INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.8.x
================================
+
+ Notice that these changes are described in more details in
+ the "Changes Since wxWidgets 2.8" section of the manual,
+ please read it if the explanation here is too cryptic.
+
+
Unicode-related changes
-----------------------
changes:
- Many wxWidgets functions taking "const wxChar *" have been changed to take
- either "const wxString&" so that they accept both Unicode and ANSI strings.
- and the argument can't be NULL or "const char *" if the strings are always
- ANSI but may be NULL. This change is normally backwards compatible except:
+ either "const wxString&" (so that they accept both Unicode and ANSI strings;
+ the argument can't be NULL anymore in this case) or "const char *" (if the
+ strings are always ANSI; may still be NULL). This change is normally
+ backwards compatible except:
a) Virtual functions: derived classes versions must be modified to take
"const wxString&" as well to make sure that they continue to override the
to work with "wxChar *" before use "void *" now (some int parameters were
also changed to size_t). While wxIPC_TEXT can still be used to transfer 7
bit text, the new wxIPC_UTF8TEXT format is used for transferring wxStrings.
+ Also notice that connection classes should change the parameter types of
+ their overridden OnExecute() or override a more convenient OnExec() instead.
wxODBC and contrib libraries removal
can still use wxGenericCalendarCtrl instead of wxCalendarCtrl in your code if
you need the extra features.
+- wxDocument::FileHistoryLoad() and wxFileHistory::Load() now take const
+ reference to wxConfigBase argument and not just a reference, please update
+ your code if you overrode these functions and change the functions in the
+ derived classes to use const reference as well.
+
+- Under MSW wxExecute() arguments are now always properly quoted, as under
+ Unix, and so shouldn't contain quotes unless they are part of the argument.
+
+- wxDocument::OnNewDocument() doesn't call OnCloseDocument() any more.
+
+- If you use wxScrolledWindow::SetTargetWindow() you must implement its
+ GetSizeAvailableForScrollTarget() method, please see its documentation for
+ more details.
+
Changes in behaviour which may result in compilation errors
-----------------------------------------------------------
and has to be replaced with this:
switch (str[i].GetValue()) { ... }
-- Return type of wxString::c_str() is now wxCStrData struct and not
- const wxChar*. wxCStrData is implicitly convertible to const char* and
- const wchar_t*, so this only presents a problem if the compiler cannot
- convert the type. In particular, Borland C++ and DigitalMars compilers
- don't correctly convert operator?: operands to the same type and fail with
- compilation error instead. This can be worked around by explicitly casting
- to const wxChar*:
- wxLogError(_("error: %s"), !err.empty() ? (const wxChar*)err.c_str() : "")
+- Return type of wxString::c_str() is now a helper wxCStrData struct and not
+ const wxChar*. wxCStrData is implicitly convertible to both "const char *"
+ and "const wchar_t *", so this only presents a problem if the compiler cannot
+ apply the conversion. This can happen in 2 cases:
+
+ + There is an ambiguity because the function being called is overloaded to
+ take both "const char *" and "const wchar_t *" as the compiler can't choose
+ between them. In this case you may use s.wx_str() to call the function
+ matching the current build (Unicode or not) or s.mb_str() or s.wc_str() to
+ explicitly select narrow or wide version of it.
+
+ Notice that such functions are normally not very common but unfortunately
+ Microsoft decided to extend their STL with standard-incompatible overloads
+ of some functions accepting "const wchar_t *" so you may need to replace
+ some occurrences of c_str() with wx_str() when using MSVC 8 or later.
+
+ + Some compilers, notably Borland C++ and DigitalMars, don't correctly
+ convert operator?: operands to the same type and fail with compilation
+ error instead. This can be worked around by explicitly casting 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*.
- Virtual wxHtmlParser::AddText() takes wxString, not wxChar*, argument now.
-- Functions that took wxChar* arguments that could by NULL in wxWidgets 2.8.
+- Functions that took wxChar* arguments that could by NULL in wxWidgets 2.8
are deprecated and passing NULL to them won't compile anymore, wxEmptyString
must be used instead.
derives from wxObject; instead of using wxDynamicCast with wxVariantData you
can use the macro wxDynamicCastVariantData with the same arguments.
-- wxWindow::Next/PrevControlId() don't exist any more as they can't be
+- wxWindow::Next/PrevControlId() don't exist any more as they couldn't be
implemented correctly any longer because automatically generated ids are not
- necessarily allocated consecutively any more. Use GetChildren() to find the
+ necessarily allocated consecutively now. Use GetChildren() to find the
next/previous control sibling instead.
+- Calling wxConfig::Write() with an enum value will fail to compile because
+ wxConfig now tries to convert all unknown types to wxString automatically.
+ The simplest solution is to cast the enum value to int.
+
+- Several wxImage methods which previously had "long bitmaptype" parameters
+ have been changed to accept "wxBitmapType bitmaptype", please use enum
+ wxBitmapType in your code.
+
+- wxGridCellEditor::EndEdit() signature has changed and it was split in two
+ functions, one still called EndEdit() and ApplyEdit(). See the documentation
+ of the new functions for more details about how grid editors should be
+ written now.
+
+- wxEVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGE event renamed to wxEVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGED and shouldn't
+ be vetoed any more, use the new wxEVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGING event to do it.
+
Deprecated methods and their replacements
-----------------------------------------
use simpler OnExec() version which is called with wxString argument
- wxMenuItem::GetLabel has been deprecated in favour of wxMenuItem::GetItemLabelText
- wxMenuItem::GetText has been deprecated in favour of wxMenuItem::GetItemLabel
-- wxMenuItem::GetLabelFromText has been deprecated in favour of wxMenuItem::GetLabelText
+- wxMenuItem::GetLabelFromText has been deprecated in favour of wxMenuItem::GetLabelText
- wxMenuItem::SetText has been deprecated in favour of wxMenuItem::SetItemLabel
- wxBrush's, wxPen's SetStyle() and GetStyle() as well as the wxBrush/wxPen ctor now take
respectively a wxBrushStyle and a wxPenStyle value instead of a plain "int style";
use the new wxBrush/wxPen style names (wxBRUSHSTYLE_XXX and wxPENSTYLE_XXX) instead
of the old deprecated wxXXX styles (which however are still available).
+- EVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGE was deprecated, use EVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGED instead if you
+ don't veto the event in its handler and EVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGING if you do.
- EVT_CALENDAR_DAY event has been deprecated, use EVT_CALENDAR_SEL_CHANGED.
- EVT_CALENDAR_MONTH and EVT_CALENDAR_YEAR events are deprecated,
use EVT_CALENDAR_PAGE_CHANGED which replaces both of them.
- wxCalendarCtrl::EnableYearChange() and wxCAL_NO_YEAR_CHANGE are deprecated.
-
+ There is no replacement for this functionality, it is being dropped as it is
+ not available in native wxCalendarCtrl implementations.
+- wxDC::SetClippingRegion(const wxRegion&) overload is deprecated as it used
+ different convention from the other SetClippingRegion() overloads: wxRegion
+ passed to it was interpreted in physical, not logical, coordinates. Replace
+ it with SetDeviceClippingRegion() if this was the correct thing to do in your
+ code.
+- wxTE_AUTO_SCROLL style is deprecated as it's always on by default anyhow.
+- wxThreadHelper::Create() has been deprecated in favour of wxThreadHelper::CreateThread
+ which has a better name for a mix-in class, and allows setting the thread type.
Major new features in this release
- wxWidgets may now use either wchar_t (UTF-16/32) or UTF-8 internally,
depending on what is optimal for the target platform.
-- Events loops, timers and sockets can now be used in wxBase, without GUI.
+- New propgrid library containing wxPropertyGrid and related classes, many
+ enhancements to wxDataViewCtrl.
+
+- Event loops, timers and sockets can now be used in wxBase, without GUI.
+
+- Documentation for wxWidgets has been converted from LaTex to C++ headers
+ with Doxygen comments and significantly improved in the process (screenshots
+ of various controls were added, more identifiers are now linked to their
+ definition &c). Any reports about inaccuracies in the documentation are
+ welcome (and due to using the simple Doxygen syntax it is now easier than
+ ever to submit patches correcting them! :-)
