wxWindows 2 Change Log
----------------------

INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.2.x
================================

wxBase:

- wxArray<T>::Remove(size_t) has been removed to fix compilation problems
  under 64 bit architectures, please replace it with RemoveAt() in your
  code.

- wxObject::CopyObject() and Clone() methods were removed because they
  simply don't make sense for all objects

- wxEvent now has a pure virtual Clone() method which must be implemented
  by all derived classes, if you have user-defined event classes please
  add "wxEvent *Clone() const { return new MyEvent(*this); }" line to them

All (GUI):

- wxGLCanvas now derives directly from wxWindow, not wxScrolledWindow

- wxGridCellAttrProvider class API changed, you will need to update your code
  if you derived any classes from it

- the event type constants are not constants any more but are dynamically
  allocated during run-time which means that they can't be used as case labels
  in the switch()es, you must rewrite them to use if()s instead

  You may also define WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_EVENT_TYPES to get the old behaviour
  but this is strongly discouraged, please consider changing your codei
  instead!

wxMSW:

- build system changed: setup.h is not a static file in include/wx any more
  but is created as part of the build process under lib/<toolkit>/wx/include
  where <toolkit> is of the form (msw|univ)[dll][u][d]. You'll need to update
  the include path in your make/project files appropriately.

- child frames appear in the taskbar by default now, use wxFRAME_NO_TASKBAR
  style to avoid it, wxFRAME_FLOAT_ON_PARENT style is now obsolete and has no
  effect

2.3.2
-----

New port: wxUniv for Win32/GTK+ is now included in the distribution.

wxBase:

- wxRegEx class added
- wxGetDiskSpace() function added (Jonothan Farr, Markus Fieber)
- wxTextBuffer and wxTextFile(wxStream) added (Morten Hanssen)
- more fixes to wxMBConv classes. Conversion to and from wchar_t now works with
  glibc 2.2 as well as with glibc 2.1. Unix version now checks for iconv()'s
  capabilities at runtime instead of in the configure script.

All (GUI):

- support for virtual list control added
- column images in report mode of the list control
- wxFindReplaceDialog added (based on work of Markus Greither)
- wxTextCtrl::SetMaxLength() added (wxMSW/wxGTK)
- polygon support in wxRegion (Klaas Holwerda)
- wxStreamToTextRedirector to allow easily redirect cout to wxTextCtrl added
- fixed bug with using wxExecute() to capture huge amounts of output
