Announcing wxWidgets 3.2.9 release

[Vadim Zeitlin]

December 12, 2015 -- 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 3.2.9 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/v3.2.9


This release doesn't add any major new features, but contains some important
fixes for bugs found in the previous 3.2.8 release:

- Fix crash when using Farsi as system language under macOS (#25561).
- Fix handling total window size with GNOME with X11 (#25348).
- Fix memory leak when using wxOverlay (#24500).
- Fix wxGLCanvas scale when using EGL/Wayland in high DPI (#23733).
- Fix missing wxEVT_CHAR for Ctrl-Letter in non-US layouts (#25384).
- Fix selecting columns in wxGrid with mouse (#25884).

The new release still contains a couple of enhancements, including:

- Many improvements to CMake build system (#25448, #25749, #25998).
- Support for building under macOS 26 Tahoe (#25798).
- Fix wxStyledTextCtrl support in screen readers (#25963).
- Respect HTML5 charset attribute in wxHTML (#25546).
- Add support for using EGL 1.4 (and not 1.5) in wxGLCanvas (#22325).

Other changes include:

- Fix memory leak in wxColour::Set() under macOS (#25569).
- Fix memory leak when using wxOverlay in wxGTK (#24500).
- Reduce wxStaticBitmap GDI resource usage in wxMSW (#25698).
- Significantly improve performance of drawing bitmaps in wxAUI (#23841).

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!
