Announcing wxWidgets 3.2.8 release

[Vadim Zeitlin]

April 24, 2025 -- The wxWidgets team is pleased to announce a new
stable release of our open source framework for the development of native
cross-platform applications in C++.

wxWidgets 3.2.8 is part of the API and ABI-stable 3.2.x release series and is
now available from

https://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads/

and

https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/releases/v3.2.8


This is mostly a bug fix release correcting several problems found in the
previous 3.2.7 release:

- 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) ctor (#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, meaning that
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.

We hope that you will enjoy using the new release!
