ChangeLog:

04/15/2008 Version 3.00.57
* FS#349 - “RC8 menu editor still generate incorect menu item code”
* FS#345 - “Crash on Mac OS X when loading plugins”
* Fixed crash on close when showing a propgrid from the wxAdditions plugin
in the Designer window.
* FS#351 - “Can’t edit choices if the ‘\’ is used”

03/18/2008 Version 3.00.56 (RC8)
* Added #include to header file when using internationalization.
* Custom control now inherits from wxWindow, to provide common properties.
* FS#336 - “Incorrect ScrollBar Disconnection”
* FS#310 - “FB should not try to disconnect event handlers in dialog/frame’s destructor.”
This is now optional, see the “disconnect_events” property of the Project object.
* FS#337 - “Incorrect Vertical Toolbar Rendering”
* FS#328 - “Unknown style flag wxTE_BESTWRAP for wxTextCtrl”
Removed the flag, it is the default, and #define’d to 0×0000, so it was pointless anyway.
* FS#339 - “wx/icon.h not included when using resource icons in wxToolBar”
^ Removed the two project-level XRC properties, “bitmaps” and “icons”.
These never worked properly, and wxFB is not the right place to enter that information,
a standalone XRC file written with any text-editor would be much better.
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”
* FS#324 - “[wxMac] Buttons on the component palette have a black background”

02/18/2008 Version 3.00.55 (RC7)
* FS#319 - “Problems with Non-ASCII characters”
* FS#318 - “wxChoice window_name not generated”
* FS#314 - “wxListBox + Clicking on wxLC_VIRTUAL causes infinite loop”
* FS#317 - “wxFB 3.0 RC6 doesn’t show wxStaticBitmap when added (? is shown)”

02/01/2008 Version 3.00.54 (RC6)
* 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.
* FS#311 - wxFB 3.0 RC5 still generating incorrect wxMenu(item) code

01/15/2008 Version 3.00.53 (RC5)
* Fixed missing C++ code generation for menu separators and menu item bitmaps.
* FS#290 - “Toolbarseparator leads to crash if the Bitmapsize differs from default.”
^ Improved refresh of selection inside a scrolled window.
* Fixed crash on xrc generation for empty bitmap properties.
* FS#295 - “SashGravity not exported in XRC”
* FS#297 - “wxColourPicker not selectable on form”
* FS#298 - “wxFontPickerCtrl not selectable on form”
* FS#299 - “wxFilePickerCtrl not selectable on form”
* FS#300 - “wxDirPickerCtrl not selectable on form”
* FS#301 - “wxToggleButton value property not updated”
* Fixed C++ generation of the wxToggleButton “value” property
* FS#302 - “wxSpinCtrl initial property not updating”
* FS#294 - “wxRadioBox not selectable on form”

12/17/2007 Version 3.00.52 (RC4-1)

^ No longer creating a temporary file on disk for the XRC Preview.
* FS#247 - “Invalid macro generated by wxFB.”
* FS#248 - “Property choices of wxChoice: Strings with single quotes are truncated”
This forced incrementing the .fbp version to 1.9
* FS#249 - “Paste From Clipboard requires Administrator privileges on Vista”
* FS#252 - “OnSize event bug in RC3 for wxPanel.”

12-8-2006 Version 3.00.12 (Beta 2)
* 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.

12-4-2006 Version 3.00.11 (Beta 2)
* 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.

11-15-2006 Version 3.00.10 (Beta 2)
* 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.

10-30-2006 Version 3.00.09 (Beta 2)
* 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#73 — “Toolbar tools not selecting the object in the object tree.”
* Fixed FS#71 — “wxSplitter window sashpos not being set.”

10-27-2006 Version 3.00.08 (Beta 2)
* 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.

10-26-2006 Version 3.00.07 (Beta 2)
^ wxID_ANY is now the default id.
^ Object tree now saves its state.
^ Object tree now also scrolls horizontally when selecting an object.
^ Added class name and line to error message for unknown classes when importing xrc.
^ Improved both C++ and XRC code generation for wxSplitterWindow.

10-25-2006 Version 3.00.06 (Beta 2)
^ Implemented FS#26 — “Chronological id creation.”
+ Added support for using wxSplitterWindow with only one child.
+ Added min_pane_size and sashsize properties to wxSplitterWindow.
+ Added maximum size property to wxWindow properties.

10-20-2006 Version 3.00.05 (Beta 2)
+ 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.

10-13-2006 Version 3.00.04 (Beta 1)
* Fixed visual editor for subpanels.
* Fixed circular subclassing. This resolves FS#32.
* Fixed Alt-Tab icon. This resolves FS#34.
^ Now limiting to a single instance of wxFB per project file. The resolves FS#31.

10-08-2006 Version 3.00.03 (Beta 1)
* Fixed wxWindow settings code generation.

10-07-2006 Version 3.00.02 (Beta 1)
* Fixed generation bugs in submenu and wxCheckList (now wxCheckListBox)
These were caused by subclass in version 2.00.75. This closes FS#20.
* Changed title of save dialog box from “Open Project” to “Save Project”
This closes FS#18.
* Fixed xrc generation of static bitmap using patch supplied by henrique.
This closes FS#16
* Added subclassing on forms. This closes FS#21.
* Fixed C++ output of value property for wxGauge.
+ Added center property for wxDialog and wxFrame. This closes FS#17.
+ Individual directories for each plug-in.
+ Toolbar separators. This closes FS#11.
+ Possibility to group plugin components with toolbar separators.
^ Premake script for sdk projects.
^ Renamed contrib to wxAddition plug-in.
^ Palette now remembers tab order.
^ Major ripup/redesign of the plugin interface.
~ Plugin directory out of src.
~ wxAdditions plug-in to the wxAdditions repository.
