5 | INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.8.x | |
6 | ================================ | |
7 | ||
8 | Unicode-related changes | |
9 | ----------------------- | |
10 | ||
11 | The biggest changes in wxWidgets 3.0 are the changes due to the merge of the | |
12 | old ANSI and Unicode build modes in a single build. See the Unicode overview | |
13 | in the manual for more details but here are the most important incompatible | |
14 | changes: | |
15 | ||
16 | - Many wxWidgets functions taking "const wxChar *" have been changed to take | |
17 | either "const wxString&" so that they accept both Unicode and ANSI strings. | |
18 | and the argument can't be NULL or "const char *" if the strings are always | |
19 | ANSI but may be NULL. This change is normally backwards compatible except: | |
20 | ||
21 | a) Virtual functions: derived classes versions must be modified to take | |
22 | "const wxString&" as well to make sure that they continue to override the | |
23 | base class version. | |
24 | ||
25 | b) Passing NULL as argument: as NULL can't be unambiguously converted to | |
26 | wxString, in many cases code using it won't compile any more and NULL | |
27 | should be replaced with an empty string. | |
28 | ||
29 | ||
30 | - Some structure fields which used to be of type "const wxChar *" (such as | |
31 | wxCmdLineEntryDesc::shortName, longName and description fields) are now of | |
32 | type "const char *", you need to remove wxT() or _T() around the values used | |
33 | to initialize them (which should normally always be ASCII). | |
34 | ||
35 | - wxIPC classes didn't work correctly in Unicode build before, this was fixed | |
36 | but at a price of breaking backwards compatibility: many methods which used | |
37 | to work with "wxChar *" before use "void *" now (some int parameters were | |
38 | also changed to size_t). While wxIPC_TEXT can still be used to transfer 7 | |
39 | bit text, the new wxIPC_UTF8TEXT format is used for transferring wxStrings. | |
40 | ||
41 | ||
42 | wxODBC and contrib libraries removal | |
43 | ------------------------------------ | |
44 | ||
45 | wxODBC library was unmaintained since several years and we couldn't continue | |
46 | supporting it any longer so it was removed. Please use any of the other open | |
47 | source ODBC libraries in the future projects. | |
48 | ||
49 | Also the "applet", "deprecated", "fl", "mmedia" and "plot" contrib libraries | |
50 | were removed as they were unmaintained and broken since several years. | |
51 | The "gizmos", "ogl", "net" and "foldbar" contribs have been moved to | |
52 | wxCode (see http://wxcode.sourceforge.net/complist.php); they are now | |
53 | open for futher development by volunteers. | |
54 | ||
55 | The "stc" and "svg" contribs instead have been moved respectively into a new | |
56 | "official" library stc and in the core lib. | |
57 | ||
58 | ||
59 | Changes in behaviour not resulting in compilation errors, please read this! | |
60 | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |
61 | ||
62 | - Default location of wxFileConfig files has changed under Windows, you will | |
63 | need to update your code if you access these files directly. | |
64 | ||
65 | - wxWindow::IsEnabled() now returns false if a window parent (and not | |
66 | necessarily the window itself) is disabled, new function IsThisEnabled() | |
67 | with the same behaviour as old IsEnabled() was added. | |
68 | ||
69 | - Generating wxNavigationKeyEvent events doesn't work any more under wxGTK (and | |
70 | other platforms in the future), use wxWindow::Navigate() or NavigateIn() | |
71 | instead. | |
72 | ||
73 | - Sizers distribute only the extra space between the stretchable items | |
74 | according to their proportions and not all available space. We believe the | |
75 | new behaviour corresponds better to user expectations but if you did rely | |
76 | on the old behaviour you will have to update your code to set the minimal | |
77 | sizes of the sizer items to be in the same proportion as the items | |
78 | proportions to return to the old behaviour. | |
79 | ||
80 | - wxWindow::Freeze/Thaw() are not virtual any more, if you overrode them in | |
81 | your code you need to override DoFreeze/Thaw() instead now. | |
82 | ||
83 | ||
84 | Changes in behaviour which may result in compilation errors | |
85 | ----------------------------------------------------------- | |
86 | ||
87 | - WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_4 doesn't exist any more, please update your code if | |
88 | you still relied on features deprecated since version 2.4 | |
89 | ||
90 | - wxDC classes hierarchy has changed, if you derived any classes from wxDC you | |
91 | need to review them as wxDC doesn't have any virtual methods any longer and | |
92 | uses delegation instead of inheritance to present different behaviours. | |
93 | ||
94 | - Return type of wxString::operator[] and wxString::iterator::operator* is no | |
95 | longer wxChar (i.e. char or wchar_t), but wxUniChar. This is not a problem | |
96 | in vast majority of cases because of conversion operators, but it can break | |
97 | code that depends on the result being wxChar. | |
98 | ||
99 | - The value returned by wxString::c_str() cannot be casted to non-const char* | |
100 | or wchar_t* anymore. The solution is to use newly added wxString methods | |
101 | char_str() (which returns a buffer convertible to char*) or wchar_str() | |
102 | (which returns a buffer convertible to wchar_t*). These methods are | |
103 | available in wxWidgets 2.8 series beginning with 2.8.4 as well. | |
104 | ||
105 | - The value returned by wxString::operator[] or wxString::iterator cannot be | |
106 | used in switch statements anymore, because it's a class instance. Code like | |
107 | this won't compile: | |
108 | switch (str[i]) { ... } | |
109 | and has to be replaced with this: | |
110 | switch (str[i].GetValue()) { ... } | |
111 | ||
112 | - Return type of wxString::c_str() is now wxCStrData struct and not | |
113 | const wxChar*. wxCStrData is implicitly convertible to const char* and | |
114 | const wchar_t*, so this only presents a problem if the compiler cannot | |
115 | convert the type. In particular, Borland C++ and DigitalMars compilers | |
116 | don't correctly convert operator?: operands to the same type and fail with | |
117 | compilation error instead. This can be worked around by explicitly casting | |
118 | to const wxChar*: | |
119 | wxLogError(_("error: %s"), !err.empty() ? (const wxChar*)err.c_str() : "") | |
120 | ||
121 | - wxCtime() and wxAsctime() return char*; this is incompatible with Unicode | |
122 | build in wxWidgets 2.8 that returned wchar_t*. | |
123 | ||
124 | - DigitalMars compiler has a bug that prevents it from using | |
125 | wxUniChar::operator bool in conditions and it erroneously reports type | |
126 | conversion ambiguity in expressions such as this: | |
127 | for ( wxString::const_iterator p = s.begin(); *p; ++p ) | |
128 | This can be worked around by explicitly casting to bool: | |
129 | for ( wxString::const_iterator p = s.begin(); (bool)*p; ++p ) | |
130 | ||
131 | - Virtual wxHtmlParser::AddText() takes wxString, not wxChar*, argument now. | |
132 | ||
133 | - Functions that took wxChar* arguments that could by NULL in wxWidgets 2.8. | |
134 | are deprecated and passing NULL to them won't compile anymore, wxEmptyString | |
135 | must be used instead. | |
136 | ||
137 | - wxTmemxxx() functions take either wxChar* or char*, not void*: use memxxx() | |
138 | with void pointers. | |
139 | ||
140 | - Removed insecure wxGets() and wxTmpnam() functions. | |
141 | ||
142 | - Removed global GetLine() function from wx/protocol/protocol.h, use | |
143 | wxProtocol::ReadLine() instead. | |
144 | ||
145 | - wxVariant no longer derives from wxObject. wxVariantData also no longer | |
146 | derives from wxObject; instead of using wxDynamicCast with wxVariantData you | |
147 | can use the macro wxDynamicCastVariantData with the same arguments. | |
148 | ||
149 | - wxWindow::Next/PrevControlId() don't exist any more as they can't be | |
150 | implemented correctly any longer because automatically generated ids are not | |
151 | necessarily allocated consecutively any more. Use GetChildren() to find the | |
152 | next/previous control sibling instead. | |
153 | ||
154 | ||
155 | Deprecated methods and their replacements | |
156 | ----------------------------------------- | |
157 | ||
158 | - wxCreateGreyedImage() deprecated, use wxImage::ConvertToGreyscale() instead. | |
159 | - wxString::GetWriteBuf() and UngetWriteBuf() deprecated, using wxStringBuffer | |
160 | or wxStringBufferLength instead. | |
161 | - wxDIRCTRL_SHOW_FILTERS style is deprecated, filters are alwsys shown if | |
162 | specified so this style should simply be removed | |
163 | - wxDocManager::MakeDefaultName() replaced by MakeNewDocumentName() and | |
164 | wxDocument::GetPrintableName() with GetUserReadableName() which are simpler | |
165 | to use | |
166 | - wxXmlProperty class was renamed to wxXmlAttribute in order to use standard | |
167 | terminology. Corresponding wxXmlNode methods were renamed to use | |
168 | "Attribute" instead of "Property" or "Prop" in their names. | |
169 | - wxConnection::OnExecute() is not formally deprecated yet but new code should | |
170 | use simpler OnExec() version which is called with wxString argument | |
171 | - wxMenuItem::GetLabel has been deprecated in favour of wxMenuItem::GetItemLabelText | |
172 | - wxMenuItem::GetText has been deprecated in favour of wxMenuItem::GetItemLabel | |
173 | - wxMenuItem::GetLabelFromText has been deprecated in favour of wxMenuItem::GetLabelText | |
174 | - wxMenuItem::SetText has been deprecated in favour of wxMenuItem::SetItemLabel | |
175 | ||
176 | ||
177 | Major new features in this release | |
178 | ---------------------------------- | |
179 | ||
180 | - wxWidgets is now always built with Unicode support but provides the same | |
181 | simple (i.e. "char *"-tolerant) API as was available in ANSI build in the | |
182 | past. | |
183 | ||
184 | - wxWidgets may now use either wchar_t (UTF-16/32) or UTF-8 internally, | |
185 | depending on what is optimal for the target platform. | |
