- Default location of wxFileConfig files has changed under Windows, you will
need to update your code if you access these files directly.
-- Return value of wxStandardPaths::GetUserDataDir() and similar functions has
- changed if the vendor name is defined as it now includes it by default under
- Windows and OS X. Call wxStandardPaths::UseAppInfo(AppInfo_AppName) to
- revert to behaviour compatible with 2.8 version.
-
- wxWindow::IsEnabled() now returns false if a window parent (and not
necessarily the window itself) is disabled, new function IsThisEnabled()
with the same behaviour as old IsEnabled() was added.
sizes of the sizer items to be in the same proportion as the items
proportions to return to the old behaviour.
+- Interpretation of font height in pixels parameter has changed in wxFont
+ ctor and SetPixelSize() in wxMSW: it is now used as character height and not
+ the total cell height. If you previously used negative height to explicitly
+ request character height matching, you may now change your code to use
+ positive value (passing negative height still works but is undocumented and
+ deprecated). If you used positive height before you should retest your code
+ to check if the changes correspond to your expectations. And if you do need
+ the old behaviour please contact us at wx-dev to let us know about it!
+
- wxWindow::Freeze/Thaw() are not virtual any more, if you overrode them in
your code you need to override DoFreeze/DoThaw() instead now.
and not in both this and the orthogonal directions. This behaviour is what
most of the people expect but if you really relied on this overload adding
space in both directions you should change your code to use AddSpacer(x, x).
-
+
- wxTextCtrl::LoadFile no longer sends a text update event.
+- wxXmlDocument::Save()'s indentstep argument's interpretation was fixed
+ to match the documentation: it now really is the number of spaces in
+ indentation instead of being its double. Its default value was changed
+ accordingly, to 2.
+
+- wxLOCALE_CONV_ENCODING flag has no effect now, catalogs are converted
+ regardless of whether the flag was specified or not. This only affects
+ legacy ANSI builds.
+
+- wxNotebook::GetSelection() returns the new page index when called from
+ wxEVT_COMMAND_NOTEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGED event handler in wxMSW, not the old one.
+ The new behaviour is consistent with wxGTK and more logical but different
+ from the previous versions. Using wxNotebookEvent::GetSelection() instead of
+ querying the notebook selection avoids the problem and is recommended.
+
+- wxMSW-specific wxAutomationObject::GetInstance() method now creates a new
+ instance if needed instead of failing if the application providing the
+ requested ProgID is not running. Pass wxAutomationInstance_UseExistingOnly
+ flag to it to revert to the old behaviour.
+
Changes in behaviour which may result in compilation errors
-----------------------------------------------------------
presence of an element in the list only. If you used it as Find(), simple do
use Find() instead.
+- wxLongLongFmtSpec is now a normal and not wide string so you will need to
+ change expressions of the form wxT("%") wxLongLongFmtSpec wxT("x") to
+ just "%" wxLongLongFmtSpec "x", i.e. simply remove wxT() from the strings you
+ concatenate with it.
+
Deprecated methods and their replacements
-----------------------------------------
the static box itself.
- wxMouseState::{Left,Middle,Right}Down() were renamed to XXXIsDown() for
consistency with wxMouseEvent and the old names were deprecated.
+- wxFont::SetNoAntiAliasing() was deprecated, it never really worked in most
+ ports and was always marked as "experimental" API. It will be replaced with
+ wxDC-level anti-aliasing control in the future.
+- wxValidator::SetBellOnError() incorrectly interpreted its argument (it
+ disabled the bell when it was true) and was replaced by SuppressBellOnError()
+ with more expected semantics.
+- wxPORTRAIT and wxLANDSCAPE are now elements of wxPrintOrientation enum and
+ wxPrintData::SetOrientation(int) takes wxPrintOrientation and not int.
