4INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.2.x
5================================
6
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
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
19
20All (GUI):
21
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!
29
30- wxDialog does not derive from wxPanel any longer - if you were using it in
31 your code, please update it. The quick fix for the most cases is to replace
32 the occurences of wxPanel with wxWindow.
33
34- wxYES_NO is now wxYES | wxNO and the manifest values of both wxYES and wxNO
35 have changed (to fix some unfortunate clashes), please check your code to
36 ensure that no tests for wxYES or wxNO are broken: for example, the following
37 will *NOT* work any longer:
38
39 if ( flags & wxYES_NO )
40 ... do something ...
41 if ( flags & wxYES )
42 ... do something else ...
43
44- wxGLCanvas now derives directly from wxWindow, not wxScrolledWindow
45
46- wxGridCellAttrProvider class API changed, you will need to update your code
47 if you derived any classes from it
48
49- wxImage::ComputeHistogram()'s signature changed to
50 unsigned long ComputeHistogram(wxImageHistogram&) const
51
52wxMSW:
53
54- build system changed: setup.h is not a static file in include/wx any more
55 but is created as part of the build process under lib/<toolkit>/wx/include
56 where <toolkit> is of the form (msw|univ)[dll][u][d]. You'll need to update
57 the include path in your make/project files appropriately. Furthermore,
58 xpm.lib is no longer used by wxMSW, it was superseded by the wxXPMDecoder
59 class. You'll need to remove all references to xpm.lib from your
60 make/project files.
61
62- child frames appear in the taskbar by default now, use wxFRAME_NO_TASKBAR
63 style to avoid it, wxFRAME_FLOAT_ON_PARENT style is now obsolete and has no
64 effect
65
66- all overloads of wxDC::SetClippingRegion() combine the given region with the
67 previously selected one instead of replacing it
68
69Unix ports:
70
71- You should use `wx-config --cxxflags` in your makefiles instead of
72 `wx-config --cflags` for compiling C++ files. CXXFLAGS contains CFLAGS
73 and the compiler flags for C++ files only, CFLAGS should still be used
74 to compile pure C files.
