8 | Changes in behaviour not resulting in compilation errors, please read this! |
9 | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |
10 | ||
11 | - For all wxInputStreams, Eof() becomes true after an attempt has been made | |
12 | to read _past_ the end of file. | |
13 | - wxFileName::DirExists() checks if the path of the file is a directory, not | |
14 | if the whole name is a directory | |

16 | - wxStaticBoxSizer now deletes the associated wxStaticBox when it is deleted | |
17 | - Windows calling CaptureMouse() are now required to handle the | |

21 | Changes in behaviour which may result in compilation errors | |
22 | ----------------------------------------------------------- | |

7f0d9d71 | 24 | - wxFontData::GetColour() now returns a const colour. |
e72d82bb | 25 | - wxDC objects can't be created directly now (this never worked, now it doesn't |
7f0d9d71 | 26 | even compile). |
7f0d9d71 | 27 | - wxCHECK family of macros now must be followed by a semicolon. |
eec47cc6 VZ |
28 | - wxMBConv::cMB2WC() and cWC2MB() take size of the input buffer and return |

bc55e31b VS |
30 | - wxHtmlWindow::OnCellClicked() now returns bool. |
31 | - wxHtmlCell::OnMouseClick() was deprecated and replaced with | |
32 | wxHtmlCell::ProcessMouseClick(); old code overriding OnMouseClick() will | |
33 | continue to work with WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_6, but should be rewritten to | |
34 | use ProcessMouseClick(). | |
88a1b648 VS |
35 | - wxHtmlCell::GetCursor() was deprecated and replaced with |
36 | wxHtmlCell::GetMouseCursor(); old code overriding GetCursor() will | |
37 | continue to work with WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_6, but should be rewritten to | |
38 | use GetMouseCursor(). | |
fd0bab43 | 39 | - wxHtmlCell::AdjustPagebreak() signature has changed, update your code if you |
7f0d9d71 | 40 | override it. |
6540132f | 41 | - wxFontEnumerator::GetFacenames() and GetEncodings() now return arrays and |
7f0d9d71 | 42 | not pointers to arrays. |
4334c3d5 | 43 | - SetDefaultItem() method was moved from wxPanel to wxTopLevelWindow |
684e5b95 | 44 | - wxDialog::OnOK/OnCancel() don't exist any more, use SetAffirmative/EscapeId() |
4f92e6ef | 45 | - wxPathList doesn't derive from (deprecated) wxStringList any more |
5d5d9ae8 RR |
46 | - wxGLContext class has no 1:1 coupling to a wxGLCanvas class any more. |
47 | As a consequence, the class interface changed largely. | |
48 | Code updates, if any are required at all, are easy to accomplish though. | |
