+ +wxWindows Roadmap + +

+ +

+Schedule | To-Do List + + +

+ +This page represents current thinking about where wxWindows is going in the near, +medium and long-term. It also serves as a schedule for new releases so +that both developers and users can know what to expect when, at least approximately.

+ +Note (1): as the wxWindows effort is voluntary, these are not hard-and-fast deadlines: +but we will endeavour to follow them as closely as possible.

+ +Note (2): the releases described are for wxGTK, wxMSW and wxMotif ports. wxMac currently follows +its own development path. Also, minor snapshot releases for specific platforms may be +available at dates convenient to the developers.

+ +

Schedule

+ +

Release 2.1.10

+ +

Release date: October 3rd, 1999 +

Release 2.1.11 (final)

+ +

Release date: November 7th, 1999 +

To-Do List

+ + +

+ +General

+ +

wxHTML printing. When finished, this will allow an application to generate +printed reports with very little effort. +
wxSocket. +
Split library into several, for base (classes and functions usable by console and GUI +applications), console (classes and functions usable by console application only) +and GUI (classes and functions usable by GUI application only). +
Extend and unify drag and drop handling (e.g. we need to specify multiple drop targets +that can handle multiple formats). +
Expand the number of controls that can be specified in a WXR file. +
Rewrite Dialog Editor. +
PCX writing code. +
GIF animation code. +
Tidying of timer code, addition of wxChrono class. +
wxDateTime class. +
MGL port (see Backroom/Future Ports page). +
Rotated text support. +
FreeType support. +
Support for 'skins', perhaps using a set of alternative control and window classes +written generically in wxWindows. +
Book, tutorial. +
More examples. +

+ +

+ +wxMSW

+ +

Windows CE port. +
Cure bug whereby in a panel within another panel, all buttons become +default buttons (heavy black border). +
Write a RC->WXR converter. +

+ +

+ +wxGTK

+ +

GNOME/KDE integration libraries. +
