Changes from version 3.0:
Added support for MacOS versions through Big Sur 11.0, Windows versions through 10 build 20H2.
Fixed a handle leak on OS/2 when built with (Open)Watcom.
Added dark mode support on MacOS Mojave 10.14 and later.
Added experimental dark mode support on Windows 10 build 1809 (disabled by default).
Added embedding Microsoft Edge (Chromium) support on Windows 7 and higher.Requires Windows 8 or higher SDK to build and the nuget package from: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Web.WebView2 unzipped into .\packages\Microsoft.Web.WebView2 Install runtime: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/ Will prefer to use the runtime above, but will fallback to an installed browser.
Added notification APIs: dw_notification_new() dw_notification_send() dw_app_id_set() Requires Windows 8 or higher. MacOS 10.8 or higher. GLib 2.40 or higher on Unix. MacOS also requires the application bundle being signed or self-signed. Unix requires a desktop file link with the application ID used in dw_app_id_set(). Unzip WinToast from https://github.com/mohabouje/WinToast into .\packages\WinToast
Added webkit2gtk support and removed dead gtkmozembed and libgtkhtml2 support on Unix.
Added embedded HTML javascript support on Mac, Windows and Unix with webkit(2)gtk.
Added function dw_html_javascript_run() to execute javascript code.
Added DW_SIGNAL_HTML_RESULT signal for getting the results from javascript.
DW_SIGNAL_HTML_RESULT requires webkit2gtk on Unix.
Added DW_SIGNAL_HTML_CHANGED signal handler for getting the status of embedded HTML. Status can be: DW_HTML_CHANGE_STARTED/REDIRECT/LOADING/COMPLETE
Fixed international calendar issues on Mac.
Added dw_mle_set_auto_complete() to enable completion, only available on Mac.
Changed to using GTK3 by default instead of GTK2. --with-gtk2 is now available.
Changed to using winsock2 on Windows ending support for Win95 and NT 3.5.
Changed to using Rich Edit for MLE controls on Windows. This can be disabled with: dw_feature_set(DW_FEATURE_MLE_RICH_EDIT, DW_FEATURE_DISABLED);
Added support for domain sockets on Windows 10 in the dwcompat sockpipe() macro. If compiled with Visual Studio 2017 or later, otherwise the old method is used.
Added dw_feature_set/get() to test if certain features are available on the current library and operating system combination at runtime or enabled/disable features.
Added support for GResource embedded images on GTK2/3 with GLib 2.32. The old resouce system is still available via configure --with-deprecated if needed.
Added support for NSView based Tree, Container and Listbox widgets on Mac 10.7+.
Removed DW_FCF_COMPOSITED support from Windows 8 and higher. This flag will still function to create a glass effect on Windows Vista and 7. The transparent key feature used to create it causes issues on 8 and 10, plus the glass effect, the main reason for the flag was removed in Windows 8.
Removed the incomplete Photon port.
Fixed many small bugs, too numerous to list here.
