5 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.8.x
6 ================================
7
8
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.
12
13
14 Unicode-related changes
15 -----------------------
16
17 The biggest changes in wxWidgets 3.0 are the changes due to the merge of the
18 old ANSI and Unicode build modes in a single build. See the Unicode overview
19 in the manual for more details but here are the most important incompatible
20 changes:
21
22 - Many wxWidgets functions taking "const wxChar *" have been changed to take
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
25 strings are always ANSI; may still be NULL). This change is normally
26 backwards compatible except:
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
34 should be replaced with an empty string.
35
36 - Functions returning "const wxChar *" were changed as well. Mostly they now
37 return wxString which is then transparently convertible to either "const char
38 *" or "const wchar_t *" but in some cases, notably wxDateTime::ParseXXX(),
39 the returned string could be NULL and so a separate helper class is used. If
40 you obtain compilation errors because of this, you can always correct them by
41 explicitly assigning the function return value to a variable of wanted type.
42 A slightly more intrusive but better solution is to use ParseXXX() version
43 with wxString::const_iterator output parameter which simply returns bool to
44 indicate the parsing success.
45
46 - Some structure fields which used to be of type "const wxChar *" (such as
47 wxCmdLineEntryDesc::shortName, longName and description fields) are now of
48 type "const char *", you need to remove wxT() or _T() around the values used
49 to initialize them (which should normally always be ASCII).
50
51 - wxIPC classes didn't work correctly in Unicode build before, this was fixed
52 but at a price of breaking backwards compatibility: many methods which used
53 to work with "wxChar *" before use "void *" now (some int parameters were
54 also changed to size_t). While wxIPC_TEXT can still be used to transfer 7
55 bit text, the new wxIPC_UTF8TEXT format is used for transferring wxStrings.
56 Also notice that connection classes should change the parameter types of
57 their overridden OnExecute() or override a more convenient OnExec() instead.
58
59
60 wxODBC and contrib libraries removal
61 ------------------------------------
62
63 wxODBC library was unmaintained since several years and we couldn't continue
64 supporting it any longer so it was removed. Please use any of the other open
65 source ODBC libraries in the future projects.
66
67 Also the "applet", "deprecated", "fl", "mmedia" and "plot" contrib libraries
68 were removed as they were unmaintained and broken since several years.
69 The "gizmos", "ogl", "net" and "foldbar" contribs have been moved to
70 wxCode (see http://wxcode.sourceforge.net/complist.php); they are now
71 open for futher development by volunteers.
72
73 The "stc" and "svg" contribs instead have been moved respectively into a new
74 "official" library stc and in the core lib.
75
76
77 Changes in behaviour not resulting in compilation errors, please read this!
78 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
79
80 - Default location of wxFileConfig files has changed under Windows, you will
81 need to update your code if you access these files directly.
82
83 - wxWindow::IsEnabled() now returns false if a window parent (and not
84 necessarily the window itself) is disabled, new function IsThisEnabled()
85 with the same behaviour as old IsEnabled() was added.
86
87 - Generating wxNavigationKeyEvent events doesn't work any more under wxGTK (and
88 other platforms in the future), use wxWindow::Navigate() or NavigateIn()
89 instead.
90
91 - Sizers distribute only the extra space between the stretchable items
92 according to their proportions and not all available space. We believe the
93 new behaviour corresponds better to user expectations but if you did rely
94 on the old behaviour you will have to update your code to set the minimal
95 sizes of the sizer items to be in the same proportion as the items
96 proportions to return to the old behaviour.
97
98 - wxWindow::Freeze/Thaw() are not virtual any more, if you overrode them in
99 your code you need to override DoFreeze/Thaw() instead now.
100
101 - wxCalendarCtrl has native implementation in wxGTK, but it has less features
102 than the generic one. The native implementation is used by default, but you
103 can still use wxGenericCalendarCtrl instead of wxCalendarCtrl in your code if
104 you need the extra features.
105
106 - wxDocument::FileHistoryLoad() and wxFileHistory::Load() now take const
107 reference to wxConfigBase argument and not just a reference, please update
108 your code if you overrode these functions and change the functions in the
109 derived classes to use const reference as well.
110
111 - Under MSW wxExecute() arguments are now always properly quoted, as under
112 Unix, and so shouldn't contain quotes unless they are part of the argument.
113
114 - wxDocument::OnNewDocument() doesn't call OnCloseDocument() any more.
115
116 - If you use wxScrolledWindow::SetTargetWindow() you must implement its
117 GetSizeAvailableForScrollTarget() method, please see its documentation for
118 more details.
119
120 - Processing of pending events now requires a running event loop.
121 Thus initialization code (e.g. showing a dialog) previously done in wxApp::OnRun()
122 or equivalent function should now be done into wxApp::OnEventLoopEnter().
123 See wxApp::OnEventLoopEnter() and wxApp::OnEventLoopExit() docs for more info.
124
125
126 Changes in behaviour which may result in compilation errors
127 -----------------------------------------------------------
128
129 - WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_4 doesn't exist any more, please update your code if
130 you still relied on features deprecated since version 2.4
131
132 - wxDC classes hierarchy has changed, if you derived any classes from wxDC you
133 need to review them as wxDC doesn't have any virtual methods any longer and
134 uses delegation instead of inheritance to present different behaviours.
135
136 - wxWindow::ProcessEvent() (and other wxEvtHandler methods inherited by wxWindow)
137 has been made protected to prevent wrongly using it instead of correct
138 GetEventHandler()->ProcessEvent().
139 New ProcessWindowEvent() was added for convenience.
140
141 - Return type of wxString::operator[] and wxString::iterator::operator* is no
142 longer wxChar (i.e. char or wchar_t), but wxUniChar. This is not a problem
143 in vast majority of cases because of conversion operators, but it can break
144 code that depends on the result being wxChar.
145
146 - The value returned by wxString::c_str() cannot be casted to non-const char*
147 or wchar_t* anymore. The solution is to use newly added wxString methods
148 char_str() (which returns a buffer convertible to char*) or wchar_str()
149 (which returns a buffer convertible to wchar_t*). These methods are
150 available in wxWidgets 2.8 series beginning with 2.8.4 as well.
151
152 - The value returned by wxString::operator[] or wxString::iterator cannot be
153 used in switch statements anymore, because it's a class instance. Code like
154 this won't compile:
155 switch (str[i]) { ... }
156 and has to be replaced with this:
157 switch (str[i].GetValue()) { ... }
158
159 - Return type of wxString::c_str() is now a helper wxCStrData struct and not
160 const wxChar*. wxCStrData is implicitly convertible to both "const char *"
161 and "const wchar_t *", so this only presents a problem if the compiler cannot
162 apply the conversion. This can happen in 2 cases:
163
164 + There is an ambiguity because the function being called is overloaded to
165 take both "const char *" and "const wchar_t *" as the compiler can't choose
166 between them. In this case you may use s.wx_str() to call the function
167 matching the current build (Unicode or not) or s.mb_str() or s.wc_str() to
168 explicitly select narrow or wide version of it.
169
170 Notice that such functions are normally not very common but unfortunately
171 Microsoft decided to extend their STL with standard-incompatible overloads
172 of some functions accepting "const wchar_t *" so you may need to replace
173 some occurrences of c_str() with wx_str() when using MSVC 8 or later.
174
175 + Some compilers, notably Borland C++ and DigitalMars, don't correctly
176 convert operator?: operands to the same type and fail with compilation
177 error instead. This can be worked around by explicitly casting to const
178 wxChar*: wxLogError(_("error: %s"), !err.empty() ? (const wxChar*)err.c_str() : "")
179
180 - wxCtime() and wxAsctime() return char*; this is incompatible with Unicode
181 build in wxWidgets 2.8 that returned wchar_t*.
182
183 - DigitalMars compiler has a bug that prevents it from using
184 wxUniChar::operator bool in conditions and it erroneously reports type
185 conversion ambiguity in expressions such as this:
186 for ( wxString::const_iterator p = s.begin(); *p; ++p )
187 This can be worked around by explicitly casting to bool:
188 for ( wxString::const_iterator p = s.begin(); (bool)*p; ++p )
189
190 - Virtual wxHtmlParser::AddText() takes wxString, not wxChar*, argument now.
191
192 - Functions that took wxChar* arguments that could by NULL in wxWidgets 2.8
193 are deprecated and passing NULL to them won't compile anymore, wxEmptyString
194 must be used instead.
195
196 - wxTmemxxx() functions take either wxChar* or char*, not void*: use memxxx()
197 with void pointers.
198
199 - Removed insecure wxGets() and wxTmpnam() functions.
200
201 - Removed global GetLine() function from wx/protocol/protocol.h, use
202 wxProtocol::ReadLine() instead.
203
204 - wxVariant no longer derives from wxObject. wxVariantData also no longer
205 derives from wxObject; instead of using wxDynamicCast with wxVariantData you
206 can use the macro wxDynamicCastVariantData with the same arguments.
207
208 - wxWindow::Next/PrevControlId() don't exist any more as they couldn't be
209 implemented correctly any longer because automatically generated ids are not
210 necessarily allocated consecutively now. Use GetChildren() to find the
211 next/previous control sibling instead.
212
213 - Calling wxConfig::Write() with an enum value will fail to compile because
214 wxConfig now tries to convert all unknown types to wxString automatically.
215 The simplest solution is to cast the enum value to int.
216
217 - Several wxImage methods which previously had "long bitmaptype" parameters
218 have been changed to accept "wxBitmapType bitmaptype", please use enum
219 wxBitmapType in your code.
220
221 - wxGridCellEditor::EndEdit() signature has changed and it was split in two
222 functions, one still called EndEdit() and ApplyEdit(). See the documentation
223 of the new functions for more details about how grid editors should be
224 written now.
225
226 - wxEVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGE event renamed to wxEVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGED and shouldn't
227 be vetoed any more, use the new wxEVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGING event to do it.
228
229 - wxListCtrlCompare function used with wxListCtrl::SortItems() must now declare
230 its third parameter as wxIntPtr and not long (this allows passing pointers
231 to it under 64 bit platforms too).
232
233 - Global wxPendingEvents and wxPendingEventsLocker objects were removed.
234 You may use wxEventLoopBase::SuspendProcessingOfPendingEvents instead of
235 locking wxPendingEventsLocker now.
236
237
238 Deprecated methods and their replacements
239 -----------------------------------------
240
241 - wxCreateGreyedImage() deprecated, use wxImage::ConvertToGreyscale() instead.
242 - wxString::GetWriteBuf() and UngetWriteBuf() deprecated, using wxStringBuffer
243 or wxStringBufferLength instead.
244 - wxDIRCTRL_SHOW_FILTERS style is deprecated, filters are alwsys shown if
245 specified so this style should simply be removed
246 - wxDocManager::MakeDefaultName() replaced by MakeNewDocumentName() and
247 wxDocument::GetPrintableName() with GetUserReadableName() which are simpler
248 to use
249 - wxXmlProperty class was renamed to wxXmlAttribute in order to use standard
250 terminology. Corresponding wxXmlNode methods were renamed to use
251 "Attribute" instead of "Property" or "Prop" in their names.
252 - wxConnection::OnExecute() is not formally deprecated yet but new code should
253 use simpler OnExec() version which is called with wxString argument
254 - Various wxMenuItem methods were deprecated in favour of more consisently
255 named new versions:
256 . GetLabel() is now GetItemLabelText()
257 . GetText() is not GetItemLabel()
258 . GetLabelFromText() is now GetLabelText()
259 . SetText() is now SetItemLabel()
260 - wxBrush's, wxPen's SetStyle() and GetStyle() as well as the wxBrush/wxPen
261 ctor now take respectively a wxBrushStyle and a wxPenStyle value instead of a
262 plain "int style"; use the new wxBrush/wxPen style names (wxBRUSHSTYLE_XXX
263 and wxPENSTYLE_XXX) instead of the old deprecated wxXXX styles.
264 - EVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGE was deprecated, use EVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGED instead if you
265 don't veto the event in its handler and EVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGING if you do.
266 - EVT_CALENDAR_DAY event has been deprecated, use EVT_CALENDAR_SEL_CHANGED.
267 - EVT_CALENDAR_MONTH and EVT_CALENDAR_YEAR events are deprecated,
268 use EVT_CALENDAR_PAGE_CHANGED which replaces both of them.
269 - wxCalendarCtrl::EnableYearChange() and wxCAL_NO_YEAR_CHANGE are deprecated.
270 There is no replacement for this functionality, it is being dropped as it is
271 not available in native wxCalendarCtrl implementations.
272 - wxDC::SetClippingRegion(const wxRegion&) overload is deprecated as it used
273 different convention from the other SetClippingRegion() overloads: wxRegion
274 passed to it was interpreted in physical, not logical, coordinates. Replace
275 it with SetDeviceClippingRegion() if this was the correct thing to do in your
276 code.
277 - wxTE_AUTO_SCROLL style is deprecated as it's always on by default anyhow.
278 - wxThreadHelper::Create() has been renamed to CreateThread which has a better
279 name for a mix-in class, and allows setting the thread type.
280 - wxDos2UnixFilename, wxUnix2DosFilename, wxStripExtension, wxGetTempFileName,
281 wxExpandPath, wxContractPath, wxRealPath, wxCopyAbsolutePath, wxSplitPath
282 were deprecated in favour of wxFileName methods. See docs for more info.
283 - wxEvtHandler::TryValidator/Parent() are deprecated, override the new and
284 documented TryBefore/After() methods if you used to override these ones.
285 - wxGetMultipleChoices() is deprecated, use wxGetSelectedChoices() which has
286 the same signature but returns -1 and not 0 if the dialog was cancelled.
287 - building the windows which are placed inside wxStaticBoxes as siblings of the
288 wxStaticBox is still allowed but it's deprecated as it gives some problems
289 on some ports (e.g. wxGTK).
290 You should now create windows placed inside a wxStaticBox as children of
291 the static box itself.
292 - wxMouseState::{Left,Middle,Right}Down() were renamed to XXXIsDown() for
293 consistency with wxMouseEvent and the old names were deprecated.
294
295
296 Major new features in this release
297 ----------------------------------
298
299 - wxWidgets is now always built with Unicode support but provides the same
300 simple (i.e. "char *"-tolerant) API as was available in ANSI build in the
301 past.
302
303 - wxWidgets may now use either wchar_t (UTF-16/32) or UTF-8 internally,
304 depending on what is optimal for the target platform.
305
306 - New propgrid library containing wxPropertyGrid and related classes.
307
308 - Many enhancements to wxDataViewCtrl.
309
310 - Event loops, timers and sockets can now be used in wxBase, without GUI.
311
312 - Events can now be connected to any functor, not necessarily a method of
313 wxEvtHandler-derived class. The compile-time safety was also improved.
314
315 - Documentation for wxWidgets has been converted from LaTex to C++ headers
316 with Doxygen comments and significantly improved in the process (screenshots
317 of various controls were added, more identifiers are now linked to their
318 definition &c). Any reports about inaccuracies in the documentation are
319 welcome (and due to using the simple Doxygen syntax it is now easier than
320 ever to submit patches correcting them! :-)
321
322 - Support for persistent objects automatically saving and restoring their state
323 was added.

1925 - wxGetPowerType() and wxGetBatteryState() addition
1926 - wxSystemSettings::GetSystem*() members deprecated and replaced with
1927 wxSystemSettings::Get*()
1928 - wxWindowBase::DoGetBestSize now includes the difference (if any) between
1929 the client size and total size of the window. Code that sets the
1930 client size using the best size, or that added extra space to sizers
1931 to compensate for this bug may need to be changed.
1932 - Changed calculation of scrolling area to not clip away some bits
1933 due to a rounding error.
1934 - Changed GetVirtualSize() to return client size by default until
1935 SetVirtualSize() gets called. From then on it will only return that.
1936 - Various changes to how wxListCtrl and wxTreeCtrl react to right
1937 mouse clicks and left mouse click for starting a drag operation.
1938 - "Alt" key (VK_MENU) now results in WXK_ALT keyboard event, not WXK_MENU
1939 - wxFFile::ReadAll() now takes an optional wxMBConv parameter
1940 - wxCommandProcessor::MarkAsSaved() and IsDirty() added (Angela Wrobel)

1952 - wxSizer::Add/Insert etc. now returns pointer to wxSizerItem just added and this
1953 item remembers its wxRect area (Brian A. Vanderburg II)
1954 - wxBookCtrl renamed to wxBookCtrlBase, wxBookCtrl is reserved for most native
1955 book control (for now wxChoicebook for MSSmartphone, wxNotebook for others).
1956 Necessary event macros, types and styles mapped accordingly.
1957 - new wxBrush::IsHatch() checking for brush type replaces IS_HATCH macro
1958 - wxProgressDialog accepts smooth gauge again (wxPD_SMOOTH style)

1970
1971 - Added printing support by way of using libgnomeprint. The library
1972 now checks at runtime, if the library is installed and will use it

1976 - fixed wxFileDialog::SetWildcard()
1977 - native file dialog is now used if available (Zbigniew Zagorski)
1978 - implemented wxTextCtrl::Freeze() and Thaw(). The GtkTextBuffer
1979 is not a valid one during frozen state. Get a pointer to it right
1980 after wxTextCtrl creation if you really need to. (Mart Raudsepp)
1981 - Changed calls to GTK+ 2.4.x functions so that the code checks at
1982 runtime, which library version is installed so that these functions
1983 are only called with GTK+ 2.4.x installed and should yield linker
1984 errors otherwise.
1985 - wxTextCtrl text insertion efficiency fixed. (Mart Raudsepp)
1986 - Added wxRawBitmap support
1987 - Corrected Input method handler code (for Chinese etc.) and its

2175 -----
2176
2177 All:
2178
2179 - Hindi translation added (Dhananjaya Sharma)
2180 - Brazilian Portuguese translation added (E. A. Tacao)
2181 - wxDynamicCast() now uses static_cast<wxObject *> internally and so using it
2182 with anything not deriving from wxObject will fail at compile time (instead
2183 of run-time) now
2184 - when wxUSE_STL == 1 and STL provides quasi-standard hash_map/hash_set,
2185 wxHashMap/wxHashSet are just typedefs for them. This makes impossible
2186 to forward declare these classes.
2187
2188 All (GUI):
2189
2190 - wxHtmlWindow now delays image scaling until rendering,
2191 resulting in much better display of scaled images
2192 - Added UpdateSize to wxSplitterWindow to allow layout while hidden
2193 - implemented Freeze/Thaw() for wxGenericTreeCtrl (Kevin Hock)
2194 - support for KOI8-U encoding added (Yuriy Tkachenko)
2195 - The old wxADJUST_MINSIZE behaviour is now the default behaviour for
2196 sizer items that are windows. This means that GetAdjustedBestSize
2197 will now be called by default to determine the minimum size that a
2198 window in a sizer should have. If you want to still use the initial
2199 size (and not the BestSize) then use the wxFIXED_MINSIZE flag. When
2200 windows are added to a sizer their initial size is made the window's
2201 min size using SetSizeHints, and calls to wxSizer::SetItemMinSize
2202 are also forwarded to SetSizeHints for window items.
2203 - added wxRegEx::GetMatchCount()
2204 - it is now possible to display images in wxHtmlListBox
2205
2206 wxMSW:
2207
2208 - wxWindow::Freeze()/Thaw() can now be nested
2209 - Added wxSP_NO_XP_THEME style to wxSplitterWindow to switch off
2210 XP theming (some applications look bad without 3D borders)
2211 - wxMenuBar::GetLabelTop() doesn't include '&'s in the label any more
2212 - wxRegConf couldn't read global settings without admin privileges and didn't
2213 even try to do it by default -- now it does
2214 - wxTaskBarIcon must be explicitly destroyed now, otherwise the application
2215 won't exit even though there are no top level windows
2216 - wxFileName::GetModificationTime() works with opened files too now
2217 - wxDC::GetClippingBox() now works even for clipping regions created by Windows
2218 - fixed wxFileDataObject in Unicode build (Alex D)

2224
2225 wxMotif:
2226
2227 - removed wxMenuItem::DeleteSubMenu()
2228 - wxButtons use Motif default size, which is smaller than it used to be
2229 and closer to wxMSW/wxGTK look. This can be disabled by setting
2230 motif.largebuttons system option to 1 (see wxSystemOptions).
2231
2232 wxUniv/X11:
2233
2234 - implemented DrawRoundedRectangle() (clawghoul)
2235
2236 wxHTML:

2239 - <div> handling fix (Xavier Nodet)
2240

2242
2243 - fixed priorities of mailcap entries (David Hart)
2244 - added "wx-config --libs=std,<extra>" syntax (i.e. support for "std")
2245
2246 wxODBC:
2247
2248 - Full Unicode support is now available
2249 - BLOB support is working

2412 std::vector, wxList from std::list. In addition wxHashTable will be
2413 implemented in terms of wxHashMap.
2414 - Added wxList::compatibility_iterator. Can be used like wxNode* (except
2415 it can't be delete()d). It permits writing code which will work
2416 both with wxUSE_STL==1 and wxUSE_STL==0.
2417

2468 - Moved wxApp::SendIdleEvents and wxApp::ProcessIdle into common code.
2469 - wxWindow::OnInternalIdle is now used in all ports, and ensures that
2470 user OnIdle events do not interfere with crucial internal processing.

2473 DoUpdateWindowUI for taking appropriate wxUpdateUIEvent action.
2474 - Added functions to wxUpdateUIEvent: Set/GetMode, Set/GetUpdateInterval,
2475 CanUpdate, to assist with optimising update event frequency.
2476 - Added functions to wxIdleEvent: Set/GetMode, CanSend, to
2477 determine whether a window should receive idle events.
2478 - Added wxWS_EX_PROCESS_IDLE, wxWS_EX_PROCESS_UI_UPDATES window
2479 styles for use with conservative idle and update event modes.
2480 - send menu update events only when a menu is about to be used (MSW/GTK)
2481 - improved event processing performance (Hans Van Leemputten)
2482 - added wxMirrorDC class
2483 - printing improvements: GetPageInfo() gets called after the DC has
2484 been set and after OnPreparePrinting() has been called so it can
2485 report the number of pages accurately; doesn't try to set
2486 number of pages in print dialog, in common with other Windows apps;
2487 wxHTML easy printing's preview shows number of pages
2488 correctly; preview scrollbars are set correctly; keyboard navigation
2489 improved
2490

2542 - when using DLL, wxLocalFSHandler was not being exported
2543 - fixed problem with wxEvtHandler object not removed from wxPendingEvents
2544 - Windows XP manifest is now included in wx.rc; it is no longer necessary
2545 to ship .exe.manifest file with applications to support XP themes
2546 - wxLocale::Init no longer reports error if trying to set Unicode-only locale
2547 or if user's default locale is Unicode-only
2548 - improved border handling under Windows XP

2560 does not support all the features other ports do); refer to wxFileDialog
2561 documentation for a detailed explanation
2562 - implemented wxWakeUpIdle
2563 - for Motif 2.0, used the native combobox widget instead of the GPL'd

2584
2585 OLD CHANGES
2586 ===========
2587
2588 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.2.x
2589 ================================
2590
2591 Please take a few minutes to read the following list, especially
2592 paying attention to the most important changes which are marked
2593 with '!' in the first column.
2594
2595 Also please note that you should ensure that WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_2
2596 is defined to 1 if you wish to retain maximal compatibility with 2.2
2597 series -- however you are also strongly encouraged to try to compile
2598 your code without this define as it won't be default any longer in
2599 2.6 release.
2600
2601 NB: if you want to build your program with different major versions
2602 of wxWidgets you will probably find the wxCHECK_VERSION() macro
2603 (see the documentation) useful.
2604
2605
2606 wxBase:
2607
2608 ! wxArray<T>::Remove(size_t) has been removed to fix compilation problems
2609 under 64 bit architectures, please replace it with RemoveAt() in your
2610 code.
2611
2612 ! wxArray<T> macros have been changed to fix runtime problems under 64 bit
2613 architectures and as a side effect of this WX_DEFINE_ARRAY() can only be
2614 used now for the pointer types, WX_DEFINE_ARRAY_INT should be used for the
2615 arrays containing non-pointers.
2616
2617 - wxObject::CopyObject() and Clone() methods were removed because they
2618 simply don't make sense for all objects
2619
2620 - wxEvent now has a pure virtual Clone() method which must be implemented
2621 by all derived classes, if you have user-defined event classes please
2622 add "wxEvent *Clone() const { return new MyEvent(*this); }" line to them
2623
2624 - small change to wxStopWatch::Pause() semantics, please see the documentation
2625
2626 - unlikely but possible incompatibility: the definition of TRUE has changed
2627 from "1" to "(bool)1" (and the same thing for FALSE), so the code which
2628 could be erroneously compiled previously such as doing "return FALSE" from
2629 a function returning a pointer would stop compiling now (but this change
2630 is not supposed to have any effects on valid code)
2631
2632 - another minor change: wxApp::OnAssert() has a new "cond" argument, you
2633 must modify YourApp::OnAssert() signature if you were using it to override
2634 the default assert handling.
2635
2636 All (GUI):
2637
2638 ! the event type constants are not constants any more but are dynamically
2639 allocated during run-time which means that they can't be used as case labels
2640 in the switch()es, you must rewrite them to use if()s instead
2641
2642 You may also define WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_EVENT_TYPES to get the old behaviour
2643 but this is strongly discouraged, please consider changing your code
2644 instead!
2645
2646 ! wxDialog does not derive from wxPanel any longer - if you were using it in
2647 your code, please update it. The quick fix for the most cases is to replace
2648 the occurrences of wxPanel with wxWindow.
2649
2650 ! if you handle (and don't skip) EVT_KEY_DOWN, the EVT_CHAR event is not
2651 generated at all, so you must call event.Skip() in your OnKeyDown() if
2652 you want to get OnChar() as well
2653
2654 - in general, the key events sent for the various non ASCII key combinations
2655 have been changed to make them consistent over all supported platforms,
2656 please see the wxKeyEvent documentation for details
2657
2658 - wxYES_NO is now wxYES | wxNO and the manifest values of both wxYES and wxNO
2659 have changed (to fix some unfortunate clashes), please check your code to
2660 ensure that no tests for wxYES or wxNO are broken: for example, the following
2661 will *NOT* work any longer:
2662
2663 if ( flags & wxYES_NO )
2664 ... do something ...
2665 if ( flags & wxYES )
2666 ... do something else ...
2667
2668 - static wxWizard::Create() doesn't exist any more, the wizards are created
2669 in the same way as all the other wxWindow objects, i.e. by directly using
2670 the ctor
2671
2672 - wxGLCanvas now derives directly from wxWindow, not wxScrolledWindow
2673
2674 - wxGridCellAttrProvider class API changed, you will need to update your code
2675 if you derived any classes from it
2676
2677 - wxImage::ComputeHistogram()'s signature changed to
2678 unsigned long ComputeHistogram(wxImageHistogram&) const
2679
2680 - wxEvtHandler cannot be copied/assigned any longer - this never worked but
2681 now it results in compile-time error instead of run-time crashes
2682
2683 - WXK_NUMLOCK and WXK_SCROLL keys no longer result in EVT_CHAR() events,
2684 they only generate EVT_KEY_DOWN/UP() ones
2685
2686 - the dialogs use wxApp::GetTopWindow() as the parent implicitly if the
2687 parent specified is NULL, use wxDIALOG_NO_PARENT style to prevent this
2688 from happening
2689
2690 - several obsolete synonyms are only retained in WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_2 mode:
2691 for example, use wxScrolledWindow::GetViewStart() now instead of ViewStart()
2692 and GetCount() instead of Number() in many classes
2693
2694 - wxCmdLineParser does not use wxLog to output messages anymore.
2695 to obtain the previous behaviour, add
2696 wxMessageOutput::Set(new wxMessageOutputLog); to your program
2697 (you will need to #include <wx/msgout.h>)
2698
2699 wxMSW:
2700
2701 ! build system changed: setup.h is not a static file in include/wx any more
2702 but is created as part of the build process under lib/<toolkit>/wx
2703 where <toolkit> is of the form (msw|univ)[dll][u][d]. You'll need to update
2704 the include path in your make/project files appropriately. Furthermore,
2705 xpm.lib is no longer used by wxMSW, it was superseded by the wxXPMDecoder
2706 class. You'll need to remove all references to xpm.lib from your
2707 make/project files. Finally, the library names have changed as well and now
2708 use the following consistent naming convention: wxmsw[ver][u][d].(lib|dll)
2709 where 'u' appears for Unicode version, 'd' -- for the debug one and version
2710 is only present for the DLLs builds.
2711
2712 - child frames appear in the taskbar by default now, use wxFRAME_NO_TASKBAR
2713 style to avoid it
2714
2715 - all overloads of wxDC::SetClippingRegion() combine the given region with the
2716 previously selected one instead of replacing it
2717
2718 - wxGetHomeDir() uses HOME environment variable and if it is set will not
2719 return the programs directory any longer but its value (this function has
2720 never been meant to return the programs directory anyhow)
2721
2722 - wxHTML apps don't need to include wx/html/msw/wxhtml.rc in resources file
2723 anymore. The file was removed from wxMSW
2724
2725
2726 Unix ports:
2727
2728 ! You should use `wx-config --cxxflags` in your makefiles instead of
2729 `wx-config --cflags` for compiling C++ files. CXXFLAGS contains CFLAGS
2730 and the compiler flags for C++ files only, CFLAGS should still be used
2731 to compile pure C files.
2732
2733
2734 wxThread and related classes:
2735
2736 - The thread-related classes have been heavily changed since 2.2.x versions
2737 as the old code had many serious problems. This could have resulted in
2738 semantical changes other than those mentioned here, please review use of
2739 wxThread, wxMutex and wxCondition classes in your code.
2740
2741 ! wxCondition now *must* be used with a mutex, please read the (updated) class
2742 documentation for details and revise your code accordingly: this change was
2743 unfortunately needed as it was impossible to ensure the correct behaviour
2744 (i.e. absence of race conditions) using the old API.
2745
2746 - wxMutex is not recursive any more in POSIX implementation (it hasn't been
2747 recursive in 2.2.x but was in 2.3.1 and 2.3.2), please refer to the class
2748 documentation for the discussion of the recursive mutexes.
2749
2750 - wxMutex::IsLocked() doesn't exist any more and should have never existed:
2751 this is was unique example of a thread-unsafe-by-design method.
2752

3415 - Added repaint event handlers to wxFrame, wxMDIChildFrame.
3416
3417 General:
3418
3419 - wxLocale documented.
3420 - Added include filenames to class reference.
3421 - wxHelpController API changed: SetBrowser becomes SetViewer,
3422 DisplaySection works for WinHelp, help sample compiles under Windows
3423 (though doesn't display help yet).
3424
3425 Beta 4, February 12th 1999
3426 --------------------------
3427
3428 wxGTK:
3429
3430 - Miscellaneous fixes.
3431
3432 wxMSW:
3433
3434 - Makefiles for more compilers and samples; Cygwin makefiles
3435 rationalised.
3436 - Added VC++ project file for compiling wxWidgets as DLL.
3437
3438 wxMotif:
3439
3440 - Added OnEraseBackground invocation.
3441 - Added wxRETAINED implementation for wxScrolledWindow.
3442 - Cured scrolling display problem by adding XmUpdateDisplay.
3443 - Tried to make lex-ing in the makefile more generic (command line
3444 syntax should apply to both lex and flex).
3445 - Changed file selector colours for consistency (except for buttons:
3446 crashes for some reason).
3447 - Fixed wxMotif version of wxImage::ConvertToBitmap (used new instead
3448 of malloc, which causes memory problems).
3449
3450 General:
3451
3452 - Further doc improvements.
3453 - wxGenericValidator added.
3454 - Added wxImageModule to image.cpp, so adds/cleans up standard handlers
3455 automatically.
3456
3457 Beta 3, January 31st 1999
3458 -------------------------
3459
3460 wxGTK:
3461
3462 - wxClipboard/DnD API changes (still in progress).
3463 - wxToolTip class added.
3464 - Miscellaneous fixes.
3465
3466 wxMSW:
3467
3468 - wxRegConfig DeleteAll bug fixed.
3469 - Makefiles for more compilers.
3470 - TWIN32 support added.
3471 - Renamed VC++ makefiles from .nt to .vc, and
3472 factored out program/library settings.
3473 - Fixed wxIniConfig bug.
3474
3475 wxMotif:
3476
3477 - A few more colour fixes.
3478 - wxGLCanvas and OpenGL samples working.
3479 - Some compiler warnings fixed.

3489 Beta 2, January 1999
3490 --------------------
3491
3492 wxGTK:
3493
3494 wxMSW:
3495
3496 - 16-bit BC++ compilation/linking works albeit without the resource system.
3497
3498 wxMotif:
3499
3500 - Cured wxScreenDC origin problem so e.g. sash window sash is drawn at
3501 the right place.
3502 - Cured some widget table clashes.
3503 - Added thread support (Robert).
3504 - wxPoem sample now works.
3505
3506 General:
3507
3508 - Rearranged documentation a bit.
3509 - Sash window uses area of first frame/dialog to paint over when drawing
3510 the dragged sash, not just the sash window itself (it clipped to the right
3511 or below).
3512 - Made resource sample use the correct Cancel button id.
3513 - Moved wxProp to main library (generic directory), created proplist
3514 sample.
3515 - Added bombs and fractal samples.
3516
3517 Beta 1, December 24th 1998
3518 --------------------------
3519
3520 wxGTK:
3521
3522 - Various
3523
3524 wxMSW, wxMotif: not in sync with this release.
3525
3526
3527 Alpha 18, December 29th 1998
3528 ----------------------------
3529
3530 wxMSW:
3531
3532 - Win16 support working again (VC++ 1.5)
3533 - Win16 now uses generic wxNotebook, wxListCtrl,
3534 wxTreeCtrl -- more or less working now, although
3535 a little work on wxNotebook is still needed.
3536 Under 16-bit Windows, get assertion when you click
3537 on a tab.
3538 - Wrote 16-bit BC++ makefiles: samples don't yet link.
3539 - Added CodeWarrior support to distribution courtesy
3540 of Stefan Csomor.
3541
3542 wxMotif:
3543
3544 - Cured scrolling problem: scrollbars now show/hide themselves
3545 without (permanently) resizing the window.
3546 - Removed some commented-out lines in wxScrolledWindow::AdjustScrollbars
3547 that disabled scrollbar paging.
3548 - Set background colour of drawing area in wxWindow, so e.g. wxListCtrl
3549 colours correctly.
3550 - Removed major bug whereby dialogs were unmanaged automatically
3551 when any button was pressed.
3552 - Fixed colours of wxWindow scrollbars, made list and text controls
3553 have a white background.
3554 - Fixed dialog colour setting.
3555 - Added settable fonts and colours for wxMenu/wxMenuBar. Now
3556 they have sensible colours by default.
3557 - Fixed a bug in wxStaticBox.
3558 - Cured wxTreeCtrl bug: now works pretty well!
3559 - Debugged DrawEllipticArc (a ! in the wrong place).
3560 - Added SetClippingRegion( const wxRegion& region ).
3561 - Added wxPoint, wxSize, wxRect versions of SetSize etc.
3562
3563 Alpha 17, November 22nd 1998
3564 ----------------------------
3565
3566 wxMSW:
3567
3568 - More documentation updates, especially for
3569 wxLayoutWindow classes and debugging facilities.
3570 - Changed wxDebugContext to use wxDebugLog instead
3571 of wxTrace.
3572 - Now supports VC++ 6.0, and hopefully BC++ 5.0.
3573 However, DLL support may be broken for BC++ since
3574 VC++ 6 required changing of WXDLLEXPORT keyword
3575 position.
3576 - Numerous miscellaneous changes.
3577
3578 wxMotif:
3579
3580 - Reimplemented MDI using wxNotebook instead of the MDI widgets, which
3581 were too buggy (probably not design for dynamic addition/removal of
3582 child frames).
3583 - Some improvements to the wxNotebook implementation.
3584 - wxToolBar now uses a bulletin board instead of a form, in an attempt
3585 to make it possible to add ordinary wxControls to a toolbar.
3586 - Cured problem with not being able to use global memory operators,
3587 by defining two more global operators, so that the delete will match
3588 the debugging implementation.
3589 - Added wxUSE_DEBUG_NEW_ALWAYS so we can distinguish between using
3590 global memory operators (usually OK) and #defining new to be
3591 WXDEBUG_NEW (sometimes it might not be OK).
3592 - Added time.cpp to makefile; set wxUSE_DATETIME to 1.
3593 - Added a parent-existence check to popup menu code to make it not crash.
3594 - Added some optimization in wxWindow::SetSize to produce less flicker.
3595 It remains to be seen whether this produces any resize bugs.
3596
3597 It's a long time since I updated this file. Previously done:
3598
3599 - wxFrame, wxDialog done.
3600 - wxScrolledWindow done (but backing pixmap not used at present).
3601 - wxBitmap done though could be tidied it up at some point.
3602 - Most basic controls are there, if not rigorously tested.
3603 - Some MDI support (menus appear on child frames at present).
3604 - wxNotebook almost done.
3605 - wxToolBar done (horizontal only, which would be easy to extend
3606 to vertical toolbars).
3607
3608 More recently:
3609
3610 - Colour and font changing done (question mark over what happens
3611 to scrollbars).
3612 - Accelerators done (for menu items and buttons). Also event loop
3613 tidied up in wxApp so that events are filtered through ProcessXEvent.
3614 - wxWindow::GetUpdateRegion should now work.
3615
3616 Alpha 16, September 8th 1998
3617 ----------------------------
3618
3619 wxMSW:
3620
3621 - Added wxSashWindow, wxSashLayoutWindow classes, and sashtest
3622 sample.
3623 - Guilhem's socket classes added, plus wxsocket sample.
3624 - A few more makefiles added.
3625 - GnuWin32/BC++ compatibility mods.
3626 - Further doc updates.
3627 - wxProp updates for correct working with wxGTK.
3628
3629 wxMotif:
3630
3631 - First start at Motif port.
3632 - Made makefiles for wxMotif source directory and minimal sample.
3633 - First go at wxApp, wxWindow, wxDialog, wxPen, wxBrush, wxFont,
3634 wxColour, wxButton, wxCheckBox, wxTextCtrl, wxStaticText,
3635 wxMenu, wxMenuItem, wxMenuBar
3636
3637 Alpha 15, August 31st 1998
3638 --------------------------
3639
3640 wxMSW:
3641
3642 - wxBitmap debugged.
3643 - wxDC::GetDepth added.
3644 - Contribution added whereby wxBitmap will be
3645 converted to DC depth if they don't match.
3646 - wxConfig API improved, documentation updated.
3647 - Printing classes name conventions cleaned up.
3648 - wxUpdateUIEvent now derives from wxCommandEvent
3649 so event can travel up the window hierarchy.
3650
3651 Alpha 14, July 31st 1998
3652 ------------------------
3653
3654 wxMSW:
3655
3656 - Toolbar API has been simplified, and now
3657 wxFrame::GetClientArea returns the available client
3658 area when toolbar, status bar etc. have been accounted for.
3659 wxFrame::CreateToolBar added in line with CreateStatusBar.
3660 - Documentation updates, incl. for wxToolBar.
3661 - New wxAcceleratorTable class plus wxFrame::SetAcceleratorTable.
3662 - Various additions from other folk, e.g. streams, wxConfig
3663 changes, wxNotebook.
3664 - Added wxDocMDIParentFrame, wxDocMDIChildFrame for doc/view.
3665
3666 Alpha 13, July 8th 1998
3667 -----------------------
3668
3669 wxMSW:
3670
3671 - Implemented wxPoint as identical to POINT on Windows, and
3672 altered wxDC wxPoint functions to use wxPoint directly in
3673 Windows functions, for efficiency.
3674 - Cured wxASSERT bug in wxStatusBar95.
3675 - #ifdefed out some bits in oleutils.cpp for compilers that
3676 don't support it.
3677 - Added some operators to wxPoint, wxSize.
3678 - Added inline wxDC functions using wxPoint, wxSize, wxRect.
3679
3680 Alpha 12, July 7th 1998
3681 -----------------------
3682
3683 wxMSW:
3684
3685 - Added wxApp::GetComCtl32Version, and wxTB_FLAT style, so can
3686 have flat toolbars on Win98 or Win95 with IE >= 3 installed.
3687
3688 Alpha 11, July 3rd 1998
3689 -----------------------
3690
3691 wxMSW:
3692
3693 - Added thread.h, thread.cpp.
3694 - Changed Enabled, Checked to IsEnabled, IsChecked in wxMenu,
3695 wxMenuBar.
3696 - Changed wxMenuItem::SetBackColor to SetBackgroundColour,
3697 SetTextColor to SetTextColour, and added or made public several
3698 wxMenuItem accessors.
3699 - Added two overloads to wxRegion::Contains. Added
3700 wxRegion::IsEmpty for a more consistent naming convention.
3701 - Added Vadim's wxDataObject and wxDropSource.
3702 - ENTER/LEAVE events now work.
3703 - Cured wxMemoryDC bug where the DC wasn't being deleted.
3704 - Cured wxGauge SetSize major bugginess.
3705 - Cured problem where if a GDI object was created on the stack,
3706 then went out of scope, then another object was selected into
3707 the DC, GDI objects would leak. This is because the assignment
3708 to e.g. wxDC::m_pen would delete the GDI object without it first
3709 being selected out of the DC. Cured by selecting the old DC object
3710 first, then doing the assignment.
3711 - Split up wxGaugeMSW, wxGauge95, wxSliderMSW, wxSlider95
3712 - Various other bug fixes and additions.
3713
3714 Generic:
3715
3716 - Major work on Dialog Editor (still plenty to go).
3717 - Expanded documentation a bit more.
3718
3719 Alpha 10, May 7th 1998
3720 ----------------------
3721
3722 wxMSW:
3723
3724 - Added desiredWidth, desiredHeight parameters to wxBitmapHandler
3725 and wxIcon functions so that you can specify what size of
3726 icon should be loaded. Probably will remain a Windows-specific thing.
3727 - wxStatusBar95 now works for MDI frames.
3728 - Toolbars in MDI frames now behave normally. They still
3729 require application-supplied positioning code though.
3730 - Changed installation instructions, makefiles and batch files
3731 for compiling with Gnu-Win32/Mingw32/EGCS. Also timercmn.cpp
3732 change to support Mingw32/EGCS. Bison now used by default.
3733
3734 Alpha 9, April 27th 1998
3735 ------------------------
3736
3737 wxMSW:
3738
3739 - Cured bug in wxStatusBar95 that caused a crash if multiple
3740 fields were used.
3741 - Added Gnu-Win32 b19/Mingw32 support by changing resource
3742 compilation and pragmas.
3743 - Cured wxMenu bug introduced in alpha 8 - didn't respond to
3744 commands because VZ changed the id setting in wxMenu::MSWCommand.
3745
3746 Generic:
3747
3748 - Corrected some bugs, such as the wxModule compilation problem.
3749 - Added Gnu-Win32 b19/Mingw32 support by changing resource
3750 compilation and pragmas.
3751 - Changed SIZEOF to WXSIZEOF.
3752
3753 Alpha 8, April 17th 1998
3754 ------------------------
3755
3756 wxMSW:
3757
3758 - Added IsNull to wxGDIObject to check if the ref data is present or not.
3759 - Added PNG handler and sample - doesn't work for 16-bit PNGs for
3760 some reason :-(
3761 - Added wxJoystick class and event handling, and simple demo.
3762 - Added simple wxWave class. Needs Stop() function.
3763 - Added wxModule (module.h/module.cpp) to allow definition
3764 of modules to be initialized and cleaned up on wxWidgets
3765 startup/exit.
3766 - Start of Mingw32 compatibility (see minimal and dialogs samples
3767 makefile.m95 files, and install.txt).
3768 - Note: Windows printing has stopped working... will investigate.
3769 VADIM'S CHANGES:
3770 - Updated wxString: bug fixes, added wxArrayString, some
3771 compatibility functions.
3772 - Updated log.h/cpp, added wxApp::CreateLogTarget.
3773 - file.h: new wxTempFile class.
3774 - defs.h: added wxSB_SIZE_GRIP for wxStatusBar95
3775 - statbr95: wxStatusBar95 control.
3776 - registry.h/cpp: wxRegKey class for Win95 registry.
3777 - listbox.cpp: corrected some bugs with owner-drawn listboxes.
3778 - wxConfig and wxFileConfig classes.
3779
3780 Generic:
3781
3782 - Added src/other/png, src/other/zlib directories.
3783 - Added samples/png.
3784 - IMPORTANT: Changed 'no id' number from 0 to -1, in wxEVT_ macros.
3785 Porters, please check particularly your wxTreeCtrl and wxListCtrl
3786 header files.
3787 - Added modules.h/cpp, config.cpp, fileconf.cpp, textfile.cpp/h.
3788
3789 Alpha 7, March 30th 1998
3790 ------------------------
3791
3792 wxMSW:
3793
3794 - Added tab classes, tab sample.
3795 - Now can return FALSE from OnInit and windows will be
3796 cleaned up properly before exit.
3797 - Improved border handling so panels don't get borders
3798 automatically.
3799 - Debugged MDI activation from Window menu.
3800 - Changes to memory debug handling, including checking for
3801 memory leaks on application exit - but see issues.txt for
3802 unresolved issues.
3803 - Added wxTaskBarIcon (taskbar.cpp/h, plus samples/taskbar)
3804 to allow maintenance of an icon in the Windows 95 taskbar
3805 tray area.
3806 - Got MFC sample working (MFC and wxWidgets in the same
3807 application), partly by tweaking ntwxwin.mak settings.
3808 - Got DLL compilation working again (VC++).
3809 - Changed wxProp/Dialog Editor filenames.
3810
3811 Generic:
3812
3813 - Added tab classes, tab sample.
3814 - Revised memory.cpp, memory.h slightly; memory.h now #defines
3815 new to WXDEBUG_NEW in DEBUG mode. Windows implementation app.cpp
3816 now checks for leaks on exit. Added memcheck sample.
3817 See src/msw/issues.txt for more details.
3818 - resource.h, resource.cpp changed to make wxDefaultResourceTable
3819 a pointer. Now initialize resource system with
3820 wxInitializeResourceSystem and wxCleanUpResourceSystem, to
3821 allow better control of memory.
3822 - wxString now derives from wxObject, to enable memory leak
3823 checking.
3824 - Added some #include fixes in various files, plus changed
3825 float to long in wxToolBar files.
3826
3827 Alpha 6, March 10th 1998
3828 ------------------------
3829
3830 wxMSW:
3831
3832 - Found stack error bug - stopped unwanted OnIdle recursion.
3833 - Removed bug in wxTreeCtrl::InsertItem I added in alpha 5.
3834 - Changed exit behaviour in wxApp/wxFrame/wxDialog. Now will
3835 check if the number of top-level windows is zero before
3836 exiting. Also, wxApp::GetTopWindow will return either
3837 m_topWindow or the first member of wxTopLevelWindows, so you
3838 don't have to call wxApp::SetTopWindow.
3839 - Added dynarray.h/dynarray.cpp (from Vadim).
3840 - Added first cut at OLE drag and drop (from Vadim). dnd sample
3841 added. Drop target only at this stage. See src/msw/ole/*.cpp,
3842 wx/include/msw/ole/*.h. WIN32 only because of UUID usage.
3843 Doesn't work with GnuWin32 - no appropriate headers e.g. for
3844 IUnknown.
3845 Doesn't work with BC++ either - crashes on program startup.
3846 - Added Vadim's owner-draw modifications - will probably remain
3847 Windows-only. This enhances wxMenu, wxListBox. See ownerdrw sample.
3848 - Added wxLB_OWNERDRAW for owner-draw listboxes.
3849 - Vadim's wxCheckListBox derives from wxListBox. See checklst sample.
3850 Doesn't entirely work for WIN16.
3851 - Vadim has added wxMenuItem as a separate file menuitem.cpp. It
3852 can also be used as an argument to wxMenu::Append, not just for
3853 internal implementation.
3854 - Some #ifdefs done for MINGW32 compilation (just alter OPTIONS
3855 in makeg95.env, together with mingw32.bat). However, resource
3856 binding is not working yet so most apps with dialogs crash.
3857
3858 Generic:
3859
3860 - Added Vadim's dynarray.h, dynarray.cpp.
3861 - Added Vadim's menuitem.cpp.
3862 - Added Windows-specific wxCheckListBox,
3863 owner-draw wxListBox, and drag-and-drop
3864 (see docs/msw/changes.txt).
3865
3866 Alpha 5, 14th February 1998
3867 --------------------------
3868
3869 wxMSW:
3870
3871 - GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE
3872 DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to
3873 the Windows-specific code only. See docs/changes.txt for generic
3874 changes.
3875 - Removed Windows-specific reference counting system (GDI
3876 resources were cleaned up in idle time) - minimal
3877 advantages now we have a wxWin reference counting system.
3878 - Added missing WXDLLEXPORT keywords so DLL compilation works
3879 again.
3880 - Removed most warnings for GnuWin32 compilation.
3881 - Added wxRegion/wxRegionIterator, but haven't yet used it in
3882 e.g. wxDC.
3883
3884 Generic:
3885
3886 - GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE
3887 DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to
3888 the generic code only. See docs/msw/changes.txt for Windows-specific
3889 changes.
3890 - Readmes, change logs and installation files now go in
3891 platform-specific directories under docs, e.g. docs/msw,
3892 docs/gtk.
3893 - Added DECLARE_APP and IMPLEMENT_APP macros so wxApp object gets
3894 created dynamically, not as a global object.
3895 - Put wxColour into wx/msw/colour.h, src/msw/colour.cpp.
3896 - Changed names of some include/wx/generic headers to be
3897 consistent and to conform to gcc pragma conventions. Also
3898 changed choicesg.cpp to choicdgg.cpp.
3899 - Added gcc pragmas.
3900 - Added gtk inclusion in include/wx headers.
3901 - Added consistent file headings to source and headers.
3902 - Removed lang.cpp, lang.h and references to wxSTR_... variables;
3903 added a few references to wxTransString.
3904 - Added operator to wxTransString that converts automatically
3905 to wxString, so we can say e.g. wxMessageBox(wxTransString("Hello"), ...).
3906 - samples/internat now works (minimally).
3907 - Added wxMouseEvent::GetPosition and
3908 wxMouseEvent::GetLogicalPosition, both returning wxPoints.
3909 - Made wxSize and wxRect contain longs not ints.
3910 - Cured some memory leaks (thanks Vadim).
3911 - Tidied up OnIdle and introduced RequestMore/MoreRequested so
3912 will only keep processing OnIdle if it returns TRUE from
3913 MoreRequested.
3914
3915 Alpha 4, 31st January 1998
3916 --------------------------
3917
3918 All:
3919
3920 - Changed wxDC functions to take longs instead of floats. GetSize now takes
3921 integer pointers, plus a version that returns a wxSize.
3922 - const keyword added to various wxDC functions.
3923 - Under Windows, wxDC no longer has any knowledge of whether
3924 an associated window is scrolled or not. Instead, the device
3925 origin is set by wxScrolledWindow in wxScrolledWindow::PrepareDC.
3926 - wxScrolledWindow applications can optionally override the virtual OnDraw
3927 function instead of using the OnPaint event handler. The wxDC passed to
3928 OnDraw will be translated by PrepareDC to reflect scrolling.
3929 When drawing outside of OnDraw, must call PrepareDC explicitly.
3930 - wxToolBarBase/wxToolBarSimple similarly changed to allow for
3931 scrolling toolbars.
3932 - Integrated wxPostScriptDC patches for 1.xx by Chris Breeze,
3933 to help printing with multiple pages.
3934 - IPC classes given base classes (wxConnectionBase etc.) which
3935 define the API used by different implementations. DDE
3936 implementation updated to use these base classes.
3937 - wxHelpInstance now separated into wxHelpControllerBase (base
3938 for all implementations), wxWinHelpController (uses standard
3939 WinHelp), wxXLPHelpController (talks to wxHelp by DDE or
3940 TCP/IP). There will be others eventually, such as
3941 wxHTMLHelpController for Microsoft (and Netscape?) HTML Help.
3942 - Added Vadim Zeitlin's wxString class plus
3943 internationalization code (gettext simulation, wxLocale, etc.).
3944 New files from Vadim:
3945 include\wx\string.h
3946 include\wx\debug.h
3947 include\wx\file.h
3948 include\wx\log.h
3949 include\wx\intl.h
3950 src\common\string.cpp
3951 src\common\log.cpp
3952 src\common\intl.cpp
3953 src\common\file.cpp
3954 No longer use GNU wxString files.
3955 - Split off file-related functions into include\wx\filefn.h and
3956 src\common\filefn.cpp.
3957 - Borland C++ support (WIN32) for main library and
3958 samples, using makefile.b32 files.
3959 - Preparation done for allowing BC++ to compile wxWin as a DLL,
3960 including changes to defs.h.
3961 - wxIntPoint removed, wxPoint is now int, and wxRealPoint
3962 introduced.
3963 - Added wxShowEvent (generated when window is being shown or
3964 hidden).
3965 - Got minimal, docview, mdi samples working for 16-bit VC++ and
3966 cured 16-bit problem with wxTextCtrl (removed global memory
3967 trick).
3968 - Updated GnuWin32 makefiles, checked minimal, mdi, docview samples.

3970 Alpha 3, September 1997
3971 -----------------------
3972
3973 All:
3974
3975 - wxListCtrl, wxTreeCtrl, wxImageList classes done.
3976 - Instigated new file hierarchy, split files and classes up more logically.
3977 - PrologIO and some other utils now put into core library.
3978 - Revamped print/preview classes, added wxPageSetupDialog.

3980
3981 Alpha 2, 30th April 1997
3982 ------------------------
3983
3984 All:
3985
3986 - EVT_... macros now have at least one argument, for conformance
3987 with MetroWerks compiler.
3988 - Added ids to .wxr file format.
3989 - Got Dialog Editor compiled and running again but need
3990 to extend functionality to be in line with new controls.
3991 Added dialoged\test app to allow dynamic loading of .wxr files
3992 for testing purposes.
3993 - Rewrote wxBitmap to allow installable file type
3994 handlers.
3995 - Rewrote wxBitmapButton, wxStaticBitmap to not use Fafa.
3996 - Wrote most of wxTreeCtrl and sample (need wxImageList to implement it
3997 fully).
3998 - Added back wxRadioBox.
3999 - Tidied up wx_main.cpp, wxApp class, putting PenWin code in
4000 a separate file.
4001
4002 Alpha 1, 5th April 1997
4003 -----------------------
4004
4005 Generic:
4006
4007 At this point, the following has been achieved:
4008
4009 - A lot, but not all, of the code has been revamped for better
4010 naming conventions, protection of data members, and use of
4011 wxString instead of char *.
4012 - Obsolete functionality deleted (e.g. default wxPanel layout,
4013 old system event system) and code size reduced.
4014 - Class hierarchy changed (see design doc) - base classes such
4015 as wxbWindow now removed.
4016 - No longer includes windows.h in wxWin headers, by using stand-in
4017 Windows types where needed e.g. WXHWND.
4018 - PrologIO revised.
4019 - wxScrolledWindow, wxStatusBar and new MDI classes added.
4020 MDI is now achieved using separate classes, not window styles.
4021 - wxSystemSettings added, and made use of to reflect standard
4022 Windows settings.
4023 - SetButtonFont/SetLabelFont replaced by SetFont; font and colour
4024 settings mucho rationalised.
4025 - All windows are now subclassed with the same window proc to make
4026 event handling far more consistent. Old internal wxWnd and derived
4027 classes removed.
4028 - API for controls revised, in particular addition of
4029 wxValidator parameters and removal of labels for some controls.
4030 - 1 validator written: see examples/validate.
4031 - Event table system introduced (see most samples and
4032 wx_event.cpp/ProcessEvent, wx_event.h). wxEvtHandler
4033 made more flexible, with Push/PopEventHandler allowing a chain
4034 of event handlers.
4035 - wxRadioBox removed - will be added back soon.
4036 - Toolbar class hierarchy revised:
4037 wxToolBarBase
4038 wxToolBarSimple (= old wxToolBar)
4039 wxToolBar95 (= old wxButtonBar under Win95)
4040 wxToolBarMSW (= old wxButtonBar under WIN16/WIN32)
4041 - Constraint system debugged somewhat (sizers now work properly).
4042 - wxFileDialog, wxDirDialog added; other common dialogs now
4043 have class equivalents. Generic colour and font dialogs
4044 rewritten to not need obsolete panel layout.
4045 - .wxr resource system partially reinstated, though needs
4046 an integer ID for controls. Hopefully the resource system
4047 will be replaced by something better and more efficient
4048 in the future.
4049 - Device contexts no longer stored with window and accessed
4050 with GetDC - use wxClientDC, wxPaintDC, wxWindowDC stack
4051 variables instead.
4052 - wxSlider uses trackbar class under Win95, and wxSL_LABELS flag
4053 determines whether labels are shown. Other Win95-specific flags
4054 introduced, e.g. for showing ticks.
4055 - Styles introduced for dealing with 3D effects per window, for
4056 any window: all Win95 3D effects supported, plus transparent windows.
4057 - Major change to allow 3D effect support without CTL3D, under
4058 Win95.
4059 - Bitmap versions of button and checkbox separated out into new
4060 classes, but unimplemented as yet because I intend to remove
4061 the need for Fafa - it apparently causes GPFs in Win95 OSR 2.
4062 - utils/wxprop classes working (except maybe wxPropertyFormView)
4063 in preparation for use in Dialog Editor.
4064 - GNU-WIN32 compilation verified (a month or so ago).
