See [[Lazarus_2.0.0_release_notes|Lazarus 2.0 Release Notes]]
** ScreenToClient and ClientToScreen are now calculated without scrollbar offset. Done for Delphi compatibility.
 
  
* Added flags to exclude some graphics format to create smaller applications:

== Other release notes ==
** -dDisableLCLGIF
 
** -dDisableLCLJPEG
 
** -dDisableLCLPNM
 
** -dDisableLCLTIFF
 
 
 
* [[TImageList]] can now store multiple resolutions for the same image
 
** every LCL control that supports ImageList has now a new [Images]Width property to decide what custom width at 96 PPI (100% scale) is to be used. Example: TToolBar.Images/ImageWidth, TListView.LargeImages/LargeImagesWidth
 
** set the TCustomImageList.Scaled=True property to let the image list automatically pick up the right resolution for your control.
 
 
 
= IDE Changes =
 
 
 
* Delphi Attributes: Find declaration, parameter hints, $modeswitch prefixedattributes.
 
 
 
= IDE Interfaces Changes =
 
 
 
= Components =
 
 
 
=== TOpenGLControl ===
 
* New property Options of type set, currently with ocoMacRetinaMode as the only member. If set, ocoMacRetinaMode determines that the OpenGL controls will use retina support (high resolution mode).
 
 
 
=== TAChart ===
 
* The new TExpressionSeries and TExpressionColorMapSeries plot mathematical functions at design-time.
 
* TLineSeries has a new property "ColorEach" which can be used to color the line segments individually.
 
 
 
= Changes affecting compatibility =
 
 
 
==LazUtils==
 
 
 
==LCL incompatibilities==
 
 
 
=== TCustomComboBox.ReadOnly was deprecated ===
 
* Old behavior: When True, only items from the list are accepted, by direct selection from the list or AutoComplete.
 
* New behavior: it does nothing and will be removed.
 
* Reason: Delphi-compatibility, confusing naming, WS compatibility (different behavior on Win32/Qt/Gtk)
 
* Remedy: Use extended styles for the same feature.
 
 
 
=== Predefined clipboard format pcfDelphiBitmap was removed ===
 
* Old behavior: The enumeration TPredefineClipboardFormat contained an element pcfDelphiBitmap which once had to be introduced due to streaming differences of bitmaps between Delphi and LCL.
 
* New behavior: pcfDelphiBitmap has been removed. (Rare) code relying on exact count and position of the elements of this enumeration will fail.
 
* Reason: No longer needed and causing trouble in clipboard access.
 
* Remedy: None - revisit your code.
 
 
 
=== TEdit.Action visibility lowered to public ===
 
* Old behavior: TEdit.Action was published
 
* New behavior: TEdit.Action is now public
 
* Reason: Delphi compatibility
 
* Remedy: remove from .lfm manually
 
 
 
=== [[TControl]].ScaleFontsPPI, .DoScaleFontPPI parameter change ===
 
 
 
* Old behavior: No AToPPI parameter
 
* New behavior: AToPPI parameter was added
 
* Reason: font scaling problem {{MantisLink|32882}}. This change will be merged to 1.8.1
 
* Remedy: fix parameters
 
 
 
=== MouseEntered deprecated/missing ===
 
 
 
* Old behavior: No warning on using MouseEntered
 
* New behavior: Warning: Symbol "MouseEntered" is deprecated: "use MouseInClient instead"
 
* Reason: Delphi compatibility
 
* Remedy: use property MouseInClient instead
 
 
 
=== TCustomImageList.Add method ===
 
* Old behavior: the image got sliced if too big or extended if too small.
 
* New behavior: the image is scaled to all resolutions in the image list.
 
* Reason: Image List now supports multiple resolutions.
 
* Remedy: use AddSliced (if the image consists of several icons to be added) or AddSlice (if one image from a custom rect has to be added - also rect outside the image is supported).
 
 
 
==Components incompatibilities==
 
 
 
===LazControls: TSpinEditEx no longer inherits from TCustomFloatSpinEditEx===
 
* Old behavior: TSpinEditEx inherited from TFloatSpinEditEx.
 
* New behavior: Both TSpinEditEx and TFloatSpinEditEx now inherit from a common (generic) base class: TSpinEditExBase. As a result testing for "is TCustomFloatSpinEdit" now returns False.
 
* Reason: support for Int64 values in TSpinEdit (Double does not have enough precision to cover the Int64 range). Also makes for cleaner code.
 
* Remedy: test for the appropriate (base) class instead.
 
 
 
=== TAChart: Reticule-related properties deprecated ===
 
* Old behavior: The reticule could be used to display a crosshair cursor in the chart.
 
* New behavior: The reticule will be removed because the crosshair cursor is included in the more versatile charttools.
 
* Reason: Remove duplicate features.
 
* Remedy: Attach a TChartToolset to the chart, add a DatapointCrosshairTool to the toolset and adjust its properties.
 
 
 
=== TAChart events On[After|Before]Draw[Background|BackwallWall] deprecated ===
 
* Old behavior: These events could be used for custom-painting of the chart background or the chart data rectangle background.
 
* New behavior: These events will be removed.
 
* Reason: The events have a parameter Canvas to paint on. TAChart, however, supports additional drawing backends which do not have a canvas.
 
* Remedy: Use the new events On[After|Before]CustomDraw[Background|Backwall] which get the currenty used drawer as a parameter. For drawing use the corresponding drawer methods.
 
 
 
==IDE incompatibilities==
