We can't go to 3.0.1 yet as there are still build issues on
Linux and OSX. You can get Windows to build, but there's
still some display issues.
These changes should work with wxWidgets 2.8.12 as well, so
we can take our time to get things working properly before
switching over.
The are pretty darn slick. There's an integer one and a floating point
one. They support automatic range limiting (ex., you can't even type a
number outside of the range), proper number formats (ex., you can't
enter a decimal point in an integer field), you can't enter bogus
numbers like "0.3-.2", thousands separators are supported, decimal
precision may be specified and proper number formatting for string
values (or automatic conversion to int, double, float, etc.).
