+OLD CHANGES
+===========
INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.2.x
================================
your code without this define as it won't be default any longer in
2.6 release.
+ NB: if you want to build your program with different major versions
+ of wxWindows you will probably find the wxCHECK_VERSION() macro
+ (see the documentation) useful.
+
wxBase:
must modify YourApp::OnAssert() signature if you were using it to override
the default assert handling.
-
All (GUI):
! the event type constants are not constants any more but are dynamically
if ( flags & wxYES )
... do something else ...
+- static wxWizard::Create() doesn't exist any more, the wizards are created
+ in the same way as all the other wxWindow objects, i.e. by directly using
+ the ctor
+
- wxGLCanvas now derives directly from wxWindow, not wxScrolledWindow
- wxGridCellAttrProvider class API changed, you will need to update your code
if you derived any classes from it
-- wxImage::ComputeHistogram()'s signature changed to
+- wxImage::ComputeHistogram()'s signature changed to
unsigned long ComputeHistogram(wxImageHistogram&) const
- wxEvtHandler cannot be copied/assigned any longer - this never worked but
where <toolkit> is of the form (msw|univ)[dll][u][d]. You'll need to update
the include path in your make/project files appropriately. Furthermore,
xpm.lib is no longer used by wxMSW, it was superseded by the wxXPMDecoder
- class. You'll need to remove all references to xpm.lib from your
- make/project files.
+ class. You'll need to remove all references to xpm.lib from your
+ make/project files. Finally, the library names have changed as well and now
+ use the following consistent naming convention: wxmsw[u][d][ver].(lib|dll)
+ where 'u' appears for Unicode version, 'd' -- for the debug one and version
+ is only present for the DLLs builds.
- child frames appear in the taskbar by default now, use wxFRAME_NO_TASKBAR
style to avoid it
