- 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
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
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.
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.
+- wxGetMultipleChoices() is deprecated, use wxGetSelectedChoices() which has
+ the same signature but returns -1 and not 0 if the dialog was cancelled.

+ ever to submit patches correcting them! :-)
