   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 that.
  51 - Various changes to how wxListCtrl and wxTreeCtrl react to right
  52   mouse clicks and left mouse click for starting a drag operation.
  53 - "Alt" key (VK_MENU) now results in WXK_ALT keyboard event, not WXK_MENU
  54 - wxFFile::ReadAll() now takes an optional wxMBConv parameter
  55 - wxCommandProcessor::MarkAsSaved() and IsDirty() added (Angela Wrobel)
  56
  57
  58 All (GUI):
  59
  60 - added wxMediaCtrl
  61 - added wxDatePickerCtrl
  62 - wxHtmlWindow now supports background images given in <body> tag
  63 - wxSplitterWindow now supports gravity parameter (Zbigniew Zagórski)
  64 - recursive wxSizer::GetItem returns item of given window, sizer or nth index
  65 - wxLayoutConstraints now use best size, not current size, for AsIs() condition
  66 - wxSizer::Add/Insert etc. now returns pointer to wxSizerItem just added and this
  67   item remembers its wxRect area (Brian A. Vanderburg II)
  68 - wxBookCtrl renamed to wxBookCtrlBase, wxBookCtrl is reserved for most native
  69   book control (for now wxChoicebook for MSSmartphone, wxNotebook for others).
  70   Necessary event macros, types and styles mapped accordingly.
  71 - new wxBrush::IsHatch() checking for brush type replaces IS_HATCH macro
  72 - wxProgressDialog accepts smooth gauge again (wxPD_SMOOTH style)
  73 - wxProgressDialog new style: wxPD_CAN_SKIP which provides skipping some parts
  74   of the progress (with new "Skip" button in dialog)
  75
  76 Unix:
  77
  78 - wxPuts() now correctly outputs trailing new line in Unicode build
  79
  80 wxGTK:
  81
  82 - Added printing support by way of using libgnomeprint. The library
  83   now checks at runtime, if the library is installed and will use it
  84   if it is. Otherwise, it will fall back to the old PostScript printing
  85   code, from which the Pango drawing code was removed.
  86 - Implemented/improved wxDC::DrawRotatedText()
  87 - fixed wxFileDialog::SetWildcard()
  88 - native file dialog is now used if available (Zbigniew Zagorski)
  89 - implemented wxTextCtrl::Freeze() and Thaw(). The GtkTextBuffer
  90   is not a valid one during frozen state. Get a pointer to it right
  91   after wxTextCtrl creation if you really need to. (Mart Raudsepp)
  92 - Changed calls to GTK+ 2.4.x functions so that the code checks at
  93   runtime, which library version is installed so that these functions
  94   are only called with GTK+ 2.4.x installed and should yield linker
  95   errors otherwise.
  96 - wxTextCtrl text insertion efficiency fixed. (Mart Raudsepp)
  97 - Added wxRawBitmap support
  98 - Corrected Input method handler code (for Chinese etc.) and its
  99   interaction with wxWidgets' events.
 100 - wxTE_AUTO_URL implemention for wxGTK2 multiline wxTextCtrls (Mart Raudsepp)
 101
 102 wxMac:
 103
 104 - Vertical sliders oriented consistent with MSW/GTK (0 at top) (Kevin Hock)
 105 - wxDynamicLibrary::GetDllExt() now returns ".bundle", not ".dylib"
 106 - wxDynamicLibrary::GetSymbol() now prepends underscore to the symbol name

 110
 111 - fixed enhanced metafiles loading from files (Andreas Goebel)
 112 - wxRadioButtons no longer have to be consecutive in a group
 113 - fixed spurious selection of combobox text during resize
 114 - pass correct tool id (and not always -1) to EVT_TOOL_RCLICKED() handler
 115 - added wxRegKey::Export(file)
 116
 117 wxWinCE:
 118 - Added support for MS Handheld PC 2000. This was done before 2.5.4,
 119   but not mentioned anywhere.
 120 - Added (preliminary) support for sockets
 121
 122 wxUniv:
 123
 124 - wxBU_... button align flags support
 125 - vertical notebook orientation support
 126 - 3rd state support for checkboxes
 127 - wxLB_SORT and wxCB_SORT now cause case-insensitive sorting
 128
 129 wxPalmOS:
 130
 131 - William Osborne has won and new port was born
 132   (see: "wxPalmOS porting challenge")
 133 - polishing of the port (unnecessary 2.4 API compatibility, removed
 134   all wxMSW specific code which was base for the new port)
 135 - enumeration of available volumes
 136 - native wxPrefConfig around Preferences database
 137 - native wxProgressDialog implementation

 285 2.5.2
 286 -----
 287
 288 All:
 289
 290 - Hindi translation added (Dhananjaya Sharma)
 291 - Brazilian Portuguese translation added (E. A. Tacao)
 292 - wxDynamicCast() now uses static_cast<wxObject *> internally and so using it
 293   with anything not deriving from wxObject will fail at compile time (instead
 294   of run-time) now
 295 - when wxUSE_STL == 1 and STL provides quasi-standard hash_map/hash_set,
 296   wxHashMap/wxHashSet are just typedefs for them. This makes impossible
 297   to forward declare these classes.
 298
 299 All (GUI):
 300
 301 - wxHtmlWindow now delays image scaling until rendering,
 302   resulting in much better display of scaled images
 303 - Added UpdateSize to wxSplitterWindow to allow layout while hidden
 304 - implemented Freeze/Thaw() for wxGenericTreeCtrl (Kevin Hock)
 305 - support for KOI8-U encoding added (Yuriy Tkachenko)
 306 - The old wxADJUST_MINSIZE behaviour is now the default behaviour for
 307   sizer items that are windows.  This means that GetAdjustedBestSize
 308   will now be called by default to determine the minimum size that a
 309   window in a sizer should have.  If you want to still use the initial
 310   size (and not the BestSize) then use the wxFIXED_MINSIZE flag.  When
 311   windows are added to a sizer their initial size is made the window's
 312   min size using SetSizeHints, and calls to wxSizer::SetItemMinSize
 313   are also forwarded to SetSizeHints for window items.
 314 - added wxRegEx::GetMatchCount()
 315 - it is now possible to display images in wxHtmlListBox
 316
 317 wxMSW:
 318
 319 - wxWindow::Freeze()/Thaw() can now be nested
 320 - Added wxSP_NO_XP_THEME style to wxSplitterWindow to switch off
 321   XP theming (some applications look bad without 3D borders)
 322 - wxMenuBar::GetLabelTop() doesn't include '&'s in the label any more
 323 - wxRegConf couldn't read global settings without admin privileges and didn't
 324   even try to do it by default -- now it does
 325 - wxTaskBarIcon must be explicitly destroyed now, otherwise the application
 326   won't exit even though there are no top level windows
 327 - wxFileName::GetModificationTime() works with opened files too now
 328 - wxDC::GetClippingBox() now works even for clipping regions created by Windows
 329 - fixed wxFileDataObject in Unicode build (Alex D)
 330 - subindented paragraphs support (Tim Kosse)
 331
 332 wxGTK:
 333
 334 - added support for wxTE_RIGHT and wxTE_CENTRE styles under GTK2 (Mart Raudsepp)
 335
 336 wxMotif:
 337
 338 - removed wxMenuItem::DeleteSubMenu()
 339 - wxButtons use Motif default size, which is smaller than it used to be
 340   and closer to wxMSW/wxGTK look. This can be disabled by setting
 341   motif.largebuttons system option to 1 (see wxSystemOptions).
 342
 343 wxUniv/X11:
 344
 345 - implemented DrawRoundedRectangle() (clawghoul)
 346
 347 wxHTML:
 348
 349 - improved tables and lists layout algorithms (Tim Kosse)
 350 - <div> handling fix (Xavier Nodet)
 351
 352 Unix:
 353
 354 - fixed priorities of mailcap entries (David Hart)
 355 - added "wx-config --libs=std,<extra>" syntax (i.e. support for "std")
 356
 357 wxODBC:
 358
 359 - Full Unicode support is now available
 360 - BLOB support is working
 361
 362

 523   std::vector, wxList from std::list. In addition wxHashTable will be
 524   implemented in terms of wxHashMap.
 525 - Added wxList::compatibility_iterator. Can be used like wxNode* (except
 526   it can't be delete()d). It permits writing code which will work
 527   both with wxUSE_STL==1 and wxUSE_STL==0.
 528
 529 wxBase:

 575 - implemented wxFlexGridSizer::Show() (Wade Brainerd)
 576 - Added m_ prefix to wxColourData and wxFontData members
 577 - Added wxHtmlPrintout::AddFilter so HTML printing can be subject to
 578   custom filters as well as HTML viewing.
 579 - Moved wxApp::SendIdleEvents and wxApp::ProcessIdle into common code.
 580 - wxWindow::OnInternalIdle is now used in all ports, and ensures that
 581   user OnIdle events do not interfere with crucial internal processing.
 582 - wxWindow::UpdateWindowUI is now a documented function that
 583   sends wxUpdateUIEvents, and can be overridden. It has a helper function
 584   DoUpdateWindowUI for taking appropriate wxUpdateUIEvent action.
 585 - Added functions to wxUpdateUIEvent: Set/GetMode, Set/GetUpdateInterval,
 586   CanUpdate, to assist with optimising update event frequency.
 587 - Added functions to wxIdleEvent: Set/GetMode, CanSend, to
 588   determine whether a window should receive idle events.
 589 - Added wxWS_EX_PROCESS_IDLE, wxWS_EX_PROCESS_UI_UPDATES window
 590   styles for use with conservative idle and update event modes.
 591 - send menu update events only when a menu is about to be used (MSW/GTK)
 592 - improved event processing performance (Hans Van Leemputten)
 593 - added wxMirrorDC class
 594 - printing improvements: GetPageInfo() gets called after the DC has
 595   been set and after OnPreparePrinting() has been called so it can
 596   report the number of pages accurately; doesn't try to set
 597   number of pages in print dialog, in common with other Windows apps;
 598   wxHTML easy printing's preview shows number of pages
 599   correctly; preview scrollbars are set correctly; keyboard navigation
 600   improved

 655 - Windows XP manifest is now included in wx.rc; it is no longer necessary
 656   to ship .exe.manifest file with applications to support XP themes
 657 - wxLocale::Init no longer reports error if trying to set Unicode-only locale
 658   or if user's default locale is Unicode-only
 659 - improved border handling under Windows XP
 660 - partial fix for wxNotebook pages looking bad under XP: wxUSE_UXTHEME

 696 OLD CHANGES
 697 ===========
 698
 699 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.2.x
 700 ================================
 701
 702     Please take a few minutes to read the following list, especially
 703     paying attention to the most important changes which are marked
 704     with '!' in the first column.
 705
 706     Also please note that you should ensure that WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_2
 707     is defined to 1 if you wish to retain maximal compatibility with 2.2
 708     series -- however you are also strongly encouraged to try to compile
 709     your code without this define as it won't be default any longer in
 710     2.6 release.
 711
 712     NB: if you want to build your program with different major versions
 713         of wxWidgets you will probably find the wxCHECK_VERSION() macro
 714         (see the documentation) useful.
 715
 716
 717 wxBase:
 718
 719 ! wxArray<T>::Remove(size_t) has been removed to fix compilation problems
 720   under 64 bit architectures, please replace it with RemoveAt() in your
 721   code.
 722
 723 ! wxArray<T> macros have been changed to fix runtime problems under 64 bit
 724   architectures and as a side effect of this WX_DEFINE_ARRAY() can only be
 725   used now for the pointer types, WX_DEFINE_ARRAY_INT should be used for the
 726   arrays containing non-pointers.
 727
 728 - wxObject::CopyObject() and Clone() methods were removed because they
 729   simply don't make sense for all objects
 730
 731 - wxEvent now has a pure virtual Clone() method which must be implemented
 732   by all derived classes, if you have user-defined event classes please
 733   add "wxEvent *Clone() const { return new MyEvent(*this); }" line to them
 734
 735 - small change to wxStopWatch::Pause() semantics, please see the documentation
 736
 737 - unlikely but possible incompatibility: the definition of TRUE has changed
 738   from "1" to "(bool)1" (and the same thing for FALSE), so the code which
 739   could be erroneously compiled previously such as doing "return FALSE" from
 740   a function returning a pointer would stop compiling now (but this change
 741   is not supposed to have any effects on valid code)
 742
 743 - another minor change: wxApp::OnAssert() has a new "cond" argument, you
 744   must modify YourApp::OnAssert() signature if you were using it to override
 745   the default assert handling.
 746
 747 All (GUI):
 748
 749 ! the event type constants are not constants any more but are dynamically
 750   allocated during run-time which means that they can't be used as case labels
 751   in the switch()es, you must rewrite them to use if()s instead
 752
 753   You may also define WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_EVENT_TYPES to get the old behaviour
 754   but this is strongly discouraged, please consider changing your code
 755   instead!
 756
 757 ! wxDialog does not derive from wxPanel any longer - if you were using it in
 758   your code, please update it. The quick fix for the most cases is to replace
 759   the occurrences of wxPanel with wxWindow.
 760
 761 ! if you handle (and don't skip) EVT_KEY_DOWN, the EVT_CHAR event is not
 762   generated at all, so you must call event.Skip() in your OnKeyDown() if
 763   you want to get OnChar() as well
 764
 765 - in general, the key events sent for the various non ASCII key combinations
 766   have been changed to make them consistent over all supported platforms,
 767   please see the wxKeyEvent documentation for details
 768
 769 - wxYES_NO is now wxYES | wxNO and the manifest values of both wxYES and wxNO
 770   have changed (to fix some unfortunate clashes), please check your code to
 771   ensure that no tests for wxYES or wxNO are broken: for example, the following
 772   will *NOT* work any longer:
 773
 774         if ( flags & wxYES_NO )
 775                 ... do something ...
 776         if ( flags & wxYES )
 777                 ... do something else ...
 778
 779 - static wxWizard::Create() doesn't exist any more, the wizards are created
 780   in the same way as all the other wxWindow objects, i.e. by directly using
 781   the ctor
 782
 783 - wxGLCanvas now derives directly from wxWindow, not wxScrolledWindow
 784
 785 - wxGridCellAttrProvider class API changed, you will need to update your code
 786   if you derived any classes from it
 787
 788 - wxImage::ComputeHistogram()'s signature changed to
 789   unsigned long ComputeHistogram(wxImageHistogram&) const
 790
 791 - wxEvtHandler cannot be copied/assigned any longer - this never worked but
 792   now it results in compile-time error instead of run-time crashes
 793
 794 - WXK_NUMLOCK and WXK_SCROLL keys no longer result in EVT_CHAR() events,
 795   they only generate EVT_KEY_DOWN/UP() ones
 796
 797 - the dialogs use wxApp::GetTopWindow() as the parent implicitly if the
 798   parent specified is NULL, use wxDIALOG_NO_PARENT style to prevent this
 799   from happening
 800
 801 - several obsolete synonyms are only retained in WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_2 mode:
 802   for example, use wxScrolledWindow::GetViewStart() now instead of ViewStart()
 803   and GetCount() instead of Number() in many classes
 804
 805 - wxCmdLineParser does not use wxLog to output messages anymore.
 806   to obtain the previous behaviour, add
 807   wxMessageOutput::Set(new wxMessageOutputLog); to your program
 808   (you will need to #include <wx/msgout.h>)
 809
 810 wxMSW:
 811
 812 ! build system changed: setup.h is not a static file in include/wx any more
 813   but is created as part of the build process under lib/<toolkit>/wx
 814   where <toolkit> is of the form (msw|univ)[dll][u][d]. You'll need to update
 815   the include path in your make/project files appropriately. Furthermore,
 816   xpm.lib is no longer used by wxMSW, it was superseded by the wxXPMDecoder
 817   class. You'll need to remove all references to xpm.lib from your
 818   make/project files. Finally, the library names have changed as well and now
 819   use the following consistent naming convention: wxmsw[ver][u][d].(lib|dll)
 820   where 'u' appears for Unicode version, 'd' -- for the debug one and version
 821   is only present for the DLLs builds.
 822
 823 - child frames appear in the taskbar by default now, use wxFRAME_NO_TASKBAR
 824   style to avoid it
 825
 826 - all overloads of wxDC::SetClippingRegion() combine the given region with the
 827   previously selected one instead of replacing it
 828
 829 - wxGetHomeDir() uses HOME environment variable and if it is set will not
 830   return the programs directory any longer but its value (this function has
 831   never been meant to return the programs directory anyhow)
 832
 833 - wxHTML apps don't need to include wx/html/msw/wxhtml.rc in resources file
 834   anymore. The file was removed from wxMSW
 835
 836
 837 Unix ports:
 838
 839 ! You should use `wx-config --cxxflags` in your makefiles instead of
 840   `wx-config --cflags` for compiling C++ files. CXXFLAGS contains CFLAGS
 841   and the compiler flags for C++ files only, CFLAGS should still be used
 842   to compile pure C files.
 843
 844
 845 wxThread and related classes:
 846
 847 - The thread-related classes have been heavily changed since 2.2.x versions
 848   as the old code had many serious problems. This could have resulted in
 849   semantical changes other than those mentioned here, please review use of
 850   wxThread, wxMutex and wxCondition classes in your code.
 851
 852 ! wxCondition now *must* be used with a mutex, please read the (updated) class
 853   documentation for details and revise your code accordingly: this change was
 854   unfortunately needed as it was impossible to ensure the correct behaviour
 855   (i.e. absence of race conditions) using the old API.
 856
 857 - wxMutex is not recursive any more in POSIX implementation (it hasn't been
 858   recursive in 2.2.x but was in 2.3.1 and 2.3.2), please refer to the class
 859   documentation for the discussion of the recursive mutexes.
 860
 861 - wxMutex::IsLocked() doesn't exist any more and should have never existed:
 862   this is was unique example of a thread-unsafe-by-design method.
 863

1516 - Changed VC++ makefiles (.vc) so that it's possible to have
1517   debug/release/DLL versions of the library available simultaneously,
1518   with names wx.lib, wx_d.lib, wx200.lib(dll), wx200_d.lib(dll).
1519 - Added BC++ 5 IDE files and instructions.
1520 - Fixed wxChoice, wxComboBox constructor bugs (m_noStrings initialisation).
1521 - Fixed focus-related crash.
1522
1523 wxMotif:
1524
1525 - Cured asynchronous wxExecute crash.
1526 - Added repaint event handlers to wxFrame, wxMDIChildFrame.
1527
1528 General:
1529
1530 - wxLocale documented.
1531 - Added include filenames to class reference.
1532 - wxHelpController API changed: SetBrowser becomes SetViewer,
1533   DisplaySection works for WinHelp, help sample compiles under Windows
1534   (though doesn't display help yet).
1535
1536 Beta 4, February 12th 1999
1537 --------------------------
1538
1539 wxGTK:
1540
1541 - Miscellaneous fixes.
1542
1543 wxMSW:
1544
1545 - Makefiles for more compilers and samples; Cygwin makefiles
1546   rationalised.
1547 - Added VC++ project file for compiling wxWidgets as DLL.
1548
1549 wxMotif:
1550
1551 - Added OnEraseBackground invocation.
1552 - Added wxRETAINED implementation for wxScrolledWindow.
1553 - Cured scrolling display problem by adding XmUpdateDisplay.
1554 - Tried to make lex-ing in the makefile more generic (command line
1555   syntax should apply to both lex and flex).
1556 - Changed file selector colours for consistency (except for buttons:
1557   crashes for some reason).
1558 - Fixed wxMotif version of wxImage::ConvertToBitmap (used new instead
1559   of malloc, which causes memory problems).
1560
1561 General:
1562
1563 - Further doc improvements.
1564 - wxGenericValidator added.
1565 - Added wxImageModule to image.cpp, so adds/cleans up standard handlers
1566   automatically.
1567
1568 Beta 3, January 31st 1999
1569 -------------------------
1570
1571 wxGTK:
1572

1574 - wxToolTip class added.
1575 - Miscellaneous fixes.
1576
1577 wxMSW:
1578
1579 - wxRegConfig DeleteAll bug fixed.
1580 - Makefiles for more compilers.
1581 - TWIN32 support added.
1582 - Renamed VC++ makefiles from .nt to .vc, and

1600 Beta 2, January 1999
1601 --------------------
1602
1603 wxGTK:
1604
1605 wxMSW:
1606
1607 - 16-bit BC++ compilation/linking works albeit without the resource system.
1608
1609 wxMotif:
1610
1611 - Cured wxScreenDC origin problem so e.g. sash window sash is drawn at
1612   the right place.
1613 - Cured some widget table clashes.
1614 - Added thread support (Robert).
1615 - wxPoem sample now works.
1616
1617 General:
1618
1619 - Rearranged documentation a bit.
1620 - Sash window uses area of first frame/dialog to paint over when drawing
1621   the dragged sash, not just the sash window itself (it clipped to the right
1622   or below).
1623 - Made resource sample use the correct Cancel button id.
1624 - Moved wxProp to main library (generic directory), created proplist
1625   sample.
1626 - Added bombs and fractal samples.
1627
1628 Beta 1, December 24th 1998
1629 --------------------------
1630
1631 wxGTK:
1632
1633 - Various
1634
1635 wxMSW, wxMotif: not in sync with this release.
1636
1637
1638 Alpha 18, December 29th 1998
1639 ----------------------------
1640
1641 wxMSW:
1642
1643 - Win16 support working again (VC++ 1.5)
1644 - Win16 now uses generic wxNotebook, wxListCtrl,
1645   wxTreeCtrl -- more or less working now, although
1646   a little work on wxNotebook is still needed.
1647   Under 16-bit Windows, get assertion when you click
1648   on a tab.
1649 - Wrote 16-bit BC++ makefiles: samples don't yet link.
1650 - Added CodeWarrior support to distribution courtesy
1651   of Stefan Csomor.
1652
1653 wxMotif:
1654
1655 - Cured scrolling problem: scrollbars now show/hide themselves
1656   without (permanently) resizing the window.
1657 - Removed some commented-out lines in wxScrolledWindow::AdjustScrollbars
1658   that disabled scrollbar paging.
1659 - Set background colour of drawing area in wxWindow, so e.g. wxListCtrl
1660   colours correctly.
1661 - Removed major bug whereby dialogs were unmanaged automatically
1662   when any button was pressed.
1663 - Fixed colours of wxWindow scrollbars, made list and text controls
1664   have a white background.
1665 - Fixed dialog colour setting.
1666 - Added settable fonts and colours for wxMenu/wxMenuBar. Now
1667   they have sensible colours by default.
1668 - Fixed a bug in wxStaticBox.
1669 - Cured wxTreeCtrl bug: now works pretty well!
1670 - Debugged DrawEllipticArc (a ! in the wrong place).
1671 - Added SetClippingRegion( const wxRegion& region ).
1672 - Added wxPoint, wxSize, wxRect versions of SetSize etc.
1673
1674 Alpha 17, November 22nd 1998
1675 ----------------------------
1676
1677 wxMSW:
1678
1679 - More documentation updates, especially for
1680   wxLayoutWindow classes and debugging facilities.
1681 - Changed wxDebugContext to use wxDebugLog instead
1682   of wxTrace.
1683 - Now supports VC++ 6.0, and hopefully BC++ 5.0.
1684   However, DLL support may be broken for BC++ since
1685   VC++ 6 required changing of WXDLLEXPORT keyword
1686   position.
1687 - Numerous miscellaneous changes.
1688
1689 wxMotif:
1690
1691 - Reimplemented MDI using wxNotebook instead of the MDI widgets, which
1692   were too buggy (probably not design for dynamic addition/removal of
1693   child frames).
1694 - Some improvements to the wxNotebook implementation.
1695 - wxToolBar now uses a bulletin board instead of a form, in an attempt
1696   to make it possible to add ordinary wxControls to a toolbar.
1697 - Cured problem with not being able to use global memory operators,
1698   by defining two more global operators, so that the delete will match
1699   the debugging implementation.
1700 - Added wxUSE_DEBUG_NEW_ALWAYS so we can distinguish between using
1701   global memory operators (usually OK) and #defining new to be
1702   WXDEBUG_NEW (sometimes it might not be OK).
1703 - Added time.cpp to makefile; set wxUSE_DATETIME to 1.
1704 - Added a parent-existence check to popup menu code to make it not crash.
1705 - Added some optimization in wxWindow::SetSize to produce less flicker.
1706   It remains to be seen whether this produces any resize bugs.
1707
1708 It's a long time since I updated this file. Previously done:
1709
1710 - wxFrame, wxDialog done.
1711 - wxScrolledWindow done (but backing pixmap not used at present).
1712 - wxBitmap done though could be tidied it up at some point.
1713 - Most basic controls are there, if not rigorously tested.
1714 - Some MDI support (menus appear on child frames at present).
1715 - wxNotebook almost done.
1716 - wxToolBar done (horizontal only, which would be easy to extend
1717   to vertical toolbars).
1718
1719 More recently:
1720
1721 - Colour and font changing done (question mark over what happens
1722   to scrollbars).
1723 - Accelerators done (for menu items and buttons). Also event loop
1724   tidied up in wxApp so that events are filtered through ProcessXEvent.
1725 - wxWindow::GetUpdateRegion should now work.
1726
1727 Alpha 16, September 8th 1998
1728 ----------------------------
1729
1730 wxMSW:
1731
1732 - Added wxSashWindow, wxSashLayoutWindow classes, and sashtest
1733   sample.
1734 - Guilhem's socket classes added, plus wxsocket sample.
1735 - A few more makefiles added.
1736 - GnuWin32/BC++ compatibility mods.
1737 - Further doc updates.
1738 - wxProp updates for correct working with wxGTK.
1739
1740 wxMotif:
1741
1742 - First start at Motif port.
1743 - Made makefiles for wxMotif source directory and minimal sample.
1744 - First go at wxApp, wxWindow, wxDialog, wxPen, wxBrush, wxFont,
1745   wxColour, wxButton, wxCheckBox, wxTextCtrl, wxStaticText,
1746   wxMenu, wxMenuItem, wxMenuBar
1747
1748 Alpha 15, August 31st 1998
1749 --------------------------
1750
1751 wxMSW:
1752
1753 - wxBitmap debugged.
1754 - wxDC::GetDepth added.
1755 - Contribution added whereby wxBitmap will be
1756   converted to DC depth if they don't match.
1757 - wxConfig API improved, documentation updated.
1758 - Printing classes name conventions cleaned up.
1759 - wxUpdateUIEvent now derives from wxCommandEvent
1760   so event can travel up the window hierarchy.
1761
1762 Alpha 14, July 31st 1998
1763 ------------------------
1764
1765 wxMSW:
1766
1767 - Toolbar API has been simplified, and now
1768   wxFrame::GetClientArea returns the available client
1769   area when toolbar, status bar etc. have been accounted for.
1770   wxFrame::CreateToolBar added in line with CreateStatusBar.
1771 - Documentation updates, incl. for wxToolBar.
1772 - New wxAcceleratorTable class plus wxFrame::SetAcceleratorTable.
1773 - Various additions from other folk, e.g. streams, wxConfig
1774   changes, wxNotebook.
1775 - Added wxDocMDIParentFrame, wxDocMDIChildFrame for doc/view.
1776
1777 Alpha 13, July 8th 1998
1778 -----------------------
1779
1780 wxMSW:
1781
1782 - Implemented wxPoint as identical to POINT on Windows, and
1783   altered wxDC wxPoint functions to use wxPoint directly in
1784   Windows functions, for efficiency.
1785 - Cured wxASSERT bug in wxStatusBar95.
1786 - #ifdefed out some bits in oleutils.cpp for compilers that
1787   don't support it.
1788 - Added some operators to wxPoint, wxSize.
1789 - Added inline wxDC functions using wxPoint, wxSize, wxRect.
1790
1791 Alpha 12, July 7th 1998
1792 -----------------------
1793
1794 wxMSW:
1795
1796 - Added wxApp::GetComCtl32Version, and wxTB_FLAT style, so can
1797   have flat toolbars on Win98 or Win95 with IE >= 3 installed.
1798
1799 Alpha 11, July 3rd 1998
1800 -----------------------
1801
1802 wxMSW:
1803
1804 - Added thread.h, thread.cpp.
1805 - Changed Enabled, Checked to IsEnabled, IsChecked in wxMenu,
1806   wxMenuBar.
1807 - Changed wxMenuItem::SetBackColor to SetBackgroundColour,
1808   SetTextColor to SetTextColour, and added or made public several
1809   wxMenuItem accessors.
1810 - Added two overloads to wxRegion::Contains. Added
1811   wxRegion::IsEmpty for a more consistent naming convention.
1812 - Added Vadim's wxDataObject and wxDropSource.
1813 - ENTER/LEAVE events now work.
1814 - Cured wxMemoryDC bug where the DC wasn't being deleted.
1815 - Cured wxGauge SetSize major bugginess.
1816 - Cured problem where if a GDI object was created on the stack,
1817   then went out of scope, then another object was selected into
1818   the DC, GDI objects would leak. This is because the assignment
1819   to e.g. wxDC::m_pen would delete the GDI object without it first
1820   being selected out of the DC. Cured by selecting the old DC object
1821   first, then doing the assignment.
1822 - Split up wxGaugeMSW, wxGauge95, wxSliderMSW, wxSlider95
1823 - Various other bug fixes and additions.
1824
1825 Generic:
1826
1827 - Major work on Dialog Editor (still plenty to go).
1828 - Expanded documentation a bit more.
1829
1830 Alpha 10, May 7th 1998
1831 ----------------------
1832
1833 wxMSW:
1834
1835 - Added desiredWidth, desiredHeight parameters to wxBitmapHandler
1836   and wxIcon functions so that you can specify what size of
1837   icon should be loaded. Probably will remain a Windows-specific thing.
1838 - wxStatusBar95 now works for MDI frames.
1839 - Toolbars in MDI frames now behave normally. They still
1840   require application-supplied positioning code though.
1841 - Changed installation instructions, makefiles and batch files
1842   for compiling with Gnu-Win32/Mingw32/EGCS. Also timercmn.cpp
1843   change to support Mingw32/EGCS. Bison now used by default.
1844
1845 Alpha 9, April 27th 1998
1846 ------------------------
1847
1848 wxMSW:
1849
1850 - Cured bug in wxStatusBar95 that caused a crash if multiple
1851   fields were used.
1852 - Added Gnu-Win32 b19/Mingw32 support by changing resource
1853   compilation and pragmas.
1854 - Cured wxMenu bug introduced in alpha 8 - didn't respond to
1855   commands because VZ changed the id setting in wxMenu::MSWCommand.
1856
1857 Generic:
1858
1859 - Corrected some bugs, such as the wxModule compilation problem.
1860 - Added Gnu-Win32 b19/Mingw32 support by changing resource
1861   compilation and pragmas.
1862 - Changed SIZEOF to WXSIZEOF.
1863
1864 Alpha 8, April 17th 1998
1865 ------------------------
1866
1867 wxMSW:
1868
1869 - Added IsNull to wxGDIObject to check if the ref data is present or not.
1870 - Added PNG handler and sample - doesn't work for 16-bit PNGs for
1871   some reason :-(
1872 - Added wxJoystick class and event handling, and simple demo.
1873 - Added simple wxWave class. Needs Stop() function.
1874 - Added wxModule (module.h/module.cpp) to allow definition
1875   of modules to be initialized and cleaned up on wxWidgets
1876   startup/exit.
1877 - Start of Mingw32 compatibility (see minimal and dialogs samples
1878   makefile.m95 files, and install.txt).
1879 - Note: Windows printing has stopped working... will investigate.
1880 VADIM'S CHANGES:
1881 - Updated wxString: bug fixes, added wxArrayString, some
1882   compatibility functions.
1883 - Updated log.h/cpp, added wxApp::CreateLogTarget.
1884 - file.h: new wxTempFile class.
1885 - defs.h: added wxSB_SIZE_GRIP for wxStatusBar95
1886 - statbr95: wxStatusBar95 control.
1887 - registry.h/cpp: wxRegKey class for Win95 registry.
1888 - listbox.cpp: corrected some bugs with owner-drawn listboxes.
1889 - wxConfig and wxFileConfig classes.
1890
1891 Generic:
1892
1893 - Added src/other/png, src/other/zlib directories.
1894 - Added samples/png.
1895 - IMPORTANT: Changed 'no id' number from 0 to -1, in wxEVT_ macros.
1896   Porters, please check particularly your wxTreeCtrl and wxListCtrl
1897   header files.
1898 - Added modules.h/cpp, config.cpp, fileconf.cpp, textfile.cpp/h.
1899
1900 Alpha 7, March 30th 1998
1901 ------------------------
1902
1903 wxMSW:
1904
1905 - Added tab classes, tab sample.
1906 - Now can return FALSE from OnInit and windows will be
1907   cleaned up properly before exit.
1908 - Improved border handling so panels don't get borders
1909   automatically.
1910 - Debugged MDI activation from Window menu.
1911 - Changes to memory debug handling, including checking for
1912   memory leaks on application exit - but see issues.txt for
1913   unresolved issues.
1914 - Added wxTaskBarIcon (taskbar.cpp/h, plus samples/taskbar)
1915   to allow maintenance of an icon in the Windows 95 taskbar
1916   tray area.
1917 - Got MFC sample working (MFC and wxWidgets in the same
1918   application), partly by tweaking ntwxwin.mak settings.
1919 - Got DLL compilation working again (VC++).
1920 - Changed wxProp/Dialog Editor filenames.
1921
1922 Generic:
1923
1924 - Added tab classes, tab sample.
1925 - Revised memory.cpp, memory.h slightly; memory.h now #defines
1926   new to WXDEBUG_NEW in DEBUG mode. Windows implementation app.cpp
1927   now checks for leaks on exit. Added memcheck sample.
1928   See src/msw/issues.txt for more details.
1929 - resource.h, resource.cpp changed to make wxDefaultResourceTable
1930   a pointer. Now initialize resource system with
1931   wxInitializeResourceSystem and wxCleanUpResourceSystem, to
1932   allow better control of memory.
1933 - wxString now derives from wxObject, to enable memory leak
1934   checking.
1935 - Added some #include fixes in various files, plus changed
1936   float to long in wxToolBar files.
1937
1938 Alpha 6, March 10th 1998
1939 ------------------------
1940
1941 wxMSW:
1942
1943 - Found stack error bug - stopped unwanted OnIdle recursion.
1944 - Removed bug in wxTreeCtrl::InsertItem I added in alpha 5.
1945 - Changed exit behaviour in wxApp/wxFrame/wxDialog. Now will
1946   check if the number of top-level windows is zero before
1947   exiting. Also, wxApp::GetTopWindow will return either
1948   m_topWindow or the first member of wxTopLevelWindows, so you
1949   don't have to call wxApp::SetTopWindow.
1950 - Added dynarray.h/dynarray.cpp (from Vadim).
1951 - Added first cut at OLE drag and drop (from Vadim). dnd sample
1952   added. Drop target only at this stage. See src/msw/ole/*.cpp,
1953   wx/include/msw/ole/*.h. WIN32 only because of UUID usage.
1954   Doesn't work with GnuWin32 - no appropriate headers e.g. for
1955   IUnknown.
1956   Doesn't work with BC++ either - crashes on program startup.
1957 - Added Vadim's owner-draw modifications - will probably remain
1958   Windows-only. This enhances wxMenu, wxListBox. See ownerdrw sample.
1959 - Added wxLB_OWNERDRAW for owner-draw listboxes.
1960 - Vadim's wxCheckListBox derives from wxListBox. See checklst sample.
1961   Doesn't entirely work for WIN16.
1962 - Vadim has added wxMenuItem as a separate file menuitem.cpp. It
1963   can also be used as an argument to wxMenu::Append, not just for
1964   internal implementation.
1965 - Some #ifdefs done for MINGW32 compilation (just alter OPTIONS
1966   in makeg95.env, together with mingw32.bat). However, resource
1967   binding is not working yet so most apps with dialogs crash.
1968
1969 Generic:
1970
1971 - Added Vadim's dynarray.h, dynarray.cpp.
1972 - Added Vadim's menuitem.cpp.
1973 - Added Windows-specific wxCheckListBox,
1974   owner-draw wxListBox, and drag-and-drop
1975   (see docs/msw/changes.txt).
1976
1977 Alpha 5, 14th February 1998
1978 --------------------------
1979
1980 wxMSW:
1981
1982 - GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE
1983   DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to
1984   the Windows-specific code only. See docs/changes.txt for generic
1985   changes.
1986 - Removed Windows-specific reference counting system (GDI
1987   resources were cleaned up in idle time) - minimal
1988   advantages now we have a wxWin reference counting system.
1989 - Added missing WXDLLEXPORT keywords so DLL compilation works
1990   again.
1991 - Removed most warnings for GnuWin32 compilation.
1992 - Added wxRegion/wxRegionIterator, but haven't yet used it in
1993   e.g. wxDC.
1994
1995 Generic:
1996
1997 - GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE
1998   DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to
1999   the generic code only. See docs/msw/changes.txt for Windows-specific
2000   changes.
2001 - Readmes, change logs and installation files now go in
2002   platform-specific directories under docs, e.g. docs/msw,
2003   docs/gtk.
2004 - Added DECLARE_APP and IMPLEMENT_APP macros so wxApp object gets
2005   created dynamically, not as a global object.
2006 - Put wxColour into wx/msw/colour.h, src/msw/colour.cpp.
2007 - Changed names of some include/wx/generic headers to be
2008   consistent and to conform to gcc pragma conventions. Also
2009   changed choicesg.cpp to choicdgg.cpp.
2010 - Added gcc pragmas.
2011 - Added gtk inclusion in include/wx headers.
2012 - Added consistent file headings to source and headers.
2013 - Removed lang.cpp, lang.h and references to wxSTR_... variables;
2014   added a few references to wxTransString.
2015 - Added operator to wxTransString that converts automatically
2016   to wxString, so we can say e.g. wxMessageBox(wxTransString("Hello"), ...).
2017 - samples/internat now works (minimally).
2018 - Added wxMouseEvent::GetPosition and
2019   wxMouseEvent::GetLogicalPosition, both returning wxPoints.
2020 - Made wxSize and wxRect contain longs not ints.
2021 - Cured some memory leaks (thanks Vadim).
2022 - Tidied up OnIdle and introduced RequestMore/MoreRequested so
2023   will only keep processing OnIdle if it returns TRUE from
2024   MoreRequested.
2025
2026 Alpha 4, 31st January 1998
2027 --------------------------
2028
2029 All:
2030
2031 - Changed wxDC functions to take longs instead of floats. GetSize now takes
2032   integer pointers, plus a version that returns a wxSize.
2033 - const keyword added to various wxDC functions.
2034 - Under Windows, wxDC no longer has any knowledge of whether
2035   an associated window is scrolled or not. Instead, the device
2036   origin is set by wxScrolledWindow in wxScrolledWindow::PrepareDC.
2037 - wxScrolledWindow applications can optionally override the virtual OnDraw
2038   function instead of using the OnPaint event handler. The wxDC passed to
2039   OnDraw will be translated by PrepareDC to reflect scrolling.
2040   When drawing outside of OnDraw, must call PrepareDC explicitly.
2041 - wxToolBarBase/wxToolBarSimple similarly changed to allow for
2042   scrolling toolbars.
2043 - Integrated wxPostScriptDC patches for 1.xx by Chris Breeze,
2044   to help printing with multiple pages.
2045 - IPC classes given base classes (wxConnectionBase etc.) which
2046   define the API used by different implementations. DDE
2047   implementation updated to use these base classes.
2048 - wxHelpInstance now separated into wxHelpControllerBase (base
2049   for all implementations), wxWinHelpController (uses standard
2050   WinHelp), wxXLPHelpController (talks to wxHelp by DDE or
2051   TCP/IP). There will be others eventually, such as
2052   wxHTMLHelpController for Microsoft (and Netscape?) HTML Help.
2053 - Added Vadim Zeitlin's wxString class plus
2054   internationalization code (gettext simulation, wxLocale, etc.).
2055   New files from Vadim:
2056   include\wx\string.h
2057   include\wx\debug.h
2058   include\wx\file.h
2059   include\wx\log.h
2060   include\wx\intl.h
2061   src\common\string.cpp
2062   src\common\log.cpp
2063   src\common\intl.cpp
2064   src\common\file.cpp
2065   No longer use GNU wxString files.
2066 - Split off file-related functions into include\wx\filefn.h and
2067   src\common\filefn.cpp.
2068 - Borland C++ support (WIN32) for main library and
2069   samples, using makefile.b32 files.
2070 - Preparation done for allowing BC++ to compile wxWin as a DLL,
2071   including changes to defs.h.
2072 - wxIntPoint removed, wxPoint is now int, and wxRealPoint
2073   introduced.
2074 - Added wxShowEvent (generated when window is being shown or
2075   hidden).
2076 - Got minimal, docview, mdi samples working for 16-bit VC++ and
2077   cured 16-bit problem with wxTextCtrl (removed global memory
2078   trick).
2079 - Updated GnuWin32 makefiles, checked minimal, mdi, docview samples.
2080
2081 Alpha 3, September 1997
2082 -----------------------
2083
2084 All:
2085
2086 - wxListCtrl, wxTreeCtrl, wxImageList classes done.
2087 - Instigated new file hierarchy, split files and classes up more logically.
2088 - PrologIO and some other utils now put into core library.
2089 - Revamped print/preview classes, added wxPageSetupDialog.
2090 - Started documentation.
2091
2092 Alpha 2, 30th April 1997
2093 ------------------------
2094
2095 All:
2096
2097 - EVT_... macros now have at least one argument, for conformance
2098   with MetroWerks compiler.
2099 - Added ids to .wxr file format.
2100 - Got Dialog Editor compiled and running again but need
2101   to extend functionality to be in line with new controls.
2102   Added dialoged\test app to allow dynamic loading of .wxr files
2103   for testing purposes.
2104 - Rewrote wxBitmap to allow installable file type
2105   handlers.
2106 - Rewrote wxBitmapButton, wxStaticBitmap to not use Fafa.
2107 - Wrote most of wxTreeCtrl and sample (need wxImageList to implement it
2108   fully).
2109 - Added back wxRadioBox.
2110 - Tidied up wx_main.cpp, wxApp class, putting PenWin code in
2111   a separate file.
2112
2113 Alpha 1, 5th April 1997
2114 -----------------------
2115
2116 Generic:
2117
2118 At this point, the following has been achieved:
2119
2120 - A lot, but not all, of the code has been revamped for better
2121   naming conventions, protection of data members, and use of
2122   wxString instead of char *.
2123 - Obsolete functionality deleted (e.g. default wxPanel layout,
2124   old system event system) and code size reduced.
2125 - Class hierarchy changed (see design doc) - base classes such
2126   as wxbWindow now removed.
2127 - No longer includes windows.h in wxWin headers, by using stand-in
2128   Windows types where needed e.g. WXHWND.
2129 - PrologIO revised.
2130 - wxScrolledWindow, wxStatusBar and new MDI classes added.
2131   MDI is now achieved using separate classes, not window styles.
2132 - wxSystemSettings added, and made use of to reflect standard
2133   Windows settings.
2134 - SetButtonFont/SetLabelFont replaced by SetFont; font and colour
2135   settings mucho rationalised.
2136 - All windows are now subclassed with the same window proc to make
2137   event handling far more consistent. Old internal wxWnd and derived
2138   classes removed.
2139 - API for controls revised, in particular addition of
2140   wxValidator parameters and removal of labels for some controls.
2141 - 1 validator written: see examples/validate.
2142 - Event table system introduced (see most samples and
2143   wx_event.cpp/ProcessEvent, wx_event.h). wxEvtHandler
2144   made more flexible, with Push/PopEventHandler allowing a chain
2145   of event handlers.
2146 - wxRadioBox removed - will be added back soon.
2147 - Toolbar class hierarchy revised:
2148   wxToolBarBase
2149   wxToolBarSimple (= old wxToolBar)
2150   wxToolBar95 (= old wxButtonBar under Win95)
2151   wxToolBarMSW (= old wxButtonBar under WIN16/WIN32)
2152 - Constraint system debugged somewhat (sizers now work properly).
2153 - wxFileDialog, wxDirDialog added; other common dialogs now
2154   have class equivalents. Generic colour and font dialogs
2155   rewritten to not need obsolete panel layout.
2156 - .wxr resource system partially reinstated, though needs
2157   an integer ID for controls. Hopefully the resource system
2158   will be replaced by something better and more efficient
2159   in the future.
2160 - Device contexts no longer stored with window and accessed
2161   with GetDC - use wxClientDC, wxPaintDC, wxWindowDC stack
2162   variables instead.
2163 - wxSlider uses trackbar class under Win95, and wxSL_LABELS flag
2164   determines whether labels are shown. Other Win95-specific flags
2165   introduced, e.g. for showing ticks.
2166 - Styles introduced for dealing with 3D effects per window, for
2167   any window: all Win95 3D effects supported, plus transparent windows.
2168 - Major change to allow 3D effect support without CTL3D, under
2169   Win95.
2170 - Bitmap versions of button and checkbox separated out into new
2171   classes, but unimplemented as yet because I intend to remove
2172   the need for Fafa - it apparently causes GPFs in Win95 OSR 2.
2173 - utils/wxprop classes working (except maybe wxPropertyFormView)
2174   in preparation for use in Dialog Editor.
2175 - GNU-WIN32 compilation verified (a month or so ago).
