+- Default location of wxFileConfig files has changed under Windows, you will
+  need to update your code if you access these files directly.
+
+- wxWindow::IsEnabled() now returns false if a window parent (and not
+  necessarily the window itself) is disabled, new function IsThisEnabled()
+  with the same behaviour as old IsEnabled() was added.
+
+- Generating wxNavigationKeyEvent events doesn't work any more under wxGTK (and
+  other platforms in the future), use wxWindow::Navigate() or NavigateIn()
+  instead.

   code that depends on the result being wxChar.
 

+- The value returned by wxString::c_str() cannot be casted to non-const char*
+  or wchar_t* anymore. The solution is to use newly added wxString methods
+  char_str() (which returns a buffer convertible to char*) or wchar_str()
+  (which returns a buffer convertible to wchar_t*). These methods are
+  available in wxWidgets 2.8 series beginning with 2.8.4 as well.

 - The value returned by wxString::operator[] or wxString::iterator cannot be
   used in switch statements anymore, because it's a class instance. Code like
