See the Unicode overview +in the manual for more details but here are the most important incompatible +changes: + +- Many wxWidgets functions taking "const wxChar *" have been changed to take + either "const wxString&" so that they accept both Unicode and ANSI strings. + and the argument can't be NULL or "const char *" if the strings are always + ANSI but may be NULL. This change is normally backwards compatible except: + + a) Virtual functions: derived classes versions must be modified to take + "const wxString&" as well to make sure that they continue to override the + base class version. + + b) Passing NULL as argument: as NULL can't be unambiguously converted to + wxString, in many cases code using it won't compile any more and NULL + should be replaced with an empty string. + + +- Some structure fields which used to be of type "const wxChar *" (such as + wxCmdLineEntryDesc::shortName, longName and description fields) are now of + type "const char *", you need to remove wxT() or _T() around the values used + to initialize them (which should normally always be ASCII). + +- wxIPC classes didn't work correctly in Unicode build before, this was fixed + but at a price of breaking backwards compatibility: many methods which used + to work with "wxChar *" before use "void *" now (some int parameters were + also changed to size_t). While wxIPC_TEXT can still be used to transfer 7 + bit text, the new wxIPC_UTF8TEXT format is used for transferring wxStrings. + + +wxODBC and contrib libraries removal +------------------------------------ + +wxODBC library was unmaintained since several years and we couldn't continue +supporting it any longer so it was removed. Please use any of the other open +source ODBC libraries in the future projects. + +Also the "applet", "deprecated", "fl", "mmedia" and "plot" contrib libraries +were removed as they were unmaintained and broken since several years. +The "gizmos", "ogl", "net" and "foldbar" contribs have been moved to +wxCode (see http://wxcode.sourceforge.net/complist.php); they are now +open for futher development by volunteers. + +The "stc" and "svg" contribs instead have been moved respectively into a new +"official" library stc and in the core lib. + + +Changes in behaviour not resulting in compilation errors, please read this! +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +- Default location of wxFileConfig files has changed under Windows, you will + need to update your code if you access these files directly. + +- wxWindow::IsEnabled() now returns false if a window parent (and not + necessarily the window itself) is disabled, new function IsThisEnabled() + with the same behaviour as old IsEnabled() was added. + +- Generating wxNavigationKeyEvent events doesn't work any more under wxGTK (and + other platforms in the future), use wxWindow::Navigate() or NavigateIn() + instead. + +- Sizers distribute only the extra space between the stretchable items + according to their proportions and not all available space. 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. + +- wxWindow::Freeze/Thaw() are not virtual any more, if you overrode them in + your code you need to override DoFreeze/Thaw() instead now. + + +Changes in behaviour which may result in compilation errors +----------------------------------------------------------- + +- WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_4 doesn't exist any more, please update your code if + you still relied on features deprecated since version 2.4 + +- wxDC classes hierarchy has changed, if you derived any classes from wxDC you + need to review them as wxDC doesn't have any virtual methods any longer and + uses delegation instead of inheritance to present different behaviours. + +- 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() : "") + +- wxCtime() and wxAsctime() return char*; this is incompatible with Unicode + build in wxWidgets 2.8 that returned wchar_t*. + +- 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 ) +- Virtual wxHtmlParser::AddText() takes wxString, not wxChar*, argument now. -Deprecated methods since 2.6.x and their replacements ------------------------------------------------------ +- Functions that took wxChar* arguments that could by NULL in wxWidgets 2.8. + are deprecated and passing NULL to them won't compile anymore, wxEmptyString + must be used instead. -- wxGetWorkingDirectory() deprecated in favour of wxGetCwd() -- wxDC::BeginDrawing() and wxDC::EndDrawing() deprecated, just don't use them +- wxTmemxxx() functions take either wxChar* or char*, not void*: use memxxx() + with void pointers. + +- Removed insecure wxGets() and wxTmpnam() functions. + +- Removed global GetLine() function from wx/protocol/protocol.h, use + wxProtocol::ReadLine() instead. + +- wxVariant no longer derives from wxObject. wxVariantData also no longer + 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 + implemented correctly any longer because automatically generated ids are not + necessarily allocated consecutively any more. Use GetChildren() to find the + next/previous control sibling instead. + + +Deprecated methods and their replacements +----------------------------------------- + +- wxCreateGreyedImage() deprecated, use wxImage::ConvertToGreyscale() instead. +- wxString::GetWriteBuf() and UngetWriteBuf() deprecated, using wxStringBuffer + or wxStringBufferLength instead. +- wxDIRCTRL_SHOW_FILTERS style is deprecated, filters are alwsys shown if + specified so this style should simply be removed +- wxDocManager::MakeDefaultName() replaced by MakeNewDocumentName() and + wxDocument::GetPrintableName() with GetUserReadableName() which are simpler + to use +- wxXmlProperty class was renamed to wxXmlAttribute in order to use standard + terminology. Corresponding wxXmlNode methods were renamed to use + "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 + + +Major new features in this release +---------------------------------- + +- wxWidgets is now always built with Unicode support but provides the same + simple (i.e. "char *"-tolerant) API as was available in ANSI build in the + past. + +- wxWidgets may now use either wchar_t (UTF-16/32) or UTF-8 internally, + depending on what is optimal for the target platform. + +- Events loops, timers and sockets can now be used in wxBase, without GUI. + + +2.9.0 +----- + +All: + +- Added (experimental) IPv6 support to wxSocket (Arcen) +- Added wxXLocale class and xlocale-like functions using it +- Allow loading message catalogs from wxFileSystem (Axel Gembe) +- Added wxMessageQueue class for inter-thread communications +- Use UTF-8 for Unicode data in wxIPC classes (Anders Larsen) +- Added support for user-defined types to wxConfig (Marcin Wojdyr). +- Added wxJoin() and wxSplit() functions (Francesco Montorsi). +- Added wxDateTime::FormatISOCombined() and ParseISODate/Time/Combined() +- Added wxMutex::LockTimeout() (Aleksandr Napylov). +- Added wxMemoryInputStream(wxInputStream&) ctor (Stas Sergeev). +- Implemented wxMemoryInputStream::CanRead(). +- Added wxEXEC_BLOCK flag (Hank Schultz). +- Add support for wxStream-derived classes to wxRTTI (Stas Sergeev). +- Added wxStreamBuffer::Truncate() (Stas Sergeev). +- Allow using wxEventLoop in console applications (Lukasz Michalski). +- Added functions for Base64 en/decoding (Charles Reimers). +- Added support for binary data to wxConfig (Charles Reimers). +- Added functions for atomically inc/decrementing integers (Armel Asselin). +- wxLogInterposer has been added to replace wxLogPassThrough and new + wxLogInterposerTemp was added. +- Added support for broadcasting to UDP sockets (Andrew Vincent). +- Documentation now includes the wx library in which each class is defined. +- wxrc --gettext now generates references to source .xrc files (Heikki + Linnakangas). +- wxVariant::Unshare allows exclusive allocation of data that must be shared, + if the wxVariantData::Clone function is implemented. +- Added wxWeakRef, wxScopedPtr, wxSharedPtr class templates +- Added wxVector class templates + +All (Unix): + +- Added wx-config --optional-libs command line option (John Labenski). + +All (GUI): + +- Added wxDataViewCtrl class and helper classes +- Added {wxTextCtrl,wxComboBox}::AutoComplete() and AutoCompleteFileNames() +- Added wxH[V]ScrolledWindow (Brad Anderson, Bryan Petty). +- Added wxNotificationMessage class for non-intrusive notifications +- Added wxWindow::Show/HideWithEffect() +- Added wxWrapSizer +- Added wxDC::StretchBlit() for wxMac and wxMSW (Vince Harron). +- Added support for drop down toolbar buttons (Tim Kosse). +- Added support for labels for toolbar controls (Vince Harron). +- Added wxMessageDialog::SetMessage() and SetExtendedMessage(). +- Added wxListCtrl::Set/GetColumnsOrder() (Yury Voronov) +- Added wxWindow::AlwaysShowScrollbars() (Julian Scheid) +- Added wxMouseEvent::GetClickCount() (Julian Scheid) +- Added wxBG_STYLE_TRANSPARENT background style (Julian Scheid) +- Added XRCSIZERITEM() macro for obtaining sizers from XRC (Brian Vanderburg II) +- New and improved wxFileCtrl (Diaa Sami and Marcin Wojdyr) +- Added wxEventBlocker class (Francesco Montorsi). +- Added wxFile/DirPickerCtrl::Get/SetFile/DirName() (Francesco Montorsi). +- Added wxSizerFlags::Top() and Bottom(). +- Slovak translation added. +- Fixed tab-related drawing and hit-testing bugs in wxRichTextCtrl. +- Implemented background colour in wxRichTextCtrl. +- Fixed crashes in helpview when opening a file. +- Set locale to the default in all ports, not just wxGTK. +- Added wxJoystick::GetButtonState/Position() (Frank C Szczerba). +- Added wxGridUpdateLocker helper class (Evgeniy Tarassov). +- Support wxGRID_AUTOSIZE in wxGrid::SetRow/ColLabelSize() (Evgeniy Tarassov). +- Added wxWindow::NavigateIn() in addition to existing Navigate(). +- Add support for tags to wxrc. +- Support wxAPPLY and wxCLOSE in CreateStdDialogButtonSizer() (Marcin Wojdyr). +- Show standard options in wxCmdLineParser usage message (Francesco Montorsi). +- Added wxRect::operator+ (union) and * (intersection) (bdonner). +- Added support for two auxiliary mouse buttons to wxMouseEvent (Chris Weiland). +- Added wxToolTip::SetAutoPop() and SetReshow() (Jan Knepper). +- Added wxTaskBarIcon::Destroy(). +- Added XRC handler for wxSearchCtrl (Sander Berents). +- Read image resolution from TIFF, JPEG and BMP images (Maycon Aparecido Gasoto). +- Add support for reading alpha data from TIFF images. +- Added wxSYS_DCLICK_TIME system metric constant (Arne Steinarson). +- Added wxApp::Get/SetAppDisplayName() (Brian A.
