under 64 bit architectures, please replace it with RemoveAt() in your
code.
+- wxArray<T> macros have been changed to fix runtime problems under 64 bit
+ architectures and as a side effect of this WX_DEFINE_ARRAY() can only be
+ used now for the pointer types, WX_DEFINE_ARRAY_INT should be used for the
+ arrays containing non-pointers.
+
- wxObject::CopyObject() and Clone() methods were removed because they
simply don't make sense for all objects
by all derived classes, if you have user-defined event classes please
add "wxEvent *Clone() const { return new MyEvent(*this); }" line to them
+- wxCondition now must be used with a mutex, please read the (updated) class
+ documentation for details and revise your code accordingly: this change was
+ unfortunately needed as the old class didn't behave correctly in all cases
+
+- small change to wxStopWatch::Pause() semantics, please see the documentation
+
+- unlikely but possible incompatibility: the definition of TRUE has changed
+ from "1" to "(bool)1" (and the same thing for FALSE), so the code which
+ could be erroneously compiled previously such as doing "return FALSE" from
+ a function returning a pointer would stop compiling now (but this change
+ is not supposed to have any effects on valid code)
+
All (GUI):
- the event type constants are not constants any more but are dynamically
- wxGridCellAttrProvider class API changed, you will need to update your code
if you derived any classes from it
+- wxImage::ComputeHistogram()'s signature changed to
+ unsigned long ComputeHistogram(wxImageHistogram&) const
+
+- wxEvtHandler cannot be copied/assigned any longer - this never worked but
+ now it results in compile-time error instead of run-time crashes
+
+- WXK_NUMLOCK and WXK_SCROLL keys no longer result in EVT_CHAR() events,
+ they only generate EVT_KEY_DOWN/UP() ones
+
+- the dialogs use wxApp::GetTopWindow() as the parent implicitly if the
+ parent specified is NULL, use wxDIALOG_NO_PARENT style to prevent this
+ from happening
+
+
wxMSW:
- build system changed: setup.h is not a static file in include/wx any more
but is created as part of the build process under lib/<toolkit>/wx/include
where <toolkit> is of the form (msw|univ)[dll][u][d]. You'll need to update
- the include path in your make/project files appropriately.
+ the include path in your make/project files appropriately. Furthermore,
+ xpm.lib is no longer used by wxMSW, it was superseded by the wxXPMDecoder
+ class. You'll need to remove all references to xpm.lib from your
+ make/project files.
- child frames appear in the taskbar by default now, use wxFRAME_NO_TASKBAR
style to avoid it, wxFRAME_FLOAT_ON_PARENT style is now obsolete and has no
effect
+- all overloads of wxDC::SetClippingRegion() combine the given region with the
+ previously selected one instead of replacing it
+
+- wxGetHomeDir() uses HOME environment variable and if it is set will not
+ return the programs directory any longer but its value (this function has
+ never been meant to return the programs directory anyhow)
+
+- wxHTML apps don't need to include wx/html/msw/wxhtml.rc in resources file
+ anymore. The file was removed from wxMSW
+
+
Unix ports:
- You should use `wx-config --cxxflags` in your makefiles instead of
and the compiler flags for C++ files only, CFLAGS should still be used
to compile pure C files.
