-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.4.x
-================================
+2.6.2
+-----
- 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.
+All:
+
+- Fixed wxScopeGuard to work with VC++, documented it.
+- Fixed proxy handling in wxURL.
+- Added wxEVT_MEDIA_LOADED event for wxMediaCtrl.
+- Added new methods to wxMediaCtrl (wxURI version of Load, ShowPlayerControls).
+- Added wxZipFSHandler::Cleanup() (Stas Sergeev).
+- Added wxImage::RotateHue() and RGB <-> HSV conversions (John Anderson).
+- Fixed compilation with IBM xlC compiler.
+- wxABI_VERSION, see 'Backward Compatibility' topic overview in the manual.
+- Added wxLongLong::ToDouble()
+- Added wxDateTime::[Make]FromTimezone(), fixed several TZ-related bugs
+- Fixed bug in wxStreamBuffer::Read(wxStreamBuffer *) (Paul Cornett)
+- Fixed wxListbook and wxChoicebook internal layout.
- 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 still
- 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
-- 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 compatibilty 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.
-- 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
-
-
-
-DEPRECATED METHODS SINCE 2.4.x
-==============================

-Deprecated methods may still be used but will disappear in future wxWidgets
-versions, please update your code to not use them.
-
-- wxDocManager::GetNoHistoryFiles() renamed to GetHistoryFilesCount()

- SetTransparent() as well as wxNO_3D and wxUSER_COLOURS styles

+- wxSystemSettings::GetSystem*() members deprecated and replaced with
+ wxSystemSettings::Get*()
+- wxWindowBase::DoGetBestSize now includes the difference (if any) between

+ item remembers its wxRect area (Brian A. Vanderburg II)
+- wxBookCtrl renamed to wxBookCtrlBase, wxBookCtrl is reserved for most native

+- added wxImage::InitAlpha()
+
+Unix:
+
+- wxPuts() now correctly outputs trailing new line in Unicode build
+
+wxGTK:
+
+- Added printing support by way of using libgnomeprint. The library

+ code, from which the Pango drawing code was removed.
+- Implemented/improved wxDC::DrawRotatedText()
+- fixed wxFileDialog::SetWildcard()
+- native file dialog is now used if available (Zbigniew Zagorski)
+- implemented wxTextCtrl::Freeze() and Thaw(). The GtkTextBuffer
+ is not a valid one during frozen state. Get a pointer to it right
+ after wxTextCtrl creation if you really need to. (Mart Raudsepp)
+- Changed calls to GTK+ 2.4.x functions so that the code checks at
+ runtime, which library version is installed so that these functions
+ are only called with GTK+ 2.4.x installed and should yield linker
+ errors otherwise.
+- wxTextCtrl text insertion efficiency fixed. (Mart Raudsepp)
+- Added wxRawBitmap support

+ interaction with wxWidgets' events.
