, src/msw/colour.cpp.
2005 - Changed names of some include/wx/generic headers to be
2006   consistent and to conform to gcc pragma conventions. Also
2007   changed choicesg.cpp to choicdgg.cpp.
2008 - Added gcc pragmas.
2009 - Added gtk inclusion in include/wx headers.
2010 - Added consistent file headings to source and headers.
2011 - Removed lang.cpp, lang.h and references to wxSTR_... variables;
2012   added a few references to wxTransString.
2013 - Added operator to wxTransString that converts automatically
2014   to wxString, so we can say e.g. wxMessageBox(wxTransString("Hello"), ...).
2015 - samples/internat now works (minimally).
2016 - Added wxMouseEvent::GetPosition and
2017   wxMouseEvent::GetLogicalPosition, both returning wxPoints.
2018 - Made wxSize and wxRect contain longs not ints.
2019 - Cured some memory leaks (thanks Vadim).
2020 - Tidied up OnIdle and introduced RequestMore/MoreRequested so
2021   will only keep processing OnIdle if it returns TRUE from
2022   MoreRequested.
2023
2024 Alpha 4, 31st January 1998
2025 --------------------------
2026
2027 All:
2028
2029 - Changed wxDC functions to take longs instead of floats. GetSize now takes
2030   integer pointers, plus a version that returns a wxSize.
2031 - const keyword added to various wxDC functions.
2032 - Under Windows, wxDC no longer has any knowledge of whether
2033   an associated window is scrolled or not. Instead, the device
2034   origin is set by wxScrolledWindow in wxScrolledWindow::PrepareDC.
2035 - wxScrolledWindow applications can optionally override the virtual OnDraw
2036   function instead of using the OnPaint event handler. The wxDC passed to
2037   OnDraw will be translated by PrepareDC to reflect scrolling.
2038   When drawing outside of OnDraw, must call PrepareDC explicitly.
2039 - wxToolBarBase/wxToolBarSimple similarly changed to allow for
2040   scrolling toolbars.
2041 - Integrated wxPostScriptDC patches for 1.xx by Chris Breeze,
2042   to help printing with multiple pages.
2043 - IPC classes given base classes (wxConnectionBase etc.) which
2044   define the API used by different implementations. DDE
2045   implementation updated to use these base classes.
2046 - wxHelpInstance now separated into wxHelpControllerBase (base
2047   for all implementations), wxWinHelpController (uses standard
2048   WinHelp), wxXLPHelpController (talks to wxHelp by DDE or
2049   TCP/IP). There will be others eventually, such as
2050   wxHTMLHelpController for Microsoft (and Netscape?) HTML Help.
2051 - Added Vadim Zeitlin's wxString class plus
2052   internationalization code (gettext simulation, wxLocale, etc.).
2053   New files from Vadim:
2054   include\wx\string.h
2055   include\wx\debug.h
2056   include\wx\file.h
2057   include\wx\log.h
2058   include\wx\intl.h
2059   src\common\string.cpp
2060   src\common\log.cpp
2061   src\common\intl.cpp
2062   src\common\file.cpp
2063   No longer use GNU wxString files.
2064 - Split off file-related functions into include\wx\filefn.h and
2065   src\common\filefn.cpp.
2066 - Borland C++ support (WIN32) for main library and
2067   samples, using makefile.b32 files.
2068 - Preparation done for allowing BC++ to compile wxWin as a DLL,
2069   including changes to defs.h.
2070 - wxIntPoint removed, wxPoint is now int, and wxRealPoint
2071   introduced.
2072 - Added wxShowEvent (generated when window is being shown or
2073   hidden).
2074 - Got minimal, docview, mdi samples working for 16-bit VC++ and
2075   cured 16-bit problem with wxTextCtrl (removed global memory
2076   trick).
2077 - Updated GnuWin32 makefiles, checked minimal, mdi, docview samples.
2078
2079 Alpha 3, September 1997
2080 -----------------------
2081
2082 All:
2083
2084 - wxListCtrl, wxTreeCtrl, wxImageList classes done.
2085 - Instigated new file hierarchy, split files and classes up more logically.
2086 - PrologIO and some other utils now put into core library.
2087 - Revamped print/preview classes, added wxPageSetupDialog.
2088 - Started documentation.
2089
2090 Alpha 2, 30th April 1997
2091 ------------------------
2092
2093 All:
2094
2095 - EVT_... macros now have at least one argument, for conformance
2096   with MetroWerks compiler.
2097 - Added ids to .wxr file format.
2098 - Got Dialog Editor compiled and running again but need
2099   to extend functionality to be in line with new controls.
2100   Added dialoged\test app to allow dynamic loading of .wxr files
2101   for testing purposes.
2102 - Rewrote wxBitmap to allow installable file type
2103   handlers.
2104 - Rewrote wxBitmapButton, wxStaticBitmap to not use Fafa.
2105 - Wrote most of wxTreeCtrl and sample (need wxImageList to implement it
2106   fully).
2107 - Added back wxRadioBox.
2108 - Tidied up wx_main.cpp, wxApp class, putting PenWin code in
2109   a separate file.
2110
2111 Alpha 1, 5th April 1997
2112 -----------------------
2113
2114 Generic:
2115
2116 At this point, the following has been achieved:
2117
2118 - A lot, but not all, of the code has been revamped for better
2119   naming conventions, protection of data members, and use of
2120   wxString instead of char *.
2121 - Obsolete functionality deleted (e.g. default wxPanel layout,
2122   old system event system) and code size reduced.
2123 - Class hierarchy changed (see design doc) - base classes such
2124   as wxbWindow now removed.
2125 - No longer includes windows.h in wxWin headers, by using stand-in
2126   Windows types where needed e.g. WXHWND.
2127 - PrologIO revised.
2128 - wxScrolledWindow, wxStatusBar and new MDI classes added.
2129   MDI is now achieved using separate classes, not window styles.
2130 - wxSystemSettings added, and made use of to reflect standard
2131   Windows settings.
2132 - SetButtonFont/SetLabelFont replaced by SetFont; font and colour
2133   settings mucho rationalised.
2134 - All windows are now subclassed with the same window proc to make
2135   event handling far more consistent. Old internal wxWnd and derived
2136   classes removed.
2137 - API for controls revised, in particular addition of
2138   wxValidator parameters and removal of labels for some controls.
2139 - 1 validator written: see examples/validate.
2140 - Event table system introduced (see most samples and
2141   wx_event.cpp/ProcessEvent, wx_event.h). wxEvtHandler
2142   made more flexible, with Push/PopEventHandler allowing a chain
2143   of event handlers.
2144 - wxRadioBox removed - will be added back soon.
2145 - Toolbar class hierarchy revised:
2146   wxToolBarBase
2147   wxToolBarSimple (= old wxToolBar)
2148   wxToolBar95 (= old wxButtonBar under Win95)
2149   wxToolBarMSW (= old wxButtonBar under WIN16/WIN32)
2150 - Constraint system debugged somewhat (sizers now work properly).
2151 - wxFileDialog, wxDirDialog added; other common dialogs now
2152   have class equivalents. Generic colour and font dialogs
2153   rewritten to not need obsolete panel layout.
2154 - .wxr resource system partially reinstated, though needs
2155   an integer ID for controls. Hopefully the resource system
2156   will be replaced by something better and more efficient
2157   in the future.
2158 - Device contexts no longer stored with window and accessed
2159   with GetDC - use wxClientDC, wxPaintDC, wxWindowDC stack
2160   variables instead.
2161 - wxSlider uses trackbar class under Win95, and wxSL_LABELS flag
2162   determines whether labels are shown. Other Win95-specific flags
2163   introduced, e.g. for showing ticks.
2164 - Styles introduced for dealing with 3D effects per window, for
2165   any window: all Win95 3D effects supported, plus transparent windows.
2166 - Major change to allow 3D effect support without CTL3D, under
2167   Win95.
2168 - Bitmap versions of button and checkbox separated out into new
2169   classes, but unimplemented as yet because I intend to remove
2170   the need for Fafa - it apparently causes GPFs in Win95 OSR 2.
2171 - utils/wxprop classes working (except maybe wxPropertyFormView)
2172   in preparation for use in Dialog Editor.
2173 - GNU-WIN32 compilation verified (a month or so ago).
