This is a stable release of Dynamic Windows version 2.0.0. The current Dynamic Windows source base is stable on OS/2, Windows, Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris. The Mac (Cocoa) version appears stable but has not undergone harsh testing. Known problems: Boxes don't adhere to ratios on Unix. Known limitations: It is not safe on all platforms to operate on widgets before they are packed. For portablity pack widgets before operating on them. On Windows a slider control will only work properly if it is the only slider in a box. If there is more than one slider control in a box then signals may get misdirected to the wrong control. On OS/2 and Windows MLE controls scrolled position may get corrupted when resizing. On Unix (GTK) the window manager border is not a constant value so environment variables DW_BORDER_WIDTH and DW_BORDER_HEIGHT are used for proper positioning. On Mac if performing Dynamic Windows operations on secondary threads which do not terminate, it may be required to call a Mac specific DW function _dw_pool_drain() at the end of the thread's loop to prevent memory leaks. Future features: OS/2 is currently missing the Calendar and HTML widgets because the system does not support them by default. Looking into writing custom ones or importing functionality from available libraries. Changes from version 1.1: Added support for MacOS 10.5 and higher Intel and PPC via Cocoa. Added support for Windows themes on XP and higher. Added scrollbox widgets, which function like boxes but... scrollbars allow you to pack more into them than the available area. Added dw_window_get_font() for checking the font used on a widget. Added dw_container_change_row_title() for changing a row pointer after insert. Changed the return codes of dw_container_setup, dw_filesystem_setup and dw_event_wait(). Please check any code that use these functions. Changed GTK2+ now supports font name styles like the other platforms.
