      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.
