now called much earlier/later than before; please move any exiting code
from there to wxApp::OnInit()/OnExit()
- also, OnExit() is not called if OnInit() fails
+- finally the program exit code is OnRun() return value, not OnExit() one
- wxTheApp can't be assigned to any longer, use wxApp::SetInstance() instead
- wxFileType::GetIcon() returns wxIconLocation, not wxIcon
-- wxColourDatabase doesn't derive from wxList anymore: use AddColour to add
- new colours
+- wxColourDatabase is not a wxList any more, use AddColour to add new colours
- wxWindow::Clear() is now called ClearBackground()
- pointer returned by wxFont::GetNativeFontInfo() must not be deleted now
-- wxMouseEvent::Moving() doesn't return true if mouse is being dragged
+- wxMouseEvent::Moving() doesn't return true if mouse is being dragged any more
+- (most) controls now inherit parents colours by default, override
+ ShouldInheritColours() to return false if you don't want this to happen
+- wxApp::SendIdleEvent() now takes 2 arguments
+- wxTabView::GetLayers() changed return type from wxList& to wxTabLayerList&
+ (when WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_4 == 0)
+- wxID_SEPARATOR (id used for the menu separators) value changed from -1 to -2
+- wxGetNumberFromUser() is now in separate wx/numdlg.h, not wx/textdlg.h
+- 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.
+
+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
- wxTheFontMapper: use wxFontMapper::Get() instead
- wxStringHashTable: use wxHashMap instead
- wxHashTableLong: use wxHashMap instead
-- wxArrayString::GetStringArray: no replacement
+- wxArrayString::GetStringArray: use wxCArrayString or alternative wxWindows
+ methods taking wxArrayString
- wxArrayString::Remove(index, count): use RemoveAt instead
- wxTreeItemId conversion to long is deprecated and shouldn't be used
- [MSW only] wxWindow::GetUseCtl3D(), GetTransparentBackground() and
SetTransparent() as well as wxNO_3D and wxUSER_COLOURS styles
- wxList keyed interface: use wxHashMap instead
+- wxColourDatabase::FindColour(): use Find() instead (NB: different ret type)
+- wxHashTable::Next: use wxHashTable::Node* or
+ wxHashTable::compatibility_iterator to store the return
+ value
+- wxWave class; use wxSound instead
