Changes since 3.1.5
Changes since 3.1.6
-------------------
In almost a year since the previous release, there have been more than 1700
commits from 82 unique contributors (41 with multiple contributions), so it is
impossible to summarize all the changes in this document without making it too
long, please see the fuller changelog at
This release, coming only two months after the previous one, mostly
contains bug fixes and incremental improvements in preparation for 3.2.0
major release. There is still quite a number of them, with more than 500
commits from 37 unique contributors, but the most important changes are:
- CMake build system improvements (better precompiled headers support).
- New wxFileDialog customization API working with IFileDialog in wxMSW.
- Many updated translations and new wxTRANSLATE_IN_CONTEXT().
- Fixes for bad interactions with new macOS 12 features in wxOSX.
- Several previously missing attributes added to multiple XRC handlers.
- Row reordering by dragging and UI enhancements in wxGrid.
- Ability to suppress selected (or all) GTK warning messages in wxGTK.
- And many, many bugs fixes, including for the regressions in 3.1.6.
Please see
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/v3.1.7/docs/changes.txt
for more details, but here are some of the most important changes:
- New wxBitmapBundle class allowing to provide art work for both normal and
high DPI in a simple way.
- New wxUILocale class replacing the old (but still available) wxLocale, but
not suffering from its multiple problems and providing more functionality.
- Support for using native spell-checking in wxTextCtrl.
- Support for undo/redo in wxTextCtrl in wxOSX.
- Better drag-and-drop implementation in wxOSX.
- Fixes for important bugs in wxDataViewCtrl under all platforms.
- Many improvements and bug fixes for Wayland support in wxGTK.
- Support for the latest OS versions (Windows 11, macOS 12) and compilers (MSVS
2022, gcc 12, clang 13).
- Project bug tracker has been moved to GitHub Issues.
for more details.
Notice that in spite of all the changes, this release remains almost completely
compatible with 3.1.5 at the API level, so upgrading to it if you're already
compatible with 3.1.6 at the API level, so upgrading to it if you're already
using wxWidgets 3 should be straightforward.
