Changes in behaviour not resulting in compilation errors, please read this!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+- Don't pass wxString::c_str() to vararg functions any more! Due to Unicode
+ changes, c_str() now returns an object and not a simple char pointer, so
+ using it with vararg functions does not work any more. The preferred
+ solution is to use wx-provided equivalents, e.g. wxPrintf() instead of
+ printf() which has the added benefit that you don't need to call c_str()
+ any more and can pass wxString objects directly. If this is impossible,
+ add explicit casts to "const char*" or "const wchar_t*". See wxString
+ documentation for more details.
+
+ Notice that using wxString::c_str() with vararg functions does result in
+ compilation errors with g++ and most other compilers but not MSVC. Try to
+ build your code with g++ to detect all such problems at compile-time.
+
- Default location of wxFileConfig files has changed under Windows, you will
need to update your code if you access these files directly.
GetEventObject() in all ports but the frame the menu was attached to in wxMSW.
Now all ports return the menu that was opened or closed as the event object.
+- wxAny now uses C locale format for the floating point numbers and not the
+ current locale one, i.e. decimal point is always used.
+
Changes in behaviour which may result in compilation errors
-----------------------------------------------------------
any more. Use wxBookCtrlEvent in your code if you need to forward-declare
it or just include the appropriate header instead of forward declaration.
+- wxStandardPaths class can't be created now. This was never the right thing
+ to do, wxStandardPaths::Get() always had to be used to access the global
+ object of the correct type but now doing it results in a compilation error.
+
Deprecated methods and their replacements
-----------------------------------------
Build system changes
--------------------
+- Cocoa is now used by default under OS X instead of Carbon. Pass --with-carbon
+ option to configure to use wxCarbon.
+
- In wxMSW makefile builds, "_x64" is used instead of "_amd64" when compiling
for this architecture in the architecture-specific paths and library names.
TARGET_CPU can still be specified as "amd64" for compatibility but "x64"
was added.
