your code if you overrode these functions and change the functions in the
derived classes to use const reference as well.
+- Under MSW wxExecute() arguments are now always properly quoted, as under
+ Unix, and so shouldn't contain quotes unless they are part of the argument.
+
+- wxDocument::OnNewDocument() doesn't call OnCloseDocument() any more.
+
+- If you use wxScrolledWindow::SetTargetWindow() you must implement its
+ GetSizeAvailableForScrollTarget() method, please see its documentation for
+ more details.
+
+- Processing of pending events now requires a running event loop.
+ Thus initialization code (e.g. showing a dialog) previously done in wxApp::OnRun()
+ or equivalent function should now be done into wxApp::OnEventLoopEnter().
+ See wxApp::OnEventLoopEnter() and wxApp::OnEventLoopExit() docs for more info.
+
Changes in behaviour which may result in compilation errors
-----------------------------------------------------------
need to review them as wxDC doesn't have any virtual methods any longer and
uses delegation instead of inheritance to present different behaviours.
+- wxWindow::ProcessEvent() (and other wxEvtHandler methods inherited by wxWindow)
+ has been made protected to prevent wrongly using it instead of correct
+ GetEventHandler()->ProcessEvent().
+ New ProcessWindowEvent() was added for convenience.
+
- Return type of wxString::operator[] and wxString::iterator::operator* is no
longer wxChar (i.e. char or wchar_t), but wxUniChar. This is not a problem
in vast majority of cases because of conversion operators, but it can break
const wxChar*. wxCStrData is implicitly convertible to both "const char *"
and "const wchar_t *", so this only presents a problem if the compiler cannot
apply the conversion. This can happen in 2 cases:
-
+
+ There is an ambiguity because the function being called is overloaded to
take both "const char *" and "const wchar_t *" as the compiler can't choose
between them. In this case you may use s.wx_str() to call the function
derives from wxObject; instead of using wxDynamicCast with wxVariantData you
can use the macro wxDynamicCastVariantData with the same arguments.
-- wxWindow::Next/PrevControlId() don't exist any more as they can't be
+- wxWindow::Next/PrevControlId() don't exist any more as they couldn't be
implemented correctly any longer because automatically generated ids are not
- necessarily allocated consecutively any more. Use GetChildren() to find the
+ necessarily allocated consecutively now. Use GetChildren() to find the
next/previous control sibling instead.
- Calling wxConfig::Write() with an enum value will fail to compile because
wxConfig now tries to convert all unknown types to wxString automatically.
The simplest solution is to cast the enum value to int.
+- Several wxImage methods which previously had "long bitmaptype" parameters
+ have been changed to accept "wxBitmapType bitmaptype", please use enum
+ wxBitmapType in your code.
+
+- wxGridCellEditor::EndEdit() signature has changed and it was split in two
+ functions, one still called EndEdit() and ApplyEdit(). See the documentation
+ of the new functions for more details about how grid editors should be
+ written now.
+
+- wxEVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGE event renamed to wxEVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGED and shouldn't
+ be vetoed any more, use the new wxEVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGING event to do it.
+
+- Now wxWidgets at startup in debug builds checks if all wxEvent-derived classes
+ correctly implement the Clone() function, logging a warning if they don't.
+ A correct implementation for MyCustomEventClass::Clone() is simply:
+ virtual wxEvent *Clone() const { return new MyCustomEventClass(*this); }
+
+- Global wxPendingEvents and wxPendingEventsLocker objects were removed.
+ You may use wxEventLoopBase::SuspendProcessingOfPendingEvents instead of
+ locking wxPendingEventsLocker now.
+
+
Deprecated methods and their replacements
-----------------------------------------
"Attribute" instead of "Property" or "Prop" in their names.
- wxConnection::OnExecute() is not formally deprecated yet but new code should
use simpler OnExec() version which is called with wxString argument
-- wxMenuItem::GetLabel has been deprecated in favour of wxMenuItem::GetItemLabelText
-- wxMenuItem::GetText has been deprecated in favour of wxMenuItem::GetItemLabel
-- wxMenuItem::GetLabelFromText has been deprecated in favour of wxMenuItem::GetLabelText
-- wxMenuItem::SetText has been deprecated in favour of wxMenuItem::SetItemLabel
-- wxBrush's, wxPen's SetStyle() and GetStyle() as well as the wxBrush/wxPen ctor now take
- respectively a wxBrushStyle and a wxPenStyle value instead of a plain "int style";
- use the new wxBrush/wxPen style names (wxBRUSHSTYLE_XXX and wxPENSTYLE_XXX) instead
- of the old deprecated wxXXX styles (which however are still available).
+- Various wxMenuItem methods were deprecated in favour of more consisently
+ named new versions:
+ . GetLabel() is now GetItemLabelText()
+ . GetText() is not GetItemLabel()
+ . GetLabelFromText() is now GetLabelText()
+ . SetText() is now SetItemLabel()
+- wxBrush's, wxPen's SetStyle() and GetStyle() as well as the wxBrush/wxPen
+ ctor now take respectively a wxBrushStyle and a wxPenStyle value instead of a
+ plain "int style"; use the new wxBrush/wxPen style names (wxBRUSHSTYLE_XXX
+ and wxPENSTYLE_XXX) instead of the old deprecated wxXXX styles.
+- EVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGE was deprecated, use EVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGED instead if you
+ don't veto the event in its handler and EVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGING if you do.
- EVT_CALENDAR_DAY event has been deprecated, use EVT_CALENDAR_SEL_CHANGED.
- EVT_CALENDAR_MONTH and EVT_CALENDAR_YEAR events are deprecated,
use EVT_CALENDAR_PAGE_CHANGED which replaces both of them.
- wxCalendarCtrl::EnableYearChange() and wxCAL_NO_YEAR_CHANGE are deprecated.
-
+ There is no replacement for this functionality, it is being dropped as it is
+ not available in native wxCalendarCtrl implementations.
+- wxDC::SetClippingRegion(const wxRegion&) overload is deprecated as it used
+ different convention from the other SetClippingRegion() overloads: wxRegion
+ passed to it was interpreted in physical, not logical, coordinates. Replace
+ it with SetDeviceClippingRegion() if this was the correct thing to do in your
+ code.
+- wxTE_AUTO_SCROLL style is deprecated as it's always on by default anyhow.
+- wxThreadHelper::Create() has been renamed to CreateThread which has a better
+ name for a mix-in class, and allows setting the thread type.
+- wxDos2UnixFilename, wxUnix2DosFilename, wxStripExtension, wxGetTempFileName,
+ wxExpandPath, wxContractPath, wxRealPath, wxCopyAbsolutePath, wxSplitPath
+ were deprecated in favour of wxFileName methods. See docs for more info.
+- wxEvtHandler::TryValidator/Parent() are deprecated, override the new and
+ documented TryBefore/After() methods if you used to override these ones.
Major new features in this release

+
+- Event loops, timers and sockets can now be used in wxBase, without GUI.
+
+- Events can now be connected to any functor, not necessarily a method of
+ wxEvtHandler-derived class. The compile-time safety was also improved.
+
+- Documentation for wxWidgets has been converted from LaTex to C++ headers
+ with Doxygen comments and significantly improved in the process (screenshots
+ of various controls were added, more identifiers are now linked to their
+ definition &c). Any reports about inaccuracies in the documentation are
+ welcome (and due to using the simple Doxygen syntax it is now easier than
+ ever to submit patches correcting them! :-)
+
+- Support for persistent objects automatically saving and restoring their state
+ was added.
