| 4 | INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.2.x |
| 5 | ================================ |
| 6 | |
| 7 | wxBase: |
| 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 | |
| 20 | All (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 | |
| 52 | wxMSW: |
| 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. |
| 58 | |
| 59 | - child frames appear in the taskbar by default now, use wxFRAME_NO_TASKBAR |
| 60 | style to avoid it, wxFRAME_FLOAT_ON_PARENT style is now obsolete and has no |
| 61 | effect |
| 62 | |
| 63 | - all overloads of wxDC::SetClippingRegion() combine the given region with the |
| 64 | previously selected one instead of replacing it |
| 65 | |
| 66 | Unix ports: |
| 67 | |
| 68 | - You should use `wx-config --cxxflags` in your makefiles instead of |
| 69 | `wx-config --cflags` for compiling C++ files. CXXFLAGS contains CFLAGS |
| 70 | and the compiler flags for C++ files only, CFLAGS should still be used |
| 71 | to compile pure C files. |
| 72 | |

| 74 | OTHER CHANGES |
| 75 | ============= |

| 119 | recursion any more |

| 121 | |
| 122 | wxGTK: |
