All:
+- wxEvent and derived classes don't have public members any more, you must
+ use accessors methods now (Mart Raudsepp)
- new classes for reading and writing ZIP files (M.J.Wetherell)
+- large files support for wxFFile (M.J.Wetherell)
+- classes in the manual are now cross-referenced (Zbigniew Zagórski)
- Norwegian (Bokmål) translation added (Hans F. Nordhaug)
- wxDynamicLibrary::HasSymbol() added
+- added wxEXEC_NODISABLE flag to be used with wxExecute(wxEXEC_SYNC)
- added wxTextInputStream::operator>>(wchar_t) for compilers which support this
- added wxURI, a class for dealing with Uniform Resource Identifiers
- changed wxURL to inherit from wxURI and provide assignment and comparison
- added versions of MB2WC and WC2MB for wxMBConv that for embedded null chars
- Unicode support in wxODBC is now fully implemented
- A new data type specific to wxWidgets called SQL_C_WXCHAR has been introduced.
- SQL_C_WXCHAR should be used rather than SQL_C_CHAR to ensure transparent
+ SQL_C_WXCHAR should be used rather than SQL_C_CHAR to ensure transparent
behavior between Unicode and non-unicode builds
- BLOB example added to samples/db (thanks to Casey ODonnell)
- use wxStream::GetLength() instead of deprecated GetSize()
- wxGetOsDescription() is now more precise (Olly Betts)
- XRC supports system fonts and colours (Ray Gilbert)
+- Added flags argument to wxKill/wxProcess::Kill to kill child processes.
+- Added wxPrintFactory classes so that it is possible to add a new
+ print system backend at run-time. This was required by the new GNOME
+ printing stuff in the GTK port.
+- Deprecated print setup dialog.
+- Added support to the wxODBC classes for Firebird 1.5 database
+- The samples\db sample program now includes an optional example of using a BLOB
+ datatype (if BLOB support is enabled and supported by the database)
+- added wxDynamicLibrary::ListLoaded()
+- wxGetPowerType() and wxGetBatteryState() addition
+- wxSystemSettings::GetSystem*() members deprecated and replaced with
+ wxSystemSettings::Get*()
+- wxWindowBase::DoGetBestSize now includes the difference (if any) between
+ the client size and total size of the window. Code that sets the
+ client size using the best size, or that added extra space to sizers
+ to compensate for this bug may need to be changed.
+- Changed calculation of scrolling area to not clip away some bits
+ due to a rounding error.
+- Changed GetVirtualSize() to return client size by default until
+ SetVirtualSize() gets called. From then on it will only return
+ that.
+- Various changes to how wxListCtrl and wxTreeCtrl react to right
+ mouse clicks and left mouse click for starting a drag operation.
+
All (GUI):
+- added wxMediaCtrl
+- added wxDatePickerCtrl
+- wxHtmlWindow now supports background images given in <body> tag
+- wxSplitterWindow now supports gravity parameter (Zbigniew Zagórski)
- recursive wxSizer::GetItem returns item of given window, sizer or nth index
- wxLayoutConstraints now use best size, not current size, for AsIs() condition
- wxSizer::Add/Insert etc. now returns pointer to wxSizerItem just added and this
book control (for now wxChoicebook for MSSmartphone, wxNotebook for others).
Necessary event macros, types and styles mapped accordingly.
- new wxBrush::IsHatch() checking for brush type replaces IS_HATCH macro
+- wxProgressDialog accepts smooth gauge again (wxPD_SMOOTH style)
+- wxProgressDialog new style: wxPD_CAN_SKIP which provides skipping some parts
+ of the progress (with new "Skip" button in dialog)
Unix:
wxGTK:
+- Added printing support by way of using libgnomeprint. The library
+ now checks at runtime, if the library is installed and will use it
+ if it is. Otherwise, it will fall back to the old PostScript printing
+ 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
+- Corrected Input method handler code (for Chinese etc.) and its
+ interaction with wxWidgets' events.
wxMac:
+- Vertical sliders oriented consistent with MSW/GTK (0 at top) (Kevin Hock)
- wxDynamicLibrary::GetDllExt() now returns ".bundle", not ".dylib"
- wxDynamicLibrary::GetSymbol() now prepends underscore to the symbol name
+- wxJoystick now works on OSX
wxMSW:
- fixed enhanced metafiles loading from files (Andreas Goebel)
- wxRadioButtons no longer have to be consecutive in a group
+- fixed spurious selection of combobox text during resize
+- pass correct tool id (and not always -1) to EVT_TOOL_RCLICKED() handler
+- added wxRegKey::Export(file)
+
+wxWinCE:
+- Added support for MS Handheld PC 2000. This was done before 2.5.4,
+ but not mentioned anywhere.
+- Added (preliminary) support for sockets
wxUniv:
- 3rd state support for checkboxes
- wxLB_SORT and wxCB_SORT now cause case-insensitive sorting
+wxPalmOS:
+
+- William Osborne has won and new port was born
+ (see: "wxPalmOS porting challenge")
+- polishing of the port (unnecessary 2.4 API compatibility, removed
+ all wxMSW specific code which was base for the new port)
+- enumeration of available volumes
+- native wxPrefConfig around Preferences database
+- native wxProgressDialog implementation
+- native wxColourDialog implementation
+- native wxSystemSettings colours
+- native wxButton implementation
+- native wxCheckBox implementation
+- native wxSlider implementation
+- native wxToggleButton implementation
+- native wxRadioButton implementation
+- native wxStaticText implementation
