sizes of the sizer items to be in the same proportion as the items
proportions to return to the old behaviour.
+- wxWindow::Freeze/Thaw() are not virtual any more, if you overrode them in
+ your code you need to override DoFreeze/Thaw() instead now.
+
+
Changes in behaviour which may result in compilation errors
-----------------------------------------------------------
- WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_4 doesn't exist any more, please update your code if
you still relied on features deprecated since version 2.4
+- wxDC classes hierarchy has changed, if you derived any classes from wxDC you
+ need to review them as wxDC doesn't have any virtual methods any longer and
+ uses delegation instead of inheritance to present different behaviours.
+
- Return type of wxString::operator[] and wxString::iterator::operator* is no
longer wxChar (i.e. char or wchar_t), but wxUniChar. This is not a problem
in vast majority of cases because of conversion operators, but it can break
- Removed global GetLine() function from wx/protocol/protocol.h, use
wxProtocol::ReadLine() instead.
-
+
- wxVariant no longer derives from wxObject. wxVariantData also no longer
derives from wxObject; instead of using wxDynamicCast with wxVariantData you
can use the macro wxDynamicCastVariantData with the same arguments.
- wxXmlProperty class was renamed to wxXmlAttribute in order to use standard
terminology. Corresponding wxXmlNode methods were renamed to use
"Attribute" instead of "Property" or "Prop" in their names.
+- wxConnection::OnExecute() is not formally deprecated yet but new code should
+ use simpler OnExec() version which is called with wxString argument
Major new features in this release
----------------------------------
+- wxWidgets is now always built with Unicode support but provides the same
+ simple (i.e. "char *"-tolerant) API as was available in ANSI build in the
+ past.
+
+- wxWidgets may now use either wchar_t (UTF-16/32) or UTF-8 internally,
+ depending on what is optimal for the target platform.
+
+- Events loops, timers and sockets can now be used in wxBase, without GUI.
