New Features:

  1. Added regular expression support for find/replace.

Bug fixes:

  1. Corrected installer to handle paths with parentheses (ala x64 machines)
  2. XPM files get generated in a separate folder.
  3. XPM files are named with their parent name prefixed to them (The form related bitmaps contains a "Self_" prefix). This is to make sure a bitmap from one form doesn't overwrite another bitmap from another form with the same name.
  4. wxMediaCtrl Event Generation bugfix.
  5. Moved the OnSelect Events of the ListCtrl and TreeCtrl to the first position to make sure those are events that are created when the user double clicks those controls.
  6. Dynamically turn on and off the captions of the toolbar buttons based on the Toolbar style.
  7. Fixed erratic breakpoint file name during debugging
  8. Added --output-def to DLL makefile command
  9. Fixed the DLL dependencies bug.
  10. Changed dynamic library import library extensions to .lib for Visual C++, .a for MingW
  11. Fix for crash when the Folder of the Class Browser is selected and when a new class form is invoked

Beta 6.10 (2006-10-31)

New Features:

  1. Visual C++ Compiler Support - We officially support the Visual C++ 2003, Visual C++ 2005, and Visual C++ 6 compilers. The installer ships with wxWidgets 2.7.1 pre-built with Visual C++ 2005 (as well as the old MingW build)
  2. Multiple project profile support. Like in Visual Studio, project profiles can be switched "on-the-fly". This allows for one project to be compiled differently (different compiler/different settings etc.) Templates and project .dev files can store most settings.
  3. 14 new wxWidgets components - wxDialUpManager, wxHtmlEasyPrinting, wxMediaCtrl, wxRichTextCtrl, wxSTC, wxCalendarCtrl, wxPasswordEntryDialog, wxTextEntryDialog, wxOwnerDrawnComboBox, wxMultiChoiceDialog, wxSingleChoiceDialog, wxTreeListCtrl, wxMessageDialog and wxHyperLinkCtrl.
  4. Automatic event handler creation on Component Double Click - Double clicking a component triggers the creation of the default event handler for that component.
  5. Migration Wizard - Automatically updates pre-6.10 designer forms to the new format 6.10 uses. 6.10 has removed some old mis-typed property names. Existing projects will be automatically updated to the new format when they are initially loaded. This should also fix situations when the old forms load into wxDev-C++ but shows up as an empty form
  6. New docking windows - Replaced Dev-Cpp's inspector windows with the JEDI JVCL docking manager windows. This makes for better floating and docking plus gives a cleaner look to the property/class/file inspector.
  7. Sof.T's wxDev-C++ Programming Book - Sof.T's created a PDF book for programming with wxDev-C++
  8. Added the Ctrl+Alt+Up/Down shortcut keys for source navigation after a search
  9. Added support for inline assembly highlighting. Both VC and standard C++ syntaxes for assembly code (asm, _asm and __asm) will trigger the assembly code highlighter. Due to flaws within SynEdit only single line assembly code and assembly code blocks with the left curly brace on the same line will be treated as assembly code.

Bug fixes:

  1. Changes to the View Control ID form to easily find the duplicate IDs.
  2. Bug fix for Control combo not getting updated on insert or deletion.
  3. Spaces in file/directory names are now allowed.
  4. Protect classnames from illegal characters and reserved words.
  5. Fixed the Goto function command. On a double-click of a control wxDev-C++ will take the cursor to the assigned function.
  6. Fixed compiler setting not read by the Template
  7. Fixed Delphi's Name is showing up when the select parent is selected on an item whose parent is the base form (Bug #1455738).
  8. Fixed Control list not getting updated properly on insert and delete.
  9. Fixed Delphi 7 support - removed ThemeManager from the DFM and let it be created conditionally using IFDEF.
  10. If XRC is activated, create a blank XRC file on project initialisation
  11. Fixed many bugs with code completion, from function name parsing, to code tooltip appearances, to proper function parameter highlighting
  12. Fix for Bug #1432495 - Crash on Form Close.
  13. Fixed cut/copy/paste from the event property inspector
  14. Fix for wxBitmapButton (Bug #1435728, #1554549)
  15. Bug report #1060562 - corrected text as per Tony's email viz. ('Please select the Toolbar FIRST and then drop this control into the Toolbar.')
  16. Fixed issues when make returns nonzero, we should not run the executable since it is actually an error!
  17. Moved compiler output parsing to Regular Expressions (for Visual C++, anyway)
  18. Fixed splitter error (Bug #1427314)
  19. Fixed crash when changing creation order (Bug #1434228)
  20. Fixed events tab (Bug #1435734
  21. Fixed no exports for DLL (Bug #1436335)
  22. Fixed missing border alignments (Bug #1442891)
  23. Fixed duplicate sizer creation (Bug #1448535)
  24. Fixed crash when changing form options (Bug #1455511)
  25. Fixed wxListBox (Bug #1459358, 1525055)
  26. Fixed menu bar affects height of status bar (Bug #1496564)
  27. Corrected sizers (Bug #1518675)
  28. Fixed staticbox class declaration (Bug #1548846)
  29. Disabled F12 Full-screen mode until bug can be fixed properly

Beta 6.9 (2006-01-30)

Bugfixes 

  1. Del button - (Tony, 18 Jul 2005, bug # 1239335) Delete button wasn't correctly working in code editor if no text was selected.
  2. wxTextCtrl borders - (Tony, 18 Jul 2005, bug # 1240697) The bsNone flag was set and shouldn't have been. Now border shows up around wxTextCtrl. 
  3. %DEV_CPP% macro - (Tony 18 Jul 2005) %DEV_CPP% macro was pointing to the user default directory. Now points to the directory where devcpp.exe resides. This should allow users to change the default user directory. 
  4. Memory leaks - (Tony 20 Jul 2005) I've cleaned up quite a few memory leaks in the existing source (many left behind by my own sloppiness). 
    • TStringList - DesignerFrm.pas, line 376, strLstManualCode was created and then assigned to the result of a function. This led to two memory heap allocations. 
    • TStringList - AutoDestroy in most wx components didn't include a destroy command for the Wx_Comments variable (and occassionally a few others). 
    • Code Completion - The CVS tip in devcpp had a change that looks like it should control the runtime errors when using code completion. These changes were merged with our code. Also, there was an out-of-bounds error in accessing a string in the code completion stuff. Some if-then statements were added to prevent the array index from going out of bounds. We've submitted the fix to the devcpp developers to see if it makes sense. 
  5. Static bitmaps - (Tony and Joel) The transparency was always set to true and the bitmap was being clipped to 180x180 pixels. Not sure why this was done, but I've commented out that code for now to see if it solves some of our bitmap problems. Joel added a few more options to the property editor for this control (added StretchFactor, Vertical/Horizontal Alignment and foreground/background colour properties).
  6. Menu item bug - (Tony, bug #1288121). If you tried to add an item to a menu that only has one root node with a child, then it adds as a child rather than as a root node. This was fixed to add as a sibling.
  7. Panels with sizers - (Joel) Sizers can be added to panels. 
  8. Listbox - (Tony and Joel) Events were switched (http://wxforum.shadonet.com/viewtopic.php?t=4142). Also there was no comments property and an extra '|' in the styles. "wxArrayString NULL" warning was corrected. 
  9. BitmapButtons and Buttons have an "Enabled" attribute (button->Enable(true/false)) (Joel) 
  10. MenuBars - (Joel) will not interpret wxID_* values and it will print as-is 
  11. Annoying "Could not create executable output directory: 'dir'" message has been suppressed (Joel) 
  12. XPM - (Mal/Joel, bug # 1219986) Some generation problems have been fixed. XPM header is now standard according to bug report 
  13. wxStaticLine - (Tony, bug # 1254909) Should now generate correct code for static line size 
  14. Event code - (Mal and Tony, bugs #1297903, 1297816, 1176866). Event code should now be correct for radiobuttons. 
  15. wxToggleButton - (Mal) Corrected SetDefault property with SetValue property http://wxforum.shadonet.com/viewtopic.php?t=4407&highlight=toggle
  16. Class browser - (Guru, bug # 1291332) Fixed the issue with the Class list in the class browser. 
  17. Debugger - (Guru) Gnu debugger (gdb) should now work correctly without crashing. 
  18. Class Creation Wizard - (Guru, bug # 1337392) When a class/component is created/deleted/renamed and when "Save as" is pressed the class list is updated properly. 
  19. Checked/Radio Menu Items - (Guru, bug #1392722) Checked and Unchecked code for the Radio and Check Menu are generated now  
  20. wxNO_BORDER - (Guru, bug #1183990) Added the wxNO_BORDER property  
  21. On Create Drop Down - (Guru, bug# 1123460) On Create Drop Down choices not current 
  22. wxSaveFialogDialog - (Guru, bug# 1246820) wxSaveFileDialog code is missing wxT on wildcard parameter 

New features:

  1. NinjaNL has added wxChoice and wxToggleButton to the project. In addition to the latest devcpp.exe, you'll also need the devcpp.pallete file to add the new components to your controls panel. Both are included in the install package.
  2. Arrow keys (bug #1064715) will now move components around on the design form. Press Ctrl and the appropriate arrow key. 
  3. XRC/XML export - A XRC/XML file is generated on-the-fly when you edit the design form. Functionality is pretty basic right now because the XRC docs seem to be a work in progress as well (some info on how to define particular fields are missing). To turn this option on/off: right click on the designer form and chose "View Designer Options". Then, click the tab labeled "Code Generation Options". Check the box marked "Generate XRC code".
  4. String internationalization- (Tony) The designer options now have a dropdown box to allow the user to choose whether they want to use wxT(), _(), or _T() for coding strings. To change, right click on the designer form and chose "View Designer Options". Then, click the tab labeled "Code Generation Options". Select the desired format in the dropdown box labeled "Internationalization".
  5. wxRadioBox - Implemented by Mal (Oct 2005) 
  6. wxDatePickerCtrl - Date picker control widget added (Guru, 31 Dec 2005) 
  7. Speed improvements- (Guru, bug #1156989) Sped up the updating for the Properties list and Editor Source when there are changes to component on the form designer.

Beta 6.8 (2005-07-15)

New Features:

  1. wxValidator - A property has been added for wxValidator code. We're eventually planning to make this fancier with a dialog box and such, but at present it's just a simple text box.
  2. Property editor Cut/Copy/Paste/Delete - You can now cut/copy/paste/and delete property items to the windows clipboard.
  3. & Code - Sort of an exotic feature - For text/string property fields (e.g. Name, HelpText, Label, etc.), if you add && to the front of the text, the code generator will pass that text verbatim. For example, hello would be passed as wxT("hello") to the C++ code, but: &&hello would be passed as hello. This might be useful if the user wants to pass a function, variable name, or code snippet to the property and have it saved in the dialog form.
  4. Comments - There's now a property field for adding comments to the components. The comments will be added just before the C++ code for each component.
  5. wxMemo LoadFile - There's a load file property for wxMemo. When the box is selected, an OpenFile dialog box pops up. Select the file and the appropriate wxMemo->LoadFile("filename") C++ code is generated.
  6. %DEVCPP_DIR% - If you add this macro to a template, it will get replaced with the devcpp installation directory. Mal uses this in his wxWidgets example projects devpak. There's supposed to be a similar macro in regular devcpp, but it doesn't seem to work with template files.
  7. Menu order - A simple drag and drop can be used to change the order of the menu and submenus.
    • If the user holds down SHIFT with the drag and drop, the item will be added as a child.
    • If the user doesn't hold SHIFT during the drag and drop, the item will be added as a sibling.

Bug fixes:

  1. Component orientation - Components should change from vertical to horizontal orientation correctly now.
  2. Consistent use of wxT. All text fields are now passed as wxT("") for consistency.
  3. Component constructors - Properties for all components should be correct now. Mal made an extensive list of where we had inappropriate, incorrect, or incomplete properties (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1189349&group_id=95606&atid=611982)
  4. THIS_DIALOG_STYLE - It was noted that the constant THIS_DIALOG_STYLE is defined for every new window (wxFrame or wxDialog). This is now fixed by making the constant name vary according to the window name. https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1167548&group_id=95606&atid=611982
  5. Menu insert - Menu add/insert now places the new item after the currently selected item.

  9. Ability to specify wx's standard ID for the Controls.(Guru)
  10. Fix for running wx-devcpp in multiple instances.(Guru)
  11. Fixed a nasty bug where the form keeps growing big when a Window control is dropped into a Sizer.(Guru)
  12. Options to manipulate the Designer Form Options (like snap to grid, grid size etc).(Guru)
  13. Designer Components Alignment Options (To Grid, Vertical, Horizontal etc) (Tony).
  14. Small mods in Mal's tutorial help file (Tony & Malcolm Nealon )
  15. Dev-cpp project files for all the wx sample files (Malcolm Nealon)
  16. Updated CVS source usage for collaboration. (Tony & Marek).
  17. GNU Debugger (gdb) has been upgraded to version 6.3. (Tony)

 

N.B. 1: Although the old #define declarations are maintained for backward compatability, all users are strongly advised to convert their code to the new enum based control ID declaration. To convert the old #define based control ids to new enum based identifiers, you need to follow the steps outlined in http://www.solidsteel.nl/users/wxwidgets/viewtopic.php?t=1597

  5. Added the ability to list all components in the Design control pallete.(Thanks to Martin Kanich for this idea)
  6. Added the ability to change the Creation order of the widgets. Currently you have to right click on the container components to change them (just like Delphi :o) ). Treeview of the designer components will be available later.
  7. Created a new wxWidgets dialog application template.(Goto New->Projects and don’t forget to save all the files before trying to do any serious work)
  8. Add Support for Absolute co-ordinate and sizer based form designer in a single IDE.
  9. Support for Save and Open forms like Delphi/BCB. If you open or save a Form file, corresponding Cpp/H files will be opened/saved automatically.

Known bugs

  1. Sizer layout is screwed up with custom sized StaticBitmap component.
  2. Shortcut keys dont work for Form Designer components.
  3. Using a invalid variable name for the form tends to crash the application.
  4. Changing the Form Class Name tends to crash the application sometimes and not to update all the ClassName variables in the source properly.
