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 ----------------------------------------------------------- +- 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. +- wxDIRCTRL_SHOW_FILTERS style is deprecated, filters are alwsys shown if + specified so this style should simply be removed + + Major new features in this release ---------------------------------- @@ -23,12 +85,143 @@ Major new features in this release All: -- Added wxSizerFlags::Top() and Bottom() +-
