need to review them as wxDC doesn't have any virtual methods any longer and
uses delegation instead of inheritance to present different behaviours.
-- wxWindow::ProcessEvent() has been made protected to prevent wrongly using it
- instead of correct GetEventHandler()->ProcessEvent(). New ProcessWindowEvent()
- was added for convenience.

- Return type of wxString::operator[] and wxString::iterator::operator* is no
longer wxChar (i.e. char or wchar_t), but wxUniChar. This is not a problem
- wxEVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGE event renamed to wxEVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGED and shouldn't
be vetoed any more, use the new wxEVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGING event to do it.
+- Now wxWidgets at startup in debug builds checks if all wxEvent-derived classes
+ correctly implement the Clone() function, logging a warning if they don't.
+ A correct implementation for MyCustomEventClass::Clone() is simply:
+ virtual wxEvent *Clone() const { return new MyCustomEventClass(*this); }

Deprecated methods and their replacements
-----------------------------------------
- wxTE_AUTO_SCROLL style is deprecated as it's always on by default anyhow.
- wxThreadHelper::Create() has been deprecated in favour of wxThreadHelper::CreateThread
which has a better name for a mix-in class, and allows setting the thread type.
-
+- wxDos2UnixFilename, wxUnix2DosFilename, wxStripExtension, wxGetTempFileName,
+ wxExpandPath, wxContractPath, wxRealPath, wxCopyAbsolutePath, wxSplitPath
+ were deprecated in favour of wxFileName methods. See docs for more info.
+- global wxPendingEvents and wxPendingEventsLocker objects were removed; now you may use
+ wxEventLoopBase::SuspendProcessingOfPendingEvents instead of locking wxPendingEventsLocker.
Major new features in this release
----------------------------------
Linnakangas).
- wxVariant::Unshare allows exclusive allocation of data that must be shared,
if the wxVariantData::Clone function is implemented.
-- Added wxWeakRef<T>, wxScopedPtr<T>, wxScopedArray<T>, wxSharedPtr<T> templates.
+- Added wxWeakRef<T>, wxScopedPtr<T>, wxScopedArray<T>, wxSharedPtr<T> templates
+ and renamed old wx/ptr_{scpd,shrd}.h headers to wx/scoped{ptr,array}.h and
+ wx/sharedptr.h (but old headers are still provided for compatibility).
- Added wxVector<T> class templates
- Added wxON_BLOCK_EXIT_SET() and wxON_BLOCK_EXIT_NULL() to wx/scopeguard.h.
- Added wxEvtHandler::QueueEvent() replacing AddPendingEvent() and
- Handle exceptions thrown from overridden wxView::OnCreate() gracefully.
- Added wxPATH_RMDIR_FULL/RECURSIVE wxFileName::Rmdir() flags (Marcin Malich).
- Added wxStandardPaths::GetAppDocumentsDir().
+- Added wx-prefixed versions of DECLARE_NO_{COPY,ASSIGN}_CLASS macros.
+- Added wxFileName::ReplaceEnvVariable and wxFileName::ReplaceHomeDir.
+- Added wxProtocol::SetDefaultTimeout(); the default timeout for both wxHTTP and wxFTP
+ protocols is 60 seconds.
+- Added wxStrnlen() for safe computation of string length.
+- Added wxImage::Clear() (troelsk)
All (Unix):
- Added wx-config --optional-libs command line option (John Labenski).
- Noticeably (by a factor of ~150) improve wxIPC classes performance.
+- Configure options --with-opengl and --enable-mediactrl now default to "auto":
+ if OpenGL and GStreamer libraries are available the "gl" and "media" wx libraries
+ are automatically built.
All (GUI):
- Added support for resizing wxWizard bitmaps to the current page height,
via SetBitmapPlacement, SetBitmapBackgroundColour and SetMinimumBitmapWidth.
Also made it easier to derive from wxWizard and override behaviour.
-- Made wxSizer::Fit() set the client size of the target window
+- Made wxSizer::Fit() set the client size of the target window.
- Add support for wxDatePickerCtrl in wxGenericValidator (Herry Ayen Yang)
- Added wxWindow::HasFocus().
- Added wxGLCanvas::IsDisplaySupported().
GetNativeSizeHint() now return more sensible values in wxMSW and wxMac and
no longer return bogus values.
- Added wxControl::SetLabelText() and EscapeMnemonics().
+- Added support for wxFILTER_EMPTY and wxFILTER_DIGITS styles to wxTextValidator;
+ added also the SetCharIncludes() and SetCharExcludes() utilities.
+- Added wxIMAGE_OPTION_PNG_FILTER and many wxIMAGE_OPTION_PNG_COMPRESSION_* options
+ to wxImage and wxPNGHandler to allow for custom compression levels when saving PNGs
+ (Perdana Panduwana)
+- Added GetValue(), GetRange(), GetMessage() functions to wxProgressDialog
+- Moved yield functions to wxEventLoopBase and implemented for wxMSW and wxGTK
+ a selective wxEventLoopBase::YieldFor() function.
+ Added also wxEventLoopBase::IsYielding to help cure re-entrancy problems with Yield().
wxGTK:
- Support for markup and ellipsization in wxStaticText (Francesco Montorsi).
+- Ellipsize long strings in wxStatusBar (Francesco Montorsi)
- Native implementation for wxHyperlinkCtrl (Francesco Montorsi).
- Native keyboard navigation implementation.
- Added wxCB_SORT support to wxComboBox (Evgeniy Tarassov).
- Added wxToolTip::SetMaxWidth() and improved default wrapping (Joachim Hönig).
- Changed default toolbar bitmaps size from obsolete 16x15 to 24x24 used
by modern apps.
