December 10, 2018 -- 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 3.1.2 is the latest release in the 3.1 development
|
|
branch and is now available at
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/releases/tag/v3.1.2
|
|
|
|
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/v3.1.2/docs/changes.txt
|
|
|
|
for the incomplete list of the most important ones. Here is the
|
|
maximally condensed summary of the changes compared to 3.0:
|
|
|
|
- Build system improvements: support for new compilers (MSVS 2017, g++ 8) and
|
|
OS versions (macOS 10.14 and its dark mode) as well as an entirely new CMake
|
|
build system.
|
|
- New features: support for mouse gesture events (GSoC 2017 project);
|
|
non-integer font sizes and arbitrary font weights in wxFont; fractional pen
|
|
widths in wxGraphicsContext; arbitrary label windows in wxStaticBox; markup
|
|
in wxDataViewCtrl items text; better support for high DPI monitors; support
|
|
for ZIP 64 files; LZMA compression; much improved accessibility support under
|
|
MSW.
|
|
- New classes: wxActivityIndicator, wxAddRemoveCtrl,
|
|
wxAppProgressIndicator, wxNativeWindow, wxPowerResourceBlocker,
|
|
wxSecretStore.
|
|
- And methods: wxDataViewToggleRenderer::ShowAsRadio(), wxDateTime::
|
|
GetWeekBasedYear(), wxDisplay::GetPPI(), wxGrid::SetCornerLabelValue(),
|
|
wxHtmlEasyPrinting::SetPromptMode(), wxJoystickEvent::GetButtonOrdinal(),
|
|
wxListBox::GetTopItem(), wxProcess::Activate(), wxTextEntry::ForceUpper(),
|
|
several ones in wxRendererNative, wxStandardPaths::GetUserDir(),
|
|
wxToolbook::EnablePage(), wxUIActionSimulator::Select() and many others.
|
|
- Significant improvements to: wxBusyInfo, wxDataViewCtrl,
|
|
wxNotificationMessage, wxStaticBox, wxStyledTextCtrl.
|
|
- Latest versions of all bundled 3rd party libraries, including all the
|
|
security fixed and support for WebKit 2 and GStreamer 1.7 under Unix.
|
|
- Revamped OpenGL support better suited to modern OpenGL (3.2+).
|
|
- Further C++11 support improvements.
|
|
- A lot of bug fixes, especially 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, including in production. 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!
