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*.
+
- DigitalMars compiler has a bug that prevents it from using
wxUniChar::operator bool in conditions and it erroneously reports type
conversion ambiguity in expressions such as this:
This can be worked around by explicitly casting to bool:
for ( wxString::const_iterator p = s.begin(); (bool)*p; ++p )
+- Virtual wxHtmlParser::AddText() takes wxString, not wxChar*, argument now.
+
+- 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.
+
+- wxTmemxxx() functions take either wxChar* or char*, not void*: use memxxx()
+ with void pointers.
+
+- Removed insecure wxGets() and wxTmpnam() functions.
+
+- Removed global GetLine() function from wx/protocol/protocol.h, use
+ wxProtocol::ReadLine() instead.
+
+
Deprecated methods and their replacements
-----------------------------------------
or wxStringBufferLength instead.
- wxDIRCTRL_SHOW_FILTERS style is deprecated, filters are alwsys shown if
specified so this style should simply be removed
+- wxDocManager::MakeDefaultName() replaced by MakeNewDocumentName() and
+ wxDocument::GetPrintableName() with GetUserReadableName() which are simpler
+ to use
+- wxXmlProperty class was renamed to wxXmlAttribute in order to use standard
+ terminology. Corresponding wxXmlNode methods were renamed to use
+ "Attribute" instead of "Property" or "Prop" in their names.
