<h1>Wt Release notes</h1>
This file lists important notes on migrating existing applications to
newer version of Wt. It lists changes in the library that may break
the way you build Wt, the way you configure Wt or the Wt API and
behaviour.
<h2>Release 4.12.6 (March 17, 2026)</h2>
<p>Wt 4.12.6 is a patch release that addresses the following issues:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14376" target="_blank">Issue #14376</a>:
fixed
<a href="classWt_1_1WTableView.html#a4e5900e1c92219763c7b5d4a9e1ac2c5" target="_blank">WTableView::itemWidget()</a>
wrongly returning unrendered widgets when used in plain HTML mode. This could then also lead to a segmentation fault when
trying to modify the headers before the view was rendered.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14066" target="_blank">Issue #14066</a>:
fixed
<a href="classWt_1_1WTableView.html" target="_blank">WTableView</a> header columns not
always having the same height as the content columns, which lead to several issues.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14319" target="_blank">Issue #14319</a>:
fixed <a href="classWt_1_1WTableView.html" target="_blank">WTableView</a> sometimes not updating after
a client-side resize.
Additionally, fixed
<a href="classWt_1_1WTableView.html#a093b661f93551c1d6f73c423ae8ef459" target="_blank">WTableView::scrollTo()</a> with
<a href="namespaceWt.html#ae0fdcefe4b1fefe747b5f423c020334aa47ec5fd00436263c0d6b91bf575ea690" target="_blank">ScrollHint::EnsureVisible</a>
inverting top and bottom.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14332" target="_blank">Issue #14332</a>:
fixed
<a href="classWt_1_1WDialog.html" target="_blank">WDialog</a>'s content being cut off when containing a
<a href="classWt_1_1WTableView.html" target="_blank">WTableView</a> with a width bigger than the dialog itself.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14293" target="_blank">Issue #14293</a>:
fixed
<a href="classWt_1_1WDialog.html" target="_blank">WDialog</a> fitting to its content in
<a href="classWt_1_1WBootstrap2Theme.html" target="_blank">WBootstrap2Theme</a> and
<a href="classWt_1_1WBootstrap3Theme.html" target="_blank">WBootstrap3Theme</a>.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13958" target="_blank">Issue #13958</a>:
corrected a JavaScript error when using <a href="namespaceWt.html#aeb0e4f49ce4a28d8ce9b0c6005027876" target="_blank">Wt::LayoutImplementation::Flex</a>
with a disabled ancestor widget.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13692" target="_blank">Issue #13692</a>:
fixed JS layouts in <a href="classWt_1_1WStackedWidget.html" target="_blank">WStackedWidget</a>
not being updated after being switched in with an animation. This would lead to the
content of the layout being fitted to the size of the old container.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14352" target="_blank">Issue #14352</a>:
fixed compilation error that could happen when using clang with C++20 with the
<code>WT_CPP17_FILESYSTEM_IMPLEMENTATION="std"</code> option.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14395" target="_blank">Issue #14395</a>:
added the scope to some <code>target_compile_definitions</code> where they were missing.

<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14356" target="_blank">Issue #14356</a>:
ensured that
<a href="classWt_1_1WDialog.html" target="_blank">WDialog</a> top-left corner is visible when the dialog
position is automatically determined by wt.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14380" target="_blank">Issue #14380</a>:
changed the style class <code>.in</code> for <code>.show</code> when using
<a href="classWt_1_1WBootstrap5Theme.html" target="_blank">WBootstrap5Theme</a> as it is the
correct class to use for Bootstrap 5.
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Release 4.12.5 (March 3, 2026)</h2>
<p>Wt 4.12.5 is a patch release that addresses the following issues:</p>

</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/11505" target="_blank">Issue #11505</a>:
<a href="classWt_1_1WAbstractItemModel.html#a3c4a0ffe050bc0d11feeac4749dde784" target="_blank">WStandardItemModel::setHeaderData()</a> will now
correctly return false instead of making Wt crash when given a wrong section. An error will be logged to let
the developer know a wrong section was given.

</ul>
<h2>Release 4.12.2 (January 28, 2026)</h2>
<p>
Wt 4.12.2 is a patch release that addresses the following issues:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13880" target="_blank">Issue #13880</a>:
fixed bot potentially being redirected to another page when trying to load a private
resource.
Additionally, it is now possible to configure whether private resources are served
to bots by setting the <code>serve-private-resources-to-bots</code> option to true.
In that case, the private resources that have overridden the
<a href="classWt_1_1WResource.html#ae2d1f6fe25f575297ed3bd315f72a667" target="_blank">WResource::botResource()</a>
method will be added as public resources so that it can be served to bots. That
function is already overridden by
<a href="classWt_1_1WRasterImage.html" target="_blank">WRasterImage</a> and
<a href="classWt_1_1WSvgImage.html" target="_blank">WSvgImage</a>.
The path under which these bot resources are exposed can be configured using the
<code>bot-resources-path</code> option in the <code>wt_config.xml</code> file and the
<a href="classWt_1_1WResource.html#af7b9c1cec14007140a55bfc6fbb69cea" target="_blank">WResource::setBotResourceId()</a>
method.
Finally, in order to help managing those bot resources, it is now possible to remove
entrypoints while the server is running, and the new
<a href="classWt_1_1WSelfDeletingResource.html" target="_blank">WSelfDeletingResource</a>
class was added, which is a WResource that will automatically unexposed itself after
being served once.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13798" target="_blank">Issue #13798</a>:
fixed
<a href="classWt_1_1WPopupMenu.html" target="_blank">WPopupMenu</a> submenus not taking
<a href="classWt_1_1WPopupMenu.html#a47a35b9b9ff72ea1c9daf86897730bd3" target="_blank">WPopupMenu::setAdjust()</a>
flags into account when opening. Since
<a href="classWt_1_1WPopupMenu.html" target="_blank">WPopupMenu</a> submenus can now
hide its parent menu, more control over
<a href="classWt_1_1WPopupMenu.html#a5f65e7578883ecad37e9b1aae6a6cfe5" target="_blank">WPopupMenu::setAutoHide()</a>
was added, by allowing to change it for submenus as well, and by adding different
<a href="classWt_1_1WPopupMenu.html#ae7784177e77b54a16ccdb5dc720659fe" target="_blank">WPopupMenu::AutoHideBehaviour</a>
options that can be set using
<a href="classWt_1_1WPopupMenu.html#a5d52d004e6012067c722ccb9d29c129b" target="_blank">WPopupMenu::setAutoHideBehaviour()</a>.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14058" target="_blank">Issue #14058</a>:
ensured the initial <a href="classWt_1_1WMenu.html" target="_blank">WMenu</a> or
<a href="classWt_1_1WTabWidget.html" target="_blank">WTabWidget</a> selection is visually rendered.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13861" target="_blank">Issue #13861</a>:
corrected the layout rendering for <a href="classWt_1_1WMenuItem.html" target="_blank">WMenuItem</a>,
that are loaded <a href="namespaceWt.html#af25a7f0bb1d50c5b8bc98c4db9080313" target="_blank">Lazy</a>
through a <a href="classWt_1_1WStackedWidget.html" target="_blank">WStackedWidget</a>.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13961" target="_blank">Issue #13961</a>:
corrected a check in the JavaScript code that was creating an error when pasting content to a
<a href="classWt_1_1WTextEdit.html" target="_blank">WTextEdit</a>.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13786" target="_blank">Issue #13786</a>:
fixed <a href="classWt_1_1WTableView.html#a093b661f93551c1d6f73c423ae8ef459" target="_blank">WTableView::scrollTo()</a>
only checking if the top of the row was in the viewport in order to decide whether to scroll or not. It will now scroll if
either the top or the bottom of the row are not in the viewport.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13775" target="_blank">Issue #13775</a>:
fixed <a href="classWt_1_1WTreeView.html" target="_blank">WTreeView</a> cells
clearing their style classes if the size of their HTML <code>class</code>
exceeded 1024 characters.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13818" target="_blank">Issue #13818</a>:
fixed <a href="classWt_1_1WGroupBox.html" target="_blank">WGroupBox</a> switching from horizontal to vertical layouting inside a
<a href="namespaceWt.html#aeb0e4f49ce4a28d8ce9b0c6005027876" target="_blank">LayoutImplementation::Flex</a> when using
<a href="classWt_1_1WGroupBox.html#a369081aa62b840875cac9ee5d24bd64e" target="_blank">WGroupBox::setTitle()</a>.
Additionally, fixed
<a href="classWt_1_1WGroupBox.html" target="_blank">WGroupBox</a> not always respecting the minimum
size of its content when having a
<a href="namespaceWt.html#aeb0e4f49ce4a28d8ce9b0c6005027876" target="_blank">LayoutImplementation::JavaScript</a>.
This could lead to other widget overlapping the content of the
<a href="classWt_1_1WGroupBox.html" target="_blank">WGroupBox</a>.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13670" target="_blank">Issue #13670</a>:
fixed the following issues with layouts:
<ul>
<li>
a bug where JavaScript layouts would sometimes not allow its
<a href="classWt_1_1WContainerWidget.html" target="_blank">WContainerWidget</a> to be resized.
</li>
<li>
a bug leading to items in flex layouts to have negative margins.
</li>
<li>
JavaScript layouts not taking margins into account if those margins width were set using
"thin", "medium" or "thick".
</li>
<li>
JavaScript layouts sometimes leaving a pixel between its content and the border of its
<a href="classWt_1_1WContainerWidget.html" target="_blank">WContainerWidget</a>. This was
especially visible when zooming in or out on the page.
</li>
<li>
elements inside of
<a href="classWt_1_1WHBoxLayout.html" target="_blank">WHBoxLayout</a> or
<a href="classWt_1_1WVBoxLayout.html" target="_blank">WVBoxLayout</a> respectively not filling
the entire column/row, if its height/width was not set to "auto".
</li>
<li>
flex layouts not making their
<a href="classWt_1_1WContainerWidget.html" target="_blank">WContainerWidget</a> fit its content
when the <code>WContainerWidget</code> had a <code>max-width</code> or a <code>max-height</code>
set, without having a <code>width</code> or a <code>height</code> set.
</li>
<li>
flex layouts not allowing their content aligned in the same direction as itself to be shrunk.
This could lead to several elements overlapping each other.
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13674" target="_blank">Issue #13674</a>:
fixed URL fragments sometimes being considered part of the internal path.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/9864" target="_blank">Issue #9864</a>:
fixed a bug that would prevent functions with more than 3 arguments to be connected to a
<a href="classWt_1_1Signal.html" target="_blank">WSignal</a>.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.webtoolkit.eu/issues/13733" target="_blank">Issue #13733</a>:
ensured that when using any chart with an underlying <a href="classWt_1_1Dbo_1_1QueryModel.html" target="_blank">QueryModel</a>,
an out-of-bounds index will no longer be checked by default. This will no longer cause a crash.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13777" target="_blank">Issue #13777</a>:
It's now made sure that a change on <a href="classWt_1_1WStandardItemModel.html" target="_blank">WStandardItemModel</a>
cannot be performed on invalid indices, with a crash as a result.
Nor can this change be (incorrectly) propagated to a <a href="classWt_1_1WTreeView.html" target="_blank">WTreeView</a>.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14079" target="_blank">Issue #14079</a>:
corrected various functions of both <a href="classWt_1_1WAbstractItemModel.html" target="_blank">WAbstractItemModel</a> and
<a href="classWt_1_1WAbstractListModel.html" target="_blank">WAbstractListModel</a>.
Many of its implementations also received fixes.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/10954" target="_blank">Issue #10954</a>:
fixed
<a href="classWt_1_1WTime.html#" target="_blank">WTime</a> and
<a href="classWt_1_1WDateTime.html#" target="_blank">WDateTime</a> ignoring every 'h' and 'H' character
preceded by a single quote inside of the format.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13388" target="_blank">Issue #13388</a>:
prevented a segmentation fault from happening when authenticating a user with
<a href="classWt_1_1Auth_1_1Mfa_1_1TotpProcess.html" target="_blank">Auth::Mfa::TotpProcess</a>
while using a database not supporting transactions.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13740" target="_blank">Issue #13740</a>:
fixed a race condition in
<a href="classWt_1_1Auth_1_1OAuthProcess.html" target="_blank">Auth::OAuthProcess</a> that could in some
rare cases lead to a crash.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13714" target="_blank">Issue #13714</a>:
fixed a race condition in
<a href="classWt_1_1Http_1_1Client.html" target="_blank">Http::Client</a> that could lead to a crash if the
<a href="classWt_1_1Http_1_1Client.html#aad874b0869cb2202f6cd2b79e3956773" target="_blank">Http::Client::headersReceived()</a> signal was emitted while
the <code>Http::Client</code> was updating the body of the
<a href="classWt_1_1Http_1_1Message.html" target="_blank">Http::Message</a>.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Wt 4.12.2 also comes with the following improvements:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13770" target="_blank">Issue #13770</a>:
separated the default strings and templates in two different <code>xml</code> files. This should make it easier to localize the default strings.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13791" target="_blank">Issue #13791</a>:
made the focus go back to the last focused widget when a popup gets hidden.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.webtoolkit.eu/issues/13776" target="_blank">Issue #13776</a>:
the validity time of the link sent to:
<ul>
<li>validate a user's email address</li>
<li>reset a user's password</li>
</ul>
is now mentioned in both the email itself and the confirmation popup shown to the user.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14267" target="_blank">Issue #14267</a>:
added client URL in JavaScript error reports.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/14192" target="_blank">Issue #14192</a>:
made <a href="namespaceWt_1_1Auth_1_1Mfa.html#abe89fce88c4deaabe28085fd1c57742f" target="_blank">Auth::Mfa::validateCode()</a>
accept the next code as well as the current and previous codes.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13052" target="_blank">Issue #13052</a>:
delayed the generation of the internal path from text in
<a href="classWt_1_1WMenuItem.html" target="_blank">WMenuItem</a> until
<a href="classWt_1_1WMenuItem.html#a7ed10e994274a4033e546bb346a13488" target="_blank">WMenuItem::pathComponent()</a> is called.
This will stop potential warnings about loss of detail when setting the text of a WMenuItem if the internal path is not used.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13676" target="_blank">Issue #13676</a>:
resolved some Clang and GCC compiler warnings.
Additionally, fixed
<a href="classWt_1_1WFileDropWidget.html" target="_blank">WFileDropWidget</a> making the client update
whether it can accept files or not every time it was updated.
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Release 4.12.1 (October 16, 2025)</h2>
<p>Wt 4.12.1 is a patch release that addresses the following issues:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13867" target="_blank">Issue #13867</a>:
corrected a breaking default <code>script</code> value of the <code><debug-level></code> configuration. This has been corrected to <code>framework</code>.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13878" target="_blank">Issue #13878</a>:
made the access of bot user-agents more restricted. In case the incoming requests carry session-related information, the request is not processed, and a preemptive <code>403</code> status is returned.
Bot agents have their <a href="classWt_1_1WApplication.html" target="_blank">WApplication</a>
killed immediately after the response is served. Therefore a session does not carry meaning over multiple requests.
This resulted in bots being served the page on the path they requested, as a whole again.
While it was previously fixed that bots did not receive session-related parameters, older indexes may still contain them, which should be discouraged.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13768" target="_blank">Issue #13768</a>:
<a href="classWt_1_1Auth_1_1UpdatePasswordWidget.html">UpdatePasswordWidget</a>
no longer automatically logs a user in after a successful password reset.
This would otherwise allow logging in using only a single factor (email),
even when MFA is enabled.
This follows the
<a href="https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/cheatsheets/Forgot_Password_Cheat_Sheet.html#user-resets-password" target="_blank">OWASP guidelines</a>.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13669" target="_blank">Issue #13669</a>:
<a href="classWt_1_1WObject.html#a64ce31cadb378c4eba81224f43bf493d" target="_blank">setObjectName()</a> should now correctly set the
<code>data-object-name</code> attribute of the DOM element representing
<a href="classWt_1_1WLayout.html" target="_blank">WLayout</a>,
<a href="classWt_1_1WAbstractArea.html" target="_blank">WAbstractArea</a>,
<a href="classWt_1_1WTableRow.html" target="_blank">WTableRow</a>, and
<a href="classWt_1_1WTableColumn.html" target="_blank">WTableColumn</a>.
Additionally, flexbox-based sub-layouts should now correctly be updated when removing or adding a widget to it, or when update is called.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13720" target="_blank">Issue #13720</a>:
fixed
<a href="classWt_1_1WAnchor.html" target="_blank">WAnchor</a> and
<a href="classWt_1_1WAbstractArea.html" target="_blank">WAbstractArea</a> with no link losing their style classes.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.webtoolkit.eu/issues/13676" target="_blank">Issue #13676</a>:
fixed a potential race condition at the destruction of an
<a href="classWt_1_1Http_1_1Client.html">Http::Client</a>.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13508" target="_blank">Issue #13508</a>:
fixed validation style being applied to a
<a href="classWt_1_1WFormWidget.html" target="_blank">WFormWidget</a> on its first
rendering. Now, the validation is only applied once the user selects the widget, or when validation is called, using
<a href="classWt_1_1WFormWidget.html#a1bf85706ce6af9324706457bf2f9ca83" target="_blank">WFormWidget::validate()</a>.
Additionally, this introduces <a href="classWt_1_1WTheme.html#a93fb4b6d3e0e31498eded37fe4d77f8f" target="_blank">WTheme::loadValidationStyling()</a>.
This needs to be called for client-side validation to be available if extra JavaScript is necessary for it.
It is an optimization, that ensures not all JavaScript is immediately loaded for the theme.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13536" target="_blank">Issue #13536</a>:
fixed
<a href="classWt_1_1Dbo_1_1QueryModel.html" target="_blank">QueryModel</a> sometimes not completely filling it's row cache when loading rows at the end
of the table.
Additionally, fixed <a href="classWt_1_1WTableView.html" target="_blank">WTableView</a> scrolling sometimes not being synchronised with the server, leading to the wrong data being sent to the
client. This was more likely to occur when the connection with the server was slow.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13996" target="_blank">Issue #13996</a>:
added some tests for the encoding of HTML text, and made it more explicit that <a href="classWt_1_1WTemplate.html#a2d72efa9d932d6703e3ec012c960c259" target="_blank">WTemplate::bindString()</a> can lead to errors with it.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13464" target="_blank">Issue #13464</a>:
fixed an error happening when re-adding a
<a href="classWt_1_1WMenuItem.html" target="_blank">WMenuItem</a> to a
<a href="classWt_1_1WMenu.html" target="_blank">WMenu</a> if the load policy of the
<a href="classWt_1_1WMenuItem.html" target="_blank">WMenuItem</a> was set to
<a href="namespaceWt.html#af25a7f0bb1d50c5b8bc98c4db9080313" target="_blank">LoadPolicy::Lazy</a>.
Additionally,
<a href="classWt_1_1WMenu.html#afad580a15fd6ed88630c03068cce696b" target="_blank">WMenu::moveItem(int fromIndex, int toIndex)</a>

were added to make it easier to move items in
<a href="classWt_1_1WMenu.html" target="_blank">WMenu</a>s.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/12424" target="_blank">Issue #12424</a>:
fixed a crash that could happen when a
<a href="classWt_1_1WAbstractMedia.html" target="_blank">WAbstractMedia</a> widget was
added on the same page as a large
<a href="classWt_1_1WTableView.html" target="_blank">WTableView</a>.
Additionally, the rendering of the event handlers is now the same regardless
of whether or not nonces (see <a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13600" target="_blank">Issue #13600</a>) are enabled.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13530" target="_blank">Issue #13530</a>:
fixed <a href="classWt_1_1WDialog.html" target="_blank">WDialog</a> being always too small by <code>2px</code> when using both
<a href="classWt_1_1WBootstrap5Theme.html" target="_blank">WBootstrap5Theme</a> and
<a href="namespaceWt.html#aeb0e4f49ce4a28d8ce9b0c6005027876" target="_blank">Wt::LayoutImplementation::JavaScript</a>. This lead to scrollbars
being unnecessarily present.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13623" target="_blank">Issue #13623</a>:

<a href="classWt_1_1WApplication.html#a2a92457b9212cef4057cb54e56183967" target="_blank">WApplication::doJavaScript()</a>
with <code>afterLoaded = false</code> being sometimes executed twice on application startup if the call happened before a call to
<a href="classWt_1_1WApplication.html#ae88546224ed32cade783da188b145138" target="_blank">WApplication::require()</a>.
Additionally, fixed libraries being loaded before the JavaScript executed via
<a href="classWt_1_1WApplication.html#a2a92457b9212cef4057cb54e56183967" target="_blank">WApplication::doJavaScript()</a>

</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13361" target="_blank">Issue #13361</a>:
correct standalone Asio versioning checks, and Boost included Asio versioning checks.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13569" target="_blank">Issue #13569</a>:
most of the automatic application of the theme style are now delayed until the rendering of the widget.
This allows
<a href="classWt_1_1WWidget.html#ae1e28bff803905ca8625c1fb722f3d21" target="_blank">WWidget::setThemeStyleEnabled(false)</a>
to correctly disable the theme style for the widgets. Furthermore, if the theme changes
the DOM structure of the widget,
<a href="classWt_1_1WWidget.html#ae1e28bff803905ca8625c1fb722f3d21" target="_blank">WWidget::setThemeStyleEnabled(false)</a>
will now also stop that change from happening. The description of the function has
also been updated to describe more precisely what it does and what it does not do.
Additionally some cases of style classes being present several times in the same
widget are now fixed.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13683" target="_blank">Issue #13683</a>:
<a href="classWt_1_1WSlider.html" target="_blank">WSlider</a> now also
displays a color from the edge of the widget to the current slider handle position
in Bootstrap 5 theme, as it does in Bootstrap 3 and 2 themes.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13067" target="_blank">Issue #13067</a>:
fixed <a href="classWt_1_1WWebSocketRessource.html" target="_blank">WWebSocketRessource</a> never removing the closed
<a href="classWt_1_1WWebSocketConnection.html" target="_blank">WWebSocketConnection</a> from its memory.
Additionally, the <a href="classWt_1_1WWebSocketConnection.html" target="_blank">WWebSocketConnection</a> will now correctly
close when the request to close the connection is made by the client.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/11129" target="_blank">Issue #11129</a>:
fixed the <code>lang</code> HTML tag always being set to <code>en</code> for plain HTML sessions.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13602" target="_blank">Issue #13602</a>:
ensured that the items inside a
<a href="classWt_1_1WSuggestionPopup.html" target="_blank">WSuggestionPopup</a>
receive the correct styling when using
<a href="classWt_1_1WBootstrap5Theme.html" target="_blank">WBootstrap5Theme</a>.
</li>
</ul>
<p>Wt 4.12.1 also comes with the following improvements:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.webtoolkit.eu/issues/13509" target="_blank">Issue #13509</a>:
added the possibility to change the validator of a field in a
<a href="classWt_1_1Form_1_1Dbo_1_1FormView.html" target="_blank">Form::Dbo::FormView</a>
using <a href="classWt_1_1Form_1_1Dbo_1_1FormView.html#a7e21aa07469c8b8d02c3b6d824819979" target="_blank">Form::Dbo::FormView::setValidator()</a>.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13970" target="_blank">Issue #13970</a>:
killed sessions started from suspicious GET requests quicker. The GET request is considered suspect if they contain a <code>wtd</code> (session ID) in the URL for a new session.
This should prevent application from keeping a session that will not identify a regular client (but likely comes from a bot) alive for too long.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13391" target="_blank">Issue #13391</a>:
added the possibility to specify the square size and the error correction level of the
<a href="classWt_1_1Auth_1_1Mfa_1_1TotpQrCode.html" target="_blank">TotpQrCode</a> in the
<a href="classWt_1_1Auth_1_1AuthService.html" target="_blank">AuthService</a> using
<a href="classWt_1_1Auth_1_1AuthService.html#ab283a8ffd6373f79d01d379c3801d1f7" target="_blank">AuthService::setMfaQrCodeSquareSize()</a> and

</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13788" target="_blank">Issue #13788</a>:
the version of Bootstrap 5 bundled with Wt was updated to 5.3.8.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13601" target="_blank">Issue #13601</a>:
updated the <a href="https://fontawesome.com/" target="_blank">Font Awsome library</a>
bundled with Wt to version 4.7.0.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13367" target="_blank">Issue #13367</a>:
<p>
when <a href="classWt_1_1WPainter.html#ae36e5ce0c6a324ec83ebbc397a513202" target="_blank">WPainter::drawImage()</a> was called, the information needed to identify
the image was given via a string. Depending on what <a href="classWt_1_1WPaintDevice.html" target="_blank">WPaintDevice</a> is used to draw the image, the content of this string could differ.
Some devices expected a URI, others a file path to the image or a data URI. This is problematic when using a <a href="classWt_1_1WPaintedWidget.html" target="_blank">WPaintedWidget</a>
since you do not know in advance what <code>WPaintDevice</code> will be used. While this was kind of handled by assuming the file was in the docroot, this did not
give much control to the developer on how it should be handled, and could result in errors due to bad assumptions.
</p>
<p>
To solve this issue we introduce the <a href="classWt_1_1WAbstractDataInfo.html" target="_blank">WAbstractDataInfo</a> class. This class is used by painters
and paint devices to get the location information of the image required to draw it. While <code>WAbstractDataInfo</code> is an abstract class, two subclasses are available
in Wt:
<ul>
<li>
<a href="classWt_1_1WDataInfo.html" target="_blank">WDataInfo</a>, which is constructed by taking both the uri and the path to the file.
</li>
<li>
<a href="classWt_1_1WDocRootDataInfo.html" target="_blank">WDocRootDataInfo</a>, which stores the information about a file in the document root, and is
constructed using the file path relative to the docroot.
</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>
The methods:
<ul>
<li><a href="classWt_1_1WPainter_1_1Image.html#a54578ddf7c3c625ce0e32173a9f0e781" target="_blank">WPainter::Image::Image(string, int, int)</a></li>
<li><a href="classWt_1_1WPainter_1_1Image.html#a7a82ffdf4f9222bf44175ee0e7f62582" target="_blank">WPainter::Image::Image(string, string)</a></li>
<li><a href="classWt_1_1WPaintDevice.html#a4746873743ea66e4e5bd9adb51782095" target="_blank">WPaintDevice::drawImage(WRectF, string, int, int, WRectF)</a></li>
</ul>
are now deprecated in favor of versions that use <code>WAbstractDataInfo</code> in place of <code>std::string</code>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13435" target="_blank">Issue #13435</a>:
allows to configure the minimum number of sessions required to enforce the ratio of plain HTML session
versus Ajax sessions, that is used to prevent DoS. This can be configure via the
<code>min-session-for-dos</code> tag in the <code>wt_config.xml</code> file. The default minimum was
also raised from 20 to 100.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13478" target="_blank">Issue #13478</a>:
the login views in
<a href="namespaceWt_1_1Auth.html" target="_blank">Wt::Auth</a> are now more consistent.
Additionally, the <code>resend-email-verification</code> view is not missing anymore for default, or polished CSS themes.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13881" target="_blank">Issue #13881</a>:
added
<a href="classWt_1_1WResource.html#ae88f496ddf481a6a68301ca6059bdc15" target="_blank">WResource::setAlternativeBotUrl()</a> and
<a href="classWt_1_1WImage.html#ae774907487e84463f48acbbafb4235f8" target="_blank">WImage::setAlternativeBotUrl()</a> that allow
to set an alternative URL that will be served to clients that are detected as bot agents (see <a href="classWt_1_1WEnvironment.html#ad7dd42fefc4e318b6724c71b3a79b487" target="_blank">WEnvironment::agentIsSpiderBot()</a>).
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Release 4.12.0 (July 23, 2025)</h2>
<p>Wt 4.12.0 is a major release that introduces the following new features:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/7450" target="_blank">Issue #7450</a>:
added the option to use <code>std::filesystem</code> instead of <code>boost::filesystem</code> by setting the cache variable <code>WT_CPP17_FILESYSTEM_IMPLEMENTATION</code> to <code>std</code> instead of <code>boost</code>.
<br><strong>IMPORTANT:</strong> Accessing the last time a file was updated with <code>std::filesystem</code> before <code>C++20</code> may result in an imprecise time point. This can affect the <code>wthttp</code>'s <code>last-modified</code> timestamp.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/12881" target="_blank">Issue #12881</a>:
added
<a href="classWt_1_1WPasswordEdit.html" target="_blank">WPasswordEdit</a> which ought to replace
<a href="classWt_1_1WLineEdit.html#a27c9bc232bea0ab76ee266be3325a10e" target="_blank">WLineEdit::setEchoMode(EchoMode::Password)</a>
that is now deprecated. You can find examples on how to use this new class in the
<a href="https://www.webtoolkit.eu/widgets/forms/password" target="_blank">Widget Gallery</a>.
It is also now possible to set the input mode of any
<a href="classWt_1_1WLineEdit.html" target="_blank">WLineEdit</a> using
<a href="classWt_1_1WLineEdit.html#a5d772a843fb12447da0e295e6fae805b" target="_blank">WLineEdit::setInputMode()</a>.
This is especially important for mobile devices, where the input mode impacts the
keyboard that is shown to the user when the input field is focused.
<br><strong>IMPORTANT:</strong> it is now possible to combine multiple
<a href="classWt_1_1WValidator.html" target="_blank">WValidator</a>s into a single one,
using the new
<a href="classWt_1_1WStackedValidator.html" target="_blank">WStackedValidator</a>.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.webtoolkit.eu/issues/7228" target="_blank">Issue #7228</a>:
Wt now supports native HTML5 input types for <a href="classWt_1_1WDateEdit.html" target="_blank">WDateEdit</a> and <a href="classWt_1_1WTimeEdit.html" target="_blank">WTimeEdit</a>.
You can enable it by using <a href="classWt_1_1WDateEdit.html#a388105e077d60a7225564572cae51a93" target="_blank">WDateEdit::setNativeControl(true)</a> or
<a href="classWt_1_1WTimeEdit.html#a747741116664abc07f820122d05a535f" target="_blank">WTimeEdit::setNativeControl(true)</a>
for <code>WDateEdit</code> and <code>WTimeEdit</code> respectively. Both are set to false by default.
Native controls will use the locale of the browser to determine the format displayed to the client.
They have a better responsive design than Wt's widgets, often deferring to a pop-up on small screens for example.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/12789" target="_blank">Issue #12789</a>:
this feature allows you to force the tooltip from a
<a href="classWt_1_1WWebWidget.html">WWebWidget</a> to be shown by calling
<a href="classWt_1_1WWebWidget.html#a85571804f5b1c3b15e1ecafc4259bfcd" target="_blank">WWebWidget::showToolTip()</a>. Tooltips can still be shown when a
<a href="classWt_1_1WWebWidget.html">WWebWidget</a> is hovered over by the mouse with
<a href="classWt_1_1WWebWidget.html#a7f1b8701997fcc45dcf55bc3566c1380" target="_blank">WWebWidget::showToolTipOnHover()</a>. The latter is default behavior.
If both options are enabled, the tooltip on hover will not be shown. Rather the forcibly shown tooltip will remain visible throughout.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/12993" target="_blank">Parent Issue #12993</a>:
<ul>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/12995" target="_blank">Issue #12995</a>:
added the ability to add
<a href="classWt_1_1WLeafletMap_1_1Popup.html" target="_blank">WLeafletMap::Popup</a>s to the
<a href="classWt_1_1WLeafletMap.html" target="_blank">WLeafletMap</a>.
These popups can be added to any coordinate on the map, or to specific
<a href="classWt_1_1WLeafletMap_1_1Marker.html" target="_blank">WLeafletMap::Marker</a>s.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/12996" target="_blank">Issue #12996</a>:
added the ability to add
<a href="classWt_1_1WLeafletMap_1_1Tooltip.html" target="_blank">WLeafletMap::Tooltip</a>s to the
<a href="classWt_1_1WLeafletMap.html" target="_blank">WLeafletMap</a>.
These tooltips can be added to any coordinate on the map, or to specific
<a href="classWt_1_1WLeafletMap_1_1Marker.html" target="_blank">WLeafletMap::Marker</a>s.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/12994" target="_blank">Issue #12994</a>:
add the possibility to specify configuration for
<a href="classWt_1_1WLeafletMap_1_1LeafletMarker.html" target="_blank">WLeafletMap::LeafletMarker</a> by using
<a href="classWt_1_1WLeafletMap_1_1LeafletMarker.html#a94c811873bc9b067b75c4002b70fa0f3" target="_blank">WLeafletMap::LeafletMarker::setOptions()</a>.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/12997" target="_blank">Issue #12997</a>:
added signals to
<a href="classWt_1_1WLeafletMap_1_1AbstractMapItem.html" target="_blank">WLeafletMap::AbstractMapItem</a>
(this includes
<a href="classWt_1_1WLeafletMap_1_1Marker.html" target="_blank">WLeafletMap::Marker</a>s,
<a href="classWt_1_1WLeafletMap_1_1Popup.html" target="_blank">WLeafletMap::Popup</a>s,
and <a href="classWt_1_1WLeafletMap_1_1Tooltip.html" target="_blank">WLeafletMap::Tooltip</a>s)
that are emitted when a mouse event triggers on the map item.
</li>
</ul>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/4948" target="_blank">Issue #4948</a>:
the style of the collapse icon of collapsible <a href="classWt_1_1WPanel.html" target="_blank">WPanel</a>s
is now defined in CSS by styling the <code>Wt-collapse-button</code> style class.
<br><strong>IMPORTANT:</strong> the collapse icon will not be visible when using a custom theme that does not
define a styling for the <code>Wt-collapse-button</code> style class.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/12817" target="_blank">Issue #12817</a>:
allows custom implementation of the scope and the authorization endpoint of the
<a href="classWt_1_1Auth_1_1OAuthProcess.html" target="_blank">Auth::OAuthProcess</a> by overriding
<a href="classWt_1_1Auth_1_1OAuthProcess.html#a750aa9eaf024b9b50e6a6aeeecb65e68" target="_blank">Auth::OAuthProcess::scope()</a> and
<a href="classWt_1_1Auth_1_1OAuthProcess.html#a8dc8be6709ce345220a05714a9665dae" target="_blank">Auth::OAuthProcess::authorizationEndpoint()</a>.
This will allow developers to reuse the <a href="classWt_1_1Auth_1_1OAuthService.html" target="_blank">OAuthService</a> for near-identical authentication calls.
</li>
</ul>
<p>Wt 4.12.0 also fixes the following bugs:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13701" target="_blank">Issue #13701</a>:
checked the index's validity on changing the <a href="classWt_1_1WMenu.html" target="_blank">WMenu</a>, when using a
<a href="classWt_1_1WStackedWidget.html" target="_blank">WStackedWidget</a> to display content.
Unselecting the previous item uses a set <code>-1</code> index, which the <code>WStackedWidget</code> omitted to validate.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13699" target="_blank">Issue #13699</a>:
added the <a href="namespaceWt.html#a1709f88923d174d4a9d27271d3e30f28" target="_blank">Wt::TextFormat::None</a> option.
This allows for widgets to specify the <code>none</code> value in the <code>text-decoration</code> attribute.
This used to be unavailable, in lieu of <a href="classWt_1_1WFlags.html#a866ce1716c87b4c1f47b3021b0805ace" target="_blank">Wt::None</a>,
which rendered the "default" <code>text-decoration</code>, not allowing widget-specific control in case of CSS rules applying to the widget.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13553" target="_blank">Issue #13553</a>:
fixed an incorrect fallback in OpenID Connect claim parsing. A "true/false" string was not correctly converted to a boolean.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13712" target="_blank">Issue #13712</a>:
corrected the styling of <a href="classWt_1_1ItemDataRole.html#a4f39ded746ca62ea63ed222f2b852cf6" target="_blank">ItemDataRole::Link</a>
items in a <a href="classWt_1_1WTableView.html" target="_blank">WTableView</a>, in case
<a href="classWt_1_1WTableView.html#aef48a94558cded7916e33e8bbc69a89d" target="_blank">alternating row colors are enabled</a>.
</li>
</ul>
<p>Wt 4.12.0 also comes with the following improvements:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13703" target="_blank">Issue #13703</a>:
corrected a closing bracket, so that alignment is properly passed to <a href="classWt_1_1WToolBar.html#ac570073c5f31772125b3329465508318" target="_blank">WToolBar::addWidget()</a>.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.webtoolkit.eu/issues/13301" target="_blank">Issue #13301</a>:
added the possibility to handle all JavaScript errors inside Wt, also of scripts not directly related to Wt.
This can be done by setting the new <code>debug-level</code> option in the <code>wt_config.xml</code> file to <code>all</code>.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/11272" target="_blank">Parent Issue #11272</a>:
<ul>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/11272" target="_blank">Issue #11272</a>:
add support for TinyMCE 5, 6 and 7. Wt now assumes TinyMCE 6 is used by default instead of TinyMCE 3,
and the TinyMCE version bundled in Wt's Windows binaries has been updated to TinyMCE 6.
<br><strong>IMORTANT:</strong> TinyMCE 8 should work as well, but may require a license key.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/11249" target="_blank">Issue #11249</a>:
it is now possible to set placeholder text in
<a href="classWt_1_1WTextEdit.html" target="_blank">WTextEdit</a> when using TinyMCE 5 or higher.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/11267" target="_blank">Issue #11267</a>:
it is now possible to change the readonly state of a
<a href="classWt_1_1WTextEdit.html" target="_blank">WTextEdit</a> when using TinyMCE 5 or higher.
</li>
</ul>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/12801" target="_blank">Issue #12801</a>:
ensured that calling <a href="classWt_1_1WLeafletMap.html#a9263f7ce85484a91034c39484c68fda5" target="_blank">WLeafletMap::removeMarker()</a>
and <a href="classWt_1_1WLeafletMap.html#a1d75431893349d8b9d707a0cdb1d41ec" target="_blank">WLeafletMap::addMarker()</a> using the same
<code>unique_ptr<Marker></code>, and performing changes to it will result in the update taking place.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13163" target="_blank">Issue #13163</a>:
improve the way touch selection works for
<a href="classWt_1_1WTableView.html" target="_blank">WTableView</a>. The selection of a single element will now
happen only after the user stopped touching the screen, to avoid selection happening while scrolling slowly.
Also, selection of multiple elements will now be cancel when moving the finger. This will avoid selection of
multiple elements happening while zooming.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13711" target="_blank">Issue #13711</a>:
removed the usage of URLs ending with '.'. These were sometimes (not for all requests) found in case no path
information was present, indicating the root.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13700" target="_blank">Issue #13700</a>:
installed the generated PDB files next to the DLLs on Windows (shared) builds.
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Release 4.11.4 (April 3, 2025)</h2>

Wt 4.11.4 is a patch release that addresses the following issues:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13600" target="_blank">Issue #13600</a>:
fixed CSP (Content Security Policy) violations in case of <code>use-script-nonce</code> being enabled, for
<a href="classWt_1_1WAnchor.html" target="_blank">WAnchor</a> and
<a href="classWt_1_1WAbstractArea.html" target="_blank">WAbstractArea</a> without a link. The default browser behavior is now disabled on all events
coming from those widgets as long as they have no link, and their href attribute is set to <code>#</code>.
Additionally, fixed
<a href="classWt_1_1WAbstractArea.html" target="_blank">WAbstractArea</a> sometimes trying to use it's href to send click event when ajax
was available.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13542" target="_blank">Issue #13542</a>:
fixed the <code>--accesslog</code> option having no effect. The description of this option
was also updated to reflect its actual behavior. Additionally, access logs now have
their own type ("access") instead of the generic "info" type. These logs now also have a format more consistent with other logs.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13376" target="_blank">Issue #13376</a>:
fixed an issue where attempting to hide a
<a href="classWt_1_1WPopupMenu.html" target="_blank">WPopupMenu</a>
would sometimes be display the popup at the bottom of the page instead of actually hiding the popup.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13567" target="_blank">Issue #13567</a>:
fixed the handling of <code>SessionProcess::read()</code>, such that it is always called on existing asio context.
This was an edge-case when using <code>dedicated-process</code> mode.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13585" target="_blank">Issue #13585</a>:
resolved a segfault when a <a href="classWt_1_1WMenu.html" target="_blank">WMenu</a>
would be selected. The selection would happen based on the internal path, with the item having no content, but having a submenu (using
<a href="classWt_1_1WMenu.html#a792efe0a20114142b568a3e0f25dbcb2" target="_blank">WMenu::addMenu()</a>).
Additionally, the <a href="classWt_1_1WStackedWidget.html#a8342aac06b58cdedb7b1f43132673cb8" target="_blank">currentWidgetChanged()</a>
signal now only emits once if the <a href="classWt_1_1WStackedWidget.html" target="_blank">WStackedWidget</a>'s
content has changed.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13621" target="_blank">Issue #13621</a>:
ensured that <code>thirdparty/qrcodegen/QrCode.hpp</code> is installed in the include directory, and that the <code>TotpQrCode</code> symbol is exported.
This allows developers to use the <a href="classWt_1_1Auth_1_1Mfa_1_1TotpQrCode.html" target="_blank">Auth::Mfa::TotpQrCode</a> class in their own code.
Additionally, <a href="classWt_1_1Auth_1_1Mfa_1_1TotpQrCode.html#a59c9cdfce092a5385daf010fceb3361e" target="_blank">Auth::Mfa::TotpQrCode::formatKey()</a> is now public.
This allows developers to retrieve correct URI, which could be shown to end users, and allow them to copy it to a password manager.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13631" target="_blank">Issue #13631</a>:
added the "Logout"/"Back" button from <a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13392" target="_blank">Issue #13392</a>
to the <a href="classWt_1_1WBootstrap3Theme.html" target="_blank">WBootstrap3Theme</a> as well.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13626" target="_blank">Issue #13626</a>:
ensured that <a href="classWt_1_1Auth_1_1AuthWidget.html#a7e64d84a1717f437fa9a32d5901ca411" target="_blank">Auth::AuthWidget::processEnvironment()</a> will also process the MFA environment.
This results in MFA tokens being processed before the authentication widget is rendered.
</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13550" target="_blank">Issue #13550</a>:
resolved an issue that would change the href of internal path links in
<a href="classWt_1_1WTemplate.html" target="_blank">WTemplate</a> or
<a href="classWt_1_1WText.html" target="_blank">WText</a> to the current
internal path if internal path encoding was enabled.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13511" target="_blank">Issue #13511</a>:
fixed a bug where a
<a href="classWt_1_1WPushButton.html" target="_blank">WPushButton</a> rendered as an anchor
with the <a href="classWt_1_1WBootstrap5Theme" target="_blank">WBootstrap5Theme</a>,
would sometimes change its class property to a <code>dropdown-item</code> on update.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://redmine.emweb.be/issues/13373" target="_blank">Issue #13373</a>:
resolved an issue where
<a href="classWt_1_1WPaintedWidget.html" target="_blank">WPaintedWidget</a> would not be updated when
