This directory contains the files for wxWidgets 2.9.4 release.
Please notice that since the 2.9 series only a single source distribution is
provided instead of the multiple distributions containing only the files for
each port as was done before. So you only need to download wxWidgets-2.9.4.zip
(or .7z for much smaller archive size) for Microsoft Windows systems or
wxWidgets-2.9.4.tar.bz2 for Unix ones, including Mac OS X. The only difference
between these files is that the ZIP (and 7z) archives contain files with DOS
line endings while the tar balls contain files with Unix line endings.
Note for Windows users: as an experiment, we also provide, for the first time,
pre-built binaries of wxMSW port built using several versions of Microsoft
Visual C++ compiler. They are available from the binaries
subdirectory.
Please notice that the files in this directory, including
wxWidgets-2.9.4-Setup.exe file, contain only the sources and do not
include any binaries, so you will need to build the library after downloading
them. Please see docs/msw/install.txt
for instructions.
Please report any bugs in this release using our Trac
or by posting to wx-users mailing list.
To verify your download you can use the following sha1sums:

This directory contains binary files for wxWidgets 2.9.4 release.
Currently the binaries are available for Microsoft Visual C++ compiler
versions 8.0, 9.0 and 10.0 corresponding to marketing product names of
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, 2008 and 2010 respectively.
For developing applications with wxWidgets you need to download the
compiler-independent wxMSW-2.9.4_Headers.7z file and one of
wxMSW-2.9.4-vcXXX_Dev.7z files depending on your compiler version.
Unpack both files into the same directory so that "include" and "lib"
directories are at the same level after unpacking. You should be able
to compile and link applications using wxWidgets in both debug and
release modes but the debug symbols are provided only for debug
libraries in this archive, see below for the release build debug
symbols.
End users may download wxMSW-2.9.4_vcXXX_ReleaseDLL.7z files to get
just the DLLs required for running the applications using wxWidgets.
The files wxMSW-2.9.4_vcXXX_ReleasePDB.7z contain the debug symbols
for the release build of the DLLs. Download them if you want to debug
your own applications in release build or if you want to get
meaningful information from mini-dumps retrieved from your users
machines.
This is our first attempt to provide binaries for wxWidgets libraries
and we are very interested in your feedback. Please let us know if
these files are useful to you and how could they be made more so and,
of course, if you run into any problems with them. Looking forward to
hearing from you on wx-users mailing list.

wxWidgets 2.9.2 Release Notes
=============================
Welcome to the latest release of wxWidgets, a free cross-platform C++
framework for writing advanced GUI applications using 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, facilities for writing network applications,
thread handling, and so on. You can learn more about wxWidgets at
http://www.wxwidgets.org/
wxWidgets sources are available for download from
https://sourceforge.net/projects/wxwindows/files/2.9.2/
or
ftp://ftp.wxwidgets.org/pub/2.9.2/
Please see the "Files" section below for the description of various
files available at these locations.
A detailed reference manual including in-depth overviews for various
topics is supplied in various formats and can be accessed online at
http://docs.wxwidgets.org/2.9.2/
Note about naming: while 2.9.2 is called a "development" release,
this only means that API is not guaranteed to remain unchanged in the
subsequent 2.9.x releases (although it is still likely that it will),
unlike in the stable 2.8.x branch. We believe the current version is
stable and suitable for use in production environment.
This release contains several years worth of improvements compared
to 2.8 version. Notably, Unicode support has been completely
overhauled and made much easier to use. Debugging support, including
when using a release build of the library, was much improved making
it less likely that you use the library incorrectly. Many new GUI
and base classes have been added or improved.
Please see the file docs/changes.txt for more details and make sure
to read the section "Incompatible changes since 2.8" if you upgrade
from a previous wxWidgets release.
This release introduces many important changes and we are looking
forward to your feedback about them. In particular please let us
know about any regressions compared to the previous versions (see
the section "Bug reporting" below) so that we could fix them before
3.0 release.
wxWidgets currently supports the following primary platforms:
There is some support for the following platforms:
Most popular C++ compilers are supported; see the install.txt
file for each platform (available via docs/html/index.htm) and
http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/Supported_Platforms for the most up to
date status.
wxWidgets is distributed in source form in several archive formats.
ZIP and 7z archives are for Microsoft Windows users and contain the
files with DOS/Windows line endings while the compressed tar archives
for Unix systems users (including OS X) and contain the files with
Unix line endings. Please notice that some Windows tools still don't
accept files with Unix line endings and that compiling sources with
DOS line endings under Unix will fail, so please choose the correct
file for your system.
In addition to the sources, documentation in HTML, CHM and HTB
(wxWidgets help viewer) formats is provided as well as an installer
for Microsoft Windows. Notice that you will still need to compile
wxWidgets even when using the installer.
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 docs subdirectory appropriate for
the platform you use.
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 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 documentation is available online at
http://docs.wxwidgets.org/2.9.2/ and can also be downloaded in HTML
format. To generate documentation in other formats (PDF, CHM, ...)
please use the scripts in docs/doxygen directory.
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.
The wxWidgets Web site is located at:
The main wxWidgets ftp site is at:
A wxWidgets CD-ROM with the latest distribution plus an HTML
front-end and hundreds of MB of compilers, utilities and other
material may be ordered from the CD-ROM page: see the wxWidgets
web site.
Have fun!

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.
Please see changes.txt and "Changes since 2.6" in the manual
for details.
wxWidgets currently supports the following platforms:
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.
The distribution is available in archive formats appropriate to the
target system. See the download pages for details.
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
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.
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.

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

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.
Please see changes.txt and "Changes since 2.6" in the manual
for details.
wxWidgets currently supports the following platforms:
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.
The distribution is available in archive formats appropriate to the
target system. See the download pages for details.
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
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.
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.

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 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.
See docs/html/index.htm for an HTML index of the major documents.
