This page represents current thinking about where wxWindows is going in the near,
|
|
|
|
|
medium and long-term. It also serves as a schedule for new releases so
|
|
|
|
|
that both developers and users can know what to expect when, at least approximately.<P>
|
|
|
|
|
|
1999-10-31 12:48:23 +00:00
|
|
|
We are adopting the Linux kernel style of numbering system where odd minor version numbers are development
|
|
|
|
|
versions, and even numbers are stable versions. For example, 2.1.x are development releases,
|
|
|
|
|
and the next 'stable' or final release of it would be 2.2.<P>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bug-fix patches to the stable release (if made) then become point
|
|
|
|
|
releases of 2.2 (2.2.x) while development continues with wild abandon
|
|
|
|
|
on 2.3.x until the end of the next development cycle when it is
|
|
|
|
|
released as 2.4.<P>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Development versions that end up on the FTP site or CD-ROM, as opposed to remaining
|
|
|
|
|
in the CVS archive, are semi-stable -- i.e. they are checked for compilation and
|
|
|
|
|
run-time problems, but not as thoroughly as the stable versions.<P>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that since the wxWindows effort is voluntary, these are not hard-and-fast deadlines:
|
1999-10-02 14:15:58 +00:00
|
|
|
but we will endeavour to follow them as closely as possible.<P>
|
|
|
|
|
|
1999-10-31 12:48:23 +00:00
|
|
|
Note also that the releases described are for wxGTK, wxMSW and wxMotif ports. wxMac currently follows
|
1999-10-04 12:31:15 +00:00
|
|
|
its own development path but is due to merge with the main code base in November/December.
|
|
|
|
|
Also, minor snapshot releases for specific platforms may be
|
2002-03-25 16:52:29 +00:00
|
|
|
available at dates convenient to the developers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Finally, this page only shows the things which are still left to do, please
|
|
|
|
|
look elsewhere to see the complete list of changes between the releases,
|
|
|
|
|
including the things which are already done.

This release should finally mark the end of support for the antiquated
|
|
|
|
|
compilers without decent support of the modern C++ features such as templates,
|
|
|
|
|
exceptions and namespaces. wxWindows containers should be replaced with the
|
|
|
|
|
corresponding standard library classes and <tt>std::basic_string<></tt>
|
|
|
|
|
should be used instead of <tt>wxString</tt>.

This is just a collection of the various things which it would be nice to
|
|
|
|
|
include in wxWindows but which are not actively worked on right now and for
|
|
|
|
|
which no schedule is fixed yet. If you're interested in helping with wxWindows
|
|
|
|
|
development, one of the small projects below could be a great way to join the
|
|
|
|
|
team!
