Changes since 3.1.2
-------------------
TODO: Fill in
There have been almost 2000 commits from 97 unique contributors (52 with
multiple contributions) since 3.1.2 releases, so it is impossible to summarize
all the changes in this document without making it too long, please see the
full changelog at
Notice that this release is almost completely compatible with 3.1.2 at the API
level, so upgrading to it if you're already using wxWidgets 3 should be
straightforward.
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/v3.1.3/docs/changes.txt
for more details, but some of the most important changes are:
- Support for per-monitor DPI and dynamic DPI changes under MSW.
- More generally, many fixes for various controls appearance in high DPI.
- Long requested support for freezing rows and/or columns in wxGrid.
- New XRC handlers for wxDataViewCtrl, wxInfoBar.
- It is now possible to use gradients when creating wxGraphicsPen.
- Extended compiler (MSVS 2019) and platforms (macOS 10.14+) support.

Notice that in spite of all the changes, this release remains almost completely
compatible with 3.1.2 at the API level, so upgrading to it if you're already
using wxWidgets 3 should be straightforward.
