wxWidgets 3.1.2 Released
Posted on
wxWidgets 3.1.2 release is now available on GitHub. You will find there archives with the library sources and documentation as well as binaries for the selected Windows compilers such as Microsoft Visual C++, MinGW-TDM and MinGW-w64.
Please notice that while 3.1.2 is officially a “development” version because it is not fully compatible with the “stable” 3.0.x, the list of backwards incompatible changes is very short, so you shouldn’t have any problems updating to this version from 3.0.x in practice, and you’re encouraged to use this release, including in production.
Changes in this release
There have been more than 1200 commits from 75 contributors (41 with multiple contributions) since 3.1.1, which makes it difficult to summarize them in this short post. The primary focus of this release is on bug fixes (closing more than 100 bugs from wxTrac) and incremental improvements in preparation for the next stable 3.2.0 release, however there is a usual lot of new features as well, including:
- Initial support for macOS 10.14 and its dark mode.
- Support for non-integer font sizes and arbitrary font weights.
- New wxLZMA{Input,Output}Stream classes.
- Add wxDataViewToggleRenderer::ShowAsRadio(), wxDisplay::GetPPI(), wxGrid::SetCornerLabelValue(), wxHtmlEasyPrinting::SetPromptMode(), wxJoystickEvent::GetButtonOrdinal(), wxToolbook::EnablePage().
Some of the other improvements:
- There were again many improvements to the (still experimental) wxQt port.
- Fix several bugs related to focus handling and TAB navigation in wxGTK.
- Make it possible to control pagination in wxHTML more precisely.
- Fix several problems with high-DPI displays.
- wxOSX now uses native NSImage/UIImage representation for wxBitmap.
