Own Id: OTP-13934 Aux Id: ERL-270

Add wxWindow:dragAcceptFiles/2 and wxDropFilesEvent to support simple drag and drop from file browser.

Own Id: OTP-13933

Increased the stacksize for the wx thread. The default stacksize on Windows is 1MB which is not enough if the user created many nested dialogs.

Own Id: OTP-13816

Fixed bugs which could cause called functions to be invoked twice or not at all when callbacks where invoked at the same time.

Own Id: OTP-13491

Changed atom 'boolean' fields in #wxMouseState{} to 'boolean()'.

*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

Own Id: OTP-12259

Distribute autoconf helpers to applications at build time instead of having multiple identical copies committed in the repository.

Fix wxSL_LABELS compatibility between wxWidgets-2.8 and wxWidgets-3.0 versions

Some local implementations of removing the last element from a list are replaced by lists:droplast/1. Note that this requires at least stdlib-2.0, which is the stdlib version delivered in OTP 17.0. (Thanks to Hans Svensson)

Own Id: OTP-11678

Reworked the internal event handling to avoid crashes in destroy objects. Thanks Tom for the bug report.

Own Id: OTP-11699

Application upgrade (appup) files are corrected for the following applications:

asn1, common_test, compiler, crypto, debugger, dialyzer, edoc, eldap, erl_docgen, et, eunit, gs, hipe, inets, observer, odbc, os_mon, otp_mibs, parsetools, percept, public_key, reltool, runtime_tools, ssh, syntax_tools, test_server, tools, typer, webtool, wx, xmerl

A new test utility for testing appup files is added to test_server. This is now used by most applications in OTP.

(Thanks to Tobias Schlager)

Add {silent_start, boolean()} option to wx:new/1 in order to be able to suppress error messages during startup of wx. (Thanks to Håkan Mattsson)

Own Id: OTP-10585

Fix wxTreeCtrl:getBoundingRect/2 and wxTreeCtrl:hitTest/1. wxTreeCtrl:hitTest now returns a tuple not bug compatible with previous releases but needed.

Own Id: OTP-10743

The wx application now compiles and is usable with the unstable development branch of wxWidgets-2.9. Some functions are currently not available in wxWidgets-2.9 and their erlang counterparts are marked as deprecated. They will generate an error if called when linked against wxWidgets-2.9 libraries. This means that wx can now be built on 64bit MacOsX, but keep in mind that wxWidgets-2.9 is still a development branch and needs (a lot) more work before it becomes stable.

Own Id: OTP-10407 Aux Id: kunagi-262 [173]

Fix errors in wxDC and wxGraphicsContext api.

Add wxTaskBarIcon.

Add wxStyledTextControl:setEdgeMode/2.

Add type and specs for all functions and records.

Own Id: OTP-9947

Fixed a deadlock in the driver, which could happen if a callback caused another callback to be invoked.

Own Id: OTP-9725

Load Opengl from libGL.so.1 instead libGL.so to work around linux problems.

Wx crashed if graphics could not be initiated, for instance if DISPLAY was not available.

Wx could crash during startup, thanks Boris Muhmer for extra ordinary testing.

Own Id: OTP-9080

Wx on MacOS X generated complains on stderr about certain cocoa functions not beeing called from the "Main thread". This is now corrected.

Own Id: OTP-9081

Add wxSystemSettings which was missing in the previous release, despite previous comments.

Fix an external loop when stopping erlang nicely.

Separate OpenGL to it's own dynamic loaded library, so other graphic libraries can reuse the gl module and it will not waste memory if not used.

Own Id: OTP-8951

Fix crash (segmentation fault) in callback handling.

Own Id: OTP-8766

Add wxSystemSettings module.

Add wxTreeCtrl:editLabel/2.

Own Id: OTP-8767

Own Id: OTP-8330

Fixed a memory reference bug which caused unexplained {badarg, Int} exits when running multiple wx applications.

Own Id: OTP-8408

Cleanups suggested by tidier and modernization of types and specs.

Added getFirstChild and getNextChild to wxTreeCtrl.

Own Id: OTP-8462

Added wx_object improvements from Mazen.

Fixed pid issues, reported by Mazen.

Added wxLogNull class, reported by Amit Murthy.

Own Id: OTP-8126

wxHtmlWindow class implemented.

All exceptions from callbacks are now catched and written to the log.

Some defines where wrong in 'wx.hrl'.

wx:batch/1 and friends could hang forever if for instance a breakpoint was set inside the fun. That caused all wx applications to hang.

Calling non supported wxWidgets functions hanged instead of crashed.

Update OpenGL to version 3.1 and added some of the missing glu functions.
