We believe the + new behaviour corresponds better to user expectations but if you did rely + on the old behaviour you will have to update your code to set the minimal + sizes of the sizer items to be in the same proportion as the items + proportions to return to the old behaviour. Changes in behaviour which may result in compilation errors ----------------------------------------------------------- -- 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::c_str() cannot be casted to non-const char* + or wchar_t* anymore. The solution is to use newly added wxString methods + char_str() (which returns a buffer convertible to char*) or wchar_str() + (which returns a buffer convertible to wchar_t*). These methods are + available in wxWidgets 2.8 series beginning with 2.8.4 as well. + +- 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. + +Major new features in this release +---------------------------------- + + +2.9.0
