I will not announce this on the wxwin-users mailing list because it does not have the quality one might expect of a beta release. I. e. there are serious bugs and shortcomings, some of which the porting team knows about. This is only a snapshot. For this release I have downloaded the entire Mac development tree *and* I have also created a separate archive that contains only a 'diff' and the GNU-diff and Patch applications that will take your 'a2' tree to 'a3', EXCEPT THAT the 'patch' will not upgrade your CodeWarrior Projects to include the new files in 'a3'. In any case, patch or full distribution, this release has only been tested with CW7, for the PPC processsor (although I expect no problems with CW7 68K). This snapshot has *not* been tested with MPW, Apple or Codewarrior, and probably wont unless someone asks. The short story is that the 'wxmac161d-a2-a3.sea.hqx' file is around 274K. The full distribution is 'wxmac161d-a3.sea.hqx' and 1044K or so. I also include the relevant parts to the README.mac: 10/3/95 - Alpha 3 snapshot New with wxMac161d-a3 1. added wb_dialg.cc back to the project - mostly #if'd out. 2. added USE_IMAGE_LOADING_IN_MAC to wx_setup.cc. Restructured wxBitmap code in wx_gdi.cc to use wx_image.cc. 3. Begin conversion of wxImage - much remains to be done. Can load bitmaps with PICTs or GIFs. (Thanks birk@moonface.com) 4. Converted most projects to CodeWarrior 7. 5. Added code to actually do wxTextWindow::SaveFile() 6. "Fix" for default (-1) height arg for wxText constructor 7. CWGUSI 1.60 required by default. 8. wxFileSelector returns pathnames and filename (requires GUSI) (from birk@moonface.com again - thanks) 9. Changes in distribution format: Binary archives will be self extracting Stuffit archives in binhex. Removed (msw) and (x) directories from include and src directories and deleted most non-MPW Makefiles. Added utils/image and utils/extend - selected files only. 10. Has not been tested with MPW - probably won't be for some time. 11. New distribution method - diff/patch files plus 68K apps for GNU-diff and patch. Named wxMac161d-a2-to-a3.sit.hqx. 'patch' DOES NOT update CW projects however. ----- As always, thanks for your support Cecil Coupe
