+------------------------
INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.4.x
================================
series.
! windows are no longer fully repainted when resized, use new style
- wxFULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE to force this (wxNO_FULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE stll
+ wxFULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE to force this (wxNO_FULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE still
exists but doesn't do anything any more, this behaviour is default now)
- 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.
+- when WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_4 == 0 wxHashTable uses a new implementation
+ not using wxList keyed interface (the same used when wxUSE_STL == 1),
+ the only incompatibility being that Next() returns a wxHashTable::Node*
+ instead of a wxNode*.
+- non-const wxDC methods GetBackground(), GetBrush(), GetFont() and GetPen()
+ don't exist any more, please fix your code -- it never worked correctly
+ anyhow if you modified the objects returned by these methods so you should
+ simply switch to using const methods.
+- EVT_XXX macros are now type-safe; code that uses wrong type for event
+ handler's argument will no longer compile.
+- Identical functionality of wxFileDialog::ParseWildcard and
+ wxGenericDirCtrl::ParseFilter is now accessible in ::wxParseWildcard
-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
==============================
-Deprecated methods may still be used but will disappear in future wxWindows
+Deprecated methods may still be used but will disappear in future wxWidgets
versions, please update your code to not use them.
- wxDocManager::GetNoHistoryFiles() renamed to GetHistoryFilesCount()
- wxTheFontMapper: use wxFontMapper::Get() instead
- wxStringHashTable: use wxHashMap instead
- wxHashTableLong: use wxHashMap instead
-- wxArrayString::GetStringArray: use wxCArrayString or alternative wxWindows
+- wxArrayString::GetStringArray: use wxCArrayString or alternative wxWidgets
methods taking wxArrayString
- wxArrayString::Remove(index, count): use RemoveAt instead
- wxTreeItemId conversion to long is deprecated and shouldn't be used
wxHashTable::compatibility_iterator to store the return
value
- wxWave class; use wxSound instead
+- The wxHIDE_READONLY flag for wxFileDialog was not implemented
+ and has now been removed
+- wxTaskBarIcon::OnXXX() virtual methods: use events instead
OTHER CHANGES
=============
+2.5.3
+-----
+
+All:
+
+- number of fixes to wxPluginManager (Rick Brice, Hans Van Leemputten)
+
+All (GUI):
+
+- added wxTaskBarIcon::CreatePopupMenu which is now recommended way
+ of showing popup menu; calling wxTaskBarIcon::PopupMenu directly
+ is discouraged
+- Added ..._CMD_... variants for wxGrid event table entry macros
+ taking window identifiers
+- Added wxWindowBase::Navigate for programmatic navigation to the next
+ control.
+- On most platforms, wxTextCtrl::OnChar now inserts a tab character if
+ wxTE_PROCESS_TAB is set, or navigates to the next control if not.
+
+Unix:
+
+- wxTaskBarIcon now supports freedesktop.org System Tray protocol
+- security fixes to wxSingleInstanceChecker
+
+wxGTK:
+
+- fixed many rendering artifacts and wrong colours with lots of GTK+ themes
+- implemented wxColourDialog as native dialog
+- wxTreeCtrl::GetCount() counts root as well now (compatible with MSW)
+
+wxMotif:
+
+- added 3 state checkbox
+
+wxWinCE:
+
+- added automatized but customizable handling of native SmartPhone menus
+
+
2.5.2
-----
All:
-- Hindi translations added (Dhananjaya Sharma)
+- Hindi translation added (Dhananjaya Sharma)
+- Brazilian Portuguese translation added (E. A. Tacao)
+- 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
+- when wxUSE_STL == 1 and STL provides quasi-standard hash_map/hash_set,
+ wxHashMap/wxHashSet are just typedefs for them. This makes impossible
+ to forward declare these classes.
All (GUI):
- 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 behaviour is 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.
+- added wxRegEx::GetMatchCount()
+- it is now possible to display images in wxHtmlListBox
wxMSW:
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
+- wxFileName::GetModificationTime() works with opened files too now
+- wxDC::GetClippingBox() now works even for clipping regions created by Windows
+- fixed wxFileDataObject in Unicode build (Alex D)
+- subdindented paragraphs support (Tim Kosse)
+
+wxGTK:
+
+- added support for wxTE_RIGHT and wxTE_CENTRE styles under GTK2 (Mart Raudsepp)
wxMotif:
- removed wxMenuItem::DeleteSubMenu()
+- wxButtons use Motif default size, which is smaller than it used to be
+ and closer to wxMSW/wxGTK look. This can be disabled by setting
+ motif.largebuttons system option to 1 (see wxSystemOptions).
wxUniv/X11:
- improved tables and lists layout algorithms (Tim Kosse)
- <div> handling fix (Xavier Nodet)
+Unix:
+
+- fixed priorities of mailcap entries (David Hart)
+- added "wx-config --libs=std,<extra>" syntax (i.e. support for "std")
+
+wxODBC:
+
+- Full Unicode support is now available
+- BLOB support is working
+

separately compiled library
- added wxDateSpan::operator==() and !=() (Lukasz Michalski)
- added wxFileName::GetForbiddenChars() (Dimitri Schoolwerth)

- disable wxNB_RIGHT, wxNB_LEFT, wxNB_BOTTOM notebook styles under Windows XP
- fixed release mode build with VC 7.x (Martin Ecker)

NB: if you want to build your program with different major versions
- of wxWindows you will probably find the wxCHECK_VERSION() macro
+ of wxWidgets you will probably find the wxCHECK_VERSION() macro
(see the documentation) useful.

fixed handling of relative and absolute font sizes in <font size>
