-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.4.x
-================================
+2.5.4
+-----
- Please take a few minutes to read the following list, especially
- paying attention to the most important changes which are marked
- with '!' in the first column.
+All:
+
+- new classes for reading and writing ZIP files (M.J.Wetherell)
+- large files support for wxFFile (M.J.Wetherell)
+- classes in the manual are now cross-referenced (Zbigniew Zagórski)
+- Norwegian (Bokmål) translation added (Hans F. Nordhaug)
+- wxDynamicLibrary::HasSymbol() added
+- added wxEXEC_NODISABLE flag to be used with wxExecute(wxEXEC_SYNC)
+- added wxTextInputStream::operator>>(wchar_t) for compilers which support this
+- added wxURI, a class for dealing with Uniform Resource Identifiers
+- changed wxURL to inherit from wxURI and provide assignment and comparison
+- implemented wxConvUTF7 (modified patch from Fredrik Roubert)
+- added versions of MB2WC and WC2MB for wxMBConv that for embedded null chars
+- Unicode support in wxODBC is now fully implemented
+- A new data type specific to wxWidgets called SQL_C_WXCHAR has been introduced.
+ SQL_C_WXCHAR should be used rather than SQL_C_CHAR to ensure transparent
+ behavior between Unicode and non-unicode builds
+- BLOB example added to samples/db (thanks to Casey ODonnell)
+- use wxStream::GetLength() instead of deprecated GetSize()
+- wxGetOsDescription() is now more precise (Olly Betts)
+- XRC supports system fonts and colours (Ray Gilbert)
+- Added flags argument to wxKill/wxProcess::Kill to kill child processes.
+- Added wxPrintFactory classes so that it is possible to add a new
+ print system backend at run-time. This was required by the new GNOME
+ printing stuff in the GTK port.
+- Added support to the wxODBC classes for Firebird 1.5 database
+- The samples\db sample program now includes an optional example of using a BLOB
+ datatype (if BLOB support is enabled and supported by the database)
- Also please note that you should ensure that WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_4
- is defined to 1 if you wish to retain maximal compatibility with 2.4
- series.
-
-! windows are no longer fully repainted when resized, use new style
- wxFULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE to force this (wxNO_FULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE stll
- exists but doesn't do anything any more, this behaviour is default now)
-
-
-- no initialization/cleanup can be done in wxApp/~wxApp because they are
- 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
-- wxTheApp can't be assigned to any longer, use wxApp::SetInstance() instead
-- wxFileType::GetIcon() returns wxIconLocation, not wxIcon
-- 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 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
-
-
-DEPRECATED METHODS SINCE 2.4.x

-
-Deprecated methods may still be used but will disappear in future wxWindows
-versions, please update your code to not use them.

+- wxSizer::Add/Insert etc. now returns pointer to wxSizerItem just added and this
+ item remembers its wxRect area (Brian A. Vanderburg II)

+- Implemented/improved wxDC::DrawRotatedText()
+- fixed wxFileDialog::SetWildcard()
+- native file dialog is now used if available (Zbigniew Zagorski)

+- Changed calls to GTK+ 2.4.x functions so that the code checks at
+ runtime, which library version is installed so that these functions
+ are only called with GTK+ 2.4.x installed and should yield linker
+ errors otherwise.

+
+- wxDynamicLibrary::GetDllExt() now returns ".bundle", not ".dylib"

+
+2.5.2
+-----
+
+All:
+
+- Hindi translation 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
+- when wxUSE_STL == 1 and STL provides quasi-standard hash_map/hash_set,

+- implemented Freeze/Thaw() for wxGenericTreeCtrl (Kevin Hock)
+- support for KOI8-U encoding added (Yuriy Tkachenko)
+- The old wxADJUST_MINSIZE behaviour is 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.
+- added wxRegEx::GetMatchCount()
+- it is now possible to display images in wxHtmlListBox
+
+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
+- wxFileName::GetModificationTime() works with opened files too now
+- wxDC::GetClippingBox() now works even for clipping regions created by Windows
+- fixed wxFileDataObject in Unicode build (Alex D)
+- subindented paragraphs support (Tim Kosse)
+
+wxGTK:
+
+- added support for wxTE_RIGHT and wxTE_CENTRE styles under GTK2 (Mart Raudsepp)
+
+wxMotif:
+
+- removed wxMenuItem::DeleteSubMenu()
+- wxButtons use Motif default size, which is smaller than it used to be
+ and closer to wxMSW/wxGTK look. This can be disabled by setting
+ motif.largebuttons system option to 1 (see wxSystemOptions).
+
+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)
+- added "wx-config --libs=std,<extra>" syntax (i.e. support for "std")
+
+wxODBC:
+
+- Full Unicode support is now available
+- BLOB support is working
