All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
The format is based on Keep a Changelog.
4.2.1 - 2024-05-29
- Fix wxTextCtrl property
maxlengthconversion - Fix default values of AUI properties
aui_row,aui_position,aui_layer
4.2.0 - 2024-05-29
- Add 'Load From SVG Resource' for bitmap property (#817)
- Add project option to use native eol-style for generated files
- Add a separate property to propGridItem to specify the name (#815)
- Add subclassing support for classes where missing for Python
- BREAKING CHANGE: Data type
textis now single line only instead of multiline. Many properties use this data type although they should contain single line values only. If such properties do contain multiline values, silent data loss will happen when these values are modified. - Some properties now use a numeric data type instead of a text data type. These properties must only contain numeric values, this change should not lead to silent data loss because text values would have generated broken code.

- Removed the 'virtual_decl' 'event_handler' method because it seemed like hassle to get a linker error instead of a compiler error. It also cleans up the options a bit.
- FS#367 - Project-Properties: encoding is ignored. Fixed ANSII file generation - Loaden
- FS#357 - wxFB overrides file without confirmation from user. - hykwok

This was prompted by, and caused the closure of, these issues: FS#340 - "bitmap resources are unnamed, preventing use of wxXmlResource::Get()->LoadBitmap()" FS#329 - "XRC Properties - Follow on"
- Added #include <wx/intl.h> to header file when using internationalization

- FS#328 - "Unknown style flag wxTE_BESTWRAP for wxTextCtrl" Removed the flag, it is the default, and #define'd to 0x0000, so it was pointless anyway.
- FS#339 - "wx/icon.h not included when using resource icons in wxToolBar"
- FS#324 - "[wxMac] Buttons on the component palette have a black background"
- FS#319 - "Problems with Non-ASCII characters"

- FS#317 - "wxFB 3.0 RC6 doesn't show wxStaticBitmap when added (? is shown)"
- FS#308 - Bugs in non-interactive (-g) mode Note: stderr is not normally available on Windows for GUI apps. If -g is used, all logging goes to stderr and debug output. Either start the process with a pipe for stderr (most IDEs will do this for you), or use a Debug Viewer to watch the output.

- Implemented FS#117 - "ESC should close the XRC preview form." Note: This will never work on wxGTK because it does not set key events to frames or dialogs.
- Fixed FS#136 - "Panel size doesn't change properly when 'size' is set to -1"
- Fixed FS#137 - "Allow -1 for the 'size' property if the minimum/maximum size is set."

- Catching left clicks on the title bar of innerframe in order to select it
- Added wxSL_BOTH style flag to wxSlider
- Added encoding check for all loaded xml files. The means that the xml files must have a declaration, and the encoding must be UTF-8. If it is not, wxFB will offer to convert the file, from a user chosen original encoding. This resolves FS#69.
- Add the .fbp extension when saving if none is chosen. (this is really only an linux issue)
- Added a shortcut to the "XRC Window" menu item

- Status bar now stays on the bottom of the frame even when the sizer is empty
- Single Instance Stuff: Prefixed lockfiles with '.' so they are hidden. Switched using "localhost" to "127.0.0.1", "localhost" was not working for me. Added a status bar message in the second instance when the first instance is brought to the front. Moved single instance stuff to wxfbipc.cpp/h.
- General innerframe rendering updates

- Fixed crash when editing the value of a wxTextCtrl in the designer, under certain conditions. This resolves FS#45.
- Fixed problems with paths including non-English characters. wxFB can now be installed to such paths, as well as open/save projects, generate code, and import xrc files. This resolves FS#49.
- Now only allowing one choice for non_flexible_grow_mode and for flexible_direction on wxFlexGridSizer. This resolves FS#56.
- Now generating user_headers include statements above the generated header include. This resolves FS#55.
- Fixed FS#51 - "notebook-like objects errors while they are included into each other"
- Fixed FS#59 - "wxCheckListBox: incorrect class name in XRC"
- Fixed FS#62 - "Sub-Classing top level items doesn't work." This was a big change. The subclass property is now a parent property with two children: name and header. The name is the subclass name, and header is the header to include so that the subclass is defined while building. The header is placed into the correct generated file depending on whether a form or control is being subclassed. This removes most of the purposed of the "user_headers" property, so it has been removed. A "precompiled_header" property was added, with default value of "wx/wxprec.h". This fix necessitated the creation of a "parent" property type, of which "subclass" is the only example. More information on parent properties will soon be added to the wiki.
- Fixed FS#63 - "Size/minimum-size is not working."
- Fixed FS#60 - "wxFlexGridSizer vgap/hgap if empty they get generated empty." This was actually a bug with most numerical properties. Added a "uint" property type to solve this. Most numerical properties are now unsigned integers, so the property grid will not let it remain blank, and negative numbers are not accepted. This approach is good because it is clear to the user what will happen when the code is generated.
- Fixed FS#66 - "Adding common controls to toolbar."
- Fixed FS#65 - "Unfriendly object tree."
- Implemented FS#68 - "Smart enable/disable of toolbar items." This was already mostly done. Just needed to enable/disable the appropriate alignment buttons for wxBoxSizer and wxStaticBoxSizer.
- Fixed moving left, right, and into a new wxBoxSizer for spacers
- Fixed FS#72 - "When editing a property in the property grid, it is lost when you click away."

- Fixed FS#71 - "wxSplitter window sashpos not being set."
- ID_DEFAULT is no longer defined when not used
- Ids beginning with "wxID_" are no longer defined, this is to avoid redefining wxWidgets special identifiers
- Ids for forms now use the "id" property instead of being hardcoded to -1
- Fixed wxSlider XRC generation for the minValue and maxValue properties
- wxID_ANY is now the default id
- Object tree now saves its state

- Added maximum size property to wxWindow properties
- Implemented FS#26 - "Chronological id creation."
- Implemented FS#48 - "Improve error notification when a plugin is missing." If widgets are missing, the project will not load at all.
- Added a boolean "xrc_skip_sizer" property to Frame. The default is value is true. When true, the main sizer of the frame will not be generated in XRC, if the sizer only has one child. This is a workaround for a wx bug that ignores the "size" property of the frame if it has a sizer. This resolves FS#74.
- Added encoding check for all loaded xml files
