We can simplify things by serializing the dock size, which is the only information about them which is not recomputed by wxAUI itself when redoing layout, as part of the panes layout data. This is a bit inelegant because the same size is stored for all panes that are part of the same dock, but it makes writing serializers and deserializers significantly simpler, as they now only have to deal with one kind of objects, and so seems to be worth it, especially because with the previous approach we stored even more redundant data, with the dock direction, layer and row duplicated between the dock itself and all the panes contained in it. This change will also make it much simpler to serialize the layout of nested AUI managers, such as the one used by wxAuiNotebook, later.
About
wxWidgets is a free and open source cross-platform C++ framework for writing advanced GUI applications using native controls.
wxWidgets allows you to write native-looking GUI applications for all the major desktop platforms and also helps with abstracting the differences in the non-GUI aspects between them. It is free for the use in both open source and commercial applications, comes with the full, easy to read and modify, source and extensive documentation and a collection of more than a hundred examples. You can learn more about wxWidgets at https://www.wxwidgets.org/ and read its documentation online at https://docs.wxwidgets.org/

This version of wxWidgets supports the following primary platforms:
- Windows 7, 8, 10 and 11 (32/64 bit Intel and ARM64).
- Most Unix variants using the GTK+ toolkit (version 2.6 or newer or 3.x).
- macOS (10.10 or newer) using Cocoa under both amd64 and ARM platforms.

For building the library, please see platform-specific documentation under
docs/<port> directory, e.g. here are the instructions for
wxGTK, wxMSW and
wxOSX.
If you're building the sources checked out from Git, and not from a released version, please see these additional Git-specific notes.
