wxWidgets 3.2.5 Released

Posted on May 13, 2024

The latest release in stable 3.2 series is now available on GitHub and you can download archives with the library sources and documentation as well as binaries for the selected Windows compilers such as Microsoft Visual C++, MinGW-w64 and TDM-GCC from there. You can also read the updated documentation for this version online and, in particular, if you’re new to wxWidgets, you may find the installation guide a good starting point.

Changes since 3.2.4

This release contains more than a hundred fixes and improvements for all platforms. Some of the most important ones are:

• Support macOS 14 Sonoma (#23916, #24054, #24067, #24073, #24515) and fix installation on some Apple Silicon Macs (#23143).
• Wayland-related fixes in wxGTK: clipboard (#24391), OpenGL (#24076, #24395) and other (#24021, #24050, #24051).
• Fix crash when using wxApp in console wxGTK programs (#24081).
• Support for dates after 2038 in wxDateTime (#24464).

Other changes include:

• Fix support for using Chinese (zh-Hans-CN) locale under macOS (#24396).
• Fix alpha channel in bitmaps loaded from SVG in wxGTK (#24064).
• wxGenericListCtrl improvements (#24292, #24293, #24311, #24312, #24332).
• wxGrid improvements (#24247, #24286).
• More high DPI fixes in wxMSW (#24283, #24196, #24456).
• Avoid new gcc 14 warnings in the headers (#24502).

Please see the full change log for more details.

This release is API and ABI-compatible with the previous 3.2.x releases, so the existing applications don’t even need to be rebuilt to profit from all the fixes above if they use shared/dynamic libraries. And if they do need to be recompiled, this can be done without any changes to the code.
