- wxChoice and wxCombobox now handle their size in the same way as in all the
other ports under MSW, new code is actually correct but different from weird
stuff they were doing before so the behaviour of your programs might change
+- wxTaskBarIcon objects must now be destroyed before the application can exit.
+ Previously, the application terminated if there were no top level windows;
+ now it terminates if there are no top level windows or taskbar icons left.
+- wxZlibInputStream is not by default compatible with the output of the
+ 2.4.x version of wxZlibOutputStream. However, there is a compatibilty mode,
+ switched on by passing wxZLIB_24COMPATIBLE to the constructor.
+
+wxTaskBarIcon must be explicitly destroyed now, otherwise the application
+ won't exit even though there are no top level windows
DEPRECATED METHODS SINCE 2.4.x
methods taking wxArrayString
- wxArrayString::Remove(index, count): use RemoveAt instead
- wxTreeItemId conversion to long is deprecated and shouldn't be used
+- wxTreeCtrl::GetFirst/NextChild() 2nd argument now has type wxTreeItemIdValue
+ and not long, please change declarations of "cookie"s in your code
+ accordingly -- otherwise your code won't work on 64 bit platforms
- [MSW only] wxWindow::GetUseCtl3D(), GetTransparentBackground() and
SetTransparent() as well as wxNO_3D and wxUSER_COLOURS styles
- wxList keyed interface: use wxHashMap instead
All:
+- Hindi translations added (Dhananjaya Sharma)
+- wxDynamicCast() now uses static_cast<wxObject *> internally and so using it
+ with anything not deriving from wxObject will fail at compile time (instead
+ of run-time) now
+
All (GUI):
- wxHtmlWindow now delays image scaling until rendering,
resulting in much better display of scaled images
+- Added UpdateSize to wxSplitterWindow to allow layout while hidden
+- implemented Freeze/Thaw() for wxGenericTreeCtrl (Kevin Hock)
+- support for KOI8-U encoding added (Yuriy Tkachenko)
+- The old wxADJUST_MINSIZE behaviouris now the default behaviour for
+ sizer items that are windows. This means that GetAdjustedBestSize
+ will now be called by default to determine the minimum size that a
+ window in a sizer should have. If you want to still use the initial
+ size (and not the BestSize) then use the wxFIXED_MINSIZE flag. When
+ windows are added to a sizer their initial size is made the window's
+ min size using SetSizeHints, and calls to wxSizer::SetItemMinSize
+ are also forwarded to SetSizeHints for window items.
wxMSW:
- wxWindow::Freeze()/Thaw() can now be nested
- Added wxSP_NO_XP_THEME style to wxSplitterWindow to switch off
XP theming (some applications look bad without 3D borders)
+- wxMenuBar::GetLabelTop() doesn't include '&'s in the label any more
+- wxRegConf couldn't read global settings without admin privileges and didn't
+ even try to do it by default -- now it does
+- wxTaskBarIcon must be explicitly destroyed now, otherwise the application
+ won't exit even though there are no top level windows
+
+wxMotif:
+
+- removed wxMenuItem::DeleteSubMenu()
+
+wxUniv/X11:
+
+- implemented DrawRoundedRectangle() (clawghoul)
+
+wxHTML:
+
+- improved tables and lists layout algorithms (Tim Kosse)
+- <div> handling fix (Xavier Nodet)
+
+Unix:
+- fixed priorities of mailcap entries (David Hart)
