Changes

• Implement workaround for issue #16 Applications could crash on invoking the ChartDirector method setOutputOptions due to a bug in the ChartDirector code.

• Build files for Visual C++ 2022 are now included
• Please see release notes for 2.0.0 for further details.

General

ChartDirector 7.0 was officially announced by Advanced Software Engineering. Please refer to the official release notes for details about what's new in this release.

wxChartDir has been adjusted to fully support ChartDirector 7.0. All sample applications are included.

Major changes

• Support for enhanced dynamic tooltips (new in ChartDirector 7)
• Support for DPI awareness (new in ChartDirector 7)
• Enhancement of handling selection boxes (less flicker)
• Support for loading resources (like images and icons) from graphics files (similar to the QT version)

Notes

• Support for wxWidgets 2.x has been dropped.
• wxWidgets 3.0.x lacks High DPI Awareness support, and will not be supported, unless there is a real demand.
• wxWidgets 3.1.x is supported.
• Build files are provided for Visual C++ 2015, 2017, and 2019, and MinGW-w64, as well as for the autoconf/automake toolchain. Visual C++ versions below Visual C++ 2015 may work, but have not been tested.

This is the initial release of wxChartDir.
