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
----------------------------------
previous 2.9 versions (but like in 2.8). Use wxLocale (preferred) or call
wxApp::SetCLocale() from your overridden wxApp::Initialize() to restore the
old behaviour.
+- wxWebView::New now takes a string identifier for the backend to be used
+ rather than a wxWebViewBackend enum value.
+- wxWebView identifiers of the form WEB_VIEW_* have been renamed to WEBVIEW_*
+ for consistency with the rest of wxWidgets.
