wxWidgets Change Log
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.8.x
================================
Notice that these changes are described in more details in
the "Changes Since wxWidgets 2.8" section of the manual,
please read it if the explanation here is too cryptic.
Table of contents of this section:
- Unicode-related changes
- wxODBC and contrib libraries removal
- Changes in behaviour not resulting in compilation errors
- Build system changes
- Major new features in this release
Unicode-related changes
-----------------------
The biggest changes in wxWidgets 3.0 are the changes due to the merge of the
old ANSI and Unicode build modes in a single build. 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;
the argument can't be NULL anymore in this case) or "const char *" (if the
strings are always ANSI; may still 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.
- Functions returning "const wxChar *" were changed as well. Mostly they now
return wxString which is then transparently convertible to either "const char
*" or "const wchar_t *" but in some cases, notably wxDateTime::ParseXXX(),
the returned string could be NULL and so a separate helper class is used. If
you obtain compilation errors because of this, you can always correct them by
explicitly assigning the function return value to a variable of wanted type.
A slightly more intrusive but better solution is to use ParseXXX() version
with wxString::const_iterator output parameter which simply returns bool to
indicate the parsing success.
- 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). If you want your
code to remain compatible with Unicode build of previous wx version, please
use the special wxT_2, which is the same as wxT in 2.x only, instead.
- 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.
Also notice that connection classes should change the parameter types of
their overridden OnExecute() or override a more convenient OnExec() instead.
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 further 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!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Don't pass wxString::c_str() to vararg functions any more! Due to Unicode
changes, c_str() now returns an object and not a simple char pointer, so
using it with vararg functions does not work any more. The preferred
solution is to use wx-provided equivalents, e.g. wxPrintf() instead of
printf() which has the added benefit that you don't need to call c_str()
any more and can pass wxString objects directly. If this is impossible,
add explicit casts to "const char*" or "const wchar_t*". See wxString
documentation for more details.
Notice that using wxString::c_str() with vararg functions does result in
compilation errors with g++ and most other compilers but not MSVC. Try to
build your code with g++ to detect all such problems at compile-time.
- 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.
- Interpretation of font height in pixels parameter has changed in wxFont
ctor and SetPixelSize() in wxMSW: it is now used as character height and not
the total cell height. If you previously used negative height to explicitly
request character height matching, you may now change your code to use
positive value (passing negative height still works but is undocumented and
deprecated). If you used positive height before you should retest your code
to check if the changes correspond to your expectations. And if you do need
the old behaviour please contact us at wx-dev to let us know about it!
- Revert to using equally-sized buttons in wxToolBar by default: restore the
behaviour of the pre-3.0 versions in which toolbar buttons had the same
width for the toolbars not using wxTB_HORZ_LAYOUT style. Toolbars with this
style still size their buttons appropriately for their contents as they
already did in the previous 3.0.x releases.
- wxWindow::Freeze/Thaw() are not virtual any more, if you overrode them in
your code you need to override DoFreeze/DoThaw() instead now.
- wxCalendarCtrl has native implementation in wxGTK, but it has less features
than the generic one. The native implementation is used by default, but you
can still use wxGenericCalendarCtrl instead of wxCalendarCtrl in your code if
you need the extra features.
- wxDocument::FileHistoryLoad() and wxFileHistory::Load() now take const
reference to wxConfigBase argument and not just a reference, please update
your code if you overrode these functions and change the functions in the
derived classes to use const reference as well.
- Under MSW wxExecute() arguments are now always properly quoted, as under
Unix, and so shouldn't contain quotes unless they are part of the argument.
- wxDocument::OnNewDocument() doesn't call OnCloseDocument() any more.
- If you use wxScrolledWindow::SetTargetWindow() you must implement its
GetSizeAvailableForScrollTarget() method, please see its documentation for
more details.
- Processing of pending events now requires a running event loop.
Thus initialization code (e.g. showing a dialog) previously done in wxApp::OnRun()
or equivalent function should now be done into wxApp::OnEventLoopEnter().
See wxApp::OnEventLoopEnter() and wxApp::OnEventLoopExit() docs for more info.
- wxDialogs get wxEVT_SIZE events immediately after creation in wxMSW, as with
wxFrames. This means that this event handler may be called earlier than in
2.8, check that all the controls are initialized before using them in it.
- wxLoadFileSelector() now allows the user to select existing files only.
- Erase background events are now not generated at all when background style is
changed. See the updated wxWindow::SetBackgroundStyle() description in the
manual for more details.
- wxTreeCtrl::GetSelection now asserts if the tree has the wxTR_MULTIPLE style.
Instead use GetSelections() for multiple items; or if you want only the
single item last touched, the new wxTreeCtrl::GetFocusedItem.
- Custom log targets should be updated to override wxLog::DoLogRecord() method
instead of DoLog() or DoLogString() and must be updated if they call the base
class versions of these functions as this won't work any more; please see the
documentation of wxLog for more information.
- Confusing wxGridSizer(int cols, int vgap = 0, int hgap = 0) ctor which was
easy to mistake for wxGridSizer(int rows, int cols) overload was removed, you
will need to specify both vertical and horizontal gap if you want to use this
overload or specify both rows and columns and the gap otherwise. Use of the
new constructors taking wxSize for the gap argument is preferred. The same
applies to wxFlexGridSizer as well.
- wxBoxSizer::AddSpacer(x) now adds space in the direction of the sizer only
and not in both this and the orthogonal directions. This behaviour is what
most of the people expect but if you really relied on this overload adding
space in both directions you should change your code to use AddSpacer(x, x).
- wxTextCtrl::LoadFile no longer sends a text update event.
- wxXmlDocument::Save()'s indentstep argument's interpretation was fixed
to match the documentation: it now really is the number of spaces in
indentation instead of being its double. Its default value was changed
accordingly, to 2.
- wxLOCALE_CONV_ENCODING flag has no effect now, catalogs are converted
regardless of whether the flag was specified or not. This only affects
legacy ANSI builds.
- wxNotebook::GetSelection() returns the new page index when called from
wxEVT_COMMAND_NOTEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGED event handler in wxMSW, not the old one.
The new behaviour is consistent with wxGTK and more logical but different
from the previous versions. Using wxNotebookEvent::GetSelection() instead of
querying the notebook selection avoids the problem and is recommended.
- wxMSW-specific wxAutomationObject::GetInstance() method now creates a new
instance if needed instead of failing if the application providing the
requested ProgID is not running. Pass wxAutomationInstance_UseExistingOnly
flag to it to revert to the old behaviour. It is also possible to use the
wxAutomationInstance_SilentIfNone flag to prevent the error message if no
currently running instances of this object are available.
- Signature of wxDataViewCustomRenderer::StartDrag() virtual method changed.
You will need to change it in your derived renderer class too if you override
it.
- wxDataViewCustomRenderer::Activate() and LeftClick() were replaced with the
new ActivateCell() method. You will need to change it in your derived
renderer class accordingly.
- wxThread::Wait() and wxThread::Delete() used to dispatch the events while
waiting for the thread to exit in wxMSW. They still do it in default build
with WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_8 defined but won't dispatch any events, i.e. the
default wait mode will become wxTHREAD_WAIT_BLOCK in the next wxWidgets
release so you are strongly encouraged to upgrade your code to stop relying
on this behaviour.
- wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK events are not generated any more if the mouse is captured to
prevent the parent wxTopLevelWindow from interfering with the keyboard
handling of the window that captured the mouse.
- wxDataViewCtrl::GetSelection() now returns invalid item in all ports (this
behaved differently in wxMSW and wxGTK/wxOSX before) if more than one item
is selected in a control with wxDV_MULTIPLE style.
- wxEVT_COMMAND_MENU_SELECTED, MENU_OPEN and CLOSE events returned a menu from
GetEventObject() in all ports but the frame the menu was attached to in wxMSW.
Now all ports return the menu that was opened or closed as the event object.
- wxAny now uses C locale format for the floating point numbers and not the
current locale one, i.e. decimal point is always used.
- wxGridBagSizer::AddGrowable{Col,Row}() must now be called after the items are
added to the sizer, i.e. the columns and rows already exist.
- wxWindow::FindWindow() skips over top level children now as finding a child
dialog when looking for a child control could have been very unexpected.
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
- WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_6 still exists but is 0 by default in this release and
will be removed in 3.2. You can set it to 1 and rebuild wxWidgets to access
the old and deprecated symbols but please consider updating your code
instead. Here are replacements for some of the obsolete symbols:
+ wxSAVE and wxOPEN -> wxFD_SAVE and wxFD_OPEN
+ WXK_PRIOR and WXK_NEXT -> WXK_PAGEUP and WXK_PAGEDOWN
+ wxRESIZE_BOX -> wxMAXIMIZE_BOX
+ wxTHICK_FRAME -> wxRESIZE_BORDER
+ wxPROCESS_ENTER and wxPASSWORD -> wxTE_PROCESS_ENTER and wxTE_PASSWORD
+ EVT_SCROLL_ENDSCROLL -> EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED
+ NewControlId -> wxWindow::NewControlId()
+ wxFileHistory::GetNoHistoryFiles() -> wxFileHistory::GetCount()
+ wxSizerItem::SetOption() -> wxSizerItem::SetProportion()
+ wxSizer::Remove(wxWindow*) -> wxSizer::Detach()
- 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.
- wxWindow::ProcessEvent() (and other wxEvtHandler methods inherited by wxWindow)
has been made protected to prevent wrongly using it instead of correct
GetEventHandler()->ProcessEvent().
New ProcessWindowEvent() was added for convenience.
- 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 a helper wxCStrData struct and not
const wxChar*. wxCStrData is implicitly convertible to both "const char *"
and "const wchar_t *", so this only presents a problem if the compiler cannot
apply the conversion. This can happen in 2 cases:
+ There is an ambiguity because the function being called is overloaded to
take both "const char *" and "const wchar_t *" as the compiler can't choose
between them. In this case you may use s.wx_str() to call the function
matching the current build (Unicode or not) or s.mb_str() or s.wc_str() to
explicitly select narrow or wide version of it.
Notice that such functions are normally not very common but unfortunately
Microsoft decided to extend their STL with standard-incompatible overloads
of some functions accepting "const wchar_t *" so you may need to replace
some occurrences of c_str() with wx_str() when using MSVC 8 or later.
+ Some compilers, notably Borland C++ and DigitalMars, 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() : "")
- wxDateTime::ParseXXX() overloads don't return anything when called with
wxCStrData argument. If you need to test the parsing success, use a newer
overload taking wxString::const_iterator and returning bool or explicitly
select a narrow or wide char version to use by casting c_str() to either
"char*" or "wchar_t*". Or create a temporary wxString and parse it instead.
- 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.
- Functions that took wxChar* arguments that could be NULL in wxWidgets 2.8
are deprecated and passing NULL to them won't compile anymore, wxEmptyString
must be used instead.
- 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.
- wxVariantData 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 couldn't be
implemented correctly any longer because automatically generated ids are not
necessarily allocated consecutively now. Use GetChildren() to find the
next/previous control sibling instead.
- Calling wxConfig::Write() with an enum value will fail to compile because
wxConfig now tries to convert all unknown types to wxString automatically.
The simplest solution is to cast the enum value to int.
- Several wxImage methods which previously had "long bitmaptype" parameters
have been changed to accept "wxBitmapType bitmaptype", please use enum
wxBitmapType in your code.
- wxGridCellEditor::EndEdit() signature has changed and it was split in two
functions, one still called EndEdit() and ApplyEdit(). See the documentation
of the new functions for more details about how grid editors should be
written now.
- wxEVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGE event renamed to wxEVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGED and shouldn't
be vetoed any more, use the new wxEVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGING event to do it.
- wxListCtrlCompare function used with wxListCtrl::SortItems() must now declare
its third parameter as wxIntPtr and not long (this allows passing pointers
to it under 64 bit platforms too).
- Global wxPendingEvents and wxPendingEventsLocker objects were removed.
You may use wxEventLoopBase::SuspendProcessingOfPendingEvents instead of
locking wxPendingEventsLocker now.
- wxBitmapButton::GetBitmapXXX() overloads returning non-const wxBitmap
references have been removed, modifying the returned bitmaps never worked and
now results in compile-time error.
- wxLogXXX() are now macros, not functions. Because of this calling them with
an explicit scope resolution operator ("::wxLogError()") doesn't work any
longer, just remove it. Also notice that using them inside an "if" statement
without enclosing parentheses results in warnings from g++ with -Wparentheses,
add parentheses around the if statement body to work around it.
- wxList::Member() now returns bool and not a pointer/iterator. This shouldn't
require any changes as it was always meant to be used for checking for the
presence of an element in the list only. If you used it as Find(), simple do
use Find() instead.
- wxLongLongFmtSpec is now a normal and not wide string so you will need to
change expressions of the form wxT("%") wxLongLongFmtSpec wxT("x") to
just "%" wxLongLongFmtSpec "x", i.e. simply remove wxT() from the strings you
concatenate with it.
- wxST_MARKUP doesn't exist any more, use wxControl::SetLabelMarkup() instead.
- wxComboBox::IsEmpty(), which was previously available in some ports (but not
wxMSW), doesn't exist any more, use either IsListEmpty() or IsTextEmpty().
- wxSingleChoiceDialog ctors and Create() now have 2 overloaded versions: one
taking void** client data and the deprecated one taking char**. This can
result in compilation errors due to an ambiguity between them if you pass
NULL as client data. To fix this, cast NULL explicitly to "void**".
- wxChoicebookEvent, wxListbookEvent, wxNotebookEvent, wxToolbookEvent and
wxTreebookEvent are now all synonyms for wxBookCtrlEvent. The existing code
using the old names continues to work but they can't be forward-declared
any more. Use wxBookCtrlEvent in your code if you need to forward-declare
it or just include the appropriate header instead of forward declaration.
- wxStandardPaths class can't be created now. This was never the right thing
to do, wxStandardPaths::Get() always had to be used to access the global
object of the correct type but now doing it results in a compilation error.
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
- Various wxMenuItem methods were deprecated in favour of more consisently
named new versions:
. GetLabel() is now GetItemLabelText()
. GetText() is not GetItemLabel()
. GetLabelFromText() is now GetLabelText()
. SetText() is now SetItemLabel()
- wxBrush's, wxPen's SetStyle() and GetStyle() as well as the wxBrush/wxPen
ctor now take respectively a wxBrushStyle and a wxPenStyle value instead of a
plain "int style"; use the new wxBrush/wxPen style names (wxBRUSHSTYLE_XXX
and wxPENSTYLE_XXX) instead of the old deprecated wxXXX styles.
- EVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGE was deprecated, use EVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGED instead if you
don't veto the event in its handler and EVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGING if you do.
- EVT_CALENDAR_DAY event has been deprecated, use EVT_CALENDAR_SEL_CHANGED.
- EVT_CALENDAR_MONTH and EVT_CALENDAR_YEAR events are deprecated,
use EVT_CALENDAR_PAGE_CHANGED which replaces both of them.
- wxCalendarCtrl::EnableYearChange() and wxCAL_NO_YEAR_CHANGE are deprecated.
There is no replacement for this functionality, it is being dropped as it is
not available in native wxCalendarCtrl implementations.
- wxDC::SetClippingRegion(const wxRegion&) overload is deprecated as it used
different convention from the other SetClippingRegion() overloads: wxRegion
passed to it was interpreted in physical, not logical, coordinates. Replace
it with SetDeviceClippingRegion() if this was the correct thing to do in your
code.
- wxTE_AUTO_SCROLL style is deprecated as it's always on by default anyhow.
- wxThreadHelper::Create() has been renamed to CreateThread which has a better
name for a mix-in class, and allows setting the thread type.
- wxDos2UnixFilename, wxUnix2DosFilename, wxStripExtension, wxGetTempFileName,
wxExpandPath, wxContractPath, wxRealPath, wxCopyAbsolutePath, wxSplitPath
were deprecated in favour of wxFileName methods. See docs for more info.
- wxEvtHandler::TryValidator/Parent() are deprecated, override the new and
documented TryBefore/After() methods if you used to override these ones.
- wxGetMultipleChoices() is deprecated, use wxGetSelectedChoices() which has
the same signature but returns -1 and not 0 if the dialog was cancelled.
- building the windows which are placed inside wxStaticBoxes as siblings of the
wxStaticBox is still allowed but it's deprecated as it gives some problems
on some ports (e.g. wxGTK).
You should now create windows placed inside a wxStaticBox as children of
the static box itself.
- wxMouseState::{Left,Middle,Right}Down() were renamed to XXXIsDown() for
consistency with wxMouseEvent and the old names were deprecated.
- wxFont::SetNoAntiAliasing() was deprecated, it never really worked in most
ports and was always marked as "experimental" API. It will be replaced with
wxDC-level anti-aliasing control in the future.
- wxValidator::SetBellOnError() incorrectly interpreted its argument (it
disabled the bell when it was true) and was replaced by SuppressBellOnError()
with more expected semantics.
- wxPORTRAIT and wxLANDSCAPE are now elements of wxPrintOrientation enum and
wxPrintData::SetOrientation(int) takes wxPrintOrientation and not int.
- Second parameter of wxSlider::SetTickFreq(int n, int pos) is deprecated,
simply remove it from your code and use wxSlider::SetTickFreq(int n) as it
was never used anyhow.
- wxSingleChoiceDialog ctor and Create() take "void**" client data pointer
instead of "char**". As the client data is typically untyped, you should
simply remove the casts to "char**" which you probably have in your code if
you use these functions.
- wxDataViewCtrl::StartEditor(item, n) taking column index is now deprecated,
use EditItem(item, GetColumn(n)), which takes the column itself, instead.
- wxWindow::MakeModal() is deprecated, use wxDialog::ShowModal() instead if
possible or wxWindowDisabler otherwise.
Changes in behaviour visible to end users
-----------------------------------------
- wxTextCtrl::SaveFile() now creates UTF-8-encoded files instead of using the
default locale encoding. This ensures that the entire text control contents
can be saved and is consistent with the use of UTF-8 by default in the other
places, notably DoLoadFile(), but is a change since the previous versions.
If you need the old behaviour, consider calling wxFFile::Write() explicitly
with wxConvCurrent conversion parameter.
- In wxMSW wxSpinCtrl used to prevent the user from entering more digits than
could fit in its visible area. This was inconsistent with the other ports and
now the control scrolls if too much text is added.
Build system changes
--------------------
- Cocoa is now used by default under OS X instead of Carbon. Pass --with-carbon
option to configure to use wxCarbon.
- In wxMSW makefile builds, "_x64" is used instead of "_amd64" when compiling
for this architecture in the architecture-specific paths and library names.
TARGET_CPU can still be specified as "amd64" for compatibility but "x64"
should be used now.
- Official wxMSW binaries, i.e. those built with OFFICIAL_BUILD=1, built with
MSVC now include the version of the compiler used and the architecture if
it's not the default "x86". E.g. a library built with MSVC 10 for amd64 is
called "wxbase294ud_vc110_amd64.dll" now.
- MSVC projects don't include neither wxUniversal nor ANSI (non-Unicode)
configurations any more. The simplest way to build wxWidgets in these
configurations if you need them is to use nmake from the command line with
WXUNIV=1 or UNICODE=0 command line parameter respectively.
- The manifest is not included by wx/msw/wx.rc any longer for MSVC compiler.
If you're using MSVC 6 or 7 which require it, you must explicitly define
wxUSE_RC_MANIFEST=1 and also predefine WX_CPU_X86 in the resource compiler
options in your project file.
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.
- New webview library, implementing wxWebView: a wrapper for the native
platform web engine with full support for HTML and JavaScript.
- New propgrid library containing wxPropertyGrid and related classes.
- New ribbon library for advanced toolbars.
- Many enhancements to wxDataViewCtrl.
- Event loops, timers and sockets can now be used in wxBase, without GUI.
- Events can now be connected to any functor, not necessarily a method of
wxEvtHandler-derived class. The compile-time safety was also improved.
- Documentation for wxWidgets has been converted from LaTex to C++ headers
with Doxygen comments and significantly improved in the process (screenshots
of various controls were added, more identifiers are now linked to their
definition &c). Any reports about inaccuracies in the documentation are
welcome (and due to using the simple Doxygen syntax it is now easier than
ever to submit patches correcting them! :-)
- Support for persistent objects automatically saving and restoring their state
was added.
3.0.5 (released 2020-04-27)

rather than triggering a reload of the model. If you are working around the
broken behaviour with wxGTK-specific code in your application you should
check that your application works correctly with this change.
