wxWidgets 3.3.1 Release Notes
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
Welcome to the latest release of wxWidgets, a free and open source
|
|
cross-platform C++ framework for writing advanced GUI applications using
|
|
native controls.
|
|
|
|
wxWidgets allows you to write native-looking GUI applications for all the major
|
|
desktop platforms and also helps with abstracting the differences in the non-GUI
|
|
aspects between them. It is free for the use in both open source and commercial
|
|
applications, comes with the full, easy to read and modify, source and extensive
|
|
documentation and a collection of more than a hundred examples. You can learn
|
|
more about wxWidgets at:
|
|
|
|
* https://www.wxwidgets.org/
|
|
|
|
Documentation is available online at:
|
|
|
|
* https://docs.wxwidgets.org/3.3.1/
|
|
|
|
wxWidgets sources and binaries for the selected platforms are available for
|
|
download from:
|
|
|
|
* https://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads/
|
|
|
|
or, for a more more permanent but less convenient to use link, from
|
|
|
|
* https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/releases/tag/v3.3.1/
|
|
|
|
Please see https://docs.wxwidgets.org/3.3.1/overview_install.html for full
|
|
installation instructions.

Please see the change log for the more complete list:

|
|
|
|
Note that in spite of all these changes, wxWidgets 3.3.1 is almost fully
|
|
compatible with wxWidgets 3.2 and updating the existing applications to
|
|
use it shouldn't require much effort. However please make sure to read the
|
|
"INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES" section of the change log above when upgrading to be
|
|
aware of the breaking changes in it.

Licence
|
|
-------
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
* docs/preamble.txt
|
|
* docs/licence.txt

|
|
Although this may seem complex, it is there to allow authors of proprietary,
|
|
commercial applications to use wxWidgets in addition to those writing GPL'ed
|
|
applications. In summary, the licence is LGPL plus a clause allowing
|
|
unrestricted distribution of application binaries. To answer a FAQ, you don't
|
|
have to distribute any source if you wish to write commercial applications using
|
|
wxWidgets.
|
|
|
|
However, if you distribute wxGTK or wxQt version of your
|
|
application, don't forget that it is linked against GTK or Qt, which
|
|
are covered by LGPL *without* exception notice and so is bound by its
|
|
requirements.

|
|
|
If you use TIFF image handler, please see src/tiff/COPYRIGHT for libtiff licence
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
If you use JPEG image handler, documentation for your program should contain
|
|
following sentence: "This software is based in part on the work of the
|
|
Independent JPEG Group". See src/jpeg/README for details.
|

higher priority to bug reports with patches fixing the problems so this ensures
