5INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.6.x
6================================
7
8- wxFontData::GetColour() now returns a const colour.
9- wxDC objects can't be created directly now (this never worked, now it doesn't
10 even compile).
11- For all wxInputStreams, Eof() becomes true after an attempt has been made
12 to read _past_ the end of file.
13- wxCHECK family of macros now must be followed by a semicolon.
14- wxMBConv::cMB2WC() and cWC2MB() take size of the input buffer and return
15 length of the converted string in all cases now.
16- wxHtmlWindow::OnCellClicked() now returns bool.
17- wxHtmlCell::OnMouseClick() was deprecated and replaced with
18 wxHtmlCell::ProcessMouseClick(); old code overriding OnMouseClick() will
19 continue to work with WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_6, but should be rewritten to
20 use ProcessMouseClick().
21- wxHtmlCell::GetCursor() was deprecated and replaced with
22 wxHtmlCell::GetMouseCursor(); old code overriding GetCursor() will
23 continue to work with WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_6, but should be rewritten to
24 use GetMouseCursor().
25- wxHtmlCell::AdjustPagebreak() signature has changed, update your code if you
26 override it.
27- wxFontEnumerator::GetFacenames() and GetEncodings() now return arrays and
28 not pointers to arrays.
29- wxStaticBoxSizer now deletes the associated wxStaticBox when it is deleted.
30- Windows calling CaptureMouse() are now required to handle
31 the wxEVT_MOUSE_CAPTURE_LOST event.
32- SetDefaultItem() method was moved from wxPanel to wxTopLevelWindow
33- wxDialog::OnOK/OnCancel() don't exist any more, use SetAffirmative/EscapeId()
34- wxPathList doesn't derive from (deprecated) wxStringList any more
35- wxGLContext class has no 1:1 coupling to a wxGLCanvas class any more.
36 As a consequence, the class interface changed largely.
37 Code updates, if any are required at all, are easy to accomplish though.
