wxWidgets 3.2.7 Released

Posted on March 19, 2025

3.2.7 is the latest maintenance release in the stable 3.2 series and is now available on GitHub, from where 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. 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.

This release contains more than a hundred bug fixes and improvements. Some of the most important fixes are:

• Build fixes for gcc 14 (#24248, #24869) and clang 19 (#24922, #24959, #25064).
• Fix build with macOS 15 SDK (#24724, #24879).

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.
