================================
series.

- wxFULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE to force this (wxNO_FULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE stll
+ 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)
the only incompatibility being that Next() returns a wxHashTable::Node*
instead of a wxNode*.
- non-const wxDC methods GetBackground(), GetBrush(), GetFont() and GetPen()
- 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.
+ 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
+- wxNotebookSizer and wxBookCtrlSizer are now deprecated -- the 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.
-wxTaskBarIcon must be explicitly destroyed now, otherwise the application
- won't exit even though there are no top level windows
DEPRECATED METHODS SINCE 2.4.x
wxHashTable::compatibility_iterator to store the return
value

+- The wxHIDE_READONLY flag for wxFileDialog was not implemented
+ and has now been removed
