 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.2.x
 ================================
 

+    Please take a few minutes to read the following list, especially
+    paying attention to the most important changes which are marked
+    with '!' in the first column.
+
+    Also please note that you should ensure that WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_2
+    is defined to 1 if you wish to retain maximal compatibility with 2.2
+    series -- however you are also strongly encouraged to try to compile
+    your code without this define as it won't be default any longer in
+    2.6 release.
+
+    NB: if you want to build your program with different major versions
+        of wxWindows you will probably find the wxCHECK_VERSION() macro
+        (see the documentation) useful.

+- small change to wxStopWatch::Pause() semantics, please see the documentation

+- unlikely but possible incompatibility: the definition of TRUE has changed

+  a function returning a pointer would stop compiling now (but this change
