This is a stable release of Dynamic Windows version 3.3.

The current Dynamic Windows source base is considered stable on:
OS/2, Mac, Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenSolaris and iOS.
The source base is considered beta on Android, alpha on C++.

Build Recommendations:
MacOS:
    11-13: configure --with-arch=modern --with-minver=10.14
        64bit Intel and Apple Silicon (ARM64) with Dark Mode.
    10.13-10.15: configure --with-minver=10.8
        64bit Intel with Notifications, Dark Mode for 10.14-15.
    10.8-10.12: configure --with-arch=intel --with-minver=10.8
        64 and 32bit Intel with Notifications but no Dark Mode.
    10.5-10.6: configure --with-arch=classic --with-minver=10.5
        32bit PowerPC, 64bit and 32bit Intel classic support.
        No Notifications, Dark Mode nor NSView container/trees.
Windows:
    7-11: Visual Studio 2017-2022, WebView2 and WinToast.
        Should run on Vista and later, supports domain sockets
        on Windows 10, oldsockpipe() on older versions.
    XP: Visual Studio 2010.
        Should run on XP and later, with Aero on Vista and 7.
        No Notifications nor WebView2 and oldsockpipe() on all.
    2000: Visual Studio 2005. Remove -DAEROGLASS from CFLAGS.
        Should run on 2000 and later, no Aero, Notifications, 
        WebView2 and oldsockpipe() on all versions.
C++: Recommends a C++11 compatible compiler.
    MacOS: PowerPC GCC 6 from Tiger Brew.
           Intel Apple Clang from Xcode 4.4 or later.
           Apple Silicon any supported Apple Clang.
    Windows: Visual Studio 2015, recent Clang-cl or MingW32.
    Linux/FreeBSD: GCC 5 or Clang 3.3 recommended.
    OS/2: GCC 9.2 from Bitwise Works recommended.

    If you build with a pre-C++11 compiler features will be 
    disabled, and you may ended up building an extremely 
    simplified sample application instead of the full one.

Known problems:

Boxes with no expandable items will have their contents centered on 
    GTK2 instead of top or left justified on the other platforms.
    Pack an expandable DW_NOHWND item at the end of the box to keep
    the same appearance as other platforms. 
GTK3/4 due to changes in the core architecture does not support
    widgets that are smaller than what is contained within them,
    unless they use scrolled windows. GTK2 and other platforms do.
    Therefore windows or other elements may expand their size to 
    fit the contents, overriding requested size settings.
In Unicode mode on OS/2 there are some bugs in the input controls,
    minor bugs in entryfield based controls and major bugs in the MLE.
    The text displays properly but the cursor and selection jumps
    around oddly when passing over multibyte characters.
System scaling on Windows versions earlier than 10 will scale the
    individual controls, but will not scale the top-level window size.
    Windows 10 and higher will scale both the controls and window.

Known limitations:

Some widget may not be completely created when the widget handle is 
returned.  Some need to be setup such as Container controls on GTK, 
and others need to be packed before they are finalized.  Once setup
and packed it is completely safe to operate on widgets.  If you choose
to operate on widgets before setup and/or packing, then it depends 
on the platform if it will work or not.

Changes from version 3.2:
WARNING: Fixed an API inconsistency in dw_notebook_page_destroy/set().
    The page ID had been unsigned int when it should be unsigned long.
    On some platforms apps compiled for versions prior to 3.3 may
    malfunction when calling these API calls, so recompile with 3.3.
Added tree widget/control support for iOS and Android.
Removed the lib and dll directories previously used on Windows and OS/2.
    On Windows x86 and x64 subdirectories are created automatically
    This allows platform specific versions to be accessible without a 
    rebuild. Also removed the DWDLLDIR variable on Windows. If you have
    DWLIBDIR pointing to the "lib" subdirectory please remove "\lib".
Added DW_FEATURE_CONTAINER_MODE on Mobile platforms: iOS and Android.
    DW_CONTAINER_MODE_DEFAULT: Minimal container; icon and text only.
    DW_CONTAINER_MODE_EXTRA: Extra columns displayed on a second line.
    DW_CONTAINER_MODE_MULTI: A separate clickable line for each column.
Added return values to several functions previously returning void.
    Previous code should just be able to ignore the new return values.
    Currently affected: dw_window_set_bitmap(_from_data)
Added C++ language bindings in dw.hpp and an example C++ test
    application in the form of dwtestoo.cpp, similar to godwindows.
Added variadic versions of dw_debug() and dw_messagebox().
    This is how the standard library does it so we can call the new
    va_list versions from C++: dw_vdebug() and dw_vmessagebox().
Added dw_pixmap_get_height() and dw_pixmap_get_width() APIs to
    replace the DW_PIXMAP_HEIGHT() and DW_PIXMAP_WIDTH() macros.
    This allows non-C bindings to call them directly.
Added support for MacOS 13 Ventura and iOS 16.
