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.
+
+ NB: if you want to build your program with different major versions
+ of wxWindows you will probably find the wxCHECK_VERSION() macro
+ (see the documentation) useful.
+
+
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
generated at all, so you must call event.Skip() in your OnKeyDown() if
you want to get OnChar() as well
+- in general, the key events sent for the various non ASCII key combinations
+ have been changed to make them consistent over all supported platforms,
+ please see the wxKeyEvent documentation for details
+
- wxYES_NO is now wxYES | wxNO and the manifest values of both wxYES and wxNO
have changed (to fix some unfortunate clashes), please check your code to
ensure that no tests for wxYES or wxNO are broken: for example, the following
if ( flags & wxYES )
... do something else ...
+- static wxWizard::Create() doesn't exist any more, the wizards are created
+ in the same way as all the other wxWindow objects, i.e. by directly using
+ the ctor
+
- wxGLCanvas now derives directly from wxWindow, not wxScrolledWindow
- wxGridCellAttrProvider class API changed, you will need to update your code
if you derived any classes from it
-- wxImage::ComputeHistogram()'s signature changed to
+- wxImage::ComputeHistogram()'s signature changed to
unsigned long ComputeHistogram(wxImageHistogram&) const
- wxEvtHandler cannot be copied/assigned any longer - this never worked but
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>)
wxMSW:
where <toolkit> is of the form (msw|univ)[dll][u][d]. You'll need to update
the include path in your make/project files appropriately. Furthermore,
xpm.lib is no longer used by wxMSW, it was superseded by the wxXPMDecoder
- class. You'll need to remove all references to xpm.lib from your
- make/project files.
+ class. You'll need to remove all references to xpm.lib from your
+ make/project files. Finally, the library names have changed as well and now
+ use the following consistent naming convention: wxmsw[u][d][ver].(lib|dll)
+ where 'u' appears for Unicode version, 'd' -- for the debug one and version
+ is only present for the DLLs builds.
- child frames appear in the taskbar by default now, use wxFRAME_NO_TASKBAR
style to avoid it

programs and not only GNU make
- wxTCP-based IPC classes now support communicating over Unix domain sockets
+- wxWindows may be built as a dynamic shared library under Darwin / Mac OS X

All (GUI):
- Added wxMouseCaptureChangedEvent
- Added custom character filtering to wxTextValidator

+- 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).

+ whether a label edit was cancelled.

+- setting tooltips for wxSlider now works

+- fixed a race condition during a thread exit and a join
+- fixed a condition where a thread can hang during message/event processing
