VZ

9 Notice that these changes are described in more details in
10 the "Changes Since wxWidgets 2.8" section of the manual,
11 please read it if the explanation here is too cryptic.

14Unicode-related changes
15-----------------------
16
17The biggest changes in wxWidgets 3.0 are the changes due to the merge of the
18old ANSI and Unicode build modes in a single build. See the Unicode overview
19in the manual for more details but here are the most important incompatible
20changes:
21
22- Many wxWidgets functions taking "const wxChar *" have been changed to take
3dac8f8a
VS
23 either "const wxString&" (so that they accept both Unicode and ANSI strings;
24 the argument can't be NULL anymore in this case) or "const char *" (if the
e0e7a341
VS
25 strings are always ANSI; may still be NULL). This change is normally
26 backwards compatible except:
4baf7800
VZ
27
28 a) Virtual functions: derived classes versions must be modified to take
29 "const wxString&" as well to make sure that they continue to override the
30 base class version.
31
32 b) Passing NULL as argument: as NULL can't be unambiguously converted to
33 wxString, in many cases code using it won't compile any more and NULL
0d5ab92f
VZ
34 should be replaced with an empty string.
35
36
37- Some structure fields which used to be of type "const wxChar *" (such as
38 wxCmdLineEntryDesc::shortName, longName and description fields) are now of
39 type "const char *", you need to remove wxT() or _T() around the values used
40 to initialize them (which should normally always be ASCII).
e6d4038a 41
50c549b9
VZ
42- wxIPC classes didn't work correctly in Unicode build before, this was fixed
43 but at a price of breaking backwards compatibility: many methods which used
44 to work with "wxChar *" before use "void *" now (some int parameters were
45 also changed to size_t). While wxIPC_TEXT can still be used to transfer 7
46 bit text, the new wxIPC_UTF8TEXT format is used for transferring wxStrings.
f01a77c7
VZ
47 Also notice that connection classes should change the parameter types of
48 their overridden OnExecute() or override a more convenient OnExec() instead.

51wxODBC and contrib libraries removal
52------------------------------------
1e6b2edf
VZ
53
54wxODBC library was unmaintained since several years and we couldn't continue
55supporting it any longer so it was removed. Please use any of the other open
56source ODBC libraries in the future projects.
57
6f67af05
FM
58Also the "applet", "deprecated", "fl", "mmedia" and "plot" contrib libraries
59were removed as they were unmaintained and broken since several years.
60The "gizmos", "ogl", "net" and "foldbar" contribs have been moved to
61wxCode (see http://wxcode.sourceforge.net/complist.php); they are now
62open for futher development by volunteers.
63
64The "stc" and "svg" contribs instead have been moved respectively into a new
65"official" library stc and in the core lib.

68Changes in behaviour not resulting in compilation errors, please read this!
69---------------------------------------------------------------------------
70
466e87bd
VZ
71- Default location of wxFileConfig files has changed under Windows, you will
72 need to update your code if you access these files directly.
73
47a8a4d5
VZ
74- wxWindow::IsEnabled() now returns false if a window parent (and not
75 necessarily the window itself) is disabled, new function IsThisEnabled()
76 with the same behaviour as old IsEnabled() was added.
77
5644933f
VZ
78- Generating wxNavigationKeyEvent events doesn't work any more under wxGTK (and
79 other platforms in the future), use wxWindow::Navigate() or NavigateIn()
80 instead.
81
89064717
VZ
82- Sizers distribute only the extra space between the stretchable items
83 according to their proportions and not all available space. We believe the
84 new behaviour corresponds better to user expectations but if you did rely
85 on the old behaviour you will have to update your code to set the minimal
86 sizes of the sizer items to be in the same proportion as the items
87 proportions to return to the old behaviour.
88
17808a75
VZ
89- wxWindow::Freeze/Thaw() are not virtual any more, if you overrode them in
90 your code you need to override DoFreeze/Thaw() instead now.
91
628e155d
VZ
92- wxCalendarCtrl has native implementation in wxGTK, but it has less features
93 than the generic one. The native implementation is used by default, but you
94 can still use wxGenericCalendarCtrl instead of wxCalendarCtrl in your code if
95 you need the extra features.
96
9c8116f8
VZ
97- wxDocument::FileHistoryLoad() and wxFileHistory::Load() now take const
98 reference to wxConfigBase argument and not just a reference, please update
99 your code if you overrode these functions and change the functions in the
100 derived classes to use const reference as well.
101
a6eac99d
VZ
102- Under MSW wxExecute() arguments are now always properly quoted, as under
103 Unix, and so shouldn't contain quotes unless they are part of the argument.
17808a75 104
c6e4d276
VZ
105- wxDocument::OnNewDocument() doesn't call OnCloseDocument() any more.
106
1d7b600d
VZ
107- If you use wxScrolledWindow::SetTargetWindow() you must implement its
108 GetSizeAvailableForScrollTarget() method, please see its documentation for
109 more details.

112Changes in behaviour which may result in compilation errors
113-----------------------------------------------------------
114
c1dc9f83
VZ
115- WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_4 doesn't exist any more, please update your code if
116 you still relied on features deprecated since version 2.4
117
ddc0ac4a
VZ
118- wxDC classes hierarchy has changed, if you derived any classes from wxDC you
119 need to review them as wxDC doesn't have any virtual methods any longer and
120 uses delegation instead of inheritance to present different behaviours.
121
c9f78968
VS
122- Return type of wxString::operator[] and wxString::iterator::operator* is no
123 longer wxChar (i.e. char or wchar_t), but wxUniChar. This is not a problem
124 in vast majority of cases because of conversion operators, but it can break
125 code that depends on the result being wxChar.
126
ef0f1387
VS
127- The value returned by wxString::c_str() cannot be casted to non-const char*
128 or wchar_t* anymore. The solution is to use newly added wxString methods
129 char_str() (which returns a buffer convertible to char*) or wchar_str()
130 (which returns a buffer convertible to wchar_t*). These methods are
131 available in wxWidgets 2.8 series beginning with 2.8.4 as well.
132
c9f78968
VS
133- The value returned by wxString::operator[] or wxString::iterator cannot be
134 used in switch statements anymore, because it's a class instance. Code like
135 this won't compile:
136 switch (str[i]) { ... }
137 and has to be replaced with this:
138 switch (str[i].GetValue()) { ... }
139
73ba5ab9
VZ
140- Return type of wxString::c_str() is now a helper wxCStrData struct and not
141 const wxChar*. wxCStrData is implicitly convertible to both "const char *"
142 and "const wchar_t *", so this only presents a problem if the compiler cannot
143 apply the conversion. This can happen in 2 cases:
a6eac99d 144
73ba5ab9
VZ
145 + There is an ambiguity because the function being called is overloaded to
146 take both "const char *" and "const wchar_t *" as the compiler can't choose
147 between them. In this case you may use s.wx_str() to call the function
148 matching the current build (Unicode or not) or s.mb_str() or s.wc_str() to
149 explicitly select narrow or wide version of it.
150
151 Notice that such functions are normally not very common but unfortunately
152 Microsoft decided to extend their STL with standard-incompatible overloads
153 of some functions accepting "const wchar_t *" so you may need to replace
154 some occurrences of c_str() with wx_str() when using MSVC 8 or later.
155
156 + Some compilers, notably Borland C++ and DigitalMars, don't correctly
157 convert operator?: operands to the same type and fail with compilation
158 error instead. This can be worked around by explicitly casting to const
159 wxChar*: wxLogError(_("error: %s"), !err.empty() ? (const wxChar*)err.c_str() : "")
c9f78968 160
52de37c7 161- wxCtime() and wxAsctime() return char*; this is incompatible with Unicode
5bce3e6f 162 build in wxWidgets 2.8 that returned wchar_t*.
52de37c7 163
c9f78968
VS
164- DigitalMars compiler has a bug that prevents it from using
165 wxUniChar::operator bool in conditions and it erroneously reports type
166 conversion ambiguity in expressions such as this:
167 for ( wxString::const_iterator p = s.begin(); *p; ++p )
168 This can be worked around by explicitly casting to bool:
169 for ( wxString::const_iterator p = s.begin(); (bool)*p; ++p )
170
d03dab2a 171- Virtual wxHtmlParser::AddText() takes wxString, not wxChar*, argument now.
5bce3e6f 172
73ba5ab9 173- Functions that took wxChar* arguments that could by NULL in wxWidgets 2.8
d38f70b2 174 are deprecated and passing NULL to them won't compile anymore, wxEmptyString
ab29bb87 175 must be used instead.
d38f70b2 176
de34bb08
VZ
177- wxTmemxxx() functions take either wxChar* or char*, not void*: use memxxx()
178 with void pointers.
179
d03dab2a
VS
180- Removed insecure wxGets() and wxTmpnam() functions.
181
6a4cbac1
VS
182- Removed global GetLine() function from wx/protocol/protocol.h, use
183 wxProtocol::ReadLine() instead.
17808a75 184
c8058a09
JS
185- wxVariant no longer derives from wxObject. wxVariantData also no longer
186 derives from wxObject; instead of using wxDynamicCast with wxVariantData you
187 can use the macro wxDynamicCastVariantData with the same arguments.
6a4cbac1 188
08f1c27c
VZ
189- wxWindow::Next/PrevControlId() don't exist any more as they can't be
190 implemented correctly any longer because automatically generated ids are not
191 necessarily allocated consecutively any more. Use GetChildren() to find the
192 next/previous control sibling instead.
193
500b128d
VZ
194- Calling wxConfig::Write() with an enum value will fail to compile because
195 wxConfig now tries to convert all unknown types to wxString automatically.
196 The simplest solution is to cast the enum value to int.
d03dab2a 197
e98e625c
VZ
198- Several wxImage methods which previously had "long bitmaptype" parameters
199 have been changed to accept "wxBitmapType bitmaptype", please use enum
200 wxBitmapType in your code.

202Deprecated methods and their replacements
203-----------------------------------------
204
13dd765c 205- wxCreateGreyedImage() deprecated, use wxImage::ConvertToGreyscale() instead.
7890307b
VS
206- wxString::GetWriteBuf() and UngetWriteBuf() deprecated, using wxStringBuffer
207 or wxStringBufferLength instead.
d0bc78e2
VZ
208- wxDIRCTRL_SHOW_FILTERS style is deprecated, filters are alwsys shown if
209 specified so this style should simply be removed
724b119a
VZ
210- wxDocManager::MakeDefaultName() replaced by MakeNewDocumentName() and
211 wxDocument::GetPrintableName() with GetUserReadableName() which are simpler
212 to use
288b6107
VS
213- wxXmlProperty class was renamed to wxXmlAttribute in order to use standard
214 terminology. Corresponding wxXmlNode methods were renamed to use
215 "Attribute" instead of "Property" or "Prop" in their names.
022a8a5a
VZ
216- wxConnection::OnExecute() is not formally deprecated yet but new code should
217 use simpler OnExec() version which is called with wxString argument
89c95a7b
FM
218- wxMenuItem::GetLabel has been deprecated in favour of wxMenuItem::GetItemLabelText
219- wxMenuItem::GetText has been deprecated in favour of wxMenuItem::GetItemLabel
a6eac99d 220- wxMenuItem::GetLabelFromText has been deprecated in favour of wxMenuItem::GetLabelText
89c95a7b 221- wxMenuItem::SetText has been deprecated in favour of wxMenuItem::SetItemLabel
82cddbd9
FM
222- wxBrush's, wxPen's SetStyle() and GetStyle() as well as the wxBrush/wxPen ctor now take
223 respectively a wxBrushStyle and a wxPenStyle value instead of a plain "int style";
224 use the new wxBrush/wxPen style names (wxBRUSHSTYLE_XXX and wxPENSTYLE_XXX) instead
225 of the old deprecated wxXXX styles (which however are still available).
628e155d
VZ
226- EVT_CALENDAR_DAY event has been deprecated, use EVT_CALENDAR_SEL_CHANGED.
227- EVT_CALENDAR_MONTH and EVT_CALENDAR_YEAR events are deprecated,
228 use EVT_CALENDAR_PAGE_CHANGED which replaces both of them.
229- wxCalendarCtrl::EnableYearChange() and wxCAL_NO_YEAR_CHANGE are deprecated.
fdaad94e
VZ
230 There is no replacement for this functionality, it is being dropped as it is
231 not available in native wxCalendarCtrl implementations.
232- wxDC::SetClippingRegion(const wxRegion&) overload is deprecated as it used
233 different convention from the other SetClippingRegion() overloads: wxRegion
234 passed to it was interpreted in physical, not logical, coordinates. Replace
235 it with SetDeviceClippingRegion() if this was the correct thing to do in your
236 code.
053ac76f 237- wxTE_AUTO_SCROLL style is deprecated as it's always on by default anyhow.

240Major new features in this release
241----------------------------------
242
9135f74e
VZ
243- wxWidgets is now always built with Unicode support but provides the same
244 simple (i.e. "char *"-tolerant) API as was available in ANSI build in the
245 past.
246
247- wxWidgets may now use either wchar_t (UTF-16/32) or UTF-8 internally,
248 depending on what is optimal for the target platform.
249
1c4293cb
VZ
250- New propgrid library containing wxPropertyGrid and related classes, many
251 enhancements to wxDataViewCtrl.
252
89ff7d64
VZ
253- Event loops, timers and sockets can now be used in wxBase, without GUI.
254
255- Documentation for wxWidgets has been converted from LaTex to C++ headers
256 with Doxygen comments and significantly improved in the process (screenshots
257 of various controls were added, more identifiers are now linked to their
258 definition &c). Any reports about inaccuracies in the documentation are
259 welcome (and due to using the simple Doxygen syntax it is now easier than
260 ever to submit patches correcting them! :-)
