October 10, 2026 -- The wxWidgets team is pleased to announce the next release
of our open source framework for the development of native cross-platform
applications in C++.

wxWidgets 3.3.4 is the fifth release in the 3.3.x development series and
brings a number of improvements and bug fixes, with 900 changes from 52
unique contributors in it since the previous 3.3.3 release.

The amount of changes is too big to list them all here, but most of them fall
into the following categories:

- Numerous bug fixes and improvements for wxMSW dark mode.
- Better Wayland support in wxGTK, notably implementing wxAUI panes dragging
  and restoring top level windows positions (when the required protocols are
  available). wxTaskBarIcon also works under Wayland now (with AppIndicator).
- Improved accessibility support on all platforms, including wxOSX and wxGTK.
- Improved handling of IME under all platforms.
- Several major new features added to wxRibbon.
- Some long standing bugs in (TCP-based) wxIPC and wxSocket have been fixed.
- Accelerator key handling has been made more flexible and consistent.

The new version is available now from

    https://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads/

and

    https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/releases/v3.3.4


Please see the change log

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/v3.3.3/docs/changes.txt

for the list of the other changes and also see

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/v3.2.12/docs/changes.txt

as the changes in 3.2.12 release are also included in this one and notably
include multiple buffer overflows in different image handlers and other
components.


This release is part of the "development" release series, but these development
releases are suitable for production use: the only difference between them and
"stable" releases is that neither ABI nor API stability is guaranteed in 3.3.x.
However we strive to minimize API-incompatible changes even so and, in spite of
a huge number of changes since the last stable version, this release remains
almost fully API-compatible with wxWidgets 3.2 and updating the existing
applications to use it should be straightforward. However please make sure to
read the "INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES" section in the change log to be aware of the
breaking changes in it.


We hope that you will enjoy using the new release!

Vadim Zeitlin, on behalf of wxWidgets development team.
