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! - -- 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. - - -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. - -- wxVariant no longer derives from wxObject. wxVariantData also 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).

-
-
-2.5.2
------
-
-All:
-
-- Hindi translation added (Dhananjaya Sharma)
-- Brazilian Portuguese translation added (E. A. Tacao)
-- wxDynamicCast() now uses static_cast internally and so using it
-  with anything not deriving from wxObject will fail at compile time (instead
-  of run-time) now
-- when wxUSE_STL == 1 and STL provides quasi-standard hash_map/hash_set,
-  wxHashMap/wxHashSet are just typedefs for them. This makes impossible
-  to forward declare these classes.
-
-All (GUI):
-
-- wxHtmlWindow now delays image scaling until rendering,
-  resulting in much better display of scaled images
-- Added UpdateSize to wxSplitterWindow to allow layout while hidden
-- implemented Freeze/Thaw() for wxGenericTreeCtrl (Kevin Hock)
-- support for KOI8-U encoding added (Yuriy Tkachenko)
-- The old wxADJUST_MINSIZE behaviour is now the default behaviour for
-  sizer items that are windows.  This means that GetAdjustedBestSize
-  will now be called by default to determine the minimum size that a
-  window in a sizer should have.  If you want to still use the initial
-  size (and not the BestSize) then use the wxFIXED_MINSIZE flag.  When
-  windows are added to a sizer their initial size is made the window's
-  min size using SetSizeHints, and calls to wxSizer::SetItemMinSize
-  are also forwarded to SetSizeHints for window items.
-- added wxRegEx::GetMatchCount()
-- it is now possible to display images in wxHtmlListBox
-
-wxMSW:
-
-- wxWindow::Freeze()/Thaw() can now be nested

-- wxRegConf couldn't read global settings without admin privileges and didn't
-  even try to do it by default -- now it does
-- wxTaskBarIcon must be explicitly destroyed now, otherwise the application
-  won't exit even though there are no top level windows
-- wxFileName::GetModificationTime() works with opened files too now
-- wxDC::GetClippingBox() now works even for clipping regions created by Windows
-- fixed wxFileDataObject in Unicode build (Alex D)
-- subindented paragraphs support (Tim Kosse)
-
-wxGTK:
-
-- added support for wxTE_RIGHT and wxTE_CENTRE styles under GTK2 (Mart Raudsepp)
-
-wxMotif:
-
-- removed wxMenuItem::DeleteSubMenu()
-- wxButtons use Motif default size, which is smaller than it used to be
-  and closer to wxMSW/wxGTK look. This can be disabled by setting
-  motif.largebuttons system option to 1 (see wxSystemOptions).
-
-wxUniv/X11:
-
-- implemented DrawRoundedRectangle() (clawghoul)
-
-wxHTML:

-OLD CHANGES
-===========
-
-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.2.x
-================================
-
-    Please take a few minutes to read the following list, especially
-    paying attention to the most important changes which are marked
-    with '!' in the first column.
-
-    Also please note that you should ensure that WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_2
-    is defined to 1 if you wish to retain maximal compatibility with 2.2
-    series -- however you are also strongly encouraged to try to compile
-    your code without this define as it won't be default any longer in
-    2.6 release.
-
-    NB: if you want to build your program with different major versions
-        of wxWidgets you will probably find the wxCHECK_VERSION() macro
-        (see the documentation) useful.
-
-
-wxBase:
-
-! wxArray::Remove(size_t) has been removed to fix compilation problems
-  under 64 bit architectures, please replace it with RemoveAt() in your
-  code.
-
-! wxArray macros have been changed to fix runtime problems under 64 bit
-  architectures and as a side effect of this WX_DEFINE_ARRAY() can only be
-  used now for the pointer types, WX_DEFINE_ARRAY_INT should be used for the
-  arrays containing non-pointers.
-
-- wxObject::CopyObject() and Clone() methods were removed because they
-  simply don't make sense for all objects
-
-- wxEvent now has a pure virtual Clone() method which must be implemented
-  by all derived classes, if you have user-defined event classes please
-  add "wxEvent *Clone() const { return new MyEvent(*this); }" line to them
-
-- small change to wxStopWatch::Pause() semantics, please see the documentation
-
-- unlikely but possible incompatibility: the definition of TRUE has changed
-  from "1" to "(bool)1" (and the same thing for FALSE), so the code which
-  could be erroneously compiled previously such as doing "return FALSE" from
-  a function returning a pointer would stop compiling now (but this change
-  is not supposed to have any effects on valid code)
-
-- another minor change: wxApp::OnAssert() has a new "cond" argument, you
-  must modify YourApp::OnAssert() signature if you were using it to override
-  the default assert handling.
-
-All (GUI):
-
-! the event type constants are not constants any more but are dynamically
-  allocated during run-time which means that they can't be used as case labels
-  in the switch()es, you must rewrite them to use if()s instead
-
-  You may also define WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_EVENT_TYPES to get the old behaviour
-  but this is strongly discouraged, please consider changing your code
-  instead!
-
-! wxDialog does not derive from wxPanel any longer - if you were using it in
-  your code, please update it. 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

-- Win16 support working again (VC++ 1.5)
-- Win16 now uses generic wxNotebook, wxListCtrl,
-  wxTreeCtrl -- more or less working now, although
-  a little work on wxNotebook is still needed.
-  Under 16-bit Windows, get assertion when you click
-  on a tab.
-- Wrote 16-bit BC++ makefiles: samples don't yet link.
-- Added CodeWarrior support to distribution courtesy
-  of Stefan Csomor.
-
-wxMotif:
-
-- Cured scrolling problem: scrollbars now show/hide themselves
-  without (permanently) resizing the window.
-- Removed some commented-out lines in wxScrolledWindow::AdjustScrollbars
-  that disabled scrollbar paging.
-- Set background colour of drawing area in wxWindow, so e.g. wxListCtrl
-  colours correctly.
-- Removed major bug whereby dialogs were unmanaged automatically
-  when any button was pressed.
-- Fixed colours of wxWindow scrollbars, made list and text controls
-  have a white background.
-- Fixed dialog colour setting.
-- Added settable fonts and colours for wxMenu/wxMenuBar. Now
-  they have sensible colours by default.
-- Fixed a bug in wxStaticBox.
-- Cured wxTreeCtrl bug: now works pretty well!
-- Debugged DrawEllipticArc (a ! in the wrong place).
-- Added SetClippingRegion( const wxRegion& region ).
-- Added wxPoint, wxSize, wxRect versions of SetSize etc.
-
-Alpha 17, November 22nd 1998
-----------------------------
-
-wxMSW:
-
-- More documentation updates, especially for
-  wxLayoutWindow classes and debugging facilities.
-- Changed wxDebugContext to use wxDebugLog instead
-  of wxTrace.
-- Now supports VC++ 6.0, and hopefully BC++ 5.0.
-  However, DLL support may be broken for BC++ since
-  VC++ 6 required changing of WXDLLEXPORT keyword
-  position.
-- Numerous miscellaneous changes.
-
-wxMotif:
-
-- Reimplemented MDI using wxNotebook instead of the MDI widgets, which
-  were too buggy (probably not design for dynamic addition/removal of
-  child frames).
-- Some improvements to the wxNotebook implementation.
-- wxToolBar now uses a bulletin board instead of a form, in an attempt
-  to make it possible to add ordinary wxControls to a toolbar.
-- Cured problem with not being able to use global memory operators,
-  by defining two more global operators, so that the delete will match
-  the debugging implementation.
-- Added wxUSE_DEBUG_NEW_ALWAYS so we can distinguish between using
-  global memory operators (usually OK) and #defining new to be
-  WXDEBUG_NEW (sometimes it might not be OK).
-- Added time.cpp to makefile; set wxUSE_DATETIME to 1.
-- Added a parent-existence check to popup menu code to make it not crash.
-- Added some optimization in wxWindow::SetSize to produce less flicker.
-  It remains to be seen whether this produces any resize bugs.
-
-It's a long time since I updated this file. Previously done:
-
-- wxFrame, wxDialog done.
-- wxScrolledWindow done (but backing pixmap not used at present).
-- wxBitmap done though could be tidied it up at some point.
-- Most basic controls are there, if not rigorously tested.
-- Some MDI support (menus appear on child frames at present).
-- wxNotebook almost done.
-- wxToolBar done (horizontal only, which would be easy to extend
-  to vertical toolbars).
-
-More recently:
-
-- Colour and font changing done (question mark over what happens
-  to scrollbars).
-- Accelerators done (for menu items and buttons). Also event loop
-  tidied up in wxApp so that events are filtered through ProcessXEvent.
-- wxWindow::GetUpdateRegion should now work.
-
-Alpha 16, September 8th 1998
-----------------------------
-
-wxMSW:
-
-- Added wxSashWindow, wxSashLayoutWindow classes, and sashtest
-  sample.
-- Guilhem's socket classes added, plus wxsocket sample.
-- A few more makefiles added.
-- GnuWin32/BC++ compatibility mods.
-- Further doc updates.
-- wxProp updates for correct working with wxGTK.
-
-wxMotif:
-
-- First start at Motif port.
-- Made makefiles for wxMotif source directory and minimal sample.
-- First go at wxApp, wxWindow, wxDialog, wxPen, wxBrush, wxFont,
-  wxColour, wxButton, wxCheckBox, wxTextCtrl, wxStaticText,
-  wxMenu, wxMenuItem, wxMenuBar
-
-Alpha 15, August 31st 1998
---------------------------
-
-wxMSW:
-
-- wxBitmap debugged.
-- wxDC::GetDepth added.
-- Contribution added whereby wxBitmap will be
-  converted to DC depth if they don't match.
-- wxConfig API improved, documentation updated.
-- Printing classes name conventions cleaned up.
-- wxUpdateUIEvent now derives from wxCommandEvent
-  so event can travel up the window hierarchy.
-
-Alpha 14, July 31st 1998
-------------------------
-
-wxMSW:
-
-- Toolbar API has been simplified, and now
-  wxFrame::GetClientArea returns the available client
-  area when toolbar, status bar etc. have been accounted for.
-  wxFrame::CreateToolBar added in line with CreateStatusBar.
-- Documentation updates, incl. for wxToolBar.
-- New wxAcceleratorTable class plus wxFrame::SetAcceleratorTable.
-- Various additions from other folk, e.g. streams, wxConfig
-  changes, wxNotebook.
-- Added wxDocMDIParentFrame, wxDocMDIChildFrame for doc/view.
-
-Alpha 13, July 8th 1998
------------------------
-
-wxMSW:
-
-- Implemented wxPoint as identical to POINT on Windows, and
-  altered wxDC wxPoint functions to use wxPoint directly in
-  Windows functions, for efficiency.
-- Cured wxASSERT bug in wxStatusBar95.
-- #ifdefed out some bits in oleutils.cpp for compilers that
-  don't support it.
-- Added some operators to wxPoint, wxSize.
-- Added inline wxDC functions using wxPoint, wxSize, wxRect.
-
-Alpha 12, July 7th 1998
------------------------
-
-wxMSW:
-
-- Added wxApp::GetComCtl32Version, and wxTB_FLAT style, so can
-  have flat toolbars on Win98 or Win95 with IE >= 3 installed.
-
-Alpha 11, July 3rd 1998
------------------------
-
-wxMSW:
-
-- Added thread.h, thread.cpp.
-- Changed Enabled, Checked to IsEnabled, IsChecked in wxMenu,
-  wxMenuBar.
-- Changed wxMenuItem::SetBackColor to SetBackgroundColour,
-  SetTextColor to SetTextColour, and added or made public several
-  wxMenuItem accessors.
-- Added two overloads to wxRegion::Contains. Added
-  wxRegion::IsEmpty for a more consistent naming convention.
-- Added Vadim's wxDataObject and wxDropSource.
-- ENTER/LEAVE events now work.
-- Cured wxMemoryDC bug where the DC wasn't being deleted.
-- Cured wxGauge SetSize major bugginess.
-- Cured problem where if a GDI object was created on the stack,
-  then went out of scope, then another object was selected into
-  the DC, GDI objects would leak. This is because the assignment
-  to e.g. wxDC::m_pen would delete the GDI object without it first
-  being selected out of the DC. Cured by selecting the old DC object
-  first, then doing the assignment.
-- Split up wxGaugeMSW, wxGauge95, wxSliderMSW, wxSlider95
-- Various other bug fixes and additions.
-
-Generic:
-
-- Major work on Dialog Editor (still plenty to go).
-- Expanded documentation a bit more.
-
-Alpha 10, May 7th 1998
-----------------------
-
-wxMSW:
-
-- Added desiredWidth, desiredHeight parameters to wxBitmapHandler
-  and wxIcon functions so that you can specify what size of
-  icon should be loaded. Probably will remain a Windows-specific thing.
-- wxStatusBar95 now works for MDI frames.
-- Toolbars in MDI frames now behave normally. They still
-  require application-supplied positioning code though.
-- Changed installation instructions, makefiles and batch files
-  for compiling with Gnu-Win32/Mingw32/EGCS. Also timercmn.cpp
-  change to support Mingw32/EGCS. Bison now used by default.
-
-Alpha 9, April 27th 1998
-------------------------
-
-wxMSW:
-
-- Cured bug in wxStatusBar95 that caused a crash if multiple
-  fields were used.
-- Added Gnu-Win32 b19/Mingw32 support by changing resource
-  compilation and pragmas.
-- Cured wxMenu bug introduced in alpha 8 - didn't respond to
-  commands because VZ changed the id setting in wxMenu::MSWCommand.
-
-Generic:
-
-- Corrected some bugs, such as the wxModule compilation problem.
-- Added Gnu-Win32 b19/Mingw32 support by changing resource
-  compilation and pragmas.
-- Changed SIZEOF to WXSIZEOF.
-
-Alpha 8, April 17th 1998
-------------------------
-
-wxMSW:
-
-- Added IsNull to wxGDIObject to check if the ref data is present or not.
-- Added PNG handler and sample - doesn't work for 16-bit PNGs for
-  some reason :-(
-- Added wxJoystick class and event handling, and simple demo.
-- Added simple wxWave class. Needs Stop() function.
-- Added wxModule (module.h/module.cpp) to allow definition
-  of modules to be initialized and cleaned up on wxWidgets
-  startup/exit.
-- Start of Mingw32 compatibility (see minimal and dialogs samples
-  makefile.m95 files, and install.txt).
-- Note: Windows printing has stopped working... will investigate.
-VADIM'S CHANGES:
-- Updated wxString: bug fixes, added wxArrayString, some
-  compatibility functions.

-
-Generic:
-
-- Added src/other/png, src/other/zlib directories.
-- Added samples/png.
-- IMPORTANT: Changed 'no id' number from 0 to -1, in wxEVT_ macros.
-  Porters, please check particularly your wxTreeCtrl and wxListCtrl
-  header files.
-- Added modules.h/cpp, config.cpp, fileconf.cpp, textfile.cpp/h.
-
-Alpha 7, March 30th 1998
-------------------------
-
-wxMSW:
-
-- Added tab classes, tab sample.
-- Now can return FALSE from OnInit and windows will be
-  cleaned up properly before exit.
-- Improved border handling so panels don't get borders
-  automatically.
-- Debugged MDI activation from Window menu.
-- Changes to memory debug handling, including checking for
-  memory leaks on application exit - but see issues.txt for
-  unresolved issues.
-- Added wxTaskBarIcon (taskbar.cpp/h, plus samples/taskbar)
-  to allow maintenance of an icon in the Windows 95 taskbar
-  tray area.
-- Got MFC sample working (MFC and wxWidgets in the same
-  application), partly by tweaking ntwxwin.mak settings.
-- Got DLL compilation working again (VC++).
-- Changed wxProp/Dialog Editor filenames.
-
-Generic:
-
-- Added tab classes, tab sample.
-- Revised memory.cpp, memory.h slightly; memory.h now #defines
-  new to WXDEBUG_NEW in DEBUG mode. Windows implementation app.cpp
-  now checks for leaks on exit. Added memcheck sample.
-  See src/msw/issues.txt for more details.
-- resource.h, resource.cpp changed to make wxDefaultResourceTable
-  a pointer. Now initialize resource system with
-  wxInitializeResourceSystem and wxCleanUpResourceSystem, to
-  allow better control of memory.
-- wxString now derives from wxObject, to enable memory leak
-  checking.
-- Added some #include fixes in various files, plus changed
-  float to long in wxToolBar files.
-
-Alpha 6, March 10th 1998
-------------------------
-
-wxMSW:
-
-- Found stack error bug - stopped unwanted OnIdle recursion.
-- Removed bug in wxTreeCtrl::InsertItem I added in alpha 5.
-- Changed exit behaviour in wxApp/wxFrame/wxDialog. Now will
-  check if the number of top-level windows is zero before
-  exiting. Also, wxApp::GetTopWindow will return either
-  m_topWindow or the first member of wxTopLevelWindows, so you
-  don't have to call wxApp::SetTopWindow.
-- Added dynarray.h/dynarray.cpp (from Vadim).
-- Added first cut at OLE drag and drop (from Vadim). dnd sample
-  added. Drop target only at this stage. See src/msw/ole/*.cpp,
-  wx/include/msw/ole/*.h. WIN32 only because of UUID usage.
-  Doesn't work with GnuWin32 - no appropriate headers e.g. for
-  IUnknown.
-  Doesn't work with BC++ either - crashes on program startup.
-- Added Vadim's owner-draw modifications - will probably remain
-  Windows-only. This enhances wxMenu, wxListBox. See ownerdrw sample.
-- Added wxLB_OWNERDRAW for owner-draw listboxes.
-- Vadim's wxCheckListBox derives from wxListBox. See checklst sample.
-  Doesn't entirely work for WIN16.
-- Vadim has added wxMenuItem as a separate file menuitem.cpp. It
-  can also be used as an argument to wxMenu::Append, not just for
-  internal implementation.
-- Some #ifdefs done for MINGW32 compilation (just alter OPTIONS
-  in makeg95.env, together with mingw32.bat). However, resource
-  binding is not working yet so most apps with dialogs crash.
-
-Generic:
-
-- Added Vadim's dynarray.h, dynarray.cpp.
-- Added Vadim's menuitem.cpp.
-- Added Windows-specific wxCheckListBox,
-  owner-draw wxListBox, and drag-and-drop
-  (see docs/msw/changes.txt).
-
-Alpha 5, 14th February 1998
---------------------------
-
-wxMSW:
-
-- GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE
-  DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to
-  the Windows-specific code only. See docs/changes.txt for generic
-  changes.
-- Removed Windows-specific reference counting system (GDI
-  resources were cleaned up in idle time) - minimal
-  advantages now we have a wxWin reference counting system.
-- Added missing WXDLLEXPORT keywords so DLL compilation works
-  again.
-- Removed most warnings for GnuWin32 compilation.
-- Added wxRegion/wxRegionIterator, but haven't yet used it in
-  e.g. wxDC.
-
-Generic:
-
-- GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE
-  DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to
-  the generic code only. See docs/msw/changes.txt for Windows-specific
-  changes.
-- Readmes, change logs and installation files now go in
-  platform-specific directories under docs, e.g. docs/msw,
-  docs/gtk.
-- Added DECLARE_APP and IMPLEMENT_APP macros so wxApp object gets
-  created dynamically, not as a global object.
-- Put wxColour into wx/msw/colour.h, src/msw/colour.cpp.
-- Changed names of some include/wx/generic headers to be
-  consistent and to conform to gcc pragma conventions. Also
-  changed choicesg.cpp to choicdgg.cpp.
-- Added gcc pragmas.
-- Added gtk inclusion in include/wx headers.
-- Added consistent file headings to source and headers.
-- Removed lang.cpp, lang.h and references to wxSTR_... variables;
-  added a few references to wxTransString.
-- Added operator to wxTransString that converts automatically
-  to wxString, so we can say e.g. wxMessageBox(wxTransString("Hello"), ...).
-- samples/internat now works (minimally).
-- Added wxMouseEvent::GetPosition and
-  wxMouseEvent::GetLogicalPosition, both returning wxPoints.
-- Made wxSize and wxRect contain longs not ints.
-- Cured some memory leaks (thanks Vadim).
-- Tidied up OnIdle and introduced RequestMore/MoreRequested so
-  will only keep processing OnIdle if it returns TRUE from
-  MoreRequested.
-
-Alpha 4, 31st January 1998
---------------------------
-
-All:
-
-- Changed wxDC functions to take longs instead of floats. GetSize now takes
-  integer pointers, plus a version that returns a wxSize.
-- const keyword added to various wxDC functions.
-- Under Windows, wxDC no longer has any knowledge of whether
-  an associated window is scrolled or not. Instead, the device
-  origin is set by wxScrolledWindow in wxScrolledWindow::PrepareDC.
-- wxScrolledWindow applications can optionally override the virtual OnDraw
-  function instead of using the OnPaint event handler. The wxDC passed to
-  OnDraw will be translated by PrepareDC to reflect scrolling.
-  When drawing outside of OnDraw, must call PrepareDC explicitly.
-- wxToolBarBase/wxToolBarSimple similarly changed to allow for
-  scrolling toolbars.
-- Integrated wxPostScriptDC patches for 1.xx by Chris Breeze,
-  to help printing with multiple pages.
-- IPC classes given base classes (wxConnectionBase etc.) which
-  define the API used by different implementations. DDE
-  implementation updated to use these base classes.
-- wxHelpInstance now separated into wxHelpControllerBase (base
-  for all implementations), wxWinHelpController (uses standard
-  WinHelp), wxXLPHelpController (talks to wxHelp by DDE or
-  TCP/IP). There will be others eventually, such as
-  wxHTMLHelpController for Microsoft (and Netscape?) HTML Help.
-- Added Vadim Zeitlin's wxString class plus
-  internationalization code (gettext simulation, wxLocale, etc.).
-  New files from Vadim:
-  include\wx\string.h
-  include\wx\debug.h
-  include\wx\file.h
-  include\wx\log.h
-  include\wx\intl.h
-  src\common\string.cpp
-  src\common\log.cpp
-  src\common\intl.cpp
-  src\common\file.cpp
-  No longer use GNU wxString files.
-- Split off file-related functions into include\wx\filefn.h and
-  src\common\filefn.cpp.
-- Borland C++ support (WIN32) for main library and
-  samples, using makefile.b32 files.
-- Preparation done for allowing BC++ to compile wxWin as a DLL,
-  including changes to defs.h.
-- wxIntPoint removed, wxPoint is now int, and wxRealPoint
-  introduced.
-- Added wxShowEvent (generated when window is being shown or
-  hidden).
-- Got minimal, docview, mdi samples working for 16-bit VC++ and
-  cured 16-bit problem with wxTextCtrl (removed global memory
-  trick).
-- Updated GnuWin32 makefiles, checked minimal, mdi, docview samples.
-
-Alpha 3, September 1997
------------------------
-
-All:
-
-- wxListCtrl, wxTreeCtrl, wxImageList classes done.
-- Instigated new file hierarchy, split files and classes up more logically.
-- PrologIO and some other utils now put into core library.
-- Revamped print/preview classes, added wxPageSetupDialog.
-- Started documentation.
-
-Alpha 2, 30th April 1997
-------------------------
-
-All:
-
-- EVT_... macros now have at least one argument, for conformance
-  with MetroWerks compiler.
-- Added ids to .wxr file format.
-- Got Dialog Editor compiled and running again but need
-  to extend functionality to be in line with new controls.
-  Added dialoged\test app to allow dynamic loading of .wxr files
-  for testing purposes.
-- Rewrote wxBitmap to allow installable file type
-  handlers.
-- Rewrote wxBitmapButton, wxStaticBitmap to not use Fafa.
-- Wrote most of wxTreeCtrl and sample (need wxImageList to implement it
-  fully).
-- Added back wxRadioBox.
-- Tidied up wx_main.cpp, wxApp class, putting PenWin code in
-  a separate file.
-
-Alpha 1, 5th April 1997
------------------------
-
-Generic:
-
-At this point, the following has been achieved:
-
-- A lot, but not all, of the code has been revamped for better
-  naming conventions, protection of data members, and use of
-  wxString instead of char *.
-- Obsolete functionality deleted (e.g. default wxPanel layout,
-  old system event system) and code size reduced.
-- Class hierarchy changed (see design doc) - base classes such
-  as wxbWindow now removed.
-- No longer includes windows.h in wxWin headers, by using stand-in
-  Windows types where needed e.g. WXHWND.
-- PrologIO revised.
-- wxScrolledWindow, wxStatusBar and new MDI classes added.
-  MDI is now achieved using separate classes, not window styles.
-- wxSystemSettings added, and made use of to reflect standard
-  Windows settings.
-- SetButtonFont/SetLabelFont replaced by SetFont; font and colour
-  settings mucho rationalised.
-- All windows are now subclassed with the same window proc to make
-  event handling far more consistent. Old internal wxWnd and derived
-  classes removed.
-- API for controls revised, in particular addition of
-  wxValidator parameters and removal of labels for some controls.
-- 1 validator written: see examples/validate.
-- Event table system introduced (see most samples and
-  wx_event.cpp/ProcessEvent, wx_event.h). wxEvtHandler
-  made more flexible, with Push/PopEventHandler allowing a chain
-  of event handlers.
-- wxRadioBox removed - will be added back soon.
-- Toolbar class hierarchy revised:
-  wxToolBarBase
-  wxToolBarSimple (= old wxToolBar)
-  wxToolBar95 (= old wxButtonBar under Win95)
-  wxToolBarMSW (= old wxButtonBar under WIN16/WIN32)
-- Constraint system debugged somewhat (sizers now work properly).
-- wxFileDialog, wxDirDialog added; other common dialogs now
-  have class equivalents. Generic colour and font dialogs
-  rewritten to not need obsolete panel layout.
-- .wxr resource system partially reinstated, though needs
-  an integer ID for controls. Hopefully the resource system
-  will be replaced by something better and more efficient
-  in the future.
-- Device contexts no longer stored with window and accessed
-  with GetDC - use wxClientDC, wxPaintDC, wxWindowDC stack
-  variables instead.
-- wxSlider uses trackbar class under Win95, and wxSL_LABELS flag
-  determines whether labels are shown. Other Win95-specific flags
-  introduced, e.g. for showing ticks.
-- Styles introduced for dealing with 3D effects per window, for
-  any window: all Win95 3D effects supported, plus transparent windows.
-- Major change to allow 3D effect support without CTL3D, under
-  Win95.
-- Bitmap versions of button and checkbox separated out into new
-  classes, but unimplemented as yet because I intend to remove
-  the need for Fafa - it apparently causes GPFs in Win95 OSR 2.
-- utils/wxprop classes working (except maybe wxPropertyFormView)
-  in preparation for use in Dialog Editor.
-- GNU-WIN32 compilation verified (a month or so ago).

+
+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!
+
+- 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.
+
+
+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.
+
+- wxVariant no longer derives from wxObject. wxVariantData also 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.
+

+----------------------------
+
+INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.9.4:

+
+
+2.5.2
+-----
+
+All:
+
+- Hindi translation added (Dhananjaya Sharma)
+- Brazilian Portuguese translation added (E. A. Tacao)
+- wxDynamicCast() now uses static_cast internally and so using it
+  with anything not deriving from wxObject will fail at compile time (instead
+  of run-time) now
+- when wxUSE_STL == 1 and STL provides quasi-standard hash_map/hash_set,
+  wxHashMap/wxHashSet are just typedefs for them. This makes impossible
+  to forward declare these classes.
+
+All (GUI):
+
+- wxHtmlWindow now delays image scaling until rendering,
+  resulting in much better display of scaled images
+- Added UpdateSize to wxSplitterWindow to allow layout while hidden

+- support for KOI8-U encoding added (Yuriy Tkachenko)
+- The old wxADJUST_MINSIZE behaviour is now the default behaviour for
+  sizer items that are windows.  This means that GetAdjustedBestSize
+  will now be called by default to determine the minimum size that a
+  window in a sizer should have.  If you want to still use the initial
+  size (and not the BestSize) then use the wxFIXED_MINSIZE flag.  When
+  windows are added to a sizer their initial size is made the window's
+  min size using SetSizeHints, and calls to wxSizer::SetItemMinSize
+  are also forwarded to SetSizeHints for window items.
+- added wxRegEx::GetMatchCount()

+
+wxMSW:
+
+- wxWindow::Freeze()/Thaw() can now be nested

+- wxRegConf couldn't read global settings without admin privileges and didn't
+  even try to do it by default -- now it does
+- wxTaskBarIcon must be explicitly destroyed now, otherwise the application
+  won't exit even though there are no top level windows
+- wxFileName::GetModificationTime() works with opened files too now
+- wxDC::GetClippingBox() now works even for clipping regions created by Windows
+- fixed wxFileDataObject in Unicode build (Alex D)

+
+wxGTK:
+
+- added support for wxTE_RIGHT and wxTE_CENTRE styles under GTK2 (Mart Raudsepp)
+
+wxMotif:
+
+- removed wxMenuItem::DeleteSubMenu()
+- wxButtons use Motif default size, which is smaller than it used to be
+  and closer to wxMSW/wxGTK look. This can be disabled by setting
+  motif.largebuttons system option to 1 (see wxSystemOptions).
+
+wxUniv/X11:
+
+- implemented DrawRoundedRectangle() (clawghoul)
+
+wxHTML:
+

+  number of pages in print dialog, in common with other Windows apps;
+  wxHTML easy printing's preview shows number of pages

+
+OLD CHANGES
+===========
+
+INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.2.x
+================================
+
+    Please take a few minutes to read the following list, especially
+    paying attention to the most important changes which are marked
+    with '!' in the first column.
+
+    Also please note that you should ensure that WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_2
+    is defined to 1 if you wish to retain maximal compatibility with 2.2
+    series -- however you are also strongly encouraged to try to compile
+    your code without this define as it won't be default any longer in
+    2.6 release.
+
+    NB: if you want to build your program with different major versions
+        of wxWidgets you will probably find the wxCHECK_VERSION() macro
+        (see the documentation) useful.
+
+
+wxBase:
+
+! wxArray::Remove(size_t) has been removed to fix compilation problems
+  under 64 bit architectures, please replace it with RemoveAt() in your
+  code.
+
+! wxArray macros have been changed to fix runtime problems under 64 bit
+  architectures and as a side effect of this WX_DEFINE_ARRAY() can only be
+  used now for the pointer types, WX_DEFINE_ARRAY_INT should be used for the
+  arrays containing non-pointers.
+
+- wxObject::CopyObject() and Clone() methods were removed because they
+  simply don't make sense for all objects
+
+- wxEvent now has a pure virtual Clone() method which must be implemented
+  by all derived classes, if you have user-defined event classes please
+  add "wxEvent *Clone() const { return new MyEvent(*this); }" line to them
+
+- small change to wxStopWatch::Pause() semantics, please see the documentation
+
+- unlikely but possible incompatibility: the definition of TRUE has changed
+  from "1" to "(bool)1" (and the same thing for FALSE), so the code which
+  could be erroneously compiled previously such as doing "return FALSE" from
+  a function returning a pointer would stop compiling now (but this change
+  is not supposed to have any effects on valid code)
+
+- another minor change: wxApp::OnAssert() has a new "cond" argument, you
+  must modify YourApp::OnAssert() signature if you were using it to override
+  the default assert handling.
+
+All (GUI):
+
+! the event type constants are not constants any more but are dynamically
+  allocated during run-time which means that they can't be used as case labels
+  in the switch()es, you must rewrite them to use if()s instead
+
+  You may also define WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_EVENT_TYPES to get the old behaviour
+  but this is strongly discouraged, please consider changing your code
+  instead!
+
+! wxDialog does not derive from wxPanel any longer - if you were using it in
+  your code, please update it. 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.

+wxMSW:
+
+- Win16 support working again (VC++ 1.5)
+- Win16 now uses generic wxNotebook, wxListCtrl,
+  wxTreeCtrl -- more or less working now, although
+  a little work on wxNotebook is still needed.
+  Under 16-bit Windows, get assertion when you click
+  on a tab.
+- Wrote 16-bit BC++ makefiles: samples don't yet link.
+- Added CodeWarrior support to distribution courtesy
+  of Stefan Csomor.
+
+wxMotif:
+
+- Cured scrolling problem: scrollbars now show/hide themselves
+  without (permanently) resizing the window.
+- Removed some commented-out lines in wxScrolledWindow::AdjustScrollbars
+  that disabled scrollbar paging.
+- Set background colour of drawing area in wxWindow, so e.g. wxListCtrl
+  colours correctly.
+- Removed major bug whereby dialogs were unmanaged automatically
+  when any button was pressed.
+- Fixed colours of wxWindow scrollbars, made list and text controls
+  have a white background.
+- Fixed dialog colour setting.
+- Added settable fonts and colours for wxMenu/wxMenuBar. Now
+  they have sensible colours by default.
+- Fixed a bug in wxStaticBox.
+- Cured wxTreeCtrl bug: now works pretty well!
+- Debugged DrawEllipticArc (a ! in the wrong place).
+- Added SetClippingRegion( const wxRegion& region ).
+- Added wxPoint, wxSize, wxRect versions of SetSize etc.
+
+Alpha 17, November 22nd 1998
+----------------------------
+
+wxMSW:
+
+- More documentation updates, especially for
+  wxLayoutWindow classes and debugging facilities.
+- Changed wxDebugContext to use wxDebugLog instead
+  of wxTrace.
+- Now supports VC++ 6.0, and hopefully BC++ 5.0.
+  However, DLL support may be broken for BC++ since
+  VC++ 6 required changing of WXDLLEXPORT keyword
+  position.
+- Numerous miscellaneous changes.
+
+wxMotif:
+
+- Reimplemented MDI using wxNotebook instead of the MDI widgets, which
+  were too buggy (probably not design for dynamic addition/removal of
+  child frames).
+- Some improvements to the wxNotebook implementation.
+- wxToolBar now uses a bulletin board instead of a form, in an attempt
+  to make it possible to add ordinary wxControls to a toolbar.
+- Cured problem with not being able to use global memory operators,
+  by defining two more global operators, so that the delete will match
+  the debugging implementation.
+- Added wxUSE_DEBUG_NEW_ALWAYS so we can distinguish between using
+  global memory operators (usually OK) and #defining new to be
+  WXDEBUG_NEW (sometimes it might not be OK).
+- Added time.cpp to makefile; set wxUSE_DATETIME to 1.
+- Added a parent-existence check to popup menu code to make it not crash.
+- Added some optimization in wxWindow::SetSize to produce less flicker.
+  It remains to be seen whether this produces any resize bugs.
+
+It's a long time since I updated this file. Previously done:
+
+- wxFrame, wxDialog done.
+- wxScrolledWindow done (but backing pixmap not used at present).
+- wxBitmap done though could be tidied it up at some point.
+- Most basic controls are there, if not rigorously tested.
+- Some MDI support (menus appear on child frames at present).
+- wxNotebook almost done.
+- wxToolBar done (horizontal only, which would be easy to extend
+  to vertical toolbars).
+
+More recently:
+
+- Colour and font changing done (question mark over what happens
+  to scrollbars).
+- Accelerators done (for menu items and buttons). Also event loop
+  tidied up in wxApp so that events are filtered through ProcessXEvent.
+- wxWindow::GetUpdateRegion should now work.
+
+Alpha 16, September 8th 1998
+----------------------------
+
+wxMSW:
+
+- Added wxSashWindow, wxSashLayoutWindow classes, and sashtest
+  sample.
+- Guilhem's socket classes added, plus wxsocket sample.
+- A few more makefiles added.
+- GnuWin32/BC++ compatibility mods.
+- Further doc updates.
+- wxProp updates for correct working with wxGTK.
+
+wxMotif:
+
+- First start at Motif port.
+- Made makefiles for wxMotif source directory and minimal sample.
+- First go at wxApp, wxWindow, wxDialog, wxPen, wxBrush, wxFont,
+  wxColour, wxButton, wxCheckBox, wxTextCtrl, wxStaticText,
+  wxMenu, wxMenuItem, wxMenuBar
+
+Alpha 15, August 31st 1998
+--------------------------
+
+wxMSW:
+
+- wxBitmap debugged.
+- wxDC::GetDepth added.
+- Contribution added whereby wxBitmap will be
+  converted to DC depth if they don't match.
+- wxConfig API improved, documentation updated.
+- Printing classes name conventions cleaned up.
+- wxUpdateUIEvent now derives from wxCommandEvent
+  so event can travel up the window hierarchy.
+
+Alpha 14, July 31st 1998
+------------------------
+
+wxMSW:
+
+- Toolbar API has been simplified, and now
+  wxFrame::GetClientArea returns the available client
+  area when toolbar, status bar etc. have been accounted for.
+  wxFrame::CreateToolBar added in line with CreateStatusBar.
+- Documentation updates, incl. for wxToolBar.
+- New wxAcceleratorTable class plus wxFrame::SetAcceleratorTable.
+- Various additions from other folk, e.g. streams, wxConfig
+  changes, wxNotebook.
+- Added wxDocMDIParentFrame, wxDocMDIChildFrame for doc/view.
+
+Alpha 13, July 8th 1998
+-----------------------
+
+wxMSW:
+
+- Implemented wxPoint as identical to POINT on Windows, and
+  altered wxDC wxPoint functions to use wxPoint directly in
+  Windows functions, for efficiency.
+- Cured wxASSERT bug in wxStatusBar95.
+- #ifdefed out some bits in oleutils.cpp for compilers that
+  don't support it.
+- Added some operators to wxPoint, wxSize.
+- Added inline wxDC functions using wxPoint, wxSize, wxRect.
+
+Alpha 12, July 7th 1998
+-----------------------
+
+wxMSW:
+
+- Added wxApp::GetComCtl32Version, and wxTB_FLAT style, so can
+  have flat toolbars on Win98 or Win95 with IE >= 3 installed.
+
+Alpha 11, July 3rd 1998
+-----------------------
+
+wxMSW:
+
+- Added thread.h, thread.cpp.
+- Changed Enabled, Checked to IsEnabled, IsChecked in wxMenu,
+  wxMenuBar.
+- Changed wxMenuItem::SetBackColor to SetBackgroundColour,
+  SetTextColor to SetTextColour, and added or made public several
+  wxMenuItem accessors.
+- Added two overloads to wxRegion::Contains. Added
+  wxRegion::IsEmpty for a more consistent naming convention.
+- Added Vadim's wxDataObject and wxDropSource.
+- ENTER/LEAVE events now work.
+- Cured wxMemoryDC bug where the DC wasn't being deleted.
+- Cured wxGauge SetSize major bugginess.
+- Cured problem where if a GDI object was created on the stack,
+  then went out of scope, then another object was selected into
+  the DC, GDI objects would leak. This is because the assignment
+  to e.g. wxDC::m_pen would delete the GDI object without it first
+  being selected out of the DC. Cured by selecting the old DC object
+  first, then doing the assignment.
+- Split up wxGaugeMSW, wxGauge95, wxSliderMSW, wxSlider95
+- Various other bug fixes and additions.
+
+Generic:
+
+- Major work on Dialog Editor (still plenty to go).
+- Expanded documentation a bit more.
+
+Alpha 10, May 7th 1998
+----------------------
+
+wxMSW:
+
+- Added desiredWidth, desiredHeight parameters to wxBitmapHandler
+  and wxIcon functions so that you can specify what size of
+  icon should be loaded. Probably will remain a Windows-specific thing.
+- wxStatusBar95 now works for MDI frames.
+- Toolbars in MDI frames now behave normally. They still
+  require application-supplied positioning code though.
+- Changed installation instructions, makefiles and batch files
+  for compiling with Gnu-Win32/Mingw32/EGCS. Also timercmn.cpp
+  change to support Mingw32/EGCS. Bison now used by default.
+
+Alpha 9, April 27th 1998
+------------------------
+
+wxMSW:
+
+- Cured bug in wxStatusBar95 that caused a crash if multiple
+  fields were used.
+- Added Gnu-Win32 b19/Mingw32 support by changing resource
+  compilation and pragmas.
+- Cured wxMenu bug introduced in alpha 8 - didn't respond to
+  commands because VZ changed the id setting in wxMenu::MSWCommand.
+
+Generic:
+
+- Corrected some bugs, such as the wxModule compilation problem.
+- Added Gnu-Win32 b19/Mingw32 support by changing resource
+  compilation and pragmas.
+- Changed SIZEOF to WXSIZEOF.
+
+Alpha 8, April 17th 1998
+------------------------
+
+wxMSW:
+
+- Added IsNull to wxGDIObject to check if the ref data is present or not.
+- Added PNG handler and sample - doesn't work for 16-bit PNGs for
+  some reason :-(
+- Added wxJoystick class and event handling, and simple demo.
+- Added simple wxWave class. Needs Stop() function.
+- Added wxModule (module.h/module.cpp) to allow definition
+  of modules to be initialized and cleaned up on wxWidgets
+  startup/exit.
+- Start of Mingw32 compatibility (see minimal and dialogs samples
+  makefile.m95 files, and install.txt).
+- Note: Windows printing has stopped working... will investigate.
+VADIM'S CHANGES:
+- Updated wxString: bug fixes, added wxArrayString, some
+  compatibility functions.
+- Updated log.h/cpp, added wxApp::CreateLogTarget.
+- file.h: new wxTempFile class.
+- defs.h: added wxSB_SIZE_GRIP for wxStatusBar95
+- statbr95: wxStatusBar95 control.
+- registry.h/cpp: wxRegKey class for Win95 registry.
+- listbox.cpp: corrected some bugs with owner-drawn listboxes.
+- wxConfig and wxFileConfig classes.
+
+Generic:
+
+- Added src/other/png, src/other/zlib directories.
+- Added samples/png.
+- IMPORTANT: Changed 'no id' number from 0 to -1, in wxEVT_ macros.
+  Porters, please check particularly your wxTreeCtrl and wxListCtrl
+  header files.
+- Added modules.h/cpp, config.cpp, fileconf.cpp, textfile.cpp/h.
+
+Alpha 7, March 30th 1998
+------------------------
+
+wxMSW:
+
+- Added tab classes, tab sample.
+- Now can return FALSE from OnInit and windows will be
+  cleaned up properly before exit.
+- Improved border handling so panels don't get borders
+  automatically.
+- Debugged MDI activation from Window menu.
+- Changes to memory debug handling, including checking for
+  memory leaks on application exit - but see issues.txt for
+  unresolved issues.
+- Added wxTaskBarIcon (taskbar.cpp/h, plus samples/taskbar)
+  to allow maintenance of an icon in the Windows 95 taskbar
+  tray area.
+- Got MFC sample working (MFC and wxWidgets in the same
+  application), partly by tweaking ntwxwin.mak settings.
+- Got DLL compilation working again (VC++).
+- Changed wxProp/Dialog Editor filenames.
+
+Generic:
+
+- Added tab classes, tab sample.
+- Revised memory.cpp, memory.h slightly; memory.h now #defines
+  new to WXDEBUG_NEW in DEBUG mode. Windows implementation app.cpp
+  now checks for leaks on exit. Added memcheck sample.
+  See src/msw/issues.txt for more details.
+- resource.h, resource.cpp changed to make wxDefaultResourceTable
+  a pointer. Now initialize resource system with
+  wxInitializeResourceSystem and wxCleanUpResourceSystem, to
+  allow better control of memory.
+- wxString now derives from wxObject, to enable memory leak
+  checking.
+- Added some #include fixes in various files, plus changed
+  float to long in wxToolBar files.
+
+Alpha 6, March 10th 1998
+------------------------
+
+wxMSW:
+
+- Found stack error bug - stopped unwanted OnIdle recursion.
+- Removed bug in wxTreeCtrl::InsertItem I added in alpha 5.
+- Changed exit behaviour in wxApp/wxFrame/wxDialog. Now will
+  check if the number of top-level windows is zero before
+  exiting. Also, wxApp::GetTopWindow will return either
+  m_topWindow or the first member of wxTopLevelWindows, so you
+  don't have to call wxApp::SetTopWindow.
+- Added dynarray.h/dynarray.cpp (from Vadim).
+- Added first cut at OLE drag and drop (from Vadim). dnd sample
+  added. Drop target only at this stage. See src/msw/ole/*.cpp,
+  wx/include/msw/ole/*.h. WIN32 only because of UUID usage.
+  Doesn't work with GnuWin32 - no appropriate headers e.g. for
+  IUnknown.
+  Doesn't work with BC++ either - crashes on program startup.
+- Added Vadim's owner-draw modifications - will probably remain
+  Windows-only. This enhances wxMenu, wxListBox. See ownerdrw sample.
+- Added wxLB_OWNERDRAW for owner-draw listboxes.
+- Vadim's wxCheckListBox derives from wxListBox. See checklst sample.
+  Doesn't entirely work for WIN16.
+- Vadim has added wxMenuItem as a separate file menuitem.cpp. It
+  can also be used as an argument to wxMenu::Append, not just for
+  internal implementation.
+- Some #ifdefs done for MINGW32 compilation (just alter OPTIONS
+  in makeg95.env, together with mingw32.bat). However, resource
+  binding is not working yet so most apps with dialogs crash.
+
+Generic:
+
+- Added Vadim's dynarray.h, dynarray.cpp.
+- Added Vadim's menuitem.cpp.
+- Added Windows-specific wxCheckListBox,
+  owner-draw wxListBox, and drag-and-drop
+  (see docs/msw/changes.txt).
+
+Alpha 5, 14th February 1998
+--------------------------
+
+wxMSW:
+
+- GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE
+  DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to
+  the Windows-specific code only. See docs/changes.txt for generic
+  changes.
+- Removed Windows-specific reference counting system (GDI
+  resources were cleaned up in idle time) - minimal
+  advantages now we have a wxWin reference counting system.
+- Added missing WXDLLEXPORT keywords so DLL compilation works
+  again.
+- Removed most warnings for GnuWin32 compilation.
+- Added wxRegion/wxRegionIterator, but haven't yet used it in
+  e.g. wxDC.
+
+Generic:
+
+- GENERIC AND MSW-SPECIFIC CODE NOW TREATED AS TWO SEPARATE
+  DISTRIBUTIONS. This change log will therefore now refer to
+  the generic code only. See docs/msw/changes.txt for Windows-specific
+  changes.
+- Readmes, change logs and installation files now go in
+  platform-specific directories under docs, e.g. docs/msw,
+  docs/gtk.
+- Added DECLARE_APP and IMPLEMENT_APP macros so wxApp object gets
+  created dynamically, not as a global object.
+- Put wxColour into wx/msw/colour.h, src/msw/colour.cpp.
+- Changed names of some include/wx/generic headers to be
+  consistent and to conform to gcc pragma conventions. Also
+  changed choicesg.cpp to choicdgg.cpp.
+- Added gcc pragmas.
+- Added gtk inclusion in include/wx headers.
+- Added consistent file headings to source and headers.
+- Removed lang.cpp, lang.h and references to wxSTR_... variables;
+  added a few references to wxTransString.
+- Added operator to wxTransString that converts automatically
+  to wxString, so we can say e.g. wxMessageBox(wxTransString("Hello"), ...).
+- samples/internat now works (minimally).
+- Added wxMouseEvent::GetPosition and
+  wxMouseEvent::GetLogicalPosition, both returning wxPoints.
+- Made wxSize and wxRect contain longs not ints.
+- Cured some memory leaks (thanks Vadim).
+- Tidied up OnIdle and introduced RequestMore/MoreRequested so
+  will only keep processing OnIdle if it returns TRUE from
+  MoreRequested.
+
+Alpha 4, 31st January 1998
+--------------------------
+
+All:
+
+- Changed wxDC functions to take longs instead of floats. GetSize now takes
+  integer pointers, plus a version that returns a wxSize.
+- const keyword added to various wxDC functions.
+- Under Windows, wxDC no longer has any knowledge of whether
+  an associated window is scrolled or not. Instead, the device
+  origin is set by wxScrolledWindow in wxScrolledWindow::PrepareDC.
+- wxScrolledWindow applications can optionally override the virtual OnDraw
+  function instead of using the OnPaint event handler. The wxDC passed to
+  OnDraw will be translated by PrepareDC to reflect scrolling.
+  When drawing outside of OnDraw, must call PrepareDC explicitly.
+- wxToolBarBase/wxToolBarSimple similarly changed to allow for
+  scrolling toolbars.
+- Integrated wxPostScriptDC patches for 1.xx by Chris Breeze,
+  to help printing with multiple pages.
+- IPC classes given base classes (wxConnectionBase etc.) which
+  define the API used by different implementations. DDE
+  implementation updated to use these base classes.
+- wxHelpInstance now separated into wxHelpControllerBase (base
+  for all implementations), wxWinHelpController (uses standard
+  WinHelp), wxXLPHelpController (talks to wxHelp by DDE or
+  TCP/IP). There will be others eventually, such as
+  wxHTMLHelpController for Microsoft (and Netscape?) HTML Help.
+- Added Vadim Zeitlin's wxString class plus
+  internationalization code (gettext simulation, wxLocale, etc.).
+  New files from Vadim:
+  include\wx\string.h
+  include\wx\debug.h
+  include\wx\file.h
+  include\wx\log.h
+  include\wx\intl.h
+  src\common\string.cpp
+  src\common\log.cpp
+  src\common\intl.cpp
+  src\common\file.cpp
+  No longer use GNU wxString files.
+- Split off file-related functions into include\wx\filefn.h and
+  src\common\filefn.cpp.
+- Borland C++ support (WIN32) for main library and
+  samples, using makefile.b32 files.
+- Preparation done for allowing BC++ to compile wxWin as a DLL,
+  including changes to defs.h.
+- wxIntPoint removed, wxPoint is now int, and wxRealPoint
+  introduced.
+- Added wxShowEvent (generated when window is being shown or
+  hidden).
+- Got minimal, docview, mdi samples working for 16-bit VC++ and
+  cured 16-bit problem with wxTextCtrl (removed global memory
+  trick).
+- Updated GnuWin32 makefiles, checked minimal, mdi, docview samples.
+
+Alpha 3, September 1997
+-----------------------
+
+All:
+
+- wxListCtrl, wxTreeCtrl, wxImageList classes done.
+- Instigated new file hierarchy, split files and classes up more logically.
+- PrologIO and some other utils now put into core library.
+- Revamped print/preview classes, added wxPageSetupDialog.
+- Started documentation.
+
+Alpha 2, 30th April 1997
+------------------------
+
+All:
+
+- EVT_... macros now have at least one argument, for conformance
+  with MetroWerks compiler.
+- Added ids to .wxr file format.
+- Got Dialog Editor compiled and running again but need
+  to extend functionality to be in line with new controls.
+  Added dialoged\test app to allow dynamic loading of .wxr files
+  for testing purposes.
+- Rewrote wxBitmap to allow installable file type
+  handlers.
+- Rewrote wxBitmapButton, wxStaticBitmap to not use Fafa.
+- Wrote most of wxTreeCtrl and sample (need wxImageList to implement it
+  fully).
+- Added back wxRadioBox.
+- Tidied up wx_main.cpp, wxApp class, putting PenWin code in
+  a separate file.
+
+Alpha 1, 5th April 1997
+-----------------------
+
+Generic:
+
+At this point, the following has been achieved:
+
+- A lot, but not all, of the code has been revamped for better
+  naming conventions, protection of data members, and use of
+  wxString instead of char *.
+- Obsolete functionality deleted (e.g. default wxPanel layout,
+  old system event system) and code size reduced.
+- Class hierarchy changed (see design doc) - base classes such
+  as wxbWindow now removed.
+- No longer includes windows.h in wxWin headers, by using stand-in
+  Windows types where needed e.g. WXHWND.
+- PrologIO revised.
+- wxScrolledWindow, wxStatusBar and new MDI classes added.
+  MDI is now achieved using separate classes, not window styles.
+- wxSystemSettings added, and made use of to reflect standard
+  Windows settings.
+- SetButtonFont/SetLabelFont replaced by SetFont; font and colour
+  settings mucho rationalised.
+- All windows are now subclassed with the same window proc to make
+  event handling far more consistent. Old internal wxWnd and derived
+  classes removed.
+- API for controls revised, in particular addition of
+  wxValidator parameters and removal of labels for some controls.
+- 1 validator written: see examples/validate.
+- Event table system introduced (see most samples and
+  wx_event.cpp/ProcessEvent, wx_event.h). wxEvtHandler
+  made more flexible, with Push/PopEventHandler allowing a chain
+  of event handlers.
+- wxRadioBox removed - will be added back soon.
+- Toolbar class hierarchy revised:
+  wxToolBarBase
+  wxToolBarSimple (= old wxToolBar)
+  wxToolBar95 (= old wxButtonBar under Win95)
+  wxToolBarMSW (= old wxButtonBar under WIN16/WIN32)
+- Constraint system debugged somewhat (sizers now work properly).
+- wxFileDialog, wxDirDialog added; other common dialogs now
+  have class equivalents. Generic colour and font dialogs
+  rewritten to not need obsolete panel layout.
+- .wxr resource system partially reinstated, though needs
+  an integer ID for controls. Hopefully the resource system
+  will be replaced by something better and more efficient
+  in the future.
+- Device contexts no longer stored with window and accessed
+  with GetDC - use wxClientDC, wxPaintDC, wxWindowDC stack
+  variables instead.
+- wxSlider uses trackbar class under Win95, and wxSL_LABELS flag
+  determines whether labels are shown. Other Win95-specific flags
+  introduced, e.g. for showing ticks.
+- Styles introduced for dealing with 3D effects per window, for
+  any window: all Win95 3D effects supported, plus transparent windows.
+- Major change to allow 3D effect support without CTL3D, under
+  Win95.
+- Bitmap versions of button and checkbox separated out into new
+  classes, but unimplemented as yet because I intend to remove
+  the need for Fafa - it apparently causes GPFs in Win95 OSR 2.
+- utils/wxprop classes working (except maybe wxPropertyFormView)
+  in preparation for use in Dialog Editor.
+- GNU-WIN32 compilation verified (a month or so ago).
