4INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.2.x
5================================
6

VZ
7wxBase:
8
9- wxArray<T>::Remove(size_t) has been removed to fix compilation problems
10 under 64 bit architectures, please replace it with RemoveAt() in your
11 code.
12
19924e90
VZ
13- wxObject::CopyObject() and Clone() methods were removed because they
14 simply don't make sense for all objects
15
16- wxEvent now has a pure virtual Clone() method which must be implemented
17 by all derived classes, if you have user-defined event classes please
18 add "wxEvent *Clone() const { return new MyEvent(*this); }" line to them

VZ
22- the event type constants are not constants any more but are dynamically
23 allocated during run-time which means that they can't be used as case labels
24 in the switch()es, you must rewrite them to use if()s instead
25
26 You may also define WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_EVENT_TYPES to get the old behaviour
27 but this is strongly discouraged, please consider changing your codei
28 instead!

VZ
30- wxYES_NO is now wxYES | wxNO and the manifest values of both wxYES and wxNO
31 have changed (to fix some unfortunate clashes), please check your code to
32 ensure that no tests for wxYES or wxNO are broken: for example, the following
33 will *NOT* work any longer:
34
35 if ( flags & wxYES_NO )
36 ... do something ...
37 if ( flags & wxYES )
38 ... do something else ...
39
40- wxGLCanvas now derives directly from wxWindow, not wxScrolledWindow
41
42- wxGridCellAttrProvider class API changed, you will need to update your code
43 if you derived any classes from it
44
461f203c
VZ
45wxMSW:
46
47- build system changed: setup.h is not a static file in include/wx any more
48 but is created as part of the build process under lib/<toolkit>/wx/include
49 where <toolkit> is of the form (msw|univ)[dll][u][d]. You'll need to update
50 the include path in your make/project files appropriately.
51
bbed9595 52- child frames appear in the taskbar by default now, use wxFRAME_NO_TASKBAR
eead3ccb
VZ
53 style to avoid it, wxFRAME_FLOAT_ON_PARENT style is now obsolete and has no
54 effect
bbed9595 55
f6656ccb
VZ
56Unix ports:
57
58- You should use `wx-config --cxxflags` in your makefiles instead of
59 `wx-config --cflags` for compiling C++ files. CXXFLAGS contains CFLAGS
60 and the compiler flags for C++ files only, CFLAGS should still be used
61 to compile pure C files.

VZ
67
68- fixes to the command line parsing error and usage messages
