size to be used by the sizers.
* The best size of a window is cached so it doesn't need to
- recaculated on every layout. wxWindow::InvalidateBestSize was
+ recalculated on every layout. wxWindow::InvalidateBestSize was
added and should be called (usually just internally in control
methods) whenever something is done that would make the best
size change.
At this time, the only situation known not to work the same as
before is the following:
- win = new SomeWidget(parent);
- win->SetSize(SomeNonDefaultSize);
- sizer->Add(win);
+ win = new SomeWidget(parent);
+ win->SetSize(SomeNonDefaultSize);
+ sizer->Add(win);
In this case the old code would have used the new size as the
minimum, but now the sizer will use the default size as the minimum
control is sized to a blending of the min size and best size.
This can be done by calling SetBestFittingSize.
+! wxURL has undergone some radical changes.
+ * Many accessors of wxURL - GetHostName, GetProtocolName, and GetPath,
+ have been replaced by its parent's (wxURI) counterparts - GetServer,
+ GetScheme, and GetPath, respectively.
+
+ * ConvertToValidURI has been replaced by wxURI. Do not use
+ ConvertToValidURI for future applications.
+ * ConvertFromURI has been replaced by wxURI::Unescape.
+
- 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()
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,
+ 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),
- Identical functionality of wxFileDialog::ParseWildcard,
wxGenericDirCtrl::ParseFilter, Motif and MSW parsing native dialogs
is now accessible in ::wxParseCommonDialogsFilter
-- wxNotebookSizer and wxBookCtrlSizer are now deprecated -- the are no longer
+- 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
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.
+- 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
- The wxHIDE_READONLY flag for wxFileDialog was not implemented
and has now been removed
- wxTaskBarIcon::OnXXX() virtual methods: use events instead
+- obsolete and not used wxUSE_GENERIC_DIALOGS_IN_MSW has been removed
+- wxDbTable::wxDbTable with wxChar* deprecated, same with wxString& instead
