The quick fix for the most cases is to replace + the occurrences of wxPanel with wxWindow. + +! if you handle (and don't skip) EVT_KEY_DOWN, the EVT_CHAR event is not + generated at all, so you must call event.Skip() in your OnKeyDown() if + you want to get OnChar() as well + +- in general, the key events sent for the various non ASCII key combinations + have been changed to make them consistent over all supported platforms, + please see the wxKeyEvent documentation for details + +- wxYES_NO is now wxYES | wxNO and the manifest values of both wxYES and wxNO + have changed (to fix some unfortunate clashes), please check your code to + ensure that no tests for wxYES or wxNO are broken: for example, the following + will *NOT* work any longer: + + if ( flags & wxYES_NO ) + ... do something ... + if ( flags & wxYES ) + ... do something else ... + +- static wxWizard::Create() doesn't exist any more, the wizards are created + in the same way as all the other wxWindow objects, i.e. by directly using + the ctor + +- wxGLCanvas now derives directly from wxWindow, not wxScrolledWindow + +- wxGridCellAttrProvider class API changed, you will need to update your code + if you derived any classes from it + +- wxImage::ComputeHistogram()'s signature changed to + unsigned long ComputeHistogram(wxImageHistogram&) const + +- wxEvtHandler cannot be copied/assigned any longer - this never worked but + now it results in compile-time error instead of run-time crashes + +- WXK_NUMLOCK and WXK_SCROLL keys no longer result in EVT_CHAR() events, + they only generate EVT_KEY_DOWN/UP() ones + +- the dialogs use wxApp::GetTopWindow() as the parent implicitly if the + parent specified is NULL, use wxDIALOG_NO_PARENT style to prevent this + from happening + +- several obsolete synonyms are only retained in WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_2 mode: + for example, use wxScrolledWindow::GetViewStart() now instead of ViewStart() + and GetCount() instead of Number() in many classes + +- wxCmdLineParser does not use wxLog to output messages anymore. + to obtain the previous behaviour, add + wxMessageOutput::Set(new wxMessageOutputLog); to your program + (you will need to #include ) + +wxMSW: + +! build system changed: setup.h is not a static file in include/wx any more + but is created as part of the build process under lib//wx + where is of the form (msw|univ)[dll][u][d]. You'll need to update + the include path in your make/project files appropriately. Furthermore, + xpm.lib is no longer used by wxMSW, it was superseded by the wxXPMDecoder + class. You'll need to remove all references to xpm.lib from your + make/project files. Finally, the library names have changed as well and now + use the following consistent naming convention: wxmsw[ver][u][d].(lib|dll) + where 'u' appears for Unicode version, 'd' -- for the debug one and version + is only present for the DLLs builds. + +- child frames appear in the taskbar by default now, use wxFRAME_NO_TASKBAR + style to avoid it + +- all overloads of wxDC::SetClippingRegion() combine the given region with the + previously selected one instead of replacing it + +- wxGetHomeDir() uses HOME environment variable and if it is set will not + return the programs directory any longer but its value (this function has + never been meant to return the programs directory anyhow) + +- wxHTML apps don't need to include wx/html/msw/wxhtml.rc in resources file + anymore. The file was removed from wxMSW + + +Unix ports: + +! You should use `wx-config --cxxflags` in your makefiles instead of + `wx-config --cflags` for compiling C++ files. CXXFLAGS contains CFLAGS + and the compiler flags for C++ files only, CFLAGS should still be used + to compile pure C files. + + +wxThread and related classes: + +- The thread-related classes have been heavily changed since 2.2.x versions + as the old code had many serious problems. This could have resulted in + semantical changes other than those mentioned here, please review use of + wxThread, wxMutex and wxCondition classes in your code. + +! wxCondition now *must* be used with a mutex, please read the (updated) class + documentation for details and revise your code accordingly: this change was + unfortunately needed as it was impossible to ensure the correct behaviour + (i.e. absence of race conditions) using the old API. + +- wxMutex is not recursive any more in POSIX implementation (it hasn't been + recursive in 2.2.x but was in 2.3.1 and 2.3.2), please refer to the class + documentation for the discussion of the recursive mutexes. + +- wxMutex::IsLocked() doesn't exist any more and should have never existed: + this is was unique example of a thread-unsafe-by-design method. + + +OTHER CHANGES +============= + +2.4.0 +----- + +wxMSW: + +- fixed loss of client data in wxChoice::SetString() + +2.3.4 +----- + +All: + +- added (partial) Indonesian translations (Bambang Purnomosidi D.
