-- Some classes (notably wxBitmap and wxImage) don't define operator==() as it
- used to work in somewhat unexpected way as it compared only internal pointers
- and not the object data. The code using it will have to be updated:
- * If the object was compared with wxNullXXX, use IsOk() method instead
- * If valid object need to be compared, use IsSameAs() to reproduce the old
- behaviour or change the code to avoid comparing bitmaps &c.
-- 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, don't use them.
-- wxWindowBase::GetBestFittingSize --> wxWindowBase::GetEffectiveMinSize.
-- wxWindowBase::SetBestFittingSize --> wxWindowBase::SetInitialSize.
-- Seeking on a zip stream returned from wxFileSystem without using the new
- wxFS_SEEKABLE flags is deprecated. You can still seek, but use the flag.
-- Constructor wxZipInputStream(const wxString& archive, const wxString& file)
- deprecated in favour of wxFileSystem (other zip ctors are not deprecated).
-- wx{Dir|File}Dialog::{Set|Get}Style deprecated in favour of the generic
- wxWindow::{Set|Get}WindowStyle()
-
-
-Major new features in 2.8 release
----------------------------------
-
-- New AUI library supporting docking windows and much more.
-- New rich text control library implementing a generic wxRichTextCtrl,
- using only the wxWidgets API. Also includes formatting dialogs, conversion
- to HTML, and printing classes.
-- New wxComboCtrl class giving the ability to create custom, graphical
- comboboxes. Associated classes include wxOwnerDrawnComboBox, wxComboPopup
- and wxBitmapComboBox.
-- Further functionality including wxAnimationCtrl (moved from contrib/src/anim
- and enhanced), wxSimpleHtmlListBox, wxHyperlinkCtrl, wxColourPickerCtrl,
- wxDirPickerCtrl, wxFilePickerCtrl, wxFontPickerCtrl, wxCollapsiblePane,
- wxSearchCtrl, wxAboutBox, wxTreebook, tar streams.
+- WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_4 doesn't exist any more, please update your code if
+ you still relied on features deprecated since version 2.4
+
+- 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
+ code that depends on the result being wxChar.
+
+- The value returned by wxString::operator[] or wxString::iterator cannot be
+ used in switch statements anymore, because it's a class instance. Code like
+ this won't compile:
+ switch (str[i]) { ... }
+ and has to be replaced with this:
+ switch (str[i].GetValue()) { ... }
+
+- Return type of wxString::c_str() is now wxCStrData struct and not
+ const wxChar*. wxCStrData is implicitly convertible to const char* and
+ const wchar_t*, so this only presents a problem if the compiler cannot
+ convert the type. In particular, Borland C++ and DigitalMars compilers
+ don't correctly convert operator?: operands to the same type and fail with
+ compilation error instead. This can be worked around by explicitly casting
+ to const wxChar*:
+ wxLogError(_("error: %s"), !err.empty() ? (const wxChar*)err.c_str() : "")
+
+- DigitalMars compiler has a bug that prevents it from using
+ wxUniChar::operator bool in conditions and it erroneously reports type
+ conversion ambiguity in expressions such as this:
+ for ( wxString::const_iterator p = s.begin(); *p; ++p )
+ This can be worked around by explicitly casting to bool:
+ for ( wxString::const_iterator p = s.begin(); (bool)*p; ++p )
+
+Deprecated methods and their replacements
+-----------------------------------------
+
+- wxCreateGreyedImage() deprecated, use wxImage::ConvertToGreyscale() instead.
+- wxString::GetWriteBuf() and UngetWriteBuf() deprecated, using wxStringBuffer
+ or wxStringBufferLength instead.
