wxWidgets 3.2.8 Released

Posted on

3.2.8 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.

Changes since 3.2.7

The focus of this release, coming soon after the previous one, is to fix several problems found in 3.2.7:

  • Fix crash in wxPropertyGrid with wxGTK3 after recent change (#25286).
  • Fix padding of wxMenu in high DPI under Windows 11 (#25117).
  • Fix key codes in WXK_NUMPADx events in wxGTK (#25263).
  • Fix ABI breakage for versioned symbols in 3.2.7 (#25327).
  • Fix third party libraries build with Xcode 16.3.
  • Fix using OpenGL and WebView when using CMake install (#25266).

But it still contains a couple of enhancements, including:

  • Add wxVector(std::initializer_list<U> list) constructor (#25290).
  • Add mouse scrolling support to generic wxSpinCtrl (#24935).
  • Add @USER@ macro to HTML and RichText printers (#25318).

Other changes include:

  • Call OnExceptionInMainLoop() in wxGTK if idle event handler throws (#25312).
  • Compute wxStaticText best size ourselves if GTK does it wrongly (#24781).
  • Fix page count display in wxHtmlPrintout when there is only one page ([#25320]).
  • Miscellaneous CMake build improvements (#25324).
  • Fix new warnings with gcc 15 (#25338).
  • Update Brazilian Portuguese translations.

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.
