[wx-users] wxWindows 2.2.1 released

[Julian Smart]

Announcing wxWindows 2.2.1, August 22nd, 2000
http://www.wxwindows.org
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

wxWindows is a free, powerful, multi-platform C++ GUI framework
that can be used to build commercial and free software. It's used
by many organisations all over the world, including the company that
invented the GUI.

wxWindows compiles on Unix (using the GTK+ or Motif widget sets),
Windows, and Mac, using the native look and feel of each platform.
It supports almost all popular compilers on MS Windows, Unix, and
Mac platforms. Hundreds of classes provide support for GUI
and other application functionality.

Many companies are using wxWindows to help them migrate from
MS Windows (WIN32 or MFC) to Linux.

wxWindows features include HTML viewing and printing classes,
wxImage supporting JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF and other formats,
sizers for dynamic window layout, document/view classes,
communication classes, drag and drop classes, common dialogs,
splitter windows, OpenGL support, online help support, a dialog
editor, debugging support, ODBC classes, multithreading classes,
collection and container classes, a searchable reference manual,
60+ samples, and much more.

2.2.1 is a stable release for GTK+, Motif and MS Windows.

this project, please visit:

language and the wxWindows framework, can be found at:

Just to be sure: Is it true that all 2.2.x
releases do not change the API?

That's right, or at least very little and always in a binary compatible way
(possibly with wxDb being an exception, I can't remember how that was
resolved now...)

I'm not sure what Robert decided either. I saw no feedback saying yes or no to
his question.

As for the changes in the ODBC classes, if Robert did not back out any of the
changes, binary compatabilty was broken in just the ODBC classes, but where as
it is a seperate module not compiled in by default, it will not affect anyone
who does not turn it on in setup.h.

Code was added to the default constructors/destructors for 3 helper classes
internally:
wxDbColInf();
~wxDbColInf();
wxDbTableInf();
~wxDbTableInf();
wxDbInf();
~wxDbInf();

But there were not changes to numbers/types of parameters on any of the ODBC
APIs.
