UPDATE:
Thanks to cgarcia109 and Loaden, rendering issues related to wxWidgets 2.8.11 were fixed, and a reliable build using wxWidgets 2.8.11 is now possible.
A simple patch to main.cpp, just submitted to berlios.de, can be viewed
here.
Hi to all,
Since the latest wxWidgets stable release, version 2.8.11, happened today (yay

), I'm starting a thread where everybody can post any possible problems that may have occurred trying to build the Code::Blocks SVN head, or any plugins, with it.
EDIT: An excerpt from 'changes.txt', highlighting significant changes introduced in 2.8.11:
*** INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES: ***
Due to an oversight, a bug fix in wxMSW resulted in an incompatible change in
wxTreeCtrl behaviour: its EVT_TREE_ITEM_ACTIVATED handler now must skip the
event being processed to allow the item to be toggled by double clicking on it.
I.e. you need to ensure there is an "event.Skip()" in your item activation
handler if you do wish to allow the item to be toggled.
All:
- Fixed crashes due to invalid input in PNG and TIFF image loaders (Tielei Wang).
- Fix compilation of wxWidgets headers with recent Sun CC (Brian Cameron).
NB: If your code uses _T() macro you must either replace it with wxT() to
use Sun CC or define wxNEEDS__T before including wx headers and avoid
including many standard headers (again, only with this compiler).
- Added several functions forward compatible with wxWidgets 3.0 (troelsk):
wxDC::SetDeviceClippingRegion(), wxShowEvent::IsShown(),
wxIconizeEvent::IsIconized(), wxFileName::StripExtension(),
wxXmlNode::GetAttribute(), wxXmlNode::AddAttribute().
- wxDateTime timezone functions now dynamic (no caching).
All (GUI):
- Add wxBU_EXACTFIT support to wxToggleButton XRC handler (Ronny Krueger).
- wxRTC: fixed AltGr+key input and numeric keypad Delete on Windows.
- wxRTC: added background colour setting to font dialog.
- wxRTC: added wxRICHTEXT_HANDLER_USE_CSS flag for HTML handler to use CSS
where possible.
- wxRTC: corrected centring and right-justification spacing.
- wxRTC: corrected some problems with SelectAll. Caret is now set to end.
- Paper size conversion from dimensions to id now uses definition ordering
in order to use common types where there are duplications, fixing problems
where invalid sizes caused incorrect second invocation of page setup
dialog.
- Corrected writing direction for Farsi.
- Added wxBORDER_THEME to XRC.
- Speeded up wxTreeCtrl by caching text size (botg).
- Fix building with using system libpng 1.4 (Volker Grabsch).
- Fixed generic wxDatePickerCtrl keyboard navigation.
- Added EVT_WIZARD_PAGE_SHOWN event for wxWizard.
wxMSW:
- Fixed crash when copying Unicode URLs to the clipboard (Tim Kosse).
- Fixed generation of wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK events.
- Implement wxFileName::SetTimes() for directories (Steve Lamerton).
- Correct wxTopLevelWindow::SetShape() for windows with menu bar (Peter Friis).
- Backported speed-up of Vaclav Slavik's high quality print preview speed-up.
You now need to set wxUSE_HIGH_QUALITY_PREVIEW_IN_WXMSW in
src/common/prntbase.cpp and wxUSE_ENH_METAFILE_FROM_DC in
include/wx/msw/enhmeta.h.
- Worked around child window and caret positioning bug (in Windows) when using
wxBORDER_THEME in a container window.
- Suppressed spurious character event for decimal key in numeric keypad.
- Prevented wxCheckListBox from corrupting menu items.
wxGTK:
- Don't access a possibly destroyed timer object from GTK callback (Tim Kosse).
wxMac:
- Fixed a problem with wxListCtrl whereby event processing would change
the event object identifier, and thereby affect subsequent processing,
and defeat custom event propagation of commands from current focus window.
- Fixed a problem with wxFontDialog on Mac OS 10.6.
UPDATEJust gave it a try. I'm using MinGW-TDM 4.4.1-2 under Windows Vista.
Both Code::Blocks and the supplied contrib plugins compiled without a problem, and work exactly the same as before. Of course, that means that the infamous mixed menu rendering problem under Win7/Vista was not fixed for 2.8.11

.
On the other hand, the program itself works reliably, being little distinction between this version and the previous in terms of stability. Didn't get any surprise crashes.
I also tested the following plugins, all of which compiled without an issue: DoxyBlocks, FileManager, PowerShell and XPMEditor.
Unfortunately, I did come accross something in the XPMEditor, as it no longer draws on screen after opening an xpm image through the toolbar or the File menu. Using the "Start here" shortcuts, though, seems to work fine. While I don't remember noticing this with the 2.8.10 build, I have no idea if this is a wxWidgets issue or not.
