The quick fix for the most cases is to replace + the occurences of wxPanel with wxWindow. + +- 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 ... + +- 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 + + +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/include + 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 Furthermore, + xpm.lib is no longer used by wxMSW, it was superseded by the wxXPMDecoder + class.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. + +- child frames appear in the taskbar by default now, use wxFRAME_NO_TASKBAR + style to avoid it, wxFRAME_FLOAT_ON_PARENT style is now obsolete and has no + effect + +- 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. + + +OTHER CHANGES +============= + +2.3.3 +----- + +wxBase: + +- wxSemaphore class added, many fixed to wxCondition and wxThread (K.S.
