-\subsubsection{Less drastic incompatable changes since 2.4.x}\label{24incompatiblelessdrastic}
-
-- no initialization/cleanup can be done in wxApp/~wxApp because they are
- now called much earlier/later than before; please move any exiting code
- from there to wxApp::OnInit()/OnExit()
-
-- also, OnExit() is not called if OnInit() fails
-
-- finally the program exit code is OnRun() return value, not OnExit() one
-
-- wxTheApp can't be assigned to any longer, use wxApp::SetInstance() instead
-
-- wxFileType::GetIcon() returns wxIconLocation, not wxIcon
-
-- wxColourDatabase is not a wxList any more, use AddColour to add new colours
-
-- wxWindow::Clear() is now called ClearBackground()
-
-- pointer returned by wxFont::GetNativeFontInfo() must not be deleted now
-
-- wxMouseEvent::Moving() doesn't return true if mouse is being dragged any more
-
-- (most) controls now inherit parents colours by default, override
- ShouldInheritColours() to return false if you don't want this to happen
-
-- wxApp::SendIdleEvent() now takes 2 arguments
-
-- wxTabView::GetLayers() changed return type from wxList& to wxTabLayerList&
- (when WXWIN\_COMPATIBILITY\_2\_4 == 0)
-
-- wxID\_SEPARATOR (id used for the menu separators) value changed from -1 to -2
-
-- wxGetNumberFromUser() is now in separate wx/numdlg.h, not wx/textdlg.h
-
-- wxChoice and wxCombobox now handle their size in the same way as in all the
- other ports under MSW, new code is actually correct but different from weird
- stuff they were doing before so the behaviour of your programs might change
-
-- wxTaskBarIcon objects must now be destroyed before the application can exit.
- Previously, the application terminated if there were no top level windows;
- now it terminates if there are no top level windows or taskbar icons left.
-
-- wxZlibInputStream is not by default compatible with the output of the
- 2.4.x version of wxZlibOutputStream. However, there is a compatibility mode,
- switched on by passing wxZLIB\_24COMPATIBLE to the constructor.
-
-- when WXWIN\_COMPATIBILITY\_2\_4 == 0 wxHashTable uses a new implementation
- not using wxList keyed interface (the same used when wxUSE\_STL == 1),
- the only incompatibility being that Next() returns a wxHashTable::Node*
- instead of a wxNode*.
-
-- non-const wxDC methods GetBackground(), GetBrush(), GetFont() and GetPen()
- as well as wxWindow methods GetFont() and GetCursor() don't exist any more,
- please fix your code -- it never worked correctly anyhow if you modified the
- objects returned by these methods so you should simply switch to using const
- methods.
-
-- wxWindow::GetFont() now returns wxFont object instead of reference
-
-- EVT\_XXX macros are now type-safe; code that uses wrong type for event
- handler's argument will no longer compile.
-
-- Identical functionality of wxFileDialog::ParseWildcard,
- wxGenericDirCtrl::ParseFilter, Motif and MSW parsing native dialogs
- is now accessible in ::wxParseCommonDialogsFilter
-
-- wxNotebookSizer and wxBookCtrlSizer are now deprecated -- they are no longer
- needed, you can treat wxNotebook as any other control and put it directly
- into the sizer that was wxNotebookSizer's parent sizer in old code.
-
-- wxFile methods now return either wxFileOffset or wxFileSize\_t which may be a
- 64 bit integer type, even on 32 bit platforms, instead of off\_t and so the
- return value of wxFile::Length(), for example, shouldn't be assigned to off\_t
- variable any more (the compiler might warn you about this)
-
-- wxListItem::m\_data is now of type wxUIntPtr, not long, for compatibility
- with 64 bit systems
-
-- wxSizer::Add/Insert returns pointer to wxSizerItem just added so conditions
- writeen with if(Add(..)==true) will not work. Use if(Add(..)) instead.
-
-- New wxBrush::IsHatch() checking for brush type replaces IS_HATCH macro.
-
-
-
-\subsection{Depreciated changes since 2.4.x}\label{depreciatedsince24}
-
-- wxURL::GetInputStream() and similar functionality has been depreciated in
- favor of other ways of connecting, such as though sockets or wxFileSystem.
-
-- wxDocManager::GetNoHistoryFiles() renamed to GetHistoryFilesCount()
-
-- wxSizer::Remove(wxWindow *), use Detach() instead [it is more clear]
-
-- wxSizer::Set/GetOption(): use Set/GetProportion() instead
-
-- wxKeyEvent::KeyCode(): use GetKeyCode instead
-
-- wxList::Number, First, Last, Nth: use GetCount, GetFirst/Last, Item instead
-
-- wxNode::Next, Previous, Data: use GetNext, GetPrevious, GetData instead
-
-- wxListBase::operator wxList&(): use typesafe lists instead
-
-- wxTheFontMapper: use wxFontMapper::Get() instead
-
-- wxStringHashTable: use wxHashMap instead
-
-- wxHashTableLong: use wxHashMap instead
-
-- wxArrayString::GetStringArray: use wxCArrayString or alternative wxWidgets
- methods taking wxArrayString
-
-- wxArrayString::Remove(index, count): use RemoveAt instead
-
-- wxTreeItemId conversion to long is deprecated and shouldn't be used
-
-- wxTreeCtrl::GetFirst/NextChild() 2nd argument now has type wxTreeItemIdValue
- and not long, please change declarations of "cookie"s in your code
- accordingly -- otherwise your code won't work on 64 bit platforms
-
-- [MSW only] wxWindow::GetUseCtl3D(), GetTransparentBackground() and
- SetTransparent() as well as wxNO\_3D and wxUSER\_COLOURS styles
-
-- wxList keyed interface: use wxHashMap instead
-
-- wxColourDatabase::FindColour(): use Find() instead (NB: different ret type)
-
-- wxHashTable::Next: use wxHashTable::Node* or
- wxHashTable::compatibility\_iterator to store the return
- value
-
-- wxWave class; use wxSound instead
-
-- The wxHIDE\_READONLY flag for wxFileDialog was not implemented
- and has now been removed
