235 Beta 1, December 24th 1998
236 --------------------------
242 wxMSW, wxMotif: not in sync with this release.
245 Alpha 18, December 29th 1998
246 ----------------------------
250 - Win16 support working again (VC++ 1.5)
251 - Win16 now uses generic wxNotebook, wxListCtrl,
252 wxTreeCtrl -- more or less working now, although
253 a little work on wxNotebook is still needed.
254 Under 16-bit Windows, get assertion when you click
256 - Wrote 16-bit BC++ makefiles: samples don't yet link.
257 - Added CodeWarrior support to distribution courtesy
262 - Cured scrolling problem: scrollbars now show/hide themselves
263 without (permanently) resizing the window.
264 - Removed some commented-out lines in wxScrolledWindow::AdjustScrollbars
265 that disabled scrollbar paging.
266 - Set background colour of drawing area in wxWindow, so e.g. wxListCtrl
268 - Removed major bug whereby dialogs were unmanaged automatically
269 when any button was pressed.
270 - Fixed colours of wxWindow scrollbars, made list and text controls
271 have a white background.
272 - Fixed dialog colour setting.

282 ----------------------------
286 - More documentation updates, especially for
287 wxLayoutWindow classes and debugging facilities.
288 - Changed wxDebugContext to use wxDebugLog instead
290 - Now supports VC++ 6.0, and hopefully BC++ 5.0.
291 However, DLL support may be broken for BC++ since
292 VC++ 6 required changing of WXDLLEXPORT keyword
294 - Numerous miscellaneous changes.
298 - Reimplemented MDI using wxNotebook instead of the MDI widgets, which
299 were too buggy (probably not design for dynamic addition/removal of
301 - Some improvements to the wxNotebook implementation.
302 - wxToolBar now uses a bulletin board instead of a form, in an attempt
303 to make it possible to add ordinary wxControls to a toolbar.
304 - Cured problem with not being able to use global memory operators,
305 by defining two more global operators, so that the delete will match
306 the debugging implementation.
307 - Added wxUSE_DEBUG_NEW_ALWAYS so we can distinguish between using
308 global memory operators (usually OK) and #defining new to be
309 WXDEBUG_NEW (sometimes it might not be OK).
310 - Added time.cpp to makefile; set wxUSE_DATETIME to 1.
311 - Added a parent-existance check to popup menu code to make it not crash.
312 - Added some optimization in wxWindow::SetSize to produce less flicker.
313 It remains to be seen whether this produces any resize bugs.
315 It's a long time since I updated this file. Previously done:
317 - wxFrame, wxDialog done.
318 - wxScrolledWindow done (but backing pixmap not used at present).
319 - wxBitmap done though could be tidied it up at some point.
320 - Most basic controls are there, if not rigorously tested.
321 - Some MDI support (menus appear on child frames at present).
322 - wxNotebook almost done.
323 - wxToolBar done (horizontal only, which would be easy to extend
324 to vertical toolbars).
328 - Colour and font changing done (question mark over what happens
330 - Accelerators done (for menu items and buttons). Also event loop
331 tidied up in wxApp so that events are filtered through ProcessXEvent.
332 - wxWindow::GetUpdateRegion should now work.
334 Alpha 16, September 8th 1998
335 ----------------------------

351 - First go at wxApp, wxWindow, wxDialog, wxPen, wxBrush, wxFont,
352 wxColour, wxButton, wxCheckBox, wxTextCtrl, wxStaticText,
353 wxMenu, wxMenuItem, wxMenuBar
355 Alpha 15, August 31st 1998
356 --------------------------
361 - wxDC::GetDepth added.
362 - Contribution added whereby wxBitmap will be
363 converted to DC depth if they don't match.
364 - wxConfig API improved, documentation updated.
365 - Printing classes name conventions cleaned up.
366 - wxUpdateUIEvent now derives from wxCommandEvent
367 so event can travel up the window hierachy.
369 Alpha 14, July 31st 1998
370 ------------------------
374 - Toolbar API has been simplified, and now
375 wxFrame::GetClientArea returns the available client
376 area when toolbar, status bar etc. have been accounted for.
377 wxFrame::CreateToolBar added in line with CreateStatusBar.
378 - Documentation updates, incl. for wxToolBar.
379 - New wxAcceleratorTable class plus wxFrame::SetAcceleratorTable.
380 - Various additions from other folk, e.g. streams, wxConfig
382 - Added wxDocMDIParentFrame, wxDocMDIChildFrame for doc/view.
384 Alpha 13, July 8th 1998
385 -----------------------
389 - Implemented wxPoint as identical to POINT on Windows, and
390 altered wxDC wxPoint functions to use wxPoint directly in
391 Windows functions, for efficiency.
392 - Cured wxASSERT bug in wxStatusBar95.
393 - #ifdefed out some bits in oleutils.cpp for compilers that
395 - Added some operators to wxPoint, wxSize.
396 - Added inline wxDC functions using wxPoint, wxSize, wxRect.
398 Alpha 12, July 7th 1998
399 -----------------------
403 - Added wxApp::GetComCtl32Version, and wxTB_FLAT style, so can
404 have flat toolbars on Win98 or Win95 with IE >= 3 installed.
406 Alpha 11, July 3rd 1998
407 -----------------------
411 - Added thread.h, thread.cpp.
412 - Changed Enabled, Checked to IsEnabled, IsChecked in wxMenu,
414 - Changed wxMenuItem::SetBackColor to SetBackgroundColour,
415 SetTextColor to SetTextColour, and added or made public several
416 wxMenuItem accessors.
417 - Added two overloads to wxRegion::Contains. Added
418 wxRegion::IsEmpty for a more consistent naming convention.
419 - Added Vadim's wxDataObject and wxDropSource.
420 - ENTER/LEAVE events now work.
421 - Cured wxMemoryDC bug where the DC wasn't being deleted.
422 - Cured wxGauge SetSize major bugginess.
423 - Cured problem where if a GDI object was created on the stack,
424 then went out of scope, then another object was selected into
425 the DC, GDI objects would leak. This is because the assignment
426 to e.g. wxDC::m_pen would delete the GDI object without it first
427 being selected out of the DC. Cured by selecting the old DC object
428 first, then doing the assignment.
429 - Split up wxGaugeMSW, wxGauge95, wxSliderMSW, wxSlider95
430 - Various other bug fixes and additions.
434 - Major work on Dialog Editor (still plenty to go).
435 - Expanded documentation a bit more.
437 Alpha 10, May 7th 1998
438 ----------------------
442 - Added desiredWidth, desiredHeight parameters to wxBitmapHandler
443 and wxIcon functions so that you can specify what size of
444 icon should be loaded. Probably will remain a Windows-specific thing.
445 - wxStatusBar95 now works for MDI frames.
446 - Toolbars in MDI frames now behave normally. They still
447 require application-supplied positioning code though.
448 - Changed installation instructions, makefiles and batch files
449 for compiling with Gnu-Win32/Mingw32/EGCS. Also timercmn.cpp
450 change to support Mingw32/EGCS. Bison now used by default.
452 Alpha 9, April 27th 1998
453 ------------------------
457 - Cured bug in wxStatusBar95 that caused a crash if multiple
459 - Added Gnu-Win32 b19/Mingw32 support by changing resource
460 compilation and pragmas.
461 - Cured wxMenu bug introduced in alpha 8 - didn't respond to
462 commands because VZ changed the id setting in wxMenu::MSWCommand.
466 - Corrected some bugs, such as the wxModule compilation problem.
467 - Added Gnu-Win32 b19/Mingw32 support by changing resource
468 compilation and pragmas.

471 Alpha 8, April 17th 1998
472 ------------------------
476 - Added IsNull to wxGDIObject to check if the ref data is present or not.
477 - Added PNG handler and sample - doesn't work for 16-bit PNGs for
479 - Added wxJoystick class and event handling, and simple demo.
480 - Added simple wxWave class. Needs Stop() function.
481 - Added wxModule (module.h/module.cpp) to allow definition
482 of modules to be initialized and cleaned up on wxWindows
484 - Start of Mingw32 compatibility (see minimal and dialogs samples
485 makefile.m95 files, and install.txt).
486 - Note: Windows printing has stopped working... will investigate.
488 - Updated wxString: bug fixes, added wxArrayString, some
489 compatibility functions.
490 - Updated log.h/cpp, added wxApp::CreateLogTarget.
491 - file.h: new wxTempFile class.
492 - defs.h: added wxSB_SIZE_GRIP for wxStatusBar95
493 - statbr95: wxStatusBar95 control.
494 - registry.h/cpp: wxRegKey class for Win95 registry.
495 - listbox.cpp: corrected some bugs with owner-drawn listboxes.
496 - wxConfig and wxFileConfig classes.
500 - Added src/other/png, src/other/zlib directories.
502 - IMPORTANT: Changed 'no id' number from 0 to -1, in wxEVT_ macros.
503 Porters, please check particularly your wxTreeCtrl and wxListCtrl
505 - Added modules.h/cpp, config.cpp, fileconf.cpp, textfile.cpp/h.
507 Alpha 7, March 30th 1998
508 ------------------------
512 - Added tab classes, tab sample.
513 - Now can return FALSE from OnInit and windows will be
514 cleaned up properly before exit.
515 - Improved border handling so panels don't get borders
517 - Debugged MDI activation from Window menu.
518 - Changes to memory debug handling, including checking for
519 memory leaks on application exit - but see issues.txt for
521 - Added wxTaskBarIcon (taskbar.cpp/h, plus samples/taskbar)
522 to allow maintenance of an icon in the Windows 95 taskbar
524 - Got MFC sample working (MFC and wxWindows in the same
525 application), partly by tweaking ntwxwin.mak settings.
526 - Got DLL compilation working again (VC++).
527 - Changed wxProp/Dialog Editor filenames.
531 - Added tab classes, tab sample.
532 - Revised memory.cpp, memory.h slightly; memory.h now #defines
533 new to WXDEBUG_NEW in DEBUG mode. Windows implementation app.cpp
534 now checks for leaks on exit. Added memcheck sample.
535 See src/msw/issues.txt for more details.
536 - resource.h, resource.cpp changed to make wxDefaultResourceTable
537 a pointer. Now initialize resource system with
538 wxInitializeResourceSystem and wxCleanUpResourceSystem, to
539 allow better control of memory.
540 - wxString now derives from wxObject, to enable memory leak
542 - Added some #include fixes in various files, plus changed
543 float to long in wxToolBar files.
545 Alpha 6, March 10th 1998
546 ------------------------
550 - Found stack error bug - stopped unwanted OnIdle recursion.
551 - Removed bug in wxTreeCtrl::InsertItem I added in alpha 5.
552 - Changed exit behaviour in wxApp/wxFrame/wxDialog. Now will
553 check if the number of top-level windows is zero before
554 exiting. Also, wxApp::GetTopWindow will return either
555 m_topWindow or the first member of wxTopLevelWindows, so you
556 don't have to call wxApp::SetTopWindow.
557 - Added dynarray.h/dynarray.cpp (from Vadim).
558 - Added first cut at OLE drag and drop (from Vadim). dnd sample
559 added. Drop target only at this stage. See src/msw/ole/*.cpp,
560 wx/include/msw/ole/*.h. WIN32 only because of UUID usage.
561 Doesn't work with GnuWin32 - no appropriate headers e.g. for
563 Doesn't work with BC++ either - crashes on program startup.
564 - Added Vadim's owner-draw modifications - will probably remain
565 Windows-only. This enhances wxMenu, wxListBox. See ownerdrw sample.
566 - Added wxLB_OWNERDRAW for owner-draw listboxes.
567 - Vadim's wxCheckListBox derives from wxListBox. See checklst sample.
568 Doesn't entirely work for WIN16.
569 - Vadim has added wxMenuItem as a separate file menuitem.cpp. It
570 can also be used as an argument to wxMenu::Append, not just for
571 internal implementation.
572 - Some #ifdefs done for MINGW32 compilation (just alter OPTIONS
573 in makeg95.env, together with mingw32.bat). However, resource
574 binding is not working yet so most apps with dialogs crash.
578 - Added Vadim's dynarray.h, dynarray.cpp.
579 - Added Vadim's menuitem.cpp.
580 - Added Windows-specific wxCheckListBox,
581 owner-draw wxListBox, and drag-and-drop
582 (see docs/msw/changes.txt).
584 Alpha 5, 14th February 1998
585 --------------------------
589 - GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE
590 DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to
591 the Windows-specific code only. See docs/changes.txt for generic
593 - Removed Windows-specific reference counting system (GDI
594 resources were cleaned up in idle time) - minimal
595 advantages now we have a wxWin reference counting system.
596 - Added missing WXDLLEXPORT keywords so DLL compilation works
598 - Removed most warnings for GnuWin32 compilation.
599 - Added wxRegion/wxRegionIterator, but haven't yet used it in
604 - GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE
605 DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to
606 the generic code only. See docs/msw/changes.txt for Windows-specific
608 - Readmes, change logs and installation files now go in
609 platform-specific directories under docs, e.g. docs/msw,
611 - Added DECLARE_APP and IMPLEMENT_APP macros so wxApp object gets
612 created dynamically, not as a global object.
613 - Put wxColour into wx/msw/colour.h, src/msw/colour.cpp.
614 - Changed names of some include/wx/generic headers to be
615 consistent and to conform to gcc pragma conventions. Also
616 changed choicesg.cpp to choicdgg.cpp.
618 - Added gtk inclusion in include/wx headers.
619 - Added consistent file headings to source and headers.
620 - Removed lang.cpp, lang.h and references to wxSTR_... variables;
621 added a few references to wxTransString.
622 - Added operator to wxTransString that converts automatically
623 to wxString, so we can say e.g. wxMessageBox(wxTransString("Hello"), ...).
624 - samples/internat now works (minimally).
625 - Added wxMouseEvent::GetPosition and
626 wxMouseEvent::GetLogicalPosition, both returning wxPoints.
627 - Made wxSize and wxRect contain longs not ints.
628 - Cured some lemory leaks (thanks Vadim).
629 - Tidied up OnIdle and introduced RequestMore/MoreRequested so
630 will only keep processing OnIdle if it returns TRUE from
633 Alpha 4, 31st January 1998
634 --------------------------
638 - Changed wxDC functions to take longs instead of floats. GetSize now takes
639 integer pointers, plus a version that returns a wxSize.
640 - const keyword added to various wxDC functions.
641 - Under Windows, wxDC no longer has any knowledge of whether
642 an associated window is scrolled or not. Instead, the device
643 origin is set by wxScrolledWindow in wxScrolledWindow::PrepareDC.
644 - wxScrolledWindow applications can optionally override the virtual OnDraw
645 function instead of using the OnPaint event handler. The wxDC passed to
646 OnDraw will be translated by PrepareDC to reflect scrolling.
647 When drawing outside of OnDraw, must call PrepareDC explicitly.
648 - wxToolBarBase/wxToolBarSimple similarly changed to allow for
650 - Integrated wxPostScriptDC patches for 1.xx by Chris Breeze,
651 to help printing with multiple pages.
652 - IPC classes given base classes (wxConnectionBase etc.) which
653 define the API used by different implementations. DDE
654 implementation updated to use these base classes.
655 - wxHelpInstance now separated into wxHelpControllerBase (base
656 for all implementations), wxWinHelpController (uses standard
657 WinHelp), wxXLPHelPController (talks to wxHelp by DDE or
658 TCP/IP). There will be others eventually, such as
659 wxHTMLHelpController for Microsoft (and Netscape?) HTML Help.
660 - Added Vadim Zeitlin's wxString class plus
661 internationalization code (gettext simulation, wxLocale, etc.).
662 New files from Vadim:
668 src\common\string.cpp
672 No longer use GNU wxString files.
673 - Split off file-related functions into include\wx\filefn.h and
674 src\common\filefn.cpp.
675 - Borland C++ support (WIN32) for main library and
676 samples, using makefile.b32 files.
677 - Preparation done for allowing BC++ to compile wxWin as a DLL,
678 including changes to defs.h.
679 - wxIntPoint removed, wxPoint is now int, and wxRealPoint
681 - Added wxShowEvent (generated when window is being shown or
683 - Got minimal, docview, mdi samples working for 16-bit VC++ and
684 cured 16-bit problem with wxTextCtrl (removed global memory
686 - Updated GnuWin32 makefiles, checked minimal, mdi, docview samples.
688 Alpha 3, September 1997
689 -----------------------
693 - wxListCtrl, wxTreeCtrl, wxImageList classes done.
694 - Instigated new file hierarchy, split files and classes up more logically.
695 - PrologIO and some other utils now put into core library.
696 - Revamped print/preview classes, added wxPageSetupDialog.
697 - Started documentation.
699 Alpha 2, 30th April 1997
700 ------------------------
704 - EVT_... macros now have at least one argument, for conformance
705 with MetroWerks compiler.
706 - Added ids to .wxr file format.
707 - Got Dialog Editor compiled and running again but need
708 to extend functionality to be in line with new controls.
709 Added dialoged\test app to allow dynamic loading of .wxr files
710 for testing purposes.
711 - Rewrote wxBitmap to allow installable file type
713 - Rewrote wxBitmapButton, wxStaticBitmap to not use Fafa.
714 - Wrote most of wxTreeCtrl and sample (need wxImageList to implement it
716 - Added back wxRadioBox.
717 - Tidied up wx_main.cpp, wxApp class, putting PenWin code in
720 Alpha 1, 5th April 1997
721 -----------------------
725 At this point, the following has been achieved:
727 - A lot, but not all, of the code has been revamped for better
728 naming conventions, protection of data members, and use of
729 wxString instead of char *.
730 - Obsolete functionality deleted (e.g. default wxPanel layout,
731 old system event system) and code size reduced.
732 - Class hierarchy changed (see design doc) - base classes such
733 as wxbWindow now removed.
734 - No longer includes windows.h in wxWin headers, by using stand-in
735 Windows types where needed e.g. WXHWND.
737 - wxScrolledWindow, wxStatusBar and new MDI classes added.
738 MDI is now achived using separate classes, not window styles.
739 - wxSystemSettings added, and made use of to reflect standard
741 - SetButtonFont/SetLabelFont replaced by SetFont; font and colour
742 settings mucho rationalised.
743 - All windows are now subclassed with the same window proc to make
744 event handling far more consistent. Old internal wxWnd and derived
746 - API for controls revised, in particular addition of
747 wxValidator parameters and removal of labels for some controls.
748 - 1 validator written: see examples/validate.
749 - Event table system introduced (see most samples and
750 wx_event.cpp/ProcessEvent, wx_event.h). wxEvtHandler
751 made more flexible, with Push/PopEventHandler allowing a chain
753 - wxRadioBox removed - will be added back soon.
754 - Toolbar class hierarchy revised:
756 wxToolBarSimple (= old wxToolBar)
757 wxToolBar95 (= old wxButtonBar under Win95
758 wxToolBarMSW (= old wxButtonBar under WIN16/WIN32)
759 - Constraint system debugged somewhat (sizers now work properly).
760 - wxFileDialog, wxDirDialog added; other common dialogs now
761 have class equivalents. Generic colour and font dialogs
762 rewritten to not need obsolete panel layout.
763 - .wxr resource system partially reinstated, though needs
764 an integer ID for controls. Hopefully the resource system
765 will be replaced by something better and more efficient
767 - Device contexts no longer stored with window and accessed
768 with GetDC - use wxClientDC, wxPaintDC, wxWindowDC stack
770 - wxSlider uses trackbar class under Win95, and wxSL_LABELS flag
771 determines whether labels are shown. Other Win95-specific flags
772 introduced, e.g. for showing ticks.
773 - Styles introduced for dealing with 3D effects per window, for
774 any window: all Win95 3D effects supported, plus transparent windows.
775 - Major change to allow 3D effect support without CTL3D, under
777 - Bitmap versions of button and checkbox separated out into new
778 classes, but unimplemented as yet because I intend to remove
779 the need for Fafa - it apparently causes GPFs in Win95 OSR 2.
780 - utils/wxprop classes working (except maybe wxPropertyFormView)
781 in preparation for use in Dialog Editor.
782 - GNU-WIN32 compilation verified (a month or so ago).
