under 64 bit architectures, please replace it with RemoveAt() in your
code.
+- wxArray<T> macros have been changed to fix runtime problems under 64 bit
+ architectures and as a side effect of this WX_DEFINE_ARRAY() can only be
+ used now for the pointer types, WX_DEFINE_ARRAY_INT should be used for the
+ arrays containing non-pointers.
+
- wxObject::CopyObject() and Clone() methods were removed because they
simply don't make sense for all objects
by all derived classes, if you have user-defined event classes please
add "wxEvent *Clone() const { return new MyEvent(*this); }" line to them
+- wxCondition now must be used with a mutex, please read the (updated) class
+ documentation for details and revise your code accordingly: this change was
+ unfortunately needed as the old class didn't behave correctly in all cases
+
+- small change to wxStopWatch::Pause() semantics, please see the documentation
+
+
All (GUI):
- the event type constants are not constants any more but are dynamically
but this is strongly discouraged, please consider changing your codei
instead!
+- wxDialog does not derive from wxPanel any longer - if you were using it in
+ your code, please update it. The quick fix for the most cases is to replace
+ the occurences of wxPanel with wxWindow.
+
- wxYES_NO is now wxYES | wxNO and the manifest values of both wxYES and wxNO
have changed (to fix some unfortunate clashes), please check your code to
ensure that no tests for wxYES or wxNO are broken: for example, the following
- wxGridCellAttrProvider class API changed, you will need to update your code
if you derived any classes from it
+- wxImage::ComputeHistogram()'s signature changed to
+ unsigned long ComputeHistogram(wxImageHistogram&) const
+
+- wxEvtHandler cannot be copied/assigned any longer - this never worked but
+ now it results in compile-time error instead of run-time crashes
+
+- WXK_NUMLOCK and WXK_SCROLL keys no longer result in EVT_CHAR() events,
+ they only generate EVT_KEY_DOWN/UP() ones
+
+- the dialogs use wxApp::GetTopWindow() as the parent implicitly if the
+ parent specified is NULL, use wxDIALOG_NO_PARENT style to prevent this
+ from happening
+
+
wxMSW:
- build system changed: setup.h is not a static file in include/wx any more
but is created as part of the build process under lib/<toolkit>/wx/include
where <toolkit> is of the form (msw|univ)[dll][u][d]. You'll need to update
- the include path in your make/project files appropriately.
+ the include path in your make/project files appropriately. Furthermore,
+ xpm.lib is no longer used by wxMSW, it was superseded by the wxXPMDecoder
+ class. You'll need to remove all references to xpm.lib from your
+ make/project files.
- child frames appear in the taskbar by default now, use wxFRAME_NO_TASKBAR
style to avoid it, wxFRAME_FLOAT_ON_PARENT style is now obsolete and has no
effect
+- all overloads of wxDC::SetClippingRegion() combine the given region with the
+ previously selected one instead of replacing it
+
+- wxGetHomeDir() uses HOME environment variable and if it is set will not
+ return the programs directory any longer but its value (this function has
+ never been meant to return the programs directory anyhow)
+
+- wxHTML apps don't need to include wx/html/msw/wxhtml.rc in resources file
+ anymore. The file was removed from wxMSW
+
+
Unix ports:
- You should use `wx-config --cxxflags` in your makefiles instead of
and the compiler flags for C++ files only, CFLAGS should still be used
to compile pure C files.
