February 29, 2016 -- The wxWidgets team is pleased to announce a new
|
|
release of our open source framework for the development of native
|
|
cross-platform applications in C++.
|
|
|
|
wxWidgets 3.1.0 is the first release in the new development 3.1.0
|
|
branch and is now available at
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/releases/tag/v3.1.0
|
|
|
|
Compared to the stable 3.0.x series, this version brings many
|
|
improvements and even more bug fixes, please see the change log
|
|
|
|
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/v3.0.2/docs/changes.txt
|
|
|
|
for the incomplete list of the most important ones. Here is the
|
|
maximally condensed summary:
|
|
|
|
- New classes: wxActivityIndicator, wxAddRemoveCtrl,
|
|
wxAppProgressIndicator, wxNativeWindow, wxPowerResourceBlocker.
|
|
- And methods: wxDateTime::GetWeekBasedYear(), wxListBox::GetTopItem(),
|
|
wxProcess::Activate(), wxTextEntry::ForceUpper(), several ones in
|
|
wxRendererNative, wxStandardPaths::GetUserDir(), wxUIActionSimulator
|
|
::Select() and many others. Also new wxEVT_MAGNIFY event.
|
|
- Significant improvements to: wxBusyInfo, wxNotificationMessage.
|
|
- All around better support for high DPI monitors.
|
|
- Much newer versions of bundled 3rd party libraries (notably libpng)
|
|
and support for GStreamer 1.0 under Unix.
|
|
- Revamped OpenGL support better suited to modern OpenGL (3.2+).
|
|
- Further C++11 support improvements.
|
|
- Support for latest compilers: MSVS 2015, g++ 5.3, clang 3.8.
|
|
- A lot of bug fixes in wxGTK3 and wxOSX/Cocoa ports.
|
|
- New experimental wxQt port.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This release is a "development" one as it makes (very few)
|
|
incompatible API changes compared to 3.0 and does not guarantee the
|
|
ABI stability, unlike the 3.0.x series. It is not inherently more
|
|
buggy or less stable than the "stable" releases and you're encouraged
|
|
to use it. If you're already using 3.0, upgrading shouldn't require
|
|
any special effort, so please try it out.
|
|
|
|
We hope that you will enjoy using the new release!
|
