It represents the ABI-stable branch that began with wxWidgets 3.2.0 in July 2022, allowing downstream software to continue targeting 3.2 while newer development or default package lines move independently. ### Project history wxWidgets 3.2.0 was announced as a major stable release in July 2022. The project's release candidate announcement framed it as the first new ABI-stable release series since wxWidgets 3.0.0, nearly nine years earlier. The 3.2 line carried modernization work important to packagers and application developers, including newer compiler support, an entirely new CMake build system, macOS dark-mode and ARM support, and updates for bundled third-party libraries. ### Adoption history Versioned packaging exists because wxWidgets applications often build against a stable ABI line. The wxWidgets GitHub release notes for 3.2.x releases repeatedly describe the branch as API- and ABI-compatible with previous 3.2.x releases, which is exactly the property downstream package managers preserve with a versioned formula. ### How it is used Developers use the 3.2 package when a project expects wx-config-3.2, wxrc-3.2, or a wxWidgets 3.2 ABI rather than the default wxWidgets version. This is common for desktop applications that have not yet moved to a newer branch or that intentionally pin to the stable 3.2 series. ### Why package nerds care The formula is significant as a compatibility anchor. For package maintainers, wxwidgets@3.2 lets older or conservative GUI applications keep building reproducibly while the unversioned wxwidgets formula can track newer upstream releases. ### Timeline - 2013: wxWidgets 3.0.0 establishes the previous long-lived stable series. - June 27, 2022: wxWidgets 3.2.0 release candidate is announced as the next ABI-stable series. - July 7, 2022: wxWidgets 3.2.0 final release is announced. - March 3, 2026: The wxWidgets downloads page lists 3.2.10 as the latest stable release and the 3.2 API as stable since July 7, 2022. ### Related projects - The unversioned wxwidgets package tracks the same upstream project but may represent a different current packaging line. wxPython and many C++ desktop applications are downstream consumers whose build compatibility can depend on the wxWidgets stable branch. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for wxwidgets@3.2.
