wxString, in many cases code using it won't compile any more and NULL
should be replaced with an empty string.
+- Functions returning "const wxChar *" were changed as well. Mostly they now
+ return wxString which is then transparently convertible to either "const char
+ *" or "const wchar_t *" but in some cases, notably wxDateTime::ParseXXX(),
+ the returned string could be NULL and so a separate helper class is used. If
+ you obtain compilation errors because of this, you can always correct them by
+ explicitly assigning the function return value to a variable of wanted type.
+ A slightly more intrusive but better solution is to use ParseXXX() version
+ with wxString::const_iterator output parameter which simply returns bool to
+ indicate the parsing success.
- Some structure fields which used to be of type "const wxChar *" (such as
wxCmdLineEntryDesc::shortName, longName and description fields) are now of
were deprecated in favour of wxFileName methods. See docs for more info.
- wxEvtHandler::TryValidator/Parent() are deprecated, override the new and
documented TryBefore/After() methods if you used to override these ones.
-
+- wxGetMultipleChoices() is deprecated, use wxGetSelectedChoices() which has
+ the same signature but returns -1 and not 0 if the dialog was cancelled.
