- Some structure fields which used to be of type "const wxChar *" (such as
wxCmdLineEntryDesc::shortName, longName and description fields) are now of
type "const char *", you need to remove wxT() or _T() around the values used
- to initialize them (which should normally always be ASCII).

+ use the special wxT_2, which is the same as wxT in 2.x only, instead.
- wxIPC classes didn't work correctly in Unicode build before, this was fixed
but at a price of breaking backwards compatibility: many methods which used
were removed as they were unmaintained and broken since several years.

sizes of the sizer items to be in the same proportion as the items
proportions to return to the old behaviour.
+- Interpretation of font height in pixels parameter has changed in wxFont
+ ctor and SetPixelSize() in wxMSW: it is now used as character height and not
+ the total cell height. If you previously used negative height to explicitly
+ request character height matching, you may now change your code to use
+ positive value (passing negative height still works but is undocumented and
+ deprecated). If you used positive height before you should retest your code
+ to check if the changes correspond to your expectations. And if you do need
+ the old behaviour please contact us at wx-dev to let us know about it!
+
- wxWindow::Freeze/Thaw() are not virtual any more, if you overrode them in
- your code you need to override DoFreeze/Thaw() instead now.
+ your code you need to override DoFreeze/DoThaw() instead now.
- wxCalendarCtrl has native implementation in wxGTK, but it has less features
than the generic one. The native implementation is used by default, but you
or equivalent function should now be done into wxApp::OnEventLoopEnter().
See wxApp::OnEventLoopEnter() and wxApp::OnEventLoopExit() docs for more info.
+- wxLoadFileSelector() now allows the user to select existing files only.
+
+- Erase background events are now not generated at all when background style is
+ changed. See the updated wxWindow::SetBackgroundStyle() description in the
+ manual for more details.
+
+- wxTreeCtrl::GetSelection now asserts if the tree has the wxTR_MULTIPLE style.
+ Instead use GetSelections() for multiple items; or if you want only the
+ single item last touched, the new wxTreeCtrl::GetFocusedItem.
+
+- Custom log targets should be updated to override wxLog::DoLogRecord() method
+ instead of DoLog() or DoLogString() and must be updated if they call the base
+ class versions of these functions as this won't work any more; please see the
+ documentation of wxLog for more information.
+
+- Confusing wxGridSizer(int cols, int vgap = 0, int hgap = 0) ctor which was
+ easy to mistake for wxGridSizer(int rows, int cols) overload was removed, you
+ will need to specify both vertical and horizontal gap if you want to use this
+ overload or specify both rows and columns and the gap otherwise. Use of the
+ new constructors taking wxSize for the gap argument is preferred. The same
+ applies to wxFlexGridSizer as well.
+
+- wxBoxSizer::AddSpacer(x) now adds space in the direction of the sizer only
+ and not in both this and the orthogonal directions. This behaviour is what
+ most of the people expect but if you really relied on this overload adding
+ space in both directions you should change your code to use AddSpacer(x, x).
+
+- wxTextCtrl::LoadFile no longer sends a text update event.
+
+- wxXmlDocument::Save()'s indentstep argument's interpretation was fixed
+ to match the documentation: it now really is the number of spaces in
+ indentation instead of being its double. Its default value was changed
+ accordingly, to 2.
+
+- wxLOCALE_CONV_ENCODING flag has no effect now, catalogs are converted
+ regardless of whether the flag was specified or not. This only affects
+ legacy ANSI builds.
+
+- wxNotebook::GetSelection() returns the new page index when called from
+ wxEVT_COMMAND_NOTEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGED event handler in wxMSW, not the old one.
+ The new behaviour is consistent with wxGTK and more logical but different
+ from the previous versions. Using wxNotebookEvent::GetSelection() instead of
+ querying the notebook selection avoids the problem and is recommended.
+
+- wxMSW-specific wxAutomationObject::GetInstance() method now creates a new
+ instance if needed instead of failing if the application providing the
+ requested ProgID is not running. Pass wxAutomationInstance_UseExistingOnly
+ flag to it to revert to the old behaviour. It is also possible to use the
+ wxAutomationInstance_SilentIfNone flag to prevent the error message if no
+ currently running instances of this object are available.
+
+- Signatures of wxDataViewCustomRenderer::Activate(), LeftClick() and
+ StartDrag() virtual methods changed. You will need to change them in your
+ derived renderer class too if you override them.
+
+- wxThread::Wait() and wxThread::Delete() used to dispatch the events while
+ waiting for the thread to exit in wxMSW. They still do it in default build
+ with WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_8 defined but won't dispatch any events, i.e. the
+ default wait mode will become wxTHREAD_WAIT_BLOCK in the next wxWidgets
+ release so you are strongly encouraged to upgrade your code to stop relying
+ on this behaviour.
+
+- wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK events are not generated any more if the mouse is captured to
+ prevent the parent wxTopLevelWindow from interfering with the keyboard
+ handling of the window that captured the mouse.
+
Changes in behaviour which may result in compilation errors
-----------------------------------------------------------
- Virtual wxHtmlParser::AddText() takes wxString, not wxChar*, argument now.
-- Functions that took wxChar* arguments that could by NULL in wxWidgets 2.8
+- Functions that took wxChar* arguments that could be NULL in wxWidgets 2.8
are deprecated and passing NULL to them won't compile anymore, wxEmptyString
must be used instead.
You may use wxEventLoopBase::SuspendProcessingOfPendingEvents instead of
locking wxPendingEventsLocker now.
+- wxBitmapButton::GetBitmapXXX() overloads returning non-const wxBitmap
+ references have been removed, modifying the returned bitmaps never worked and
+ now results in compile-time error.
+
+- wxLogXXX() are now macros, not functions. Because of this calling them with
+ an explicit scope resolution operator ("::wxLogError()") doesn't work any
+ longer, just remove it. Also notice that using them inside an "if" statement
+ without enclosing parentheses results in warnings from g++ with -Wparentheses,
+ add parentheses around the if statement body to work around it.
+
+- wxList::Member() now returns bool and not a pointer/iterator. This shouldn't
+ require any changes as it was always meant to be used for checking for the
+ presence of an element in the list only. If you used it as Find(), simple do
+ use Find() instead.
+
+- wxLongLongFmtSpec is now a normal and not wide string so you will need to
+ change expressions of the form wxT("%") wxLongLongFmtSpec wxT("x") to
+ just "%" wxLongLongFmtSpec "x", i.e. simply remove wxT() from the strings you
+ concatenate with it.
+
+- wxST_MARKUP doesn't exist any more, use wxControl::SetLabelMarkup() instead.
+
Deprecated methods and their replacements
-----------------------------------------
on some ports (e.g. wxGTK).
You should now create windows placed inside a wxStaticBox as children of
the static box itself.
+- wxMouseState::{Left,Middle,Right}Down() were renamed to XXXIsDown() for
+ consistency with wxMouseEvent and the old names were deprecated.
+- wxFont::SetNoAntiAliasing() was deprecated, it never really worked in most
+ ports and was always marked as "experimental" API. It will be replaced with
+ wxDC-level anti-aliasing control in the future.
+- wxValidator::SetBellOnError() incorrectly interpreted its argument (it
+ disabled the bell when it was true) and was replaced by SuppressBellOnError()
+ with more expected semantics.
+- wxPORTRAIT and wxLANDSCAPE are now elements of wxPrintOrientation enum and
+ wxPrintData::SetOrientation(int) takes wxPrintOrientation and not int.
+- Second parameter of wxSlider::SetTickFreq(int n, int pos) is deprecated,
+ simply remove it from your code and use wxSlider::SetTickFreq(int n) as it
+ was never used anyhow.
Major new features in this release
----------------------------------
- New propgrid library containing wxPropertyGrid and related classes.
+- new ribbon library for advanced toolbars.
+
- Many enhancements to wxDataViewCtrl.
- Event loops, timers and sockets can now be used in wxBase, without GUI.

------
+INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.9.0

+
