25th October '99: My birthday, wxWindows 2.1.10 released
Enlightment has struck the majority of the developers and
they have chosen ti use the Linux kernel numbering scheme
for wxWindows from now on. This means that the next stable
release will be called wxWindows 2.2.X, development snapshots
will be called 2.1.X.
A lot of discussion has been wasted on how to maintain a
once released stable version will be maintained. It was
almost universally agreed that only a commercial entity
will have the motivation ($$$) to do that - so far there
is no wxWindows Inc.
Support for GTK 1.0 has been dropped.
Many build fixes for various platforms have been applied,
try again, poor HP-UX and *BSD users, but don't reckon
with immediate success.
My total rewrite of the wxWindows underlying GTK widget
has turned scrolling including subwindows from barely
functional to pretty and fast.
wxSocket and Co. have been improved up to the point of
calling it a rewrite. It works on wxMSW now too and
seems pretty stable, but testing is still welcome.
The ODBC classes contributed by Remstar Inc. have been
overhauled (incl the sample) and have been tested with
all relevant SQL databases (even DBase). For that reason
I have reawakened the iODBC code from wxGTK 2.0 so you
can now use wxODBC from wxMSW and wxGTK.
Several printing things fixed.
HTML widget and its wxWindows' help system based upon
it have been reorganized and improved for easier use
from Python and C++.
wxSpinCtrl added. Like a wxSpinButton and a wxTextCtrl.
Changed the beaviour of the popular new wxFileDialog to
not forget the once typed file name when changing the
directory.
Implemented the wxSIMPLE_BORDER flag (simple black line
without shadow affect).
Michael is writing a complete rewrite of the antiquated
wxGrid. This is still work-in-progress and might not make
it into wxWindows 2.2, we'll see. Help would be welcome
to make that happen.
Made wxMenu code lose less memory, also added wxMenu::Delete().
Added code to send wxActivateEvent to MDI windows.
Vadim added configure things to compile wxWindows without any
GUI library. This is probably work in progress. He'll also add
a wxFontEnumerator class and has enhanced wxFont to make use
of char-encodings.
wxSlider, wxWindow, wxScrollBar now emit the correct events
for scrolling (like page up, line up etc) instead of just
"thumb-track" as before.
Corrected bug in Reparent() code.
A handler to read PCX file (in most variants) has been added.
A number of problems with compressed and socket streams have
been solved.
28th August '99: Ninth wxGTK 2.1 snapshot released
As the old makefile system didn't work, I trashed it and wrote
