INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.4.x
================================
+ Please take a few minutes to read the following list, especially
+ paying attention to the most important changes which are marked
+ with '!' in the first column.
+
+ Also please note that you should ensure that WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_4
+ is defined to 1 if you wish to retain maximal compatibility with 2.4
+ series.
+
+! windows are no longer fully repainted when resized, use new style
+ wxFULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE to force this (wxNO_FULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE stll
+ exists but doesn't do anything any more, this behaviour is default now)
+
+
- 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
- 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)
DEPRECATED METHODS SINCE 2.4.x
- wxTreeItemId conversion to long is deprecated and shouldn't be used
- [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
