# Release Notes
## Version 3.2.0
The MiniGUI development team announces the availability of MiniGUI 3.2.0.
All users of MiniGUI are recommended strongly to use this version for new
MiniGUI apps. Please report any bugs and incompatibilities in
https://github.com/VincentWei/minigui.
### What's new in this version
* Support for 64-bit platform. The definitions of some types and APIs
changed.
* Eliminate all compilation warnings.
### Type changes
1. Handle types. All handle types, including `GHANDLE`, `HWND`, `HDC`, and so on,
are now defined as aliases of `PVOID` (`typedef void* PVOID`).
You may need to check your code to reflect this change.
2. Integer types:
* The type of `DWORD` now has the pointer precision. That is,
the size of `DWORD` will be 4 bytes on 32-bit platform, and 8 bytes on
64-bit platform.
* Similarly, `WPARAM` and `LPARAM` are now have the pointer precision.
* `WORD` and `SWORD` has a half of pointer precision. The size of these
two types is 2 bytes on 32-bit platform, and 4 bytes on 64-bit platform.
3. New integer types:
* `DWORD32` and `SWORD32`: We introduce `DWORD32` and `SWORD32` types, which have
the size of 4 bytes on both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms. You should use these
types when reading/writing 32-bit integer from a binary files for the
portibility. Of course, you can still use Uint8, Uint16, Uint32, and Uint64 types.
* `LRESULT`: this type is defined for window callback procedure, and it has
the pointer precision.
### API changes
### Configuration option changes
## Version 3.0.13
