paying attention to the most important changes which are marked
with '!' in the first column.
+ Also please note that you should ensure that WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_2
+ is defined to 1 if you wish to retain maximal compatibility with 2.2
+ series -- however you are also strongly encouraged to try to compile
+ your code without this define as it won't be default any longer in
+ 2.6 release.
+
+
wxBase:
! wxArray<T>::Remove(size_t) has been removed to fix compilation problems
a function returning a pointer would stop compiling now (but this change
is not supposed to have any effects on valid code)
+- another minor change: wxApp::OnAssert() has a new "cond" argument, you
+ must modify YourApp::OnAssert() signature if you were using it to override
+ the default assert handling.
+
+
All (GUI):
! the event type constants are not constants any more but are dynamically
in the switch()es, you must rewrite them to use if()s instead
You may also define WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_EVENT_TYPES to get the old behaviour
- but this is strongly discouraged, please consider changing your codei
+ but this is strongly discouraged, please consider changing your code
instead!
! wxDialog does not derive from wxPanel any longer - if you were using it in
your code, please update it. The quick fix for the most cases is to replace
- the occurences of wxPanel with wxWindow.
+ the occurrences of wxPanel with wxWindow.
! if you handle (and don't skip) EVT_KEY_DOWN, the EVT_CHAR event is not
generated at all, so you must call event.Skip() in your OnKeyDown() if
parent specified is NULL, use wxDIALOG_NO_PARENT style to prevent this
from happening
+- several obsolete synonyms are only retained in WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_2 mode:
+ for example, use wxScrolledWindow::GetViewStart() now instead of ViewStart()
+ and GetCount() instead of Number() in many classes
+
+- wxCmdLineParser does not use wxLog to output messages anymore.
+ to obtain the previous behaviour, add
+ wxMessageOutput::Set(new wxMessageOutputLog); to your program
+ (you will need to #include <wx/msgout.h>)

+- fixed thread priority setting under Linux
All (GUI):
- Added wxMouseCaptureChangedEvent
- Added custom character filtering to wxTextValidator
- wxTreeCtrl now supports incremental keyboard search
+- wxHelpProvider::RemoveHelp added and called from ~wxWindowBase

+ table fills up
+- updated libpng from 1.0.3 to 1.2.4
+- Added wxView::OnClosingDocument so the application can do
+ cleanup.
+- generic wxListCtrl renamed to wxGenericListCtrl, wxImageList
+ renamed to wxGenericImageList, so they can be used on wxMSW
+ (Rene Rivera).

wxHTML:
- fixed "missing" initial resize of wxMDIChildFrame

-- Added a parent-existance check to popup menu code to make it not crash.
+- Added a parent-existence check to popup menu code to make it not crash.
- Added some optimization in wxWindow::SetSize to produce less flicker.
It remains to be seen whether this produces any resize bugs.
- wxConfig API improved, documentation updated.
- Printing classes name conventions cleaned up.
- wxUpdateUIEvent now derives from wxCommandEvent

Alpha 14, July 31st 1998
------------------------
- Added wxMouseEvent::GetPosition and
wxMouseEvent::GetLogicalPosition, both returning wxPoints.
- Made wxSize and wxRect contain longs not ints.
-- Cured some lemory leaks (thanks Vadim).
+- Cured some memory leaks (thanks Vadim).

MoreRequested.
implementation updated to use these base classes.
- wxHelpInstance now separated into wxHelpControllerBase (base
for all implementations), wxWinHelpController (uses standard
- WinHelp), wxXLPHelPController (talks to wxHelp by DDE or
+ WinHelp), wxXLPHelpController (talks to wxHelp by DDE or
TCP/IP). There will be others eventually, such as
wxHTMLHelpController for Microsoft (and Netscape?) HTML Help.
- Added Vadim Zeitlin's wxString class plus
Windows types where needed e.g. WXHWND.
- PrologIO revised.
- wxScrolledWindow, wxStatusBar and new MDI classes added.
