Adding for completeness...

The main changes since 2.7.1 are listed below; also, Core Graphics support for wxMac has been radically improved.

We would be grateful for testing as we work towards a 2.8.0 candidate release on 13th November.

Thanks,
The wxWidgets Team

2.7.2
-----

All:

- Added wxFFile overload to wxFileName::CreateTemporaryFileName().
- Added wxBackingFile and wxBackedInputStream.
- Added GetTempDir() to wxFileName and wxStandardPaths.
- Added wxTar streams.
- Added wxFilterFSHandler and wxArchiveFSHandler.
- Added wxString::ToLongLong() and ToULongLong()

All (GUI):

- wxMemoryDC constructor now optionally accepts a wxBitmap parameter, calling SelectObject itself if a valid bitmap is passed.
- Reverted wxBuffered[Paint]DC to pre 2.7.1 state, added wxAutoBufferedPaintDC and wxAutoBufferedPaintDCFactory.
- Renamed wxProgressDialog::UpdatePulse() to just Pulse().
- Added wxCollapsiblePane (Francesco Montorsi).
- Added wxSimpleHtmlListBox (Francesco Montorsi).
- Printing framework fixes by Robert J. Lang. Bugs fixed, wxPrinterDC::GetPaperRect() and other functions added to allow easier printing implementation, and the documentation updated.
- Many enhancements to wxRichTextCtrl including URL support, formatting and symbol dialogs, print/preview, and better list formatting.
- Support for loading TGA files added (Seth Jackson)
- Added wxTB_RIGHT style for right-aligned toolbars (Igor Korot)
- wxHtmlWindow now generates events on link clicks (Francesco Montorsi).
- wxHtmlWindow now also generates wxEVT_COMMAND_TEXT_COPY event

Unix Ports:

- Added autopackage for wxGTK and an example of using autopackage for a wx program (Francesco Montorsi).

wxGTK:

- More RTL work.
- Support wxALWAYS_SHOW_SB.
- Speed up MIME types loading. Only the GNOME database should be loaded under GNOME etc. For this, the code queries the X11 session protocol.
- wxCaret redraw problem during scrolling fixed.

Hello,

Just to let you know I fail to compile wxWidgets with OpenWatcom 1.5 :(

Code: Select all

I assume this a problem with OpenWatcom 1.5 STL support, which I know to be poor... :?

For you information, I did not encounter such problems with wxWidgets 2.7.1 and same version of Open Watcom.

EDIT : Maybe this should have been posted in the "Compiler / Linking / IDE Related" :oops:
Please feel free to move my post to the relevant section ;)
