1------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 wxWidgets Change Log 3------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4 5INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.6.x 6================================ 7 8Changes in behaviour not resulting in compilation errors, please read this! 9--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10 11- For all wxInputStreams, Eof() becomes true after an attempt has been made 12 to read _past_ the end of file. 13- wxFileName::DirExists() checks if the path of the file is a directory, not 14 if the whole name is a directory. 15- wxDialog::CreateButtonSizer() may return NULL now, please see the manual. 16- wxStaticBoxSizer now deletes the associated wxStaticBox when it is deleted. 17- wxArray::Alloc() now works as reserve() and does not clear the array any more 18- Windows calling CaptureMouse() are now required to handle the 19 wxEVT_MOUSE_CAPTURE_LOST event and not call ReleaseMouse() in this case. 20- wxInputStream::GetC() now returns an int in the range 0 - 255 on success 21 instead of a char the range -128 - 127. 22 23 24Changes in behaviour which may result in compilation errors 25----------------------------------------------------------- 26 27- Some classes (notably wxBitmap and wxImage) don't define operator==() as it 28 used to work in somewhat unexpected way as it compared only internal pointers 29 and not the object data. The code using it will have to be updated: 30 * If the object was compared with wxNullXXX, use IsOk() method instead 31 * If valid object need to be compared, use IsSameAs() to reproduce the old 32 behaviour or change the code to avoid comparing bitmaps &c. 33- wxFontData::GetColour() now returns a const colour. 34- wxDC objects can't be created directly now (this never worked, now it doesn't 35 even compile). 36- wxCHECK family of macros now must be followed by a semicolon. 37- wxMBConv::cMB2WC() and cWC2MB() take size of the input buffer and return 38 length of the converted string in all cases now. 39- wxHtmlWindow::OnCellClicked() now returns bool. 40- wxHtmlCell::OnMouseClick() was deprecated and replaced with 41 wxHtmlCell::ProcessMouseClick(); old code overriding OnMouseClick() will 42 continue to work with WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_6, but should be rewritten to 43 use ProcessMouseClick(). 44- wxHtmlCell::GetCursor() was deprecated and replaced with 45 wxHtmlCell::GetMouseCursor(); old code overriding GetCursor() will 46 continue to work with WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_6, but should be rewritten to 47 use GetMouseCursor(). 48- wxHtmlCell::AdjustPagebreak() signature has changed, update your code if you 49 override it. 50- wxFontEnumerator::GetFacenames() and GetEncodings() now return arrays and 51 not pointers to arrays. 52- SetDefaultItem() method was moved from wxPanel to wxTopLevelWindow 53- wxDialog::OnOK/OnCancel() don't exist any more, use SetAffirmative/EscapeId() 54- wxPathList doesn't derive from (deprecated) wxStringList any more 55- wxGLContext class has no 1:1 coupling to a wxGLCanvas class any more. 56 As a consequence, the class interface changed largely. Code updates, if 57 any are required at all, are easy to accomplish though. 58 59 60Deprecated methods since 2.6.x and their replacements 61----------------------------------------------------- 62 63- wxGetWorkingDirectory() deprecated in favour of wxGetCwd(). 64- wxDC::BeginDrawing() and wxDC::EndDrawing() deprecated, don't use them. 65- wxWindowBase::GetBestFittingSize --> wxWindowBase::GetEffectiveMinSize. 66- wxWindowBase::SetBestFittingSize --> wxWindowBase::SetInitialSize. 67- Seeking on a zip stream returned from wxFileSystem without using the new 68 wxFS_SEEKABLE flags is deprecated. You can still seek, but use the flag. 69- Constructor wxZipInputStream(const wxString& archive, const wxString& file) 70 deprecated in favour of wxFileSystem (other zip ctors are not deprecated). 71- wx{Dir|File}Dialog::{Set|Get}Style deprecated in favour of the generic 72 wxWindow::{Set|Get}WindowStyle() 73 74 75Major new features in 2.8 release 76--------------------------------- 77 78- New AUI library supporting docking windows and much more. 79- New rich text control library implementing a generic wxRichTextCtrl, 80 using only the wxWidgets API. Also includes formatting dialogs, conversion 81 to HTML, and printing classes. 82- New wxComboCtrl class giving the ability to create custom, graphical 83 comboboxes. Associated classes include wxOwnerDrawnComboBox, wxComboPopup 84 and wxBitmapComboBox. 85- Further functionality including wxAnimationCtrl (moved from contrib/src/anim 86 and enhanced), wxSimpleHtmlListBox, wxHyperlinkCtrl, wxColourPickerCtrl, 87 wxDirPickerCtrl, wxFilePickerCtrl, wxFontPickerCtrl, wxCollapsiblePane, 88 wxSearchCtrl, wxAboutBox, wxTreebook, tar streams. 89 90 912.8.12: 92------- 93 94All: 95 96- Fixed a bug in UNC path testing. 97- Improved command line parser usage help. 98- Fixed race condition bugs in wxCondition. 99- Added wxT_2() for forward compatibility with wxWidgets 3. Use it in 100 initialization of wxCmdLineEntryDesc struct elements and (very few) other 101 places where wxT() is required currently but won't be allowed in v3. 102- Fixed crash on exit caused by deleting old logger in wxLogChain dtor. 103 104All (GUI): 105 106- wxRTC: fixed style selection resetting after editing a style. 107- wxRTC: can now edit line spacing in .1 increments from 1 to 2. 108- wxRTC: fixed wrong line spacing and space after paragraph calculations. 109- wxRTC: GetStyleMergedWithBase now detects loops. 110- wxRTC: wxRichTextCtrl::ApplyStyle now applies a paragraph style at the 111 cursor without needing a selection, and setting the default style now 112 avoids duplicating character attributes in subsequently typed text when 113 they exist in the paragraph style. 114- wxRTC: fixed IsPositionVisible to scroll a position into view correctly. 115- wxRTC: fixed a problem with paste resetting the content paragraph style. 116- wxRTC: style list box now copes with names duplicated across style types. 117 Also fixed wxRichTextStyleDefinition::GetStyleMergeWithBase similarly. 118- wxRTC: fixed very poor performance for XML loading on wxGTK. 119- Fixed error in generic tree control CalculatePositions. 120- Added wxFD_FILE_MUST_EXIST to wxFileSelector function. 121- Added wxDataViewCtrl Get/SetValueByRow functions for forward compatibility 122 with 2.9. 123- Right-clicking is now supported in any kind of wxAuiToolBar button. 124- Fixed a bug in wxAcceleratorEntry::IsOk. 125- wxGraphicsContext::DrawBitmap: x and y coordinates no longer affected by 126 stretch factor. 127- Fixed an assert in wxGrid on wxEVT_MOUSE_CAPTURE_LOST. 128- Fixed bug in generic wxTreeCtrl where SelectItem toggles the selection if 129 the item is already in the desired state. 130- Fixed bug in wxSizer::Replace(size_t, wxSizerItem *) whereby SetContainingSizer 131 is not called. 132- Fixed compilation with libpng 1.5 and above. 133- Removed ugly black (simple) border around wxHTML help window. 134 135wxMSW: 136 137- wxOwnerDrawnComboBox and wxComboCtrl with wxCB_READONLY window style now 138 have more native-like focus indicator rendering. 139- Fixed wxOwnerDrawnComboBox keyboard handling: drop-down is no longer 140 displayed when arrow key is pressed (without Alt). 141- In some rare cases wxOwnerDrawnComboBox drop-down animation could display 142 as garbage. This has now been greatly reduced (mcben). 143- Fixed OLE date conversion bug. 144- Added check for double window handle creation. 145- Fixed WIN64 crash in wxStyledTextCtrl. 146- Fixed Watcom compilation when omitting threads. 147- Fixed wxFileName::IsFileReadable on Windows 98. 148- Fixed bug whereby clicking anywhere inside wxListBox generates 149 wxEVT_COMMAND_LISTBOX_SELECTED event. You need to set wxUSE_LISTBOX_SELECTION_FIX 150 to 1 in include/wx/msw/listbox.h to enable this binary-incompatible fix. 151 152wxGTK: 153 154- Fix for --disable-radiobtn compilation. 155- Fixed a bug on GTK+ only whereby wxGrid scrolls back to the previous edit position 156 when another cell is edited. 157- Fix for missing menubar problem under some window managers where menu bar height is 158 reported as 0 when the menu hasn't fully realized yet. Now updates the height during 159 idle time if it is 0, otherwise no menu is shown. 160- Improved list control and tree control selection text theme compatibility by adding 161 wxSYS_COLOUR_LISTBOXHIGHLIGHTTEXT colour index. 162- wxComboCtrl and wxOwnerDrawnComboBox had wrong background colours under some 163 themes (Marcin Wojdyr). 164- Added thread-safe fixes to socket code. 165 166wxUniv: 167 168- Fixed assertion in tree control sample due to colour index not being supported. 169 1702.8.11: 171------- 172 173*** INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES: *** 174 175 Due to an oversight, a bug fix in wxMSW resulted in an incompatible change in 176 wxTreeCtrl behaviour: its EVT_TREE_ITEM_ACTIVATED handler now must skip the 177 event being processed to allow the item to be toggled by double clicking on it. 178 I.e. you need to ensure there is an "event.Skip()" in your item activation 179 handler if you do wish to allow the item to be toggled. 180 181All: 182 183- Fixed crashes due to invalid input in PNG and TIFF image loaders (Tielei Wang). 184- Fix compilation of wxWidgets headers with recent Sun CC (Brian Cameron). 185 NB: If your code uses _T() macro you must either replace it with wxT() to 186 use Sun CC or define wxNEEDS__T before including wx headers and avoid 187 including many standard headers (again, only with this compiler). 188- Added several functions forward compatible with wxWidgets 3.0 (troelsk): 189 wxDC::SetDeviceClippingRegion(), wxShowEvent::IsShown(), 190 wxIconizeEvent::IsIconized(), wxFileName::StripExtension(), 191 wxXmlNode::GetAttribute[s](), wxXmlNode::AddAttribute(). 192- wxDateTime timezone functions now dynamic (no caching). 193 194All (GUI): 195 196- Add wxBU_EXACTFIT support to wxToggleButton XRC handler (Ronny Krueger). 197- wxRTC: fixed AltGr+key input and numeric keypad Delete on Windows. 198- wxRTC: added background colour setting to font dialog. 199- wxRTC: added wxRICHTEXT_HANDLER_USE_CSS flag for HTML handler to use CSS 200 where possible. 201- wxRTC: corrected centring and right-justification spacing. 202- wxRTC: corrected some problems with SelectAll. Caret is now set to end. 203- Paper size conversion from dimensions to id now uses definition ordering 204 in order to use common types where there are duplications, fixing problems 205 where invalid sizes caused incorrect second invocation of page setup 206 dialog. 207- Corrected writing direction for Farsi. 208- Added wxBORDER_THEME to XRC. 209- Speeded up wxTreeCtrl by caching text size (botg). 210- Fix building with using system libpng 1.4 (Volker Grabsch). 211- Fixed generic wxDatePickerCtrl keyboard navigation. 212- Added EVT_WIZARD_PAGE_SHOWN event for wxWizard. 213 214wxMSW: 215 216- Fixed crash when copying Unicode URLs to the clipboard (Tim Kosse). 217- Fixed generation of wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK events. 218- Implement wxFileName::SetTimes() for directories (Steve Lamerton). 219- Correct wxTopLevelWindow::SetShape() for windows with menu bar (Peter Friis). 220- Backported speed-up of Vaclav Slavik's high quality print preview speed-up. 221 You now need to set wxUSE_HIGH_QUALITY_PREVIEW_IN_WXMSW in 222 src/common/prntbase.cpp and wxUSE_ENH_METAFILE_FROM_DC in 223 include/wx/msw/enhmeta.h. 224- Worked around child window and caret positioning bug (in Windows) when using 225 wxBORDER_THEME in a container window. 226- Suppressed spurious character event for decimal key in numeric keypad. 227- Prevented wxCheckListBox from corrupting menu items. 228 229wxGTK: 230 231- Don't access a possibly destroyed timer object from GTK callback (Tim Kosse). 232 233wxMac: 234 235- Fixed a problem with wxListCtrl whereby event processing would change 236 the event object identifier, and thereby affect subsequent processing, 237 and defeat custom event propagation of commands from current focus window. 238- Fixed a problem with wxFontDialog on Mac OS 10.6. 239 2402.8.10: 241------- 242 243All: 244 245- wxHashMap::insert() doesn't update the value if it didn't insert the element 246 any more (Marcin Malich). 247- Correct bug in wxTimeSpan::Format() for negative spans. 248- Correct several bugs in wxList using end() iterators (Suzumizaki-Kimitaka). 249- Added Vietnamese translation (Tran Ngoc Quan). 250- Updated Slovenian translation (Martin Srebotnjak). 251- Corrected Serbian locale name (Cody Precord). 252- Fix wxURL::GetInputStream() for URLs with special characters in credentials 253 (Robert Wruck). 254- Fix wxURI::GetUser() for URIs without password. 255- Correct wxDateTime DST computation for 2006 and later (Christopher Barker). 256 257All (GUI): 258 259- wxRTC: fixed input that uses Alt on Mac OS X, for example Polish Pro input. 260 Also fixed a bug whereby e.g. Croatian keys didn't work, by moving more code 261 to key down handler. 262- wxRTC: fixed a problem with HTML list generation. 263- wxRTC: no longer deletes a character when content is selected before 264 pressing Delete. 265- wxRTC: fixed inability to select no superscript and no subscript in 266 formatting dialog. 267- wxRTC: fixed centering and right-justification when combined with left 268 indentation. 269- wxRTC: fixed lack of right margin when centering or right-justifying. 270- wxRTC: fixed wrong descent when wrapping lines with different font sizes. 271- wxRTC: fixed wrapping problem for long lines. 272- wxRTC: all buffer margins now respected. 273- wxRTC: Added wxRE_CENTRE_CARET to centre the caret line vertically. 274- Fixed wxHTML's pagebreaks computation in tables (D.J.Stauffer). 275- Fixed wxHtmlWindow::SelectionToText() to correctly insert newlines after 276 single-cell paragraphs. 277- Fixed wxHTML's line breaks handling in <pre> blocks broken in 2.8.8 (#10120). 278- wxHTML: don't include extra whitespace in table cells. 279- Implemented wxWindow::DragAcceptFiles() on all platforms. 280- Added wxAUI_MGR_LIVE_RESIZE flag to wxAuiManager and made it the default on 281 wxMac with CoreGraphics where sash drawing isn't implemented. 282- Use bitmap mask in wxSplashScreen. 283- Translate "(c)" and "(C)" to the real copyright sign in wxAboutBox. 284- Fix painting of highlight border for merged cells in wxGrid (K.

Taylor) 2220- wxToolBarSimple, property list classes, wxTreeLayout moved 2221 to contrib/src/deprecated 2222 2223wxGTK: 2224 2225- added support for label mnemonics to GTK+2 build (Michael Moss) 2226- added native wxMessageDialog implementation for GTK+2 build 2227- fixed wxMenu::Remove (John Skiff and Benjamin Williams) 2228- made wxTextCtrl::EmulateKeyPress() work for Delete and Backspace 2229- fixed wxTopLevelWindow::ShowFullScreen to work with kwin, IceWM and 2230 window managers that support _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN 2231- added wxEVT_MENU_OPEN event generation 2232- fixed bug in generic file selector causing incomplete file extensions to 2233 be appended to filenames with no extension 2234- added wxTextCtrl::SetSelection implementation for GTK+ 2 2235- fixed wxTextCtrl::IsEditable() for GTK+ 2 2236- fixed wxStaticText alignment for GTK+ 2 (Kevin Hock) 2237- don't consume 100% CPU when showing a popup menu 2238 2239wxMac: 2240 2241- generate wxEVT_SCROLL_THUMBRELEASE and wxEVT_SCROLLWIN_THUMBRELEASE events 2242- generate wxEVT_MENU_OPEN and wxEVT_MENU_CLOSE events 2243 2244wxMSW: 2245 2246- possibility to use DIBs for wxBitmap implementation (Derry Bryson) 2247- added wxCrashReport 2248- wxStaticBitmap doesn't stretch its bitmap any longer (like other ports) 2249- support for accelerator keys in the owner drawn menus (Derry Bryson) 2250- wxCaret::SetSize() doesn't hide the caret any longer as it used to 2251- wxCheckListBox::Check() doesn't send CHECKLISTBOX_TOGGLE event any more 2252- fixed bugs in wxThread::Wait() and IsAlive() 2253- fixed bug with wxTR_EDIT_LABELS not working with wxTR_MULTIPLE 2254- fixes for compilation with OpenWatcom and DigitalMars compilers 2255- fixed wxStaticText best size calculation (was wrong by '&' width) 2256- fixed calling wxFrame::Maximize(FALSE) before the window is shown 2257- added wxNotebook::HitTest() (Otto Wyss) 2258- libraries built with makefile.g95 have a _min or _cyg suffix (MinGW/Cygwin) 2259- when using DLL, wxLocalFSHandler was not being exported 2260- fixed problem with wxEvtHandler object not removed from wxPendingEvents 2261- Windows XP manifest is now included in wx.rc; it is no longer necessary 2262 to ship .exe.manifest file with applications to support XP themes 2263- wxLocale::Init no longer reports error if trying to set Unicode-only locale 2264 or if user's default locale is Unicode-only 2265- improved border handling under Windows XP 2266- partial fix for wxNotebook pages looking bad under XP: wxUSE_UXTHEME 2267 enables XP theme engine code, and wxUSE_UXTHEME_AUTO tells 2268 wxWidgets to use the theme tab colour for control backgrounds. 2269- disable wxNB_RIGHT, wxNB_LEFT, wxNB_BOTTOM notebook styles under Windows XP 2270- fixed release mode build with VC 7.x (Martin Ecker) 2271- added support for wxALWAYS_SHOW_SB style 2272- you don't need to add opengl32.lib when using VC++ now (David Falkinder) 2273 2274wxMotif: 2275 2276- made wxFileDialog behaviour with complex wildcards more sensible (it still 2277 does not support all the features other ports do); refer to wxFileDialog 2278 documentation for a detailed explanation 2279- implemented wxWakeUpIdle 2280- for Motif 2.0, used the native combobox widget instead of the GPL'd 2281 xmcombo; xmcombo is still used for Motif 1.x and Lesstif when compiled 2282 with Motif 1.x compatibility 2283- implemented wxToggleButton 2284- wxRadioBox and wxStaticBox now use the default shadow (border) style 2285 instead of a sunken border 2286- implemented wxBitmapDataObject 2287- finished wxClipboard implementation 2288 2289wxUniv: 2290 2291- controls in toolbars now supported 2292 2293wxHTML: 2294 2295- added text selection to wxHtmlWindow 2296- added SetFonts to HTML printing classes (Adrian Philip Look) 2297- it is now possible to force page break when printing by inserting 2298 <div style="page-break-before:always"> into the markup (Greg Chicares) 2299- wxHtmlWindow now uses double buffering to prevent flicker 2300 2301 2302OLD CHANGES 2303=========== 2304 2305INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.2.x 2306================================ 2307 2308 Please take a few minutes to read the following list, especially 2309 paying attention to the most important changes which are marked 2310 with '!' in the first column. 2311 2312 Also please note that you should ensure that WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_2 2313 is defined to 1 if you wish to retain maximal compatibility with 2.2 2314 series -- however you are also strongly encouraged to try to compile 2315 your code without this define as it won't be default any longer in 2316 2.6 release. 2317 2318 NB: if you want to build your program with different major versions 2319 of wxWidgets you will probably find the wxCHECK_VERSION() macro 2320 (see the documentation) useful. 2321 2322 2323wxBase: 2324 2325! wxArray<T>::Remove(size_t) has been removed to fix compilation problems 2326 under 64 bit architectures, please replace it with RemoveAt() in your 2327 code. 2328 2329! wxArray<T> macros have been changed to fix runtime problems under 64 bit 2330 architectures and as a side effect of this WX_DEFINE_ARRAY() can only be 2331 used now for the pointer types, WX_DEFINE_ARRAY_INT should be used for the 2332 arrays containing non-pointers. 2333 2334- wxObject::CopyObject() and Clone() methods were removed because they 2335 simply don't make sense for all objects 2336 2337- wxEvent now has a pure virtual Clone() method which must be implemented 2338 by all derived classes, if you have user-defined event classes please 2339 add "wxEvent *Clone() const { return new MyEvent(*this); }" line to them 2340 2341- small change to wxStopWatch::Pause() semantics, please see the documentation 2342 2343- unlikely but possible incompatibility: the definition of TRUE has changed 2344 from "1" to "(bool)1" (and the same thing for FALSE), so the code which 2345 could be erroneously compiled previously such as doing "return FALSE" from 2346 a function returning a pointer would stop compiling now (but this change 2347 is not supposed to have any effects on valid code) 2348 2349- another minor change: wxApp::OnAssert() has a new "cond" argument, you 2350 must modify YourApp::OnAssert() signature if you were using it to override 2351 the default assert handling. 2352 2353All (GUI): 2354 2355! the event type constants are not constants any more but are dynamically 2356 allocated during run-time which means that they can't be used as case labels 2357 in the switch()es, you must rewrite them to use if()s instead 2358 2359 You may also define WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_EVENT_TYPES to get the old behaviour 2360 but this is strongly discouraged, please consider changing your code 2361 instead! 2362 2363! wxDialog does not derive from wxPanel any longer - if you were using it in 2364 your code, please update it. The quick fix for the most cases is to replace 2365 the occurrences of wxPanel with wxWindow. 2366 2367! if you handle (and don't skip) EVT_KEY_DOWN, the EVT_CHAR event is not 2368 generated at all, so you must call event.Skip() in your OnKeyDown() if 2369 you want to get OnChar() as well 2370 2371- in general, the key events sent for the various non ASCII key combinations 2372 have been changed to make them consistent over all supported platforms, 2373 please see the wxKeyEvent documentation for details 2374 2375- wxYES_NO is now wxYES | wxNO and the manifest values of both wxYES and wxNO 2376 have changed (to fix some unfortunate clashes), please check your code to 2377 ensure that no tests for wxYES or wxNO are broken: for example, the following 2378 will *NOT* work any longer: 2379 2380 if ( flags & wxYES_NO ) 2381 ... do something ... 2382 if ( flags & wxYES ) 2383 ... do something else ... 2384 2385- static wxWizard::Create() doesn't exist any more, the wizards are created 2386 in the same way as all the other wxWindow objects, i.e. by directly using 2387 the ctor 2388 2389- wxGLCanvas now derives directly from wxWindow, not wxScrolledWindow 2390 2391- wxGridCellAttrProvider class API changed, you will need to update your code 2392 if you derived any classes from it 2393 2394- wxImage::ComputeHistogram()'s signature changed to 2395 unsigned long ComputeHistogram(wxImageHistogram&) const 2396 2397- wxEvtHandler cannot be copied/assigned any longer - this never worked but 2398 now it results in compile-time error instead of run-time crashes 2399 2400- WXK_NUMLOCK and WXK_SCROLL keys no longer result in EVT_CHAR() events, 2401 they only generate EVT_KEY_DOWN/UP() ones 2402 2403- the dialogs use wxApp::GetTopWindow() as the parent implicitly if the 2404 parent specified is NULL, use wxDIALOG_NO_PARENT style to prevent this 2405 from happening 2406 2407- several obsolete synonyms are only retained in WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_2 mode: 2408 for example, use wxScrolledWindow::GetViewStart() now instead of ViewStart() 2409 and GetCount() instead of Number() in many classes 2410 2411- wxCmdLineParser does not use wxLog to output messages anymore. 2412 to obtain the previous behaviour, add 2413 wxMessageOutput::Set(new wxMessageOutputLog); to your program 2414 (you will need to #include <wx/msgout.h>) 2415 2416wxMSW: 2417 2418! build system changed: setup.h is not a static file in include/wx any more 2419 but is created as part of the build process under lib/<toolkit>/wx 2420 where <toolkit> is of the form (msw|univ)[dll][u][d]. You'll need to update 2421 the include path in your make/project files appropriately. Furthermore, 2422 xpm.lib is no longer used by wxMSW, it was superseded by the wxXPMDecoder 2423 class. You'll need to remove all references to xpm.lib from your 2424 make/project files. Finally, the library names have changed as well and now 2425 use the following consistent naming convention: wxmsw[ver][u][d].(lib|dll) 2426 where 'u' appears for Unicode version, 'd' -- for the debug one and version 2427 is only present for the DLLs builds. 2428 2429- child frames appear in the taskbar by default now, use wxFRAME_NO_TASKBAR 2430 style to avoid it 2431 2432- all overloads of wxDC::SetClippingRegion() combine the given region with the 2433 previously selected one instead of replacing it 2434 2435- wxGetHomeDir() uses HOME environment variable and if it is set will not 2436 return the programs directory any longer but its value (this function has 2437 never been meant to return the programs directory anyhow) 2438 2439- wxHTML apps don't need to include wx/html/msw/wxhtml.rc in resources file 2440 anymore. The file was removed from wxMSW 2441 2442 2443Unix ports: 2444 2445! You should use `wx-config --cxxflags` in your makefiles instead of 2446 `wx-config --cflags` for compiling C++ files. CXXFLAGS contains CFLAGS 2447 and the compiler flags for C++ files only, CFLAGS should still be used 2448 to compile pure C files. 2449 2450 2451wxThread and related classes: 2452 2453- The thread-related classes have been heavily changed since 2.2.x versions 2454 as the old code had many serious problems. This could have resulted in 2455 semantical changes other than those mentioned here, please review use of 2456 wxThread, wxMutex and wxCondition classes in your code. 2457 2458! wxCondition now *must* be used with a mutex, please read the (updated) class 2459 documentation for details and revise your code accordingly: this change was 2460 unfortunately needed as it was impossible to ensure the correct behaviour 2461 (i.e. absence of race conditions) using the old API. 2462 2463- wxMutex is not recursive any more in POSIX implementation (it hasn't been 2464 recursive in 2.2.x but was in 2.3.1 and 2.3.2), please refer to the class 2465 documentation for the discussion of the recursive mutexes. 2466 2467- wxMutex::IsLocked() doesn't exist any more and should have never existed: 2468 this is was unique example of a thread-unsafe-by-design method. 2469 2470 2471OTHER CHANGES 2472============= 2473 24742.4.0 2475----- 2476 2477wxMSW: 2478 2479- fixed loss of client data in wxChoice::SetString() 2480 24812.3.4 2482----- 2483 2484All: 2485 2486- added (partial) Indonesian translations (Bambang Purnomosidi D.

classes now support communicating over Unix domain sockets 2539- wxWidgets may be built as a dynamic shared library under Darwin / Mac OS X 2540 lazy linking issues have been solved by linking a single module (.o) into 2541 the shared library (two step link using distrib/mac/shared-ld-sh) 2542- fixed thread priority setting under Linux 2543 2544All (GUI): 2545 2546- it is now possible to set the icons of different sizes for frames (e.g. a 2547 small and big ones) using the new wxIconBundle class 2548- implemented radio menu items and radio toolbar buttons 2549- added possibility to show text in the toolbar buttons 2550- added wxArtProvider class that can be used to customize the look of standard 2551 wxWidgets dialogs 2552- significantly improved native font support 2553-

Previously done: 3315 3316- wxFrame, wxDialog done. 3317- wxScrolledWindow done (but backing pixmap not used at present). 3318- wxBitmap done though could be tidied it up at some point. 3319- Most basic controls are there, if not rigorously tested. 3320- Some MDI support (menus appear on child frames at present). 3321- wxNotebook almost done. 3322- wxToolBar done (horizontal only, which would be easy to extend 3323 to vertical toolbars). 3324 3325More recently: 3326 3327- Colour and font changing done (question mark over what happens 3328 to scrollbars). 3329- Accelerators done (for menu items and buttons). Also event loop 3330 tidied up in wxApp so that events are filtered through ProcessXEvent. 3331- wxWindow::GetUpdateRegion should now work. 3332 3333Alpha 16, September 8th 1998 3334---------------------------- 3335 3336wxMSW: 3337 3338- Added wxSashWindow, wxSashLayoutWindow classes, and sashtest 3339 sample. 3340- Guilhem's socket classes added, plus wxsocket sample. 3341- A few more makefiles added. 3342- GnuWin32/BC++ compatibility mods. 3343- Further doc updates. 3344- wxProp updates for correct working with wxGTK. 3345 3346wxMotif: 3347 3348- First start at Motif port. 3349- Made makefiles for wxMotif source directory and minimal sample. 3350- First go at wxApp, wxWindow, wxDialog, wxPen, wxBrush, wxFont, 3351 wxColour, wxButton, wxCheckBox, wxTextCtrl, wxStaticText, 3352 wxMenu, wxMenuItem, wxMenuBar 3353 3354Alpha 15, August 31st 1998 3355-------------------------- 3356 3357wxMSW: 3358 3359- wxBitmap debugged. 3360- wxDC::GetDepth added. 3361- Contribution added whereby wxBitmap will be 3362 converted to DC depth if they don't match. 3363- wxConfig API improved, documentation updated. 3364- Printing classes name conventions cleaned up. 3365- wxUpdateUIEvent now derives from wxCommandEvent 3366 so event can travel up the window hierarchy. 3367 3368Alpha 14, July 31st 1998 3369------------------------ 3370 3371wxMSW: 3372 3373- Toolbar API has been simplified, and now 3374 wxFrame::GetClientArea returns the available client 3375 area when toolbar, status bar etc. have been accounted for. 3376 wxFrame::CreateToolBar added in line with CreateStatusBar. 3377- Documentation updates, incl. for wxToolBar. 3378- New wxAcceleratorTable class plus wxFrame::SetAcceleratorTable. 3379- Various additions from other folk, e.g. streams, wxConfig 3380 changes, wxNotebook. 3381- Added wxDocMDIParentFrame, wxDocMDIChildFrame for doc/view. 3382 3383Alpha 13, July 8th 1998 3384----------------------- 3385 3386wxMSW: 3387 3388- Implemented wxPoint as identical to POINT on Windows, and 3389 altered wxDC wxPoint functions to use wxPoint directly in 3390 Windows functions, for efficiency. 3391- Cured wxASSERT bug in wxStatusBar95. 3392- #ifdefed out some bits in oleutils.cpp for compilers that 3393 don't support it. 3394- Added some operators to wxPoint, wxSize. 3395- Added inline wxDC functions using wxPoint, wxSize, wxRect. 3396 3397Alpha 12, July 7th 1998 3398----------------------- 3399 3400wxMSW: 3401 3402- Added wxApp::GetComCtl32Version, and wxTB_FLAT style, so can 3403 have flat toolbars on Win98 or Win95 with IE >= 3 installed. 3404 3405Alpha 11, July 3rd 1998 3406----------------------- 3407 3408wxMSW: 3409 3410- Added thread.h, thread.cpp. 3411- Changed Enabled, Checked to IsEnabled, IsChecked in wxMenu, 3412 wxMenuBar. 3413- Changed wxMenuItem::SetBackColor to SetBackgroundColour, 3414 SetTextColor to SetTextColour, and added or made public several 3415 wxMenuItem accessors. 3416- Added two overloads to wxRegion::Contains. Added 3417 wxRegion::IsEmpty for a more consistent naming convention. 3418- Added Vadim's wxDataObject and wxDropSource. 3419- ENTER/LEAVE events now work. 3420- Cured wxMemoryDC bug where the DC wasn't being deleted. 3421- Cured wxGauge SetSize major bugginess. 3422- Cured problem where if a GDI object was created on the stack, 3423 then went out of scope, then another object was selected into 3424 the DC, GDI objects would leak. This is because the assignment 3425 to e.g. wxDC::m_pen would delete the GDI object without it first 3426 being selected out of the DC. Cured by selecting the old DC object 3427 first, then doing the assignment. 3428- Split up wxGaugeMSW, wxGauge95, wxSliderMSW, wxSlider95 3429- Various other bug fixes and additions. 3430 3431Generic: 3432 3433- Major work on Dialog Editor (still plenty to go). 3434- Expanded documentation a bit more. 3435 3436Alpha 10, May 7th 1998 3437---------------------- 3438 3439wxMSW: 3440 3441- Added desiredWidth, desiredHeight parameters to wxBitmapHandler 3442 and wxIcon functions so that you can specify what size of 3443 icon should be loaded. Probably will remain a Windows-specific thing. 3444- wxStatusBar95 now works for MDI frames. 3445- Toolbars in MDI frames now behave normally. They still 3446 require application-supplied positioning code though. 3447- Changed installation instructions, makefiles and batch files 3448 for compiling with Gnu-Win32/Mingw32/EGCS. Also timercmn.cpp 3449 change to support Mingw32/EGCS. Bison now used by default. 3450 3451Alpha 9, April 27th 1998 3452------------------------ 3453 3454wxMSW: 3455 3456- Cured bug in wxStatusBar95 that caused a crash if multiple 3457 fields were used. 3458- Added Gnu-Win32 b19/Mingw32 support by changing resource 3459 compilation and pragmas. 3460- Cured wxMenu bug introduced in alpha 8 - didn't respond to 3461 commands because VZ changed the id setting in wxMenu::MSWCommand. 3462 3463Generic: 3464 3465- Corrected some bugs, such as the wxModule compilation problem. 3466- Added Gnu-Win32 b19/Mingw32 support by changing resource 3467 compilation and pragmas. 3468- Changed SIZEOF to WXSIZEOF. 3469 3470Alpha 8, April 17th 1998 3471------------------------ 3472 3473wxMSW: 3474 3475- Added IsNull to wxGDIObject to check if the ref data is present or not. 3476- Added PNG handler and sample - doesn't work for 16-bit PNGs for 3477 some reason :-( 3478- Added wxJoystick class and event handling, and simple demo. 3479- Added simple wxWave class. Needs Stop() function. 3480- Added wxModule (module.h/module.cpp) to allow definition 3481 of modules to be initialized and cleaned up on wxWidgets 3482 startup/exit. 3483- Start of Mingw32 compatibility (see minimal and dialogs samples 3484 makefile.m95 files, and install.txt). 3485- Note: Windows printing has stopped working... will investigate. 3486VADIM'S CHANGES: 3487- Updated wxString: bug fixes, added wxArrayString, some 3488 compatibility functions. 3489- Updated log.h/cpp, added wxApp::CreateLogTarget. 3490- file.h: new wxTempFile class. 3491- defs.h: added wxSB_SIZE_GRIP for wxStatusBar95 3492- statbr95: wxStatusBar95 control. 3493- registry.h/cpp: wxRegKey class for Win95 registry. 3494- listbox.cpp: corrected some bugs with owner-drawn listboxes. 3495- wxConfig and wxFileConfig classes. 3496 3497Generic: 3498 3499- Added src/other/png, src/other/zlib directories. 3500- Added samples/png. 3501- IMPORTANT: Changed 'no id' number from 0 to -1, in wxEVT_ macros. 3502 Porters, please check particularly your wxTreeCtrl and wxListCtrl 3503 header files. 3504- Added modules.h/cpp, config.cpp, fileconf.cpp, textfile.cpp/h. 3505 3506Alpha 7, March 30th 1998 3507------------------------ 3508 3509wxMSW: 3510 3511- Added tab classes, tab sample. 3512- Now can return FALSE from OnInit and windows will be 3513 cleaned up properly before exit. 3514- Improved border handling so panels don't get borders 3515 automatically. 3516- Debugged MDI activation from Window menu. 3517- Changes to memory debug handling, including checking for 3518 memory leaks on application exit - but see issues.txt for 3519 unresolved issues. 3520- Added wxTaskBarIcon (taskbar.cpp/h, plus samples/taskbar) 3521 to allow maintenance of an icon in the Windows 95 taskbar 3522 tray area. 3523- Got MFC sample working (MFC and wxWidgets in the same 3524 application), partly by tweaking ntwxwin.mak settings. 3525- Got DLL compilation working again (VC++). 3526- Changed wxProp/Dialog Editor filenames. 3527 3528Generic: 3529 3530- Added tab classes, tab sample. 3531- Revised memory.cpp, memory.h slightly; memory.h now #defines 3532 new to WXDEBUG_NEW in DEBUG mode. Windows implementation app.cpp 3533 now checks for leaks on exit. Added memcheck sample. 3534 See src/msw/issues.txt for more details. 3535- resource.h, resource.cpp changed to make wxDefaultResourceTable 3536 a pointer. Now initialize resource system with 3537 wxInitializeResourceSystem and wxCleanUpResourceSystem, to 3538 allow better control of memory. 3539- wxString now derives from wxObject, to enable memory leak 3540 checking. 3541- Added some #include fixes in various files, plus changed 3542 float to long in wxToolBar files. 3543 3544Alpha 6, March 10th 1998 3545------------------------ 3546 3547wxMSW: 3548 3549- Found stack error bug - stopped unwanted OnIdle recursion. 3550- Removed bug in wxTreeCtrl::InsertItem I added in alpha 5. 3551- Changed exit behaviour in wxApp/wxFrame/wxDialog. Now will 3552 check if the number of top-level windows is zero before 3553 exiting. Also, wxApp::GetTopWindow will return either 3554 m_topWindow or the first member of wxTopLevelWindows, so you 3555 don't have to call wxApp::SetTopWindow. 3556- Added dynarray.h/dynarray.cpp (from Vadim). 3557- Added first cut at OLE drag and drop (from Vadim). dnd sample 3558 added. Drop target only at this stage. See src/msw/ole/*.cpp, 3559 wx/include/msw/ole/*.h. WIN32 only because of UUID usage. 3560 Doesn't work with GnuWin32 - no appropriate headers e.g. for 3561 IUnknown. 3562 Doesn't work with BC++ either - crashes on program startup. 3563- Added Vadim's owner-draw modifications - will probably remain 3564 Windows-only. This enhances wxMenu, wxListBox. See ownerdrw sample. 3565- Added wxLB_OWNERDRAW for owner-draw listboxes. 3566- Vadim's wxCheckListBox derives from wxListBox. See checklst sample. 3567 Doesn't entirely work for WIN16. 3568- Vadim has added wxMenuItem as a separate file menuitem.cpp. It 3569 can also be used as an argument to wxMenu::Append, not just for 3570 internal implementation. 3571- Some #ifdefs done for MINGW32 compilation (just alter OPTIONS 3572 in makeg95.env, together with mingw32.bat). However, resource 3573 binding is not working yet so most apps with dialogs crash. 3574 3575Generic: 3576 3577- Added Vadim's dynarray.h, dynarray.cpp. 3578- Added Vadim's menuitem.cpp. 3579- Added Windows-specific wxCheckListBox, 3580 owner-draw wxListBox, and drag-and-drop 3581 (see docs/msw/changes.txt). 3582 3583Alpha 5, 14th February 1998 3584-------------------------- 3585 3586wxMSW: 3587 3588- GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE 3589 DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to 3590 the Windows-specific code only. See docs/changes.txt for generic 3591 changes. 3592- Removed Windows-specific reference counting system (GDI 3593 resources were cleaned up in idle time) - minimal 3594 advantages now we have a wxWin reference counting system. 3595- Added missing WXDLLEXPORT keywords so DLL compilation works 3596 again. 3597- Removed most warnings for GnuWin32 compilation. 3598- Added wxRegion/wxRegionIterator, but haven't yet used it in 3599 e.g. wxDC. 3600 3601Generic: 3602 3603- GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE 3604 DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to 3605 the generic code only. See docs/msw/changes.txt for Windows-specific 3606 changes. 3607- Readmes, change logs and installation files now go in 3608 platform-specific directories under docs, e.g. docs/msw, 3609 docs/gtk. 3610- Added DECLARE_APP and IMPLEMENT_APP macros so wxApp object gets 3611 created dynamically, not as a global object. 3612- Put wxColour into wx/msw/colour.h, src/msw/colour.cpp. 3613- Changed names of some include/wx/generic headers to be 3614 consistent and to conform to gcc pragma conventions. Also 3615 changed choicesg.cpp to choicdgg.cpp. 3616- Added gcc pragmas. 3617- Added gtk inclusion in include/wx headers. 3618- Added consistent file headings to source and headers. 3619- Removed lang.cpp, lang.h and references to wxSTR_... variables; 3620 added a few references to wxTransString. 3621- Added operator to wxTransString that converts automatically 3622 to wxString, so we can say e.g. wxMessageBox(wxTransString("Hello"), ...). 3623- samples/internat now works (minimally). 3624- Added wxMouseEvent::GetPosition and 3625 wxMouseEvent::GetLogicalPosition, both returning wxPoints. 3626- Made wxSize and wxRect contain longs not ints. 3627- Cured some memory leaks (thanks Vadim). 3628- Tidied up OnIdle and introduced RequestMore/MoreRequested so 3629 will only keep processing OnIdle if it returns TRUE from 3630 MoreRequested. 3631 3632Alpha 4, 31st January 1998 3633-------------------------- 3634 3635All: 3636 3637- Changed wxDC functions to take longs instead of floats. GetSize now takes 3638 integer pointers, plus a version that returns a wxSize. 3639- const keyword added to various wxDC functions. 3640- Under Windows, wxDC no longer has any knowledge of whether 3641 an associated window is scrolled or not. Instead, the device 3642 origin is set by wxScrolledWindow in wxScrolledWindow::PrepareDC. 3643- wxScrolledWindow applications can optionally override the virtual OnDraw 3644 function instead of using the OnPaint event handler. The wxDC passed to 3645 OnDraw will be translated by PrepareDC to reflect scrolling. 3646 When drawing outside of OnDraw, must call PrepareDC explicitly. 3647- wxToolBarBase/wxToolBarSimple similarly changed to allow for 3648 scrolling toolbars. 3649- Integrated wxPostScriptDC patches for 1.xx by Chris Breeze, 3650 to help printing with multiple pages. 3651- IPC classes given base classes (wxConnectionBase etc.) which 3652 define the API used by different implementations. DDE 3653 implementation updated to use these base classes. 3654- wxHelpInstance now separated into wxHelpControllerBase (base 3655 for all implementations), wxWinHelpController (uses standard 3656 WinHelp), wxXLPHelpController (talks to wxHelp by DDE or 3657 TCP/IP). There will be others eventually, such as 3658 wxHTMLHelpController for Microsoft (and Netscape?) HTML Help. 3659- Added Vadim Zeitlin's wxString class plus 3660 internationalization code (gettext simulation, wxLocale, etc.). 3661 New files from Vadim: 3662 include\wx\string.h 3663 include\wx\debug.h 3664 include\wx\file.h 3665 include\wx\log.h 3666 include\wx\intl.h 3667 src\common\string.cpp 3668 src\common\log.cpp 3669 src\common\intl.cpp 3670 src\common\file.cpp 3671 No longer use GNU wxString files. 3672- Split off file-related functions into include\wx\filefn.h and 3673 src\common\filefn.cpp. 3674- Borland C++ support (WIN32) for main library and 3675 samples, using makefile.b32 files. 3676- Preparation done for allowing BC++ to compile wxWin as a DLL, 3677 including changes to defs.h. 3678- wxIntPoint removed, wxPoint is now int, and wxRealPoint 3679 introduced. 3680- Added wxShowEvent (generated when window is being shown or 3681 hidden). 3682- Got minimal, docview, mdi samples working for 16-bit VC++ and 3683 cured 16-bit problem with wxTextCtrl (removed global memory 3684 trick). 3685- Updated GnuWin32 makefiles, checked minimal, mdi, docview samples. 3686 3687Alpha 3, September 1997 3688----------------------- 3689 3690All: 3691 3692- wxListCtrl, wxTreeCtrl, wxImageList classes done. 3693- Instigated new file hierarchy, split files and classes up more logically. 3694- PrologIO and some other utils now put into core library. 3695- Revamped print/preview classes, added wxPageSetupDialog. 3696- Started documentation. 3697 3698Alpha 2, 30th April 1997 3699------------------------ 3700 3701All: 3702 3703- EVT_... macros now have at least one argument, for conformance 3704 with MetroWerks compiler. 3705- Added ids to .wxr file format. 3706- Got Dialog Editor compiled and running again but need 3707 to extend functionality to be in line with new controls. 3708 Added dialoged\test app to allow dynamic loading of .wxr files 3709 for testing purposes. 3710- Rewrote wxBitmap to allow installable file type 3711 handlers. 3712- Rewrote wxBitmapButton, wxStaticBitmap to not use Fafa. 3713- Wrote most of wxTreeCtrl and sample (need wxImageList to implement it 3714 fully). 3715- Added back wxRadioBox. 3716- Tidied up wx_main.cpp, wxApp class, putting PenWin code in 3717 a separate file. 3718 3719Alpha 1, 5th April 1997 3720----------------------- 3721 3722Generic: 3723 3724At this point, the following has been achieved: 3725 3726- A lot, but not all, of the code has been revamped for better 3727 naming conventions, protection of data members, and use of 3728 wxString instead of char *. 3729- Obsolete functionality deleted (e.g. default wxPanel layout, 3730 old system event system) and code size reduced. 3731- Class hierarchy changed (see design doc) - base classes such 3732 as wxbWindow now removed. 3733- No longer includes windows.h in wxWin headers, by using stand-in 3734 Windows types where needed e.g. WXHWND. 3735- PrologIO revised. 3736- wxScrolledWindow, wxStatusBar and new MDI classes added. 3737 MDI is now achieved using separate classes, not window styles. 3738- wxSystemSettings added, and made use of to reflect standard 3739 Windows settings. 3740- SetButtonFont/SetLabelFont replaced by SetFont; font and colour 3741 settings mucho rationalised. 3742- All windows are now subclassed with the same window proc to make 3743 event handling far more consistent. Old internal wxWnd and derived 3744 classes removed. 3745- API for controls revised, in particular addition of 3746 wxValidator parameters and removal of labels for some controls. 3747- 1 validator written: see examples/validate. 3748- Event table system introduced (see most samples and 3749 wx_event.cpp/ProcessEvent, wx_event.h). wxEvtHandler 3750 made more flexible, with Push/PopEventHandler allowing a chain 3751 of event handlers. 3752- wxRadioBox removed - will be added back soon. 3753- Toolbar class hierarchy revised: 3754 wxToolBarBase 3755 wxToolBarSimple (= old wxToolBar) 3756 wxToolBar95 (= old wxButtonBar under Win95) 3757 wxToolBarMSW (= old wxButtonBar under WIN16/WIN32) 3758- Constraint system debugged somewhat (sizers now work properly). 3759- wxFileDialog, wxDirDialog added; other common dialogs now 3760 have class equivalents. Generic colour and font dialogs 3761 rewritten to not need obsolete panel layout. 3762- .wxr resource system partially reinstated, though needs 3763 an integer ID for controls. Hopefully the resource system 3764 will be replaced by something better and more efficient 3765 in the future. 3766- Device contexts no longer stored with window and accessed 3767 with GetDC - use wxClientDC, wxPaintDC, wxWindowDC stack 3768 variables instead. 3769- wxSlider uses trackbar class under Win95, and wxSL_LABELS flag 3770 determines whether labels are shown. Other Win95-specific flags 3771 introduced, e.g. for showing ticks. 3772- Styles introduced for dealing with 3D effects per window, for 3773 any window: all Win95 3D effects supported, plus transparent windows. 3774- Major change to allow 3D effect support without CTL3D, under 3775 Win95. 3776- Bitmap versions of button and checkbox separated out into new 3777 classes, but unimplemented as yet because I intend to remove 3778 the need for Fafa - it apparently causes GPFs in Win95 OSR 2. 3779- utils/wxprop classes working (except maybe wxPropertyFormView) 3780 in preparation for use in Dialog Editor. 3781- GNU-WIN32 compilation verified (a month or so ago). 3782
