 | 
						|
-------------------------------------------------------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
2.5.4
 | 
						|
-----
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
All:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- wxEvent and its derivatives have their variable members nonpublic now.
 | 
						|
  Use the Get/Set accessors (Mart Raudsepp)
 | 
						|
- new classes for reading and writing ZIP files (M.J.Wetherell)
 | 
						|
- large files support for wxFFile (M.J.Wetherell)
 | 
						|
- classes in the manual are now cross-referenced (Zbigniew Zagórski)
 | 
						|
- Norwegian (Bokmål) translation added (Hans F. Nordhaug)
 | 
						|
- wxDynamicLibrary::HasSymbol() added
 | 
						|
- added wxEXEC_NODISABLE flag to be used with wxExecute(wxEXEC_SYNC)
 | 
						|
- added wxTextInputStream::operator>>(wchar_t) for compilers which support this
 | 
						|
- added wxURI, a class for dealing with Uniform Resource Identifiers
 | 
						|
- changed wxURL to inherit from wxURI and provide assignment and comparison
 | 
						|
- implemented wxConvUTF7 (modified patch from Fredrik Roubert)
 | 
						|
- added versions of MB2WC and WC2MB for wxMBConv that for embedded null chars
 | 
						|
- Unicode support in wxODBC is now fully implemented
 | 
						|
- A new data type specific to wxWidgets called SQL_C_WXCHAR has been introduced.
 | 
						|
  SQL_C_WXCHAR should be used rather than SQL_C_CHAR to ensure transparent
 | 
						|
  behavior between Unicode and non-unicode builds
 | 
						|
- BLOB example added to samples/db (thanks to Casey ODonnell)
 | 
						|
- use wxStream::GetLength() instead of deprecated GetSize()
 | 
						|
- wxGetOsDescription() is now more precise (Olly Betts)
 | 
						|
- XRC supports system fonts and colours (Ray Gilbert)
 | 
						|
- Added flags argument to wxKill/wxProcess::Kill to kill child processes.
 | 
						|
- Added wxPrintFactory classes so that it is possible to add a new
 | 
						|
  print system backend at run-time. This was required by the new GNOME
 | 
						|
  printing stuff in the GTK port.
 | 
						|
- Added support to the wxODBC classes for Firebird 1.5 database
 | 
						|
- The samples\db sample program now includes an optional example of using a BLOB
 | 
						|
  datatype (if BLOB support is enabled and supported by the database)
 | 
						|
- added wxDynamicLibrary::ListLoaded()
 | 
						|
- wxGetPowerType() and wxGetBatteryState() addition
 | 
						|
- wxSystemSettings::GetSystem*() members deprecated and replaced with
 | 
						|
  wxSystemSettings::Get*()
 | 
						|
- wxWindowBase::DoGetBestSize now includes the difference (if any) between 
 | 
						|
  the client size and total size of the window.  Code that sets the 
 | 
						|
  client size using the best size, or that added extra space to sizers
 | 
						|
  to compensate for this bug may need to be changed.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
All (GUI):
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- added wxDatePickerCtrl
 | 
						|
- wxSplitterWindow now supports gravity parameter (Zbigniew Zagórski)
 | 
						|
- recursive wxSizer::GetItem returns item of given window, sizer or nth index
 | 
						|
- wxLayoutConstraints now use best size, not current size, for AsIs() condition
 | 
						|
- wxSizer::Add/Insert etc. now returns pointer to wxSizerItem just added and this
 | 
						|
  item remembers its wxRect area (Brian A. Vanderburg II)
 | 
						|
- wxBookCtrl renamed to wxBookCtrlBase, wxBookCtrl is reserved for most native
 | 
						|
  book control (for now wxChoicebook for MSSmartphone, wxNotebook for others).
 | 
						|
  Necessary event macros, types and styles mapped accordingly.
 | 
						|
- new wxBrush::IsHatch() checking for brush type replaces IS_HATCH macro
 | 
						|
- wxProgressDialog accepts smooth gauge again (wxPD_SMOOTH style)
 | 
						|
- wxProgressDialog new style: wxPD_CAN_SKIP which provides skipping some parts
 | 
						|
  of the progress (with new "Skip" button in dialog)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Unix:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- wxPuts() now correctly outputs trailing new line in Unicode build
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
wxGTK:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Added printing support by way of using libgnomeprint. The library
 | 
						|
  now checks at runtime, if the library is installed and will use it
 | 
						|
  if it is. Otherwise, it will fall back to the old PostScript printing
 | 
						|
  code, from which the Pango drawing code was removed.
 | 
						|
- Implemented/improved wxDC::DrawRotatedText()
 | 
						|
- fixed wxFileDialog::SetWildcard()
 | 
						|
- native file dialog is now used if available (Zbigniew Zagorski)
 | 
						|
- implemented wxTextCtrl::Freeze() and Thaw(). The GtkTextBuffer
 | 
						|
  is not a valid one during frozen state. Get a pointer to it right
 | 
						|
  after wxTextCtrl creation if you really need to. (Mart Raudsepp)
 | 
						|
- Changed calls to GTK+ 2.4.x functions so that the code checks at
 | 
						|
  runtime, which library version is installed so that these functions
 | 
						|
  are only called with GTK+ 2.4.x installed and should yield linker
 | 
						|
  errors otherwise.
 | 
						|
- wxTextCtrl text insertion efficiency fixed. (Mart Raudsepp)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
wxMac:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Vertical sliders oriented consistent with MSW/GTK (0 at top) (Kevin Hock)
 | 
						|
- wxDynamicLibrary::GetDllExt() now returns ".bundle", not ".dylib"
 | 
						|
- wxDynamicLibrary::GetSymbol() now prepends underscore to the symbol name
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
wxMSW:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- fixed enhanced metafiles loading from files (Andreas Goebel)
 | 
						|
- wxRadioButtons no longer have to be consecutive in a group
 | 
						|
- fixed spurious selection of combobox text during resize
 | 
						|
- pass correct tool id (and not always -1) to EVT_TOOL_RCLICKED() handler
 | 
						|
- added wxRegKey::Export(file)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
wxWinCE:
 | 
						|
- Added support for MS Handheld PC 2000. This was done before 2.5.4,
 | 
						|
  but not mentioned anywhere.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
wxUniv:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- wxBU_... button align flags support
 | 
						|
- vertical notebook orientation support
 | 
						|
- 3rd state support for checkboxes
 | 
						|
- wxLB_SORT and wxCB_SORT now cause case-insensitive sorting
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
wxPalmOS:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- William Osborne has won and new port was born
 | 
						|
  (see: "wxPalmOS porting challenge")
 | 
						|
- polishing of the port (unnecessary 2.4 API compatibility, removed
 | 
						|
  all wxMSW specific code which was base for the new port)
 | 
						|
- enumeration of available volumes
 | 
						|
- native wxPrefConfig around Preferences database
 | 
						|
- native wxProgressDialog implementation
 | 
						|
- native wxColourDialog implementation
 | 
						|
- native wxSystemSettings colours

						|
2.5.2
 | 
						|
-----
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
All:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Hindi translation added (Dhananjaya Sharma)
 | 
						|
- Brazilian Portuguese translation added (E. A. Tacao)
 | 
						|
- wxDynamicCast() now uses static_cast<wxObject *> internally and so using it
 | 
						|
  with anything not deriving from wxObject will fail at compile time (instead
 | 
						|
  of run-time) now
 | 
						|
- when wxUSE_STL == 1 and STL provides quasi-standard hash_map/hash_set,
 | 
						|
  wxHashMap/wxHashSet are just typedefs for them. This makes impossible
 | 
						|
  to forward declare these classes.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
All (GUI):
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- wxHtmlWindow now delays image scaling until rendering,
 | 
						|
  resulting in much better display of scaled images
 | 
						|
- Added UpdateSize to wxSplitterWindow to allow layout while hidden
 | 
						|
- implemented Freeze/Thaw() for wxGenericTreeCtrl (Kevin Hock)
 | 
						|
- support for KOI8-U encoding added (Yuriy Tkachenko)
 | 
						|
- The old wxADJUST_MINSIZE behaviour is now the default behaviour for
 | 
						|
  sizer items that are windows.  This means that GetAdjustedBestSize
 | 
						|
  will now be called by default to determine the minimum size that a
 | 
						|
  window in a sizer should have.  If you want to still use the initial
 | 
						|
  size (and not the BestSize) then use the wxFIXED_MINSIZE flag.  When
 | 
						|
  windows are added to a sizer their initial size is made the window's
 | 
						|
  min size using SetSizeHints, and calls to wxSizer::SetItemMinSize
 | 
						|
  are also forwarded to SetSizeHints for window items.
 | 
						|
- added wxRegEx::GetMatchCount()
 | 
						|
- it is now possible to display images in wxHtmlListBox
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
wxMSW:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- wxWindow::Freeze()/Thaw() can now be nested
 | 
						|
- Added wxSP_NO_XP_THEME style to wxSplitterWindow to switch off
 | 
						|
  XP theming (some applications look bad without 3D borders)
 | 
						|
- wxMenuBar::GetLabelTop() doesn't include '&'s in the label any more
 | 
						|
- wxRegConf couldn't read global settings without admin privileges and didn't
 | 
						|
  even try to do it by default -- now it does
 | 
						|
- wxTaskBarIcon must be explicitly destroyed now, otherwise the application
 | 
						|
  won't exit even though there are no top level windows
 | 
						|
- wxFileName::GetModificationTime() works with opened files too now
 | 
						|
- wxDC::GetClippingBox() now works even for clipping regions created by Windows
 | 
						|
- fixed wxFileDataObject in Unicode build (Alex D)
 | 
						|
- subindented paragraphs support (Tim Kosse)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
wxGTK:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- added support for wxTE_RIGHT and wxTE_CENTRE styles under GTK2 (Mart Raudsepp)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
wxMotif:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- removed wxMenuItem::DeleteSubMenu()
 | 
						|
- wxButtons use Motif default size, which is smaller than it used to be
 | 
						|
  and closer to wxMSW/wxGTK look. This can be disabled by setting
 | 
						|
  motif.largebuttons system option to 1 (see wxSystemOptions).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
wxUniv/X11:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- implemented DrawRoundedRectangle() (clawghoul)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
wxHTML:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- improved tables and lists layout algorithms (Tim Kosse)
 | 
						|
- <div> handling fix (Xavier Nodet)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Unix:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- fixed priorities of mailcap entries (David Hart)
 | 
						|
- added "wx-config --libs=std,<extra>" syntax (i.e. support for "std")
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
wxODBC:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Full Unicode support is now available
 | 
						|
- BLOB support is working
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 |

-----
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
All:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- It is now possible to build several smaller libraries instead of single
 | 
						|
  huge wxWidgets library; wxBase is now dependency of GUI ports rather then

						|
  separately compiled library

  When enabled, wxString will derive from std::string, wxArray from,
 | 
						|
  std::vector, wxList from std::list. In addition wxHashTable will be
 | 
						|
  implemented in terms of wxHashMap.
 | 
						|
- Added wxList::compatibility_iterator. Can be used like wxNode* (except
 | 
						|
  it can't be delete()d). It permits writing code which will work
 | 
						|
  both with wxUSE_STL==1 and wxUSE_STL==0.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

 | 
						|

 | 
						|
- Minor improvements to document/view framework, including
 | 
						|
  delayed deletion of a document (until after the user has chosen
 | 
						|
  a new document), and more intelligent addition of filenames to
 | 
						|
  the file history, including not adding filenames if not using the
 | 
						|
  default extension for the template
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
- Moved wxApp::SendIdleEvents and wxApp::ProcessIdle into common code.
 | 
						|
- wxWindow::OnInternalIdle is now used in all ports, and ensures that
 | 
						|
  user OnIdle events do not interfere with crucial internal processing.
 | 
						|
- wxWindow::UpdateWindowUI is now a documented function that
 | 
						|
  sends wxUpdateUIEvents, and can be overridden. It has a helper function
 | 
						|
  DoUpdateWindowUI for taking appropriate wxUpdateUIEvent action.
 | 
						|
- Added functions to wxUpdateUIEvent: Set/GetMode, Set/GetUpdateInterval,
 | 
						|
  CanUpdate, to assist with optimising update event frequency.
 | 
						|
- Added functions to wxIdleEvent: Set/GetMode, CanSend, to
 | 
						|
  determine whether a window should receive idle events.
 | 
						|
- Added wxWS_EX_PROCESS_IDLE, wxWS_EX_PROCESS_UI_UPDATES window
 | 
						|
  styles for use with conservative idle and update event modes.
 | 
						|
- send menu update events only when a menu is about to be used (MSW/GTK)
 | 
						|
- improved event processing performance (Hans Van Leemputten)
 | 
						|
- added wxMirrorDC class
 | 
						|
- printing improvements: GetPageInfo() gets called after the DC has
 | 
						|
  been set and after OnPreparePrinting() has been called so it can
 | 
						|
  report the number of pages accurately; doesn't try to set
 | 
						|
  number of pages in print dialog, in common with other Windows apps;
 | 
						|
  wxHTML easy printing's preview shows number of pages
 | 
						|
  correctly; preview scrollbars are set correctly; keyboard navigation
 | 
						|
  improved
 | 
						|

OLD CHANGES
 | 
						|
===========
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.2.x
 | 
						|
================================
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    Please take a few minutes to read the following list, especially
 | 
						|
    paying attention to the most important changes which are marked
 | 
						|
    with '!' in the first column.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    Also please note that you should ensure that WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_2
 | 
						|
    is defined to 1 if you wish to retain maximal compatibility with 2.2
 | 
						|
    series -- however you are also strongly encouraged to try to compile
 | 
						|
    your code without this define as it won't be default any longer in
 | 
						|
    2.6 release.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    NB: if you want to build your program with different major versions
 | 
						|
        of wxWidgets you will probably find the wxCHECK_VERSION() macro
 | 
						|
        (see the documentation) useful.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
wxBase:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
! wxArray<T>::Remove(size_t) has been removed to fix compilation problems
 | 
						|
  under 64 bit architectures, please replace it with RemoveAt() in your
 | 
						|
  code.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
! wxArray<T> macros have been changed to fix runtime problems under 64 bit
 | 
						|
  architectures and as a side effect of this WX_DEFINE_ARRAY() can only be
 | 
						|
  used now for the pointer types, WX_DEFINE_ARRAY_INT should be used for the
 | 
						|
  arrays containing non-pointers.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- wxObject::CopyObject() and Clone() methods were removed because they
 | 
						|
  simply don't make sense for all objects
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- wxEvent now has a pure virtual Clone() method which must be implemented
 | 
						|
  by all derived classes, if you have user-defined event classes please
 | 
						|
  add "wxEvent *Clone() const { return new MyEvent(*this); }" line to them
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- small change to wxStopWatch::Pause() semantics, please see the documentation
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- unlikely but possible incompatibility: the definition of TRUE has changed
 | 
						|
  from "1" to "(bool)1" (and the same thing for FALSE), so the code which
 | 
						|
  could be erroneously compiled previously such as doing "return FALSE" from
 | 
						|
  a function returning a pointer would stop compiling now (but this change
 | 
						|
  is not supposed to have any effects on valid code)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- another minor change: wxApp::OnAssert() has a new "cond" argument, you
 | 
						|
  must modify YourApp::OnAssert() signature if you were using it to override
 | 
						|
  the default assert handling.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
All (GUI):
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
! the event type constants are not constants any more but are dynamically
 | 
						|
  allocated during run-time which means that they can't be used as case labels
 | 
						|
  in the switch()es, you must rewrite them to use if()s instead
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  You may also define WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_EVENT_TYPES to get the old behaviour
 | 
						|
  but this is strongly discouraged, please consider changing your code
 | 
						|
  instead!
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
! wxDialog does not derive from wxPanel any longer - if you were using it in
 | 
						|
  your code, please update it. The quick fix for the most cases is to replace
 | 
						|
  the occurrences of wxPanel with wxWindow.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
! if you handle (and don't skip) EVT_KEY_DOWN, the EVT_CHAR event is not
 | 
						|
  generated at all, so you must call event.Skip() in your OnKeyDown() if
 | 
						|
  you want to get OnChar() as well
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- in general, the key events sent for the various non ASCII key combinations
 | 
						|
  have been changed to make them consistent over all supported platforms,
 | 
						|
  please see the wxKeyEvent documentation for details
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- wxYES_NO is now wxYES | wxNO and the manifest values of both wxYES and wxNO
 | 
						|
  have changed (to fix some unfortunate clashes), please check your code to
 | 
						|
  ensure that no tests for wxYES or wxNO are broken: for example, the following
 | 
						|
  will *NOT* work any longer:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
        if ( flags & wxYES_NO )
 | 
						|
                ... do something ...
 | 
						|
        if ( flags & wxYES )
 | 
						|
                ... do something else ...
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- static wxWizard::Create() doesn't exist any more, the wizards are created
 | 
						|
  in the same way as all the other wxWindow objects, i.e. by directly using
 | 
						|
  the ctor
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- wxGLCanvas now derives directly from wxWindow, not wxScrolledWindow
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- wxGridCellAttrProvider class API changed, you will need to update your code
 | 
						|
  if you derived any classes from it
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- wxImage::ComputeHistogram()'s signature changed to
 | 
						|
  unsigned long ComputeHistogram(wxImageHistogram&) const
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- wxEvtHandler cannot be copied/assigned any longer - this never worked but
 | 
						|
  now it results in compile-time error instead of run-time crashes
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- WXK_NUMLOCK and WXK_SCROLL keys no longer result in EVT_CHAR() events,
 | 
						|
  they only generate EVT_KEY_DOWN/UP() ones
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- the dialogs use wxApp::GetTopWindow() as the parent implicitly if the
 | 
						|
  parent specified is NULL, use wxDIALOG_NO_PARENT style to prevent this
 | 
						|
  from happening
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- several obsolete synonyms are only retained in WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_2 mode:
 | 
						|
  for example, use wxScrolledWindow::GetViewStart() now instead of ViewStart()
 | 
						|
  and GetCount() instead of Number() in many classes
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- wxCmdLineParser does not use wxLog to output messages anymore.
 | 
						|
  to obtain the previous behaviour, add
 | 
						|
  wxMessageOutput::Set(new wxMessageOutputLog); to your program
 | 
						|
  (you will need to #include <wx/msgout.h>)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
wxMSW:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
! build system changed: setup.h is not a static file in include/wx any more
 | 
						|
  but is created as part of the build process under lib/<toolkit>/wx
 | 
						|
  where <toolkit> is of the form (msw|univ)[dll][u][d]. You'll need to update
 | 
						|
  the include path in your make/project files appropriately. Furthermore,
 | 
						|
  xpm.lib is no longer used by wxMSW, it was superseded by the wxXPMDecoder
 | 
						|
  class. You'll need to remove all references to xpm.lib from your
 | 
						|
  make/project files. Finally, the library names have changed as well and now
 | 
						|
  use the following consistent naming convention: wxmsw[ver][u][d].(lib|dll)
 | 
						|
  where 'u' appears for Unicode version, 'd' -- for the debug one and version
 | 
						|
  is only present for the DLLs builds.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- child frames appear in the taskbar by default now, use wxFRAME_NO_TASKBAR
 | 
						|
  style to avoid it
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- all overloads of wxDC::SetClippingRegion() combine the given region with the
 | 
						|
  previously selected one instead of replacing it
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- wxGetHomeDir() uses HOME environment variable and if it is set will not
 | 
						|
  return the programs directory any longer but its value (this function has
 | 
						|
  never been meant to return the programs directory anyhow)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- wxHTML apps don't need to include wx/html/msw/wxhtml.rc in resources file
 | 
						|
  anymore. The file was removed from wxMSW
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Unix ports:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
! You should use `wx-config --cxxflags` in your makefiles instead of
 | 
						|
  `wx-config --cflags` for compiling C++ files. CXXFLAGS contains CFLAGS
 | 
						|
  and the compiler flags for C++ files only, CFLAGS should still be used
 | 
						|
  to compile pure C files.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
wxThread and related classes:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- The thread-related classes have been heavily changed since 2.2.x versions
 | 
						|
  as the old code had many serious problems. This could have resulted in
 | 
						|
  semantical changes other than those mentioned here, please review use of
 | 
						|
  wxThread, wxMutex and wxCondition classes in your code.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
! wxCondition now *must* be used with a mutex, please read the (updated) class
 | 
						|
  documentation for details and revise your code accordingly: this change was
 | 
						|
  unfortunately needed as it was impossible to ensure the correct behaviour
 | 
						|
  (i.e. absence of race conditions) using the old API.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- wxMutex is not recursive any more in POSIX implementation (it hasn't been
 | 
						|
  recursive in 2.2.x but was in 2.3.1 and 2.3.2), please refer to the class
 | 
						|
  documentation for the discussion of the recursive mutexes.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- wxMutex::IsLocked() doesn't exist any more and should have never existed:
 | 
						|
  this is was unique example of a thread-unsafe-by-design method.
 | 
						|

 | 
						|

  (sometimes you'd get a thick frame in a subwindow)
 | 
						|
- wxTextCtrl insertion point set to the beginning of the control by SetValue
 | 
						|
- Fix so wxMDIParentFrame is actually shown when Show(TRUE) is called.

 | 
						|
- wxExecute improved.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

						|
 | 
						|
- Fixed wxWindow::IsShown (::IsWindowVisible doesn't behave as

						|
  expected).
 | 
						|
- Changed VC++ makefiles (.vc) so that it's possible to have
 |

- Added wxRETAINED implementation for wxScrolledWindow.
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
  syntax should apply to both lex and flex).
 | 
						|
- Changed file selector colours for consistency (except for buttons:
 | 
						|
  crashes for some reason).
 | 
						|
- Fixed wxMotif version of wxImage::ConvertToBitmap (used new instead
 | 
						|
  of malloc, which causes memory problems).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
General:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Further doc improvements.
 | 
						|
- wxGenericValidator added.
 | 
						|

						|
wxGTK:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
wxMSW:
 | 
						|
 |

 | 
						|

 | 
						|

 | 
						|
- wxPoem sample now works.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
General:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Rearranged documentation a bit.
 | 
						|
- Sash window uses area of first frame/dialog to paint over when drawing
 | 
						|
  the dragged sash, not just the sash window itself (it clipped to the right
 | 
						|
  or below).
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
- Moved wxProp to main library (generic directory), created proplist

Beta 1, December 24th 1998
 | 
						|
--------------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
wxGTK:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Various
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
wxMSW, wxMotif: not in sync with this release.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Alpha 18, December 29th 1998
 | 
						|
----------------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
wxMSW:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Win16 support working again (VC++ 1.5)
 | 
						|
- Win16 now uses generic wxNotebook, wxListCtrl,
 | 
						|
  wxTreeCtrl -- more or less working now, although
 | 
						|
  a little work on wxNotebook is still needed.
 | 
						|
  Under 16-bit Windows, get assertion when you click
 | 
						|
  on a tab.
 | 
						|
- Wrote 16-bit BC++ makefiles: samples don't yet link.
 | 
						|
- Added CodeWarrior support to distribution courtesy
 | 
						|
  of Stefan Csomor.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
wxMotif:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Cured scrolling problem: scrollbars now show/hide themselves
 | 
						|
  without (permanently) resizing the window.
 | 
						|
- Removed some commented-out lines in wxScrolledWindow::AdjustScrollbars
 | 
						|
  that disabled scrollbar paging.
 | 
						|
- Set background colour of drawing area in wxWindow, so e.g. wxListCtrl
 | 
						|
  colours correctly.
 | 
						|
- Removed major bug whereby dialogs were unmanaged automatically
 | 
						|
  when any button was pressed.
 | 
						|
- Fixed colours of wxWindow scrollbars, made list and text controls
 | 
						|
  have a white background.
 | 
						|
- Fixed dialog colour setting.
 | 
						|
- Added settable fonts and colours for wxMenu/wxMenuBar. Now
 | 
						|
  they have sensible colours by default.
 | 
						|
- Fixed a bug in wxStaticBox.
 | 
						|
- Cured wxTreeCtrl bug: now works pretty well!
 | 
						|
- Debugged DrawEllipticArc (a ! in the wrong place).
 | 
						|
- Added SetClippingRegion( const wxRegion& region ).
 | 
						|
- Added wxPoint, wxSize, wxRect versions of SetSize etc.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Alpha 17, November 22nd 1998
 | 
						|
----------------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
wxMSW:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- More documentation updates, especially for
 | 
						|
  wxLayoutWindow classes and debugging facilities.
 | 
						|
- Changed wxDebugContext to use wxDebugLog instead
 | 
						|
  of wxTrace.
 | 
						|
- Now supports VC++ 6.0, and hopefully BC++ 5.0.
 | 
						|
  However, DLL support may be broken for BC++ since
 | 
						|
  VC++ 6 required changing of WXDLLEXPORT keyword
 | 
						|
  position.
 | 
						|
- Numerous miscellaneous changes.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
wxMotif:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Reimplemented MDI using wxNotebook instead of the MDI widgets, which
 | 
						|
  were too buggy (probably not design for dynamic addition/removal of
 | 
						|
  child frames).
 | 
						|
- Some improvements to the wxNotebook implementation.
 | 
						|
- wxToolBar now uses a bulletin board instead of a form, in an attempt
 | 
						|
  to make it possible to add ordinary wxControls to a toolbar.
 | 
						|
- Cured problem with not being able to use global memory operators,
 | 
						|
  by defining two more global operators, so that the delete will match
 | 
						|
  the debugging implementation.
 | 
						|
- Added wxUSE_DEBUG_NEW_ALWAYS so we can distinguish between using
 | 
						|
  global memory operators (usually OK) and #defining new to be
 | 
						|
  WXDEBUG_NEW (sometimes it might not be OK).
 | 
						|
- Added time.cpp to makefile; set wxUSE_DATETIME to 1.
 | 
						|
- Added a parent-existence check to popup menu code to make it not crash.
 | 
						|
- Added some optimization in wxWindow::SetSize to produce less flicker.
 | 
						|
  It remains to be seen whether this produces any resize bugs.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
It's a long time since I updated this file. Previously done:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- wxFrame, wxDialog done.
 | 
						|
- wxScrolledWindow done (but backing pixmap not used at present).
 | 
						|
- wxBitmap done though could be tidied it up at some point.
 | 
						|
- Most basic controls are there, if not rigorously tested.
 | 
						|
- Some MDI support (menus appear on child frames at present).
 | 
						|
- wxNotebook almost done.
 | 
						|
- wxToolBar done (horizontal only, which would be easy to extend
 | 
						|
  to vertical toolbars).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
More recently:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Colour and font changing done (question mark over what happens
 | 
						|
  to scrollbars).
 | 
						|
- Accelerators done (for menu items and buttons). Also event loop
 | 
						|
  tidied up in wxApp so that events are filtered through ProcessXEvent.
 | 
						|
- wxWindow::GetUpdateRegion should now work.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

						|
----------------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
 | 
						|

 | 
						|

 | 
						|
- A few more makefiles added.
 |

Alpha 15, August 31st 1998
 | 
						|
--------------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
wxMSW:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- wxBitmap debugged.
 | 
						|
- wxDC::GetDepth added.
 | 
						|
- Contribution added whereby wxBitmap will be
 | 
						|
  converted to DC depth if they don't match.
 | 
						|
- wxConfig API improved, documentation updated.
 | 
						|
- Printing classes name conventions cleaned up.
 | 
						|
- wxUpdateUIEvent now derives from wxCommandEvent
 | 
						|
  so event can travel up the window hierarchy.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Alpha 14, July 31st 1998
 | 
						|
------------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
wxMSW:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Toolbar API has been simplified, and now
 | 
						|
  wxFrame::GetClientArea returns the available client
 | 
						|
  area when toolbar, status bar etc. have been accounted for.
 | 
						|
  wxFrame::CreateToolBar added in line with CreateStatusBar.
 | 
						|
- Documentation updates, incl. for wxToolBar.
 | 
						|
- New wxAcceleratorTable class plus wxFrame::SetAcceleratorTable.
 | 
						|
- Various additions from other folk, e.g. streams, wxConfig
 | 
						|
  changes, wxNotebook.
 | 
						|
- Added wxDocMDIParentFrame, wxDocMDIChildFrame for doc/view.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Alpha 13, July 8th 1998
 | 
						|
-----------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
wxMSW:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Implemented wxPoint as identical to POINT on Windows, and
 | 
						|
  altered wxDC wxPoint functions to use wxPoint directly in
 | 
						|
  Windows functions, for efficiency.
 | 
						|
- Cured wxASSERT bug in wxStatusBar95.
 | 
						|
- #ifdefed out some bits in oleutils.cpp for compilers that
 | 
						|
  don't support it.
 | 
						|
- Added some operators to wxPoint, wxSize.
 | 
						|
- Added inline wxDC functions using wxPoint, wxSize, wxRect.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Alpha 12, July 7th 1998
 | 
						|
-----------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
wxMSW:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Added wxApp::GetComCtl32Version, and wxTB_FLAT style, so can
 | 
						|
  have flat toolbars on Win98 or Win95 with IE >= 3 installed.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Alpha 11, July 3rd 1998
 | 
						|
-----------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
wxMSW:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Added thread.h, thread.cpp.
 | 
						|
- Changed Enabled, Checked to IsEnabled, IsChecked in wxMenu,
 | 
						|
  wxMenuBar.
 | 
						|
- Changed wxMenuItem::SetBackColor to SetBackgroundColour,
 | 
						|
  SetTextColor to SetTextColour, and added or made public several
 | 
						|
  wxMenuItem accessors.
 | 
						|
- Added two overloads to wxRegion::Contains. Added
 | 
						|
  wxRegion::IsEmpty for a more consistent naming convention.
 | 
						|
- Added Vadim's wxDataObject and wxDropSource.
 | 
						|
- ENTER/LEAVE events now work.
 | 
						|
- Cured wxMemoryDC bug where the DC wasn't being deleted.
 | 
						|
- Cured wxGauge SetSize major bugginess.
 | 
						|
- Cured problem where if a GDI object was created on the stack,
 | 
						|
  then went out of scope, then another object was selected into
 | 
						|
  the DC, GDI objects would leak. This is because the assignment
 | 
						|
  to e.g. wxDC::m_pen would delete the GDI object without it first
 | 
						|
  being selected out of the DC. Cured by selecting the old DC object
 | 
						|
  first, then doing the assignment.
 | 
						|
- Split up wxGaugeMSW, wxGauge95, wxSliderMSW, wxSlider95
 | 
						|
- Various other bug fixes and additions.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Generic:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Major work on Dialog Editor (still plenty to go).
 | 
						|
- Expanded documentation a bit more.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Alpha 10, May 7th 1998
 | 
						|
----------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
wxMSW:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Added desiredWidth, desiredHeight parameters to wxBitmapHandler
 | 
						|
  and wxIcon functions so that you can specify what size of
 | 
						|
  icon should be loaded. Probably will remain a Windows-specific thing.
 | 
						|
- wxStatusBar95 now works for MDI frames.
 | 
						|
- Toolbars in MDI frames now behave normally. They still
 | 
						|
  require application-supplied positioning code though.
 | 
						|
- Changed installation instructions, makefiles and batch files
 | 
						|
  for compiling with Gnu-Win32/Mingw32/EGCS. Also timercmn.cpp
 | 
						|
  change to support Mingw32/EGCS. Bison now used by default.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Alpha 9, April 27th 1998
 | 
						|
------------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
wxMSW:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Cured bug in wxStatusBar95 that caused a crash if multiple
 | 
						|
  fields were used.
 | 
						|
- Added Gnu-Win32 b19/Mingw32 support by changing resource
 | 
						|
  compilation and pragmas.
 | 
						|
- Cured wxMenu bug introduced in alpha 8 - didn't respond to
 | 
						|
  commands because VZ changed the id setting in wxMenu::MSWCommand.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Generic:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Corrected some bugs, such as the wxModule compilation problem.
 | 
						|
- Added Gnu-Win32 b19/Mingw32 support by changing resource
 | 
						|
  compilation and pragmas.
 | 
						|
- Changed SIZEOF to WXSIZEOF.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Alpha 8, April 17th 1998
 | 
						|
------------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
wxMSW:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Added IsNull to wxGDIObject to check if the ref data is present or not.
 | 
						|
- Added PNG handler and sample - doesn't work for 16-bit PNGs for
 | 
						|
  some reason :-(
 | 
						|
- Added wxJoystick class and event handling, and simple demo.
 | 
						|
- Added simple wxWave class. Needs Stop() function.
 | 
						|
- Added wxModule (module.h/module.cpp) to allow definition
 | 
						|
  of modules to be initialized and cleaned up on wxWidgets
 | 
						|
  startup/exit.
 | 
						|
- Start of Mingw32 compatibility (see minimal and dialogs samples
 | 
						|
  makefile.m95 files, and install.txt).
 | 
						|
- Note: Windows printing has stopped working... will investigate.
 | 
						|
VADIM'S CHANGES:
 | 
						|
- Updated wxString: bug fixes, added wxArrayString, some
 | 
						|
  compatibility functions.
 | 
						|
- Updated log.h/cpp, added wxApp::CreateLogTarget.
 | 
						|
- file.h: new wxTempFile class.
 | 
						|
- defs.h: added wxSB_SIZE_GRIP for wxStatusBar95
 | 
						|
- statbr95: wxStatusBar95 control.
 | 
						|
- registry.h/cpp: wxRegKey class for Win95 registry.
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Generic:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Added src/other/png, src/other/zlib directories.
 | 
						|
- Added samples/png.
 | 
						|
- IMPORTANT: Changed 'no id' number from 0 to -1, in wxEVT_ macros.
 | 
						|
  Porters, please check particularly your wxTreeCtrl and wxListCtrl
 | 
						|
  header files.
 | 
						|
- Added modules.h/cpp, config.cpp, fileconf.cpp, textfile.cpp/h.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Alpha 7, March 30th 1998
 | 
						|
------------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
wxMSW:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Added tab classes, tab sample.
 | 
						|
- Now can return FALSE from OnInit and windows will be
 | 
						|
  cleaned up properly before exit.
 | 
						|
- Improved border handling so panels don't get borders
 | 
						|
  automatically.
 | 
						|
- Debugged MDI activation from Window menu.
 | 
						|
- Changes to memory debug handling, including checking for
 | 
						|
  memory leaks on application exit - but see issues.txt for
 | 
						|
  unresolved issues.
 | 
						|
- Added wxTaskBarIcon (taskbar.cpp/h, plus samples/taskbar)
 | 
						|
  to allow maintenance of an icon in the Windows 95 taskbar
 | 
						|
  tray area.
 | 
						|
- Got MFC sample working (MFC and wxWidgets in the same
 | 
						|
  application), partly by tweaking ntwxwin.mak settings.
 | 
						|
- Got DLL compilation working again (VC++).
 | 
						|
- Changed wxProp/Dialog Editor filenames.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Generic:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Added tab classes, tab sample.
 | 
						|
- Revised memory.cpp, memory.h slightly; memory.h now #defines
 | 
						|
  new to WXDEBUG_NEW in DEBUG mode. Windows implementation app.cpp
 | 
						|
  now checks for leaks on exit. Added memcheck sample.
 | 
						|
  See src/msw/issues.txt for more details.
 | 
						|
- resource.h, resource.cpp changed to make wxDefaultResourceTable
 | 
						|
  a pointer. Now initialize resource system with
 | 
						|
  wxInitializeResourceSystem and wxCleanUpResourceSystem, to
 | 
						|
  allow better control of memory.
 | 
						|
- wxString now derives from wxObject, to enable memory leak
 | 
						|
  checking.
 | 
						|
- Added some #include fixes in various files, plus changed
 | 
						|
  float to long in wxToolBar files.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Alpha 6, March 10th 1998
 | 
						|
------------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
wxMSW:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Found stack error bug - stopped unwanted OnIdle recursion.
 | 
						|
- Removed bug in wxTreeCtrl::InsertItem I added in alpha 5.
 | 
						|
- Changed exit behaviour in wxApp/wxFrame/wxDialog. Now will
 | 
						|
  check if the number of top-level windows is zero before
 | 
						|
  exiting. Also, wxApp::GetTopWindow will return either
 | 
						|
  m_topWindow or the first member of wxTopLevelWindows, so you
 | 
						|
  don't have to call wxApp::SetTopWindow.
 | 
						|
- Added dynarray.h/dynarray.cpp (from Vadim).
 | 
						|
- Added first cut at OLE drag and drop (from Vadim). dnd sample
 | 
						|
  added. Drop target only at this stage. See src/msw/ole/*.cpp,
 | 
						|
  wx/include/msw/ole/*.h. WIN32 only because of UUID usage.
 | 
						|
  Doesn't work with GnuWin32 - no appropriate headers e.g. for
 | 
						|
  IUnknown.
 | 
						|
  Doesn't work with BC++ either - crashes on program startup.
 | 
						|
- Added Vadim's owner-draw modifications - will probably remain
 | 
						|
  Windows-only. This enhances wxMenu, wxListBox. See ownerdrw sample.
 | 
						|
- Added wxLB_OWNERDRAW for owner-draw listboxes.
 | 
						|
- Vadim's wxCheckListBox derives from wxListBox. See checklst sample.
 | 
						|
  Doesn't entirely work for WIN16.
 | 
						|
- Vadim has added wxMenuItem as a separate file menuitem.cpp. It
 | 
						|
  can also be used as an argument to wxMenu::Append, not just for
 | 
						|
  internal implementation.
 | 
						|
- Some #ifdefs done for MINGW32 compilation (just alter OPTIONS
 | 
						|
  in makeg95.env, together with mingw32.bat). However, resource
 | 
						|
  binding is not working yet so most apps with dialogs crash.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Generic:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Added Vadim's dynarray.h, dynarray.cpp.
 | 
						|
- Added Vadim's menuitem.cpp.
 | 
						|
- Added Windows-specific wxCheckListBox,
 | 
						|
  owner-draw wxListBox, and drag-and-drop
 | 
						|
  (see docs/msw/changes.txt).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Alpha 5, 14th February 1998
 | 
						|
--------------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
wxMSW:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE
 | 
						|
  DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to
 | 
						|
  the Windows-specific code only. See docs/changes.txt for generic
 | 
						|
  changes.
 | 
						|
- Removed Windows-specific reference counting system (GDI
 | 
						|
  resources were cleaned up in idle time) - minimal
 | 
						|
  advantages now we have a wxWin reference counting system.
 | 
						|
- Added missing WXDLLEXPORT keywords so DLL compilation works
 | 
						|
  again.
 | 
						|
- Removed most warnings for GnuWin32 compilation.
 | 
						|
- Added wxRegion/wxRegionIterator, but haven't yet used it in
 | 
						|
  e.g. wxDC.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Generic:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE
 | 
						|
  DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to
 | 
						|
  the generic code only. See docs/msw/changes.txt for Windows-specific
 | 
						|
  changes.
 | 
						|
- Readmes, change logs and installation files now go in
 | 
						|
  platform-specific directories under docs, e.g. docs/msw,
 | 
						|
  docs/gtk.
 | 
						|
- Added DECLARE_APP and IMPLEMENT_APP macros so wxApp object gets
 | 
						|
  created dynamically, not as a global object.
 | 
						|
- Put wxColour into wx/msw/colour.h, src/msw/colour.cpp.
 | 
						|
- Changed names of some include/wx/generic headers to be
 | 
						|
  consistent and to conform to gcc pragma conventions. Also
 | 
						|
  changed choicesg.cpp to choicdgg.cpp.
 | 
						|
- Added gcc pragmas.
 | 
						|
- Added gtk inclusion in include/wx headers.
 | 
						|
- Added consistent file headings to source and headers.
 | 
						|
- Removed lang.cpp, lang.h and references to wxSTR_... variables;
 | 
						|
  added a few references to wxTransString.
 | 
						|
- Added operator to wxTransString that converts automatically
 | 
						|
  to wxString, so we can say e.g. wxMessageBox(wxTransString("Hello"), ...).
 | 
						|
- samples/internat now works (minimally).
 | 
						|
- Added wxMouseEvent::GetPosition and
 | 
						|
  wxMouseEvent::GetLogicalPosition, both returning wxPoints.
 | 
						|
- Made wxSize and wxRect contain longs not ints.
 | 
						|
- Cured some memory leaks (thanks Vadim).
 | 
						|
- Tidied up OnIdle and introduced RequestMore/MoreRequested so
 | 
						|
  will only keep processing OnIdle if it returns TRUE from
 | 
						|
  MoreRequested.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Alpha 4, 31st January 1998
 | 
						|
--------------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
All:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Changed wxDC functions to take longs instead of floats. GetSize now takes
 | 
						|
  integer pointers, plus a version that returns a wxSize.
 | 
						|
- const keyword added to various wxDC functions.
 | 
						|
- Under Windows, wxDC no longer has any knowledge of whether
 | 
						|
  an associated window is scrolled or not. Instead, the device
 | 
						|
  origin is set by wxScrolledWindow in wxScrolledWindow::PrepareDC.
 | 
						|
- wxScrolledWindow applications can optionally override the virtual OnDraw
 | 
						|
  function instead of using the OnPaint event handler. The wxDC passed to
 | 
						|
  OnDraw will be translated by PrepareDC to reflect scrolling.
 | 
						|
  When drawing outside of OnDraw, must call PrepareDC explicitly.
 | 
						|
- wxToolBarBase/wxToolBarSimple similarly changed to allow for
 | 
						|
  scrolling toolbars.
 | 
						|
- Integrated wxPostScriptDC patches for 1.xx by Chris Breeze,
 | 
						|
  to help printing with multiple pages.
 | 
						|
- IPC classes given base classes (wxConnectionBase etc.) which
 | 
						|
  define the API used by different implementations. DDE
 | 
						|
  implementation updated to use these base classes.
 | 
						|
- wxHelpInstance now separated into wxHelpControllerBase (base
 | 
						|
  for all implementations), wxWinHelpController (uses standard
 | 
						|
  WinHelp), wxXLPHelpController (talks to wxHelp by DDE or
 | 
						|
  TCP/IP). There will be others eventually, such as
 | 
						|
  wxHTMLHelpController for Microsoft (and Netscape?) HTML Help.
 | 
						|
- Added Vadim Zeitlin's wxString class plus
 | 
						|
  internationalization code (gettext simulation, wxLocale, etc.).
 | 
						|
  New files from Vadim:
 | 
						|
  include\wx\string.h
 | 
						|
  include\wx\debug.h
 | 
						|
  include\wx\file.h
 | 
						|
  include\wx\log.h
 | 
						|
  include\wx\intl.h
 | 
						|
  src\common\string.cpp
 | 
						|
  src\common\log.cpp
 | 
						|
  src\common\intl.cpp
 | 
						|
  src\common\file.cpp
 | 
						|
  No longer use GNU wxString files.
 | 
						|
- Split off file-related functions into include\wx\filefn.h and
 | 
						|
  src\common\filefn.cpp.
 | 
						|
- Borland C++ support (WIN32) for main library and
 | 
						|
  samples, using makefile.b32 files.
 | 
						|
- Preparation done for allowing BC++ to compile wxWin as a DLL,
 | 
						|
  including changes to defs.h.
 | 
						|
- wxIntPoint removed, wxPoint is now int, and wxRealPoint
 | 
						|
  introduced.
 | 
						|
- Added wxShowEvent (generated when window is being shown or
 | 
						|
  hidden).
 | 
						|
- Got minimal, docview, mdi samples working for 16-bit VC++ and
 | 
						|
  cured 16-bit problem with wxTextCtrl (removed global memory
 | 
						|
  trick).
 | 
						|
- Updated GnuWin32 makefiles, checked minimal, mdi, docview samples.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Alpha 3, September 1997
 | 
						|
-----------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
All:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- wxListCtrl, wxTreeCtrl, wxImageList classes done.
 | 
						|
- Instigated new file hierarchy, split files and classes up more logically.
 | 
						|
- PrologIO and some other utils now put into core library.
 | 
						|
- Revamped print/preview classes, added wxPageSetupDialog.
 | 
						|
- Started documentation.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Alpha 2, 30th April 1997
 | 
						|
------------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
All:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- EVT_... macros now have at least one argument, for conformance
 | 
						|
  with MetroWerks compiler.
 | 
						|
- Added ids to .wxr file format.
 | 
						|
- Got Dialog Editor compiled and running again but need
 | 
						|
  to extend functionality to be in line with new controls.
 | 
						|
  Added dialoged\test app to allow dynamic loading of .wxr files
 | 
						|
  for testing purposes.
 | 
						|
- Rewrote wxBitmap to allow installable file type
 | 
						|
  handlers.
 | 
						|
- Rewrote wxBitmapButton, wxStaticBitmap to not use Fafa.
 | 
						|
- Wrote most of wxTreeCtrl and sample (need wxImageList to implement it
 | 
						|
  fully).
 | 
						|
- Added back wxRadioBox.
 | 
						|
- Tidied up wx_main.cpp, wxApp class, putting PenWin code in
 | 
						|
  a separate file.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Alpha 1, 5th April 1997
 | 
						|
-----------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Generic:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
At this point, the following has been achieved:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- A lot, but not all, of the code has been revamped for better
 | 
						|
  naming conventions, protection of data members, and use of
 | 
						|
  wxString instead of char *.
 | 
						|
- Obsolete functionality deleted (e.g. default wxPanel layout,
 | 
						|
  old system event system) and code size reduced.
 | 
						|
- Class hierarchy changed (see design doc) - base classes such
 | 
						|
  as wxbWindow now removed.
 | 
						|
- No longer includes windows.h in wxWin headers, by using stand-in
 | 
						|
  Windows types where needed e.g. WXHWND.
 | 
						|
- PrologIO revised.
 | 
						|
- wxScrolledWindow, wxStatusBar and new MDI classes added.
 | 
						|
  MDI is now achieved using separate classes, not window styles.
 | 
						|
- wxSystemSettings added, and made use of to reflect standard
 | 
						|
  Windows settings.
 | 
						|
- SetButtonFont/SetLabelFont replaced by SetFont; font and colour
 | 
						|
  settings mucho rationalised.
 | 
						|
- All windows are now subclassed with the same window proc to make
 | 
						|
  event handling far more consistent. Old internal wxWnd and derived
 | 
						|
  classes removed.
 | 
						|
- API for controls revised, in particular addition of
 | 
						|
  wxValidator parameters and removal of labels for some controls.
 | 
						|
- 1 validator written: see examples/validate.
 | 
						|
- Event table system introduced (see most samples and
 | 
						|
  wx_event.cpp/ProcessEvent, wx_event.h). wxEvtHandler
 | 
						|
  made more flexible, with Push/PopEventHandler allowing a chain
 | 
						|
  of event handlers.
 | 
						|
- wxRadioBox removed - will be added back soon.
 | 
						|
- Toolbar class hierarchy revised:
 | 
						|
  wxToolBarBase
 | 
						|
  wxToolBarSimple (= old wxToolBar)
 | 
						|
  wxToolBar95 (= old wxButtonBar under Win95)
 | 
						|
  wxToolBarMSW (= old wxButtonBar under WIN16/WIN32)
 | 
						|
- Constraint system debugged somewhat (sizers now work properly).
 | 
						|
- wxFileDialog, wxDirDialog added; other common dialogs now
 | 
						|
  have class equivalents. Generic colour and font dialogs
 | 
						|
  rewritten to not need obsolete panel layout.
 | 
						|
- .wxr resource system partially reinstated, though needs
 | 
						|
  an integer ID for controls. Hopefully the resource system
 | 
						|
  will be replaced by something better and more efficient

  in the future.
 | 
						|
- Device contexts no longer stored with window and accessed
 | 
						|
  with GetDC - use wxClientDC, wxPaintDC, wxWindowDC stack
 | 
						|
  variables instead.
 | 
						|
- wxSlider uses trackbar class under Win95, and wxSL_LABELS flag
 | 
						|
  determines whether labels are shown. Other Win95-specific flags
 | 
						|
  introduced, e.g. for showing ticks.
 | 
						|
- Styles introduced for dealing with 3D effects per window, for
 | 
						|
  any window: all Win95 3D effects supported, plus transparent windows.
 | 
						|
- Major change to allow 3D effect support without CTL3D, under
 | 
						|
  Win95.
 | 
						|
- Bitmap versions of button and checkbox separated out into new
 | 
						|
  classes, but unimplemented as yet because I intend to remove
 | 
						|
  the need for Fafa - it apparently causes GPFs in Win95 OSR 2.
 | 
						|
- utils/wxprop classes working (except maybe wxPropertyFormView)
 | 
						|
  in preparation for use in Dialog Editor.
 | 
						|
- GNU-WIN32 compilation verified (a month or so ago).
