- Default location of wxFileConfig files has changed under Windows, you will
need to update your code if you access these files directly.
-- Return value of wxStandardPaths::GetUserDataDir() and similar functions has
- changed if the vendor name is defined as it now includes it by default under
- Windows and OS X. Call wxStandardPaths::UseAppInfo(AppInfo_AppName) to
- revert to behaviour compatible with 2.8 version.
-
- wxWindow::IsEnabled() now returns false if a window parent (and not
necessarily the window itself) is disabled, new function IsThisEnabled()
with the same behaviour as old IsEnabled() was added.
most of the people expect but if you really relied on this overload adding
space in both directions you should change your code to use AddSpacer(x, x).
+- wxTextCtrl::LoadFile no longer sends a text update event.
+
+- wxXmlDocument::Save()'s indentstep argument's interpretation was fixed
+ to match the documentation: it now really is the number of spaces in
+ indentation instead of being its double. Its default value was changed
+ accordingly, to 2.
+
Changes in behaviour which may result in compilation errors
-----------------------------------------------------------
presence of an element in the list only. If you used it as Find(), simple do
use Find() instead.
+- wxLongLongFmtSpec is now a normal and not wide string so you will need to
+ change expressions of the form wxT("%") wxLongLongFmtSpec wxT("x") to
+ just "%" wxLongLongFmtSpec "x", i.e. simply remove wxT() from the strings you
+ concatenate with it.
+
Deprecated methods and their replacements
-----------------------------------------
the static box itself.
- wxMouseState::{Left,Middle,Right}Down() were renamed to XXXIsDown() for
consistency with wxMouseEvent and the old names were deprecated.
+- wxFont::SetNoAntiAliasing() was deprecated, it never really worked in most
+ ports and was always marked as "experimental" API. It will be replaced with
+ wxDC-level anti-aliasing control in the future.
+- wxValidator::SetBellOnError() incorrectly interpreted its argument (it
+ disabled the bell when it was true) and was replaced by SuppressBellOnError()
+ with more expected semantics.
Major new features in this release
- New propgrid library containing wxPropertyGrid and related classes.
+- new ribbon library for advanced toolbars.
+
- Many enhancements to wxDataViewCtrl.
- Event loops, timers and sockets can now be used in wxBase, without GUI.
2.9.1:
------
+INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE SINCE 2.9.0
+
+- wxStandardPaths doesn't use vendor name by default under MSW and OSX to
+ remain compatible with 2.8 behaviour but this makes it incompatible with
+ 2.9.0. Please use UseAppInfo(AppInfo_AppName | AppInfo_VendorName) explicitly
+ to use the vendor name in the paths returned by wxStandardPaths.
+
+- wxDataViewModel::GetAttr() is now const, as it should have been from the very
+ beginning. You will need to change it to be const in your derived model
+ class too if you override it.
+
+
