wxWidgets 2.8.12
Welcome to wxWidgets, a sophisticated cross-platform C++
framework for writing advanced GUI applications using
native controls where possible.
In addition to common and advanced GUI facilities such as
frames, scrolling windows, toolbars, tree controls, icons,
device contexts, printing, splitter windows and so on, there are
wrappers for common file operations, and facilities for writing
TCP/IP applications, thread handling, and more. Where certain
features are not available on a platform, such as MDI and tree
controls on Unix, they are emulated.
A detailed 2000-page reference manual is supplied in HTML, PDF
and Windows Help form: see the docs hierarchy.
For a quick start, point your Web browser at docs/html/index.htm
for a list of important documents and samples.
Changes in this release
Please see changes.txt and "Changes since 2.6" in the manual
for details.
Platforms supported
wxWidgets currently supports the following platforms:
- Windows 95/98/ME, NT, 2000, XP, Vista, 7, Pocket PC/Mobile, Smartphone
- Most Unix variants with GTK+ 1 and GTK+ 2
- Most Unix variants with X11 (beta)
- Most Unix variants with Motif/Lesstif
- MacOS 9.x and 10.x using Carbon (10.3 and above preferred)
- MacOS 10.x using Cocoa (beta)
- OS/2 (beta)
Most popular C++ compilers are supported; see the install.txt
file for each platform (available via docs/html/index.htm) for details.
See also http://www.wxwidgets.org/platform.htm.
Note that 2.6 series were the last to fully support GTK+ 1.2, and Mac OS
9/Mac OS 10.2 and below. wxWidgets 2.7 and above focuses on GTK+ 2 and Mac OS
10.3 and above and compatibility with earlier systems is not guaranteed any
more.
Files
The distribution is available in archive formats appropriate to the
target system. See the download pages for details.
Installation
wxWidgets needs to be compiled before you can test out the samples
or write your own applications. For installation information, please
see the install.txt file in the individual directories:
docs/msw
docs/gtk
docs/motif
docs/mac
docs/cocoa
docs/x11
docs/mgl
docs/os2
docs/palmos
Licence information
For licensing information, please see the files:
docs/preamble.txt
docs/licence.txt
docs/licendoc.txt
docs/gpl.txt
docs/lgpl.txt
Although this may seem complex, it is there to allow authors of
proprietary/commercial applications to use wxWidgets in addition
to those writing GPL'ed applications. In summary, the licence is
LGPL plus a clause allowing unrestricted distribution of
application binaries. To answer a FAQ, you don't have to
distribute any source if you wish to write commercial
applications using wxWidgets.
However, if you distribute wxGTK or wxMotif (with Lesstif)
version of your application, don't forget that it is linked
against GTK+ (or Lesstif) which is covered by LGPL without
exception notice. Under Linux systems your app is probably linked
against LGPL glibc as well. Please read carefully LGPL, section
6. which describes conditions for distribution of closed source
applications linked against LGPL library. Basically you should
link dynamically and include source code of LGPL libraries with
your product (unless it is already present in user's system -
like glibc usually is). If compiled with --enable-odbc (Unix
only), wxWidgets library will contain iODBC library which is
covered by LGPL.
If you use TIFF image handler, please see src/tiff/COPYRIGHT
for libtiff licence details.
If you use JPEG image handler, documentation for your program
should contain following sentence: "This software is based in
part on the work of the Independent JPEG Group". See
src/jpeg/README for details.
If you use wxRegEx class on a system without native regular
expressions support (i.e. MS Windows), see src/regex/COPYRIGHT
file for Henry Spencer's regular expression library copyright.
If you use wxXML classes or XRC, see src/expat/COPYING for licence details.
Documentation
See docs/html/index.htm for an HTML index of the major documents.
See docs/changes.txt for a summary of changes to wxWidgets.
See docs/tech for an archive of technical notes.
The wxWidgets bug tracker can be browsed at:
http://trac.wxwidgets.org/report
Please use the search function of our Trac installation to find
any possibly relevant bugs before reporting new ones. Also please
notice that often trying to correct the bug yourself is the
quickest way to fix it. Even if you fail to do it, you may
discover valuable information allowing us to fix it while doing
it. We also give much higher priority to bug reports with patches
fixing the problems so this ensures that your report will be
addressed sooner.

wxWidgets 2.7.2
Welcome to wxWidgets, a sophisticated cross-platform C++
framework for writing advanced GUI applications using
native controls where possible.
In addition to common and advanced GUI facilities such as
frames, scrolling windows, toolbars, tree controls, icons,
device contexts, printing, splitter windows and so on, there are
wrappers for common file operations, and facilities for writing
TCP/IP applications, thread handling, and more. Where certain
features are not available on a platform, such as MDI and tree
controls on Unix, they are emulated.
A detailed 2000-page reference manual is supplied in HTML, PDF
and Windows Help form: see the docs hierarchy.
For a quick start, point your Web browser at docs/html/index.htm
for a list of important documents and samples.
Releases in the 2.7 series are considered development releases,
and as such, each new release may contain significant new
features or code changes which have not yet received thorough
testing and/or may break ABI or API compatibility with previous
releases. Therefore, we recommend that you keep this in mind if
you are to base your software on a 2.7 release, and thoroughly
test the parts of the wx library your application uses. Rest
assured however that these potentially incompatible changes are
made in order to evolve the toolkit to the next ABI stable
release series (2.8.x) and that normally efforts are made to
preserve compilation compatibility, so often moving to a new
development release just requires a full recompile of the
application using wxWidgets.
Changes in this release
Please see changes.txt and "Changes since 2.6" in the manual
for details.
Platforms supported
wxWidgets currently supports the following platforms:
- Windows 95/98/ME, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP,
Pocket PC, Smartphone - Most Unix variants with GTK+ 1 and GTK+ 2
- Most Unix variants with X11 (beta)
- Most Unix variants with Motif/Lesstif
- MacOS 9.x and 10.x using Carbon (10.3 and above preferred)
- MacOS 10.x using Cocoa (beta)
- OS/2 (beta)
- PalmOS (alpha)
Most popular C++ compilers are supported; see the install.txt
file for each platform (available via docs/html/index.htm) for details.
See also http://www.wxwidgets.org/platform.htm.
Note that 2.6 series were the last to fully support GTK+ 1.2, and Mac OS
9/Mac OS 10.2 and below. wxWidgets 2.7 and above focuses on GTK+ 2 and Mac OS
10.3 and above and compatibility with earlier systems is not guaranteed any
more.
Files
The distribution is available in archive formats appropriate to the

wxWidgets 2.7.0
Welcome to wxWidgets, a sophisticated cross-platform C++
framework for writing advanced GUI applications using
native controls where possible.
In addition to common and advanced GUI facilities such as
frames, scrolling windows, toolbars, tree controls, icons,
device contexts, printing, splitter windows and so on, there are
wrappers for common file operations, and facilities for writing
TCP/IP applications, thread handling, and more. Where certain
features are not available on a platform, such as MDI and tree
controls on Unix, they are emulated.
A detailed 2000-page reference manual is supplied in HTML, PDF
and Windows Help form: see the docs hierarchy.
For a quick start, point your Web browser at docs/html/index.htm
for a list of important documents and samples.
Releases in the 2.7 series are considered development releases,
and as such, each new release may contain significant new
features or code changes which have not yet received thorough
testing and/or may break ABI or API compatibility with previous
releases. Therefore, we recommend that you keep this in mind if
you are to base your software on a 2.7 release, and thoroughly
test the parts of the wx library your application uses. Rest
assured however that these potentially incompatible changes are
made in order to evolve the toolkit to the next ABI stable
release series (2.8.x) and that normally efforts are made to
preserve compilation compatibility, so often moving to a new
development release just requires a full recompile of the
application using wxWidgets.
Changes in this release
Please see changes.txt and "Changes since 2.6" in the manual
for details.
Platforms supported
wxWidgets currently supports the following platforms:
- Windows 95/98/ME, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP,
Pocket PC, Smartphone - Most Unix variants with GTK+ 1 and GTK+ 2
- Most Unix variants with X11 (beta)
- Most Unix variants with Motif/Lesstif
- MacOS 9.x and 10.x using Carbon (10.3 and above preferred)
- MacOS 10.x using Cocoa (beta)
- OS/2 (beta)
- PalmOS (alpha)
Most popular C++ compilers are supported; see the install.txt
file for each platform (available via docs/html/index.htm) for details.
See also http://www.wxwidgets.org/platform.htm.
Note that 2.6 series were the last to fully support GTK+ 1.2, and Mac OS
9/Mac OS 10.2 and below. wxWidgets 2.7 and above focuses on GTK+ 2 and Mac OS
10.3 and above and compatibility with earlier systems is not guaranteed any
more.
Files
The distribution is available in archive formats appropriate to the
target system. See the download pages for details.
Installation
wxWidgets needs to be compiled before you can test out the samples
or write your own applications. For installation information, please
see the install.txt file in the individual directories:
docs/msw
docs/gtk
docs/motif
docs/mac
docs/cocoa
docs/x11
docs/mgl
docs/os2
docs/palmos
Licence information
For licensing information, please see the files:
docs/preamble.txt
docs/licence.txt
docs/licendoc.txt
docs/gpl.txt
docs/lgpl.txt
Although this may seem complex, it is there to allow authors of
proprietary/commercial applications to use wxWidgets in addition
to those writing GPL'ed applications. In summary, the licence is
LGPL plus a clause allowing unrestricted distribution of
application binaries. To answer a FAQ, you don't have to
distribute any source if you wish to write commercial
applications using wxWidgets.
However, if you distribute wxGTK or wxMotif (with Lesstif)
version of your application, don't forget that it is linked
against GTK+ (or Lesstif) which is covered by LGPL without
exception notice. Under Linux systems your app is probably linked
against LGPL glibc as well. Please read carefully LGPL, section
6. which describes conditions for distribution of closed source
applications linked against LGPL library. Basically you should
link dynamically and include source code of LGPL libraries with
your product (unless it is already present in user's system -
like glibc usually is). If compiled with --enable-odbc (Unix
only), wxWidgets library will contain iODBC library which is
covered by LGPL.
If you use TIFF image handler, please see src/tiff/COPYRIGHT
for libtiff licence details.
If you use JPEG image handler, documentation for your program
should contain following sentence: "This software is based in
part on the work of the Independent JPEG Group". See
src/jpeg/README for details.
If you use wxRegEx class on a system without native regular
expressions support (i.e. MS Windows), see src/regex/COPYRIGHT
file for Henry Spencer's regular expression library copyright.
If you use wxXML classes or XRC, see src/expat/COPYING for licence details.

wxWidgets 2.6.0
Welcome to wxWidgets, a sophisticated cross-platform C++
framework for writing advanced GUI applications using
native controls where possible.
In addition to common and advanced GUI facilities such as
frames, scrolling windows, toolbars, tree controls, icons,
device contexts, printing, splitter windows and so on, there are
wrappers for common file operations, and facilities for writing
TCP/IP applications, thread handling, and more. Where certain
features are not available on a platform, such as MDI and tree
controls on Unix, they are emulated.
A detailed 2000-page reference manual is supplied in HTML, PDF
and Windows Help form: see the docs hierarchy.
For a quick start, point your Web browser at docs/html/index.htm
for a list of important documents and samples.
Changes in this release
Please see changes.txt and "Changes since 2.4" in the manual
for details.
Platforms supported
wxWidgets currently supports the following platforms:
- Windows 95/98/ME, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP,
Pocket PC, Smartphone - Most Unix variants with GTK+ 1 and GTK+ 2
- Most Unix variants with X11 (beta)
- Most Unix variants with Motif/Lesstif
- MacOS 9.x and 10.x using Carbon (10.3 and above preferred)
- MacOS 10.x using Cocoa (beta)
- OS/2 (beta)
- PalmOS (alpha)
Most popular C++ compilers are supported; see the install.txt
file for each platform (available via docs/html/index.htm) for details.
See also http://www.wxwidgets.org/platform.htm.
The 2.6 series is the last to fully support GTK+ 1.2, and Mac OS
9/Mac OS 10.2 and below. wxWidgets 2.7 and above will focus on
GTK+ 2, and Mac OS 10.3 and above.
Files
The distribution is available in archive formats appropriate to the
target system. See the download pages for details.
Installation
wxWidgets needs to be compiled before you can test out the samples
or write your own applications. For installation information, please
see the install.txt file in the individual directories:
docs/msw
docs/gtk
docs/motif
docs/mac
docs/cocoa
docs/x11
docs/mgl
docs/os2
docs/palmos
Licence information
For licensing information, please see the files:
docs/preamble.txt
docs/licence.txt
docs/licendoc.txt
docs/gpl.txt
docs/lgpl.txt
Although this may seem complex, it is there to allow authors of
proprietary/commercial applications to use wxWidgets in addition
to those writing GPL'ed applications. In summary, the licence is
LGPL plus a clause allowing unrestricted distribution of
application binaries. To answer a FAQ, you don't have to
distribute any source if you wish to write commercial
applications using wxWidgets.
However, if you distribute wxGTK or wxMotif (with Lesstif)
version of your application, don't forget that it is linked
against GTK+ (or Lesstif) which is covered by LGPL without
exception notice. Under Linux systems your app is probably linked
against LGPL glibc as well. Please read carefully LGPL, section
6. which describes conditions for distribution of closed source
applications linked against LGPL library. Basically you should
link dynamically and include source code of LGPL libraries with
your product (unless it is already present in user's system -
like glibc usually is). If compiled with --enable-odbc (Unix
only), wxWidgets library will contain iODBC library which is
covered by LGPL.
If you use TIFF image handler, please see src/tiff/COPYRIGHT
for libtiff licence details.
If you use JPEG image handler, documentation for your program
should contain following sentence: "This software is based in
part on the work of the Independent JPEG Group". See
src/jpeg/README for details.
If you use wxRegEx class on a system without native regular
expressions support (i.e. MS Windows), see src/regex/COPYRIGHT
file for Henry Spencer's regular expression library copyright.
If you use wxXML classes or XRC, see src/expat/COPYING for licence details.

already present in user's system - like glibc usually is).
If compiled with --enable-odbc (Unix only), wxWindows library will
contain iODBC library which is covered by LGPL.
If you use TIFF image handler, please see src/tiff/COPYRIGHT
for libtiff licence details.
If you use JPEG image handler, documentation for your program should
contain following sentence: "This software is based in part on the work of
the Independent JPEG Group". See src/jpeg/README for details.
If you use wxRegEx class on a system without native regular expressions
support (i.e. MS Windows), see src/regex/COPYRIGHT file for Henry Spencer's
regular expression library copyright.
If you use wxXML classes or XRC, see src/expat/COPYING for licence details.

wxWindows 2.5.0
*** Please note that this is an UNSTABLE DEVELOPMENT SNAPSHOT.
*** Unless you need the new features and bug fixes, you may wish to
*** use the official 2.4.x stable series. You are still encouraged
*** to try the releases from 2.5.x branch, of course, and unstable
*** doesn't mean that they crash all the time -- just that the API
*** may change in backwards incompatible way. If this doesn't frighten
*** you, do try this release and please let us know what you think!
Welcome to wxWindows, a sophisticated cross-platform C++
framework for writing advanced GUI applications using (where
possible) the native controls.
In addition to common and advanced GUI facilities such as
frames, scrolling windows, toolbars, tree controls, icons,
device contexts, printing, splitter windows and so on, there are
wrappers for common file operations, and facilities for writing
TCP/IP applications, thread handling, and more. Where certain
features are not available on a platform, such as MDI and tree
controls on Unix, they are emulated.
A detailed 1800-page reference manual is supplied in HTML, PDF
and Windows Help form: see the docs hierarchy.
For a quick start, point your Web browser at docs/html/index.htm
for a list of important documents and samples.
Changes in this release
Please see changes.txt for details.
Platforms supported
wxWindows currently supports the following platforms:
- Windows 95/98/ME, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP
- Most Unix variants with GTK+
- Most Unix variants with X11
- Most Unix variants with Motif/Lesstif
- MacOS 9.x and 10.x
- OS/2 (alpha)
Most popular C++ compilers are supported; see the install.txt
file for each platform (available via docs/html/index.htm) for details.
See also http://www.wxwindows.org/platform.htm.
Files
The distribution is available in archive formats appropriate to the
target system. Documentation is available mainly in zip format.
In the following, x.y.z represents the current version number.
wxWindows for GTK+ distribution
wxGTK-x.y.z.tar.gz wxGTK source distribution. You will
need the HTML, HTB and/or PDF documentation
(see below)
wxGTK-demos-x.y.z.tar.gz wxGTK demos source

wxGTK-x.y.z-0.src.rpm wxGTK Linux source as an RPM, without manuals
wxGTK-x.y.z-0.i386.rpm wxGTK Linux binaries as an RPM, without manuals
wxGTK-devel-x.y.z-0.i386.rpm wxGTK Linux minimum development system as an RPM
wxGTK-gl-x.y.z-0.i386.rpm Add-on OpenGL binary as an RPM
wxWindows for X11 and Motif distribution
wxX11-x.y.z.tar.gz wxX11 and wxMotif source distribution, without
documentation.
wxWindows for MS Windows distribution
setup.exe, setup-*.bin Setup files in floppy-disk-sized chunks
wxMSW-x.y.z-setup.zip Zip archive containing the
setup files
wxMSW-x.y.z.zip Zip archive containing all the files that are
in the setup distribution
As well as the core source, the wxMSW distribution contains:
- Windows HTML Help versions of the documentation (docs/htmlhelp);
- a Dialog Editor binary;
- a Tex2RTF binary;
- Life! sample binary.
wxWindows for MacOS distribution

source files (excludes documentation)
wxMac-x.y.z.tar.gz Gzipped tar archive containing all
source files (excludes documentation).
You might prefer this format if building on
MacOS X, since it preserves file permissions.
wxWindows for OS/2 distribution
wxOS2-x.y.z.zip Zip archive containing all source files
(excludes documentation)
Documentation files

wxWindows-x.y.z-HTMLHelp.zip Windows HTML Help documentation
wxWindows-x.y.z-HTB.zip wxHTML documentation (for
use with the helpview utility)
Installation
wxWindows 2 needs to be compiled before you can test out
the samples or write your own applications.
For installation information, please see the install.txt file
in the individual directories:
docs/msw
docs/gtk
docs/motif
docs/mac
docs/x11
docs/mgl
docs/os2
Licence information
For licensing information, please see the files:
docs/preamble.txt
docs/licence.txt
docs/licendoc.txt
docs/gpl.txt
docs/lgpl.txt
Although this may seem complex, it is there to allow authors of
proprietary/commercial applications to use wxWindows in
addition to those writing GPL'ed applications. In summary,
the licence is LGPL plus a clause allowing unrestricted
distribution of application binaries. To answer a FAQ, you
don't have to distribute any source if you wish to write
commercial applications using wxWindows.
However, if you distribute wxGTK or wxMotif (with Lesstif) version
of your application, don't forget that it is linked against
GTK+ (or Lesstif) which is covered by LGPL without exception
notice. Under Linux systems your app is probably linked
against LGPL glibc as well. Please read carefully LGPL, section 6.
which describes conditions for distribution of closed source applications
linked against LGPL library. Basically you should link dynamically and
include source code of LGPL libraries with your product (unless it is
already present in user's system - like glibc usually is).
If compiled with --enable-odbc (Unix only), wxWindows library will
contain iODBC library which is covered by LGPL.
If you use TIFF image handler, please see src/tiff/COPYRIGHT
for libtiff licence details.
If you use JPEG image handler, documentation for your program should
contain following sentence: "This software is based in part on the work of
the Independent JPEG Group". See src/jpeg/README for details.
If you use wxRegEx class on a system without native regular expressions
support (i.e. MS Windows), see src/regex/COPYRIGHT file for Henry Spencer's
regular expression library copyright.
