Title: Regarding HEAD and VERSION_1_0
Post by: mandrav on August 20, 2005, 11:08:28 am
The two branches are only different in the use of wxDockit (HEAD uses it, VERSION_1_0 doesn't).
This difference makes our job a lot harder to keep them synchronized with the latest changes. I personally think we should merge these two branches. wxDockit has proved stable for the job and I see no other reason for having two different branches.
We will make a new branch when 1.0 is out.

So what do you, the other devs, think?

i think so too

even when it will need some effort to make it compiling in unicode-builds too,
as VERSION_1_0 branch currently does.
but all these unicode changes don't harm in ansi-builds...

Yes, that's why wxWidgets has all those macros. So they'll work in both unicode an ansi.

So yes, I vote for the merging of the two builds. Now the question is: HOW?

I think we should have a #define somewhere that tells us whether to use wxDockit or not.

I mean use wxDockit as standard interface. That's why I 'm not seeing the need for two branches. They differ nowhere else...

Oh, so that means we're moving to wx2.6.

In that case please fix the transparent icons, they look UGLY! in 2.6 :)

I support the decision ! the developer can be more focus on the development
And hope that the problem that Linux user complained can be solved totally

Nothing to do with the wx version.
Both branches work with wx2.4 and wx2.6. The only problem is the linux version doesn't work with wx2.6...

OK in that case please merge the two versions (I committed last unicode-related changes tonight. I think unicode conversion is complete at last :-) ).
