                             wxWidgets Change Log
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: This file contains the list of changes since wxWidgets 3.x, please see
      docs/changes_30.txt for the changes in the previous versions.


INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 3.0.x:
=================================

Changes in behaviour not resulting in compilation errors
--------------------------------------------------------

- wxRibbonButtonBar::DeleteButton() now deletes and not just removes the button.
- Default interpolation mode in wxGDIPlusContext under MSW is now
  wxINTERPOLATION_DEFAULT and not wxINTERPOLATION_GOOD as in 3.0 for
  consistency with OS X, call SetInterpolationQuality() explicitly if needed.

- Calling wxYield() in wxMSW now generates wxEVT_IDLE events, just as in the
  other ports, but this can be unexpected for the applications not expecting
  their idle handlers to be called from inside wxYield().

- Creating wxBitmap with 0 width or height now always fails in all ports
  (it used to succeed in wxMSW).

Changes in behaviour which may result in build errors
-----------------------------------------------------

- "webview" library is not included in `wx-config --libs` output any more, you
  need to request it explicitly, e.g. `wx-config --libs std,webview`.
