or equivalent function should now be done into wxApp::OnEventLoopEnter().
See wxApp::OnEventLoopEnter() and wxApp::OnEventLoopExit() docs for more info.
+- wxDialogs get wxEVT_SIZE events immediately after creation in wxMSW, as with
+ wxFrames. This means that this event handler may be called earlier than in
+ 2.8, check that all the controls are initialized before using them in it.
+
- wxLoadFileSelector() now allows the user to select existing files only.
- Erase background events are now not generated at all when background style is
behaved differently in wxMSW and wxGTK/wxOSX before) if more than one item
is selected in a control with wxDV_MULTIPLE style.
+- wxEVT_COMMAND_MENU_SELECTED, MENU_OPEN and CLOSE events returned a menu from
+ GetEventObject() in all ports but the frame the menu was attached to in wxMSW.
+ Now all ports return the menu that was opened or closed as the event object.
+
Changes in behaviour which may result in compilation errors
-----------------------------------------------------------
- WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_4 doesn't exist any more, please update your code if
you still relied on features deprecated since version 2.4
+- WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_6 still exists but is 0 by default in this release and
+ will be removed in 3.2. You can set it to 1 and rebuild wxWidgets to access
+ the old and deprecated symbols but please consider updating your code
+ instead. Here are replacements for some of the obsolete symbols:
+ + wxSAVE and wxOPEN -> wxFD_SAVE and wxFD_OPEN
+ + WXK_PRIOR and WXK_NEXT -> WXK_PAGEUP and WXK_PAGEDOWN
+ + wxRESIZE_BOX -> wxMAXIMIZE_BOX
+ + wxTHICK_FRAME -> wxRESIZE_BORDER
+ + wxPROCESS_ENTER and wxPASSWORD -> wxTE_PROCESS_ENTER and wxTE_PASSWORD
+ + EVT_SCROLL_ENDSCROLL -> EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED
+ + NewControlId -> wxWindow::NewControlId()
+ + wxFileHistory::GetNoHistoryFiles() -> wxFileHistory::GetCount()
+ + wxSizerItem::SetOption() -> wxSizerItem::SetProportion()
+ + wxSizer::Remove(wxWindow*) -> wxSizer::Detach()
+
- wxDC classes hierarchy has changed, if you derived any classes from wxDC you
need to review them as wxDC doesn't have any virtual methods any longer and
uses delegation instead of inheritance to present different behaviours.
result in compilation errors due to an ambiguity between them if you pass
NULL as client data. To fix this, cast NULL explicitly to "void**".
+- wxChoicebookEvent, wxListbookEvent, wxNotebookEvent, wxToolbookEvent and
+ wxTreebookEvent are now all synonyms for wxBookCtrlEvent. The existing code
+ using the old names continues to work but they can't be forward-declared
+ any more. Use wxBookCtrlEvent in your code if you need to forward-declare
+ it or just include the appropriate header instead of forward declaration.

Deprecated methods and their replacements

+Changes in behaviour visible to end users
+-----------------------------------------
+
+- In wxMSW wxSpinCtrl used to prevent the user from entering more digits than
+ could fit in its visible area. This was inconsistent with the other ports and
+ now the control scrolls if too much text is added.
