------------------------------------------------------------------------------- wxWidgets Change Log ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.6.x ================================ Changes in behaviour not resulting in compilation errors, please read this! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- - For all wxInputStreams, Eof() becomes true after an attempt has been made to read _past_ the end of file. - wxFileName::DirExists() checks if the path of the file is a directory, not if the whole name is a directory. - wxDialog::CreateButtonSizer() may return NULL now, please see the manual. - wxStaticBoxSizer now deletes the associated wxStaticBox when it is deleted. - wxArray::Alloc() now works as reserve() and does not clear the array any more - Windows calling CaptureMouse() are now required to handle the wxEVT_MOUSE_CAPTURE_LOST event and not call ReleaseMouse() in this case. - wxInputStream::GetC() now returns an int in the range 0 - 255 on success instead of a char the range -128 - 127. 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. 2.8.10: ------- All: - wxHashMap::insert() doesn't update the value if it didn't insert the element any more (Marcin Malich). - Correct bug in wxTimeSpan::Format() for negative spans. - Correct several bugs in wxList using end() iterators (Suzumizaki-Kimitaka). - Added Vietnamese translation (Tran Ngoc Quan). - Updated Slovenian translation (Martin Srebotnjak). - Corrected Serbian locale name (Cody Precord). - Fix wxURL::GetInputStream() for URLs with special characters in credentials (Robert Wruck). - Fix wxURI::GetUser() for URIs without password. - Correct wxDateTime DST computation for 2006 and later (Christopher Barker).
