October 7, 2013 -- The wxWidgets team is pleased to announce the
|
|
first release candidate release of wxWidgets 3.0.
|
|
|
|
wxWidgets 3.0-RC1 is available at
|
|
|
|
https://sourceforge.net/downloads/wxwindows/3.0.0-rc1/
|
|
|
|
and at our FTP mirror at
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.wxwidgets.org/pub/3.0.0-rc1/
|
|
|
|
Please choose the archive format suitable for your platform, i.e. 7z
|
|
or ZIP for Windows platforms and tar.bz2 for the Unix systems
|
|
including OS X (all archives contain sources for all wxWidgets ports
|
|
but they use different line endings) and follow the instructions in
|
|
readme.txt file for installing it. Notice that if you decide to use
|
|
the Windows installer (.exe file) you still need to build wxWidgets
|
|
as only sources, not binaries, are installed.
|
|
|
|
We also provide the pre-built versions of wxMSW libraries for the
|
|
selected compilers at
|
|
|
|
https://sourceforge.net/downloads/wxwindows/3.0.0/binaries/
|
|
|
|
Notice that 3.0-RC1 does NOT include the binaries, they will be only
|
|
available for the final 3.0 release.
|
|
|
|
Please see the README file there for the descriptions of the
|
|
individual files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This release is a culmination of several years of development since
|
|
the last stable 2.8 release. There are too many changes to be listed
|
|
here, but the most important ones are:
|
|
|
|
- Completely overhauled Unicode support which is much easier to use.
|
|
- New Cocoa-based wxOSX port for Mac OS X for both 32 and 64 bits.
|
|
- New wxGTK3 port, including support for Broadway (HTML5) backend.
|
|
- Access to the native web rendering engine with wxWebView.
|
|
- New property grid and ribbon libraries are now included in wxWidgets.
|
|
- Better interoperability with standard library classes.
|
|
- Totally revised and more readable manual.
|
|
- Improved debugging support.
|
|
|
|
Please see the changes.txt file in the "docs" subdirectory of
|
|
wxWidgets distribution or also available online at
|
|
https://sourceforge.net/projects/wxwindows/files/3.0.0-rc1/changes.txt
|
|
for more details and please read the "INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES" section
|
|
in its beginning for a brief description of changes if you are
|
|
upgrading from wxWidgets 2.8. For more details, please see
|
|
http://docs.wxwidgets.org/3.0.0/overview_changes_since28.html
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please test this release candidate version to help us with making the
|
|
final 3.0 release as problem-free as possible. We are especially
|
|
looking forward to your feedback about the changes in this release
|
|
compared to 2.8 version if you're upgrading. Please let us know about
|
|
any regressions (http://trac.wxwidgets.org/newticket) so that we could
|
|
fix them in the upcoming 3.0.
|
|
|
|
Thanks in advance!
