to const wxChar*:
wxLogError(_("error: %s"), !err.empty() ? (const wxChar*)err.c_str() : "")
+- wxCtime() and wxAsctime() return char*; this is incompatible with Unicode
+ build in wxWidgets 2.8 that returned wchar_t*.
+
- DigitalMars compiler has a bug that prevents it from using
wxUniChar::operator bool in conditions and it erroneously reports type
conversion ambiguity in expressions such as this:
This can be worked around by explicitly casting to bool:
for ( wxString::const_iterator p = s.begin(); (bool)*p; ++p )
+- virtual wxHtmlParser::AddText() takes wxString, not wxChar*, argument now.
+
Deprecated methods and their replacements
-----------------------------------------
- wxCreateGreyedImage() deprecated, use wxImage::ConvertToGreyscale() instead.
- wxString::GetWriteBuf() and UngetWriteBuf() deprecated, using wxStringBuffer
or wxStringBufferLength instead.
+- wxDIRCTRL_SHOW_FILTERS style is deprecated, filters are alwsys shown if
+ specified so this style should simply be removed
+- wxDocManager::MakeDefaultName() replaced by MakeNewDocumentName() and
+ wxDocument::GetPrintableName() with GetUserReadableName() which are simpler
+ to use
+
