-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.6.x
+INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.8.x
================================
Changes in behaviour not resulting in compilation errors, please read this!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- For all wxInputStreams, Eof() becomes true after an attempt has been made
- to read _past_ the end of file.
-- wxFileName::DirExists() checks if the path of the file is a directory, not
- if the whole name is a directory
-- wxDialog::CreateButtonSizer() may return NULL now, please see the manual
-- wxStaticBoxSizer now deletes the associated wxStaticBox when it is deleted
-- Windows calling CaptureMouse() are now required to handle the
- wxEVT_MOUSE_CAPTURE_LOST event and not call ReleaseMouse() in this case
-
-
Changes in behaviour which may result in compilation errors
-----------------------------------------------------------
-- wxFontData::GetColour() now returns a const colour.
-- wxDC objects can't be created directly now (this never worked, now it doesn't
- even compile).
-- wxCHECK family of macros now must be followed by a semicolon.
-- wxMBConv::cMB2WC() and cWC2MB() take size of the input buffer and return
- length of the converted string in all cases now.
-- wxHtmlWindow::OnCellClicked() now returns bool.
-- wxHtmlCell::OnMouseClick() was deprecated and replaced with
- wxHtmlCell::ProcessMouseClick(); old code overriding OnMouseClick() will
- continue to work with WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_6, but should be rewritten to
- use ProcessMouseClick().
-- wxHtmlCell::GetCursor() was deprecated and replaced with
- wxHtmlCell::GetMouseCursor(); old code overriding GetCursor() will
- continue to work with WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_6, but should be rewritten to
- use GetMouseCursor().
-- wxHtmlCell::AdjustPagebreak() signature has changed, update your code if you
- override it.
-- wxFontEnumerator::GetFacenames() and GetEncodings() now return arrays and
- not pointers to arrays.
-- SetDefaultItem() method was moved from wxPanel to wxTopLevelWindow
-- wxDialog::OnOK/OnCancel() don't exist any more, use SetAffirmative/EscapeId()
-- wxPathList doesn't derive from (deprecated) wxStringList any more
-- wxGLContext class has no 1:1 coupling to a wxGLCanvas class any more.
- As a consequence, the class interface changed largely.
- Code updates, if any are required at all, are easy to accomplish though.
-
-
-Deprecated methods since 2.6.x and their replacements
------------------------------------------------------
-
-- wxGetWorkingDirectory() deprecated in favour of wxGetCwd().
-- wxDC::BeginDrawing() and wxDC::EndDrawing() deprecated, just don't use them.
