Supporting XP requires too many hacks, and while it wouldn't be very difficult to support Vista as long as we support Windows 7, it's still not worth it because nobody uses this system anyhow. Remove most of XP-specific code and don't use wxDynamicLibrary for using the functions not present in it any longer. Don't use <wspiapi.h> neither as we shouldn't use it any more. Update some comments to not mention Windows versions not supported any longer and also remove mentions of "Vista and newer Windows versions" from the documentation as this is now always the case. This commit is best viewed ignoring whitespace-only changes.

wxWidgets 3.3.0 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/3.3.0/
|
|
|
|
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/v3.3.0/
|
|
|
|
Please see https://docs.wxwidgets.org/3.3.0/overview_install.html for full
|
|
installation instructions.

Changes since 3.2
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
- TODO
|
|
|
|
Note that in spite of all these changes, wxWidgets 3.3 is almost fully
|
|
compatible with wxWidgets 3.2 and updating the existing applications to
|
|
use it shouldn't require much effort.
|
|
|
|
|
|

Licence
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
For licensing information, please see the files:
|
|
|
|
* 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.
|
|
|
|
If you use wxRegEx class, please see 3rdparty/pcre/LICENCE for PCRE licence
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
If you use wxXML classes or XRC, see src/expat/COPYING for licence details.

the quickest way to fix it. Even if you fail to do it, you may discover
|
|
valuable information allowing us to fix it while doing it. We also give much

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