wxWidgets Change Log
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.6.x
+INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.8.x
================================
Changes in behaviour not resulting in compilation errors, please read this!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- For all wxInputStreams, Eof() becomes true after an attempt has been made
- to read _past_ the end of file.
-- wxFileName::DirExists() checks if the path of the file is a directory, not
- if the whole name is a directory.
-- wxDialog::CreateButtonSizer() may return NULL now, please see the manual.
-- wxStaticBoxSizer now deletes the associated wxStaticBox when it is deleted.
-- wxArray::Alloc() now works as reserve() and does not clear the array any more
-- Windows calling CaptureMouse() are now required to handle the
- wxEVT_MOUSE_CAPTURE_LOST event and not call ReleaseMouse() in this case.
-- wxInputStream::GetC() now returns an int in the range 0 - 255 on success
- instead of a char the range -128 - 127.

Changes in behaviour which may result in compilation errors
-----------------------------------------------------------
-- 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.
-
-
-Deprecated methods since 2.6.x and their replacements
------------------------------------------------------
-
-- wxGetWorkingDirectory() deprecated in favour of wxGetCwd().
-- wxDC::BeginDrawing() and wxDC::EndDrawing() deprecated, don't use them.
-- wxWindowBase::GetBestFittingSize --> wxWindowBase::GetEffectiveMinSize.
-- wxWindowBase::SetBestFittingSize --> wxWindowBase::SetInitialSize.
-- Seeking on a zip stream returned from wxFileSystem without using the new
- wxFS_SEEKABLE flags is deprecated. You can still seek, but use the flag.
-- Constructor wxZipInputStream(const wxString& archive, const wxString& file)
- deprecated in favour of wxFileSystem (other zip ctors are not deprecated).
-- wx{Dir|File}Dialog::{Set|Get}Style deprecated in favour of the generic
- wxWindow::{Set|Get}WindowStyle()
-
-
-Major new features in 2.8 release
----------------------------------
-
-- New AUI library supporting docking windows and much more.
-- New rich text control library implementing a generic wxRichTextCtrl,
- using only the wxWidgets API. Also includes formatting dialogs, conversion
- to HTML, and printing classes.
-- New wxComboCtrl class giving the ability to create custom, graphical
- comboboxes. Associated classes include wxOwnerDrawnComboBox, wxComboPopup
- and wxBitmapComboBox.
-- Further functionality including wxAnimationCtrl (moved from contrib/src/anim
- and enhanced), wxSimpleHtmlListBox, wxHyperlinkCtrl, wxColourPickerCtrl,
- wxDirPickerCtrl, wxFilePickerCtrl, wxFontPickerCtrl, wxCollapsiblePane,
- wxSearchCtrl, wxAboutBox, wxTreebook, tar streams.
