INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.6.x
================================
if the whole name is a directory.
- wxDialog::CreateButtonSizer() may return NULL now, please see the manual.
- wxStaticBoxSizer now deletes the associated wxStaticBox when it is deleted.
+- wxArray::Alloc() now works as reserve() and does not clear the array any more
- Windows calling CaptureMouse() are now required to handle the
wxEVT_MOUSE_CAPTURE_LOST event and not call ReleaseMouse() in this case.
+- wxInputStream::GetC() now returns an int in the range 0 - 255 on success
+ instead of a char the range -128 - 127.
Changes in behaviour which may result in compilation errors
-----------------------------------------------------------
+- Some classes (notably wxBitmap and wxImage) don't define operator==() as it
+ used to work in somewhat unexpected way as it compared only internal pointers
+ and not the object data. The code using it will have to be updated:
+ * If the object was compared with wxNullXXX, use IsOk() method instead
+ * If valid object need to be compared, use IsSameAs() to reproduce the old
+ behaviour or change the code to avoid comparing bitmaps &c.
- wxFontData::GetColour() now returns a const colour.
- wxDC objects can't be created directly now (this never worked, now it doesn't
even compile).
- wxGetWorkingDirectory() deprecated in favour of wxGetCwd().
- wxDC::BeginDrawing() and wxDC::EndDrawing() deprecated, don't use them.
+- wxWindowBase::GetBestFittingSize --> wxWindowBase::GetEffectiveMinSize.
+- wxWindowBase::SetBestFittingSize --> wxWindowBase::SetInitialSize.
+- Seeking on a zip stream returned from wxFileSystem without using the new
+ wxFS_SEEKABLE flags is deprecated. You can still seek, but use the flag.
+- Constructor wxZipInputStream(const wxString& archive, const wxString& file)
+ deprecated in favour of wxFileSystem (other zip ctors are not deprecated).
-Major new features in 2.7 release
