now called much earlier/later than before; please move any exiting code
from there to wxApp::OnInit()/OnExit()
- also, OnExit() is not called if OnInit() fails
+- finally the program exit code is OnRun() return value, not OnExit() one
- wxTheApp can't be assigned to any longer, use wxApp::SetInstance() instead
- wxFileType::GetIcon() returns wxIconLocation, not wxIcon
- wxColourDatabase is not a wxList any more, use AddColour to add new colours
- wxApp::SendIdleEvent() now takes 2 arguments
- wxTabView::GetLayers() changed return type from wxList& to wxTabLayerList&
(when WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_4 == 0)
+- wxID_SEPARATOR (id used for the menu separators) value changed from -1 to -2
+- wxGetNumberFromUser() is now in separate wx/numdlg.h, not wx/textdlg.h
+- wxChoice and wxCombobox now handle their size in the same way as in all the
+ other ports under MSW, new code is actually correct but different from weird
+ stuff they were doing before so the behaviour of your programs might change
+- wxTaskBarIcon objects must now be destroyed before the application can exit.
+ Previously, the application terminated if there were no top level windows;
+ now it terminates if there are no top level windows or taskbar icons left.
+- wxZlibInputStream is not by default compatible with the output of the
+ 2.4.x version of wxZlibOutputStream. However, there is a compatibilty mode,
+ switched on by passing wxZLIB_24COMPATIBLE to the constructor.
+
+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
- wxTheFontMapper: use wxFontMapper::Get() instead
- wxStringHashTable: use wxHashMap instead
- wxHashTableLong: use wxHashMap instead
-- wxArrayString::GetStringArray: no replacement
+- wxArrayString::GetStringArray: use wxCArrayString or alternative wxWindows
+ methods taking wxArrayString
- wxArrayString::Remove(index, count): use RemoveAt instead
- wxTreeItemId conversion to long is deprecated and shouldn't be used
+- wxTreeCtrl::GetFirst/NextChild() 2nd argument now has type wxTreeItemIdValue
+ and not long, please change declarations of "cookie"s in your code
+ accordingly -- otherwise your code won't work on 64 bit platforms
- [MSW only] wxWindow::GetUseCtl3D(), GetTransparentBackground() and
SetTransparent() as well as wxNO_3D and wxUSER_COLOURS styles
- wxList keyed interface: use wxHashMap instead
- wxHashTable::Next: use wxHashTable::Node* or
wxHashTable::compatibility_iterator to store the return
value
+- wxWave class; use wxSound instead
OTHER CHANGES
=============
+2.5.2
+-----
+
+All:
+
+- Hindi translations added (Dhananjaya Sharma)
+- wxDynamicCast() now uses static_cast<wxObject *> internally and so using it
+ with anything not deriving from wxObject will fail at compile time (instead
+ of run-time) now
+
+All (GUI):
+
+- wxHtmlWindow now delays image scaling until rendering,
+ resulting in much better display of scaled images
+- Added UpdateSize to wxSplitterWindow to allow layout while hidden
+- implemented Freeze/Thaw() for wxGenericTreeCtrl (Kevin Hock)
+- support for KOI8-U encoding added (Yuriy Tkachenko)
+- The old wxADJUST_MINSIZE behaviouris now the default behaviour for
+ sizer items that are windows. This means that GetAdjustedBestSize
+ will now be called by default to determine the minimum size that a
+ window in a sizer should have. If you want to still use the initial
+ size (and not the BestSize) then use the wxFIXED_MINSIZE flag. When
+ windows are added to a sizer their initial size is made the window's
+ min size using SetSizeHints, and calls to wxSizer::SetItemMinSize
+ are also forwarded to SetSizeHints for window items.
+
+wxMSW:
+
+- wxWindow::Freeze()/Thaw() can now be nested
+- Added wxSP_NO_XP_THEME style to wxSplitterWindow to switch off
+ XP theming (some applications look bad without 3D borders)
+- wxMenuBar::GetLabelTop() doesn't include '&'s in the label any more
+- wxRegConf couldn't read global settings without admin privileges and didn't
+ even try to do it by default -- now it does
+- wxTaskBarIcon must be explicitly destroyed now, otherwise the application
+ won't exit even though there are no top level windows
+
+wxMotif:
+
+- removed wxMenuItem::DeleteSubMenu()
+
+wxUniv/X11:
+
+- implemented DrawRoundedRectangle() (clawghoul)
+
+wxHTML:
+
+- improved tables and lists layout algorithms (Tim Kosse)
+- <div> handling fix (Xavier Nodet)
+
+Unix:
+- fixed priorities of mailcap entries (David Hart)
