Windows Nightlies switching to wx2.8.3

<< < (3/4) > >>

I'm really looking forward to see this ugly Bug with Drag'n'Drop in wxGTK no longer disturbing me :)

So hopefully there will be at least sources for wx2.8 on Linux soon

If so, why not to apply this in Linux too?, after all, even for those users not having a precompiled package, it could be possible to just compile wx2.8 before CB and it should work  :D (In the future, the Wiki may give some help for those users who need to compile wx2.8 from sources themselves).

You're doing an exelent job here!!

there are some fixes, some of them we backported in our customized wx263 dll.
But now we are back on track with wx. New features of wx will not be used for the moment, first wx28 should become mainstream.

Mac OS X will switch to using wxWidgets 2.8.3 too,
once the wxSmith "issues" have been sorted out...

Even less of a problem there, since it (wxWidgets) is
bundled within the CodeBlocks.app application bundle.
Will still need to fix the new wxMac bugs with wx 2.8,
such as the missing menus, but that's another story.

Impact:
On Windows, killerbot has explained about menu item fixes.
On Linux, wxGTK drag & drop fix should be one of the interesting ones. There other improvements (e.g., Links pointing to Bug reporting sites will now work in Linux).

There could be more which I'm not aware of. But one improvement is wx 2.6 related bugs will get fixed. :)

@killerbot

There are a number of warnings during the build. Most of them are due to change in wx API.

There are couple of warnings related to deprecated functions in wxScintilla.

Regards,

Biplab

The only fact of being up-to-date with wxWidgets is itself a really big improvement  :D

Great work !
