-- Some classes (notably wxBitmap and wxImage) don't define operator==() as it
- used to work in somewhat unexpected way as it compared only internal pointers
- and not the object data. The code using it will have to be updated:
- * If the object was compared with wxNullXXX, use IsOk() method instead
- * If valid object need to be compared, use IsSameAs() to reproduce the old
- behaviour or change the code to avoid comparing bitmaps &c
-- wxFontData::GetColour() now returns a const colour.
-- wxDC objects can't be created directly now (this never worked, now it doesn't
- even compile).
-- wxCHECK family of macros now must be followed by a semicolon.
-- wxMBConv::cMB2WC() and cWC2MB() take size of the input buffer and return
- length of the converted string in all cases now.
-- wxHtmlWindow::OnCellClicked() now returns bool.
-- wxHtmlCell::OnMouseClick() was deprecated and replaced with
- wxHtmlCell::ProcessMouseClick(); old code overriding OnMouseClick() will
- continue to work with WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_6, but should be rewritten to
- use ProcessMouseClick().
-- wxHtmlCell::GetCursor() was deprecated and replaced with
- wxHtmlCell::GetMouseCursor(); old code overriding GetCursor() will
- continue to work with WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_6, but should be rewritten to
- use GetMouseCursor().
-- wxHtmlCell::AdjustPagebreak() signature has changed, update your code if you
- override it.
-- wxFontEnumerator::GetFacenames() and GetEncodings() now return arrays and
- not pointers to arrays.
-- SetDefaultItem() method was moved from wxPanel to wxTopLevelWindow
-- wxDialog::OnOK/OnCancel() don't exist any more, use SetAffirmative/EscapeId()
-- wxPathList doesn't derive from (deprecated) wxStringList any more
-- wxGLContext class has no 1:1 coupling to a wxGLCanvas class any more.
- As a consequence, the class interface changed largely. Code updates, if
- any are required at all, are easy to accomplish though.
