-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.8.x
================================

Changes in behaviour not resulting in compilation errors, please read this!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Default location of wxFileConfig files has changed under Windows, you will
  need to update your code if you access these files directly.

- wxWindow::IsEnabled() now returns false if a window parent (and not
  necessarily the window itself) is disabled, new function IsThisEnabled()
  with the same behaviour as old IsEnabled() was added.

- Generating wxNavigationKeyEvent events doesn't work any more under wxGTK (and
  other platforms in the future), use wxWindow::Navigate() or NavigateIn()
  instead.

- Sizers distribute only the extra space between the stretchable items
  according to their proportions and not all available space. We believe the
  new behaviour corresponds better to user expectations but if you did rely
  on the old behaviour you will have to update your code to set the minimal
  sizes of the sizer items to be in the same proportion as the items
  proportions to return to the old behaviour.

Changes in behaviour which may result in compilation errors
-----------------------------------------------------------

- WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_4 doesn't exist any more, please update your code if
  you still relied on features deprecated since version 2.4

- Return type of wxString::operator[] and wxString::iterator::operator* is no
  longer wxChar (i.e. char or wchar_t), but wxUniChar. This is not a problem
  in vast majority of cases because of conversion operators, but it can break
  code that depends on the result being wxChar.

- The value returned by wxString::c_str() cannot be casted to non-const char*
  or wchar_t* anymore. The solution is to use newly added wxString methods
  char_str() (which returns a buffer convertible to char*) or wchar_str()
  (which returns a buffer convertible to wchar_t*). These methods are
  available in wxWidgets 2.8 series beginning with 2.8.4 as well.

- The value returned by wxString::operator[] or wxString::iterator cannot be
  used in switch statements anymore, because it's a class instance. Code like
  this won't compile:
     switch (str[i]) { ... }
  and has to be replaced with this:
     switch (str[i].GetValue()) { ... }

- Return type of wxString::c_str() is now wxCStrData struct and not
  const wxChar*. wxCStrData is implicitly convertible to const char* and
  const wchar_t*, so this only presents a problem if the compiler cannot
  convert the type. In particular, Borland C++ and DigitalMars compilers
  don't correctly convert operator?: operands to the same type and fail with
  compilation error instead. This can be worked around by explicitly casting
  to const wxChar*:
     wxLogError(_("error: %s"), !err.empty() ? (const wxChar*)err.c_str() : "")

- wxCtime() and wxAsctime() return char*; this is incompatible with Unicode
  build in wxWidgets 2.8 that returned wchar_t*.

- DigitalMars compiler has a bug that prevents it from using
  wxUniChar::operator bool in conditions and it erroneously reports type
  conversion ambiguity in expressions such as this:
     for ( wxString::const_iterator p = s.begin(); *p; ++p )
  This can be worked around by explicitly casting to bool:
     for ( wxString::const_iterator p = s.begin(); (bool)*p; ++p )

- virtual wxHtmlParser::AddText() takes wxString, not wxChar*, argument now.

Deprecated methods and their replacements
-----------------------------------------

- wxCreateGreyedImage() deprecated, use wxImage::ConvertToGreyscale() instead.
- wxString::GetWriteBuf() and UngetWriteBuf() deprecated, using wxStringBuffer
  or wxStringBufferLength instead.
- wxDIRCTRL_SHOW_FILTERS style is deprecated, filters are alwsys shown if
  specified so this style should simply be removed
- wxDocManager::MakeDefaultName() replaced by MakeNewDocumentName() and
  wxDocument::GetPrintableName() with GetUserReadableName() which are simpler
  to use
