- Some structure fields which used to be of type "const wxChar *" (such as

+ use the special wxT_2, which is the same as wxT in 2.x only, instead.
- wxIPC classes didn't work correctly in Unicode build before, this was fixed
but at a price of breaking backwards compatibility: many methods which used
were removed as they were unmaintained and broken since several years.

sizes of the sizer items to be in the same proportion as the items
proportions to return to the old behaviour.
+- Interpretation of font height in pixels parameter has changed in wxFont
+ ctor and SetPixelSize() in wxMSW: it is now used as character height and not
+ the total cell height. If you previously used negative height to explicitly
+ request character height matching, you may now change your code to use
+ positive value (passing negative height still works but is undocumented and
+ deprecated). If you used positive height before you should retest your code
+ to check if the changes correspond to your expectations. And if you do need
+ the old behaviour please contact us at wx-dev to let us know about it!
+
- wxWindow::Freeze/Thaw() are not virtual any more, if you overrode them in
your code you need to override DoFreeze/DoThaw() instead now.
new constructors taking wxSize for the gap argument is preferred. The same
applies to wxFlexGridSizer as well.
+- wxBoxSizer::AddSpacer(x) now adds space in the direction of the sizer only
+ and not in both this and the orthogonal directions. This behaviour is what
+ most of the people expect but if you really relied on this overload adding
+ space in both directions you should change your code to use AddSpacer(x, x).
+
+- wxTextCtrl::LoadFile no longer sends a text update event.
+
+- wxXmlDocument::Save()'s indentstep argument's interpretation was fixed
+ to match the documentation: it now really is the number of spaces in
+ indentation instead of being its double. Its default value was changed
+ accordingly, to 2.
+
+- wxLOCALE_CONV_ENCODING flag has no effect now, catalogs are converted
+ regardless of whether the flag was specified or not. This only affects
+ legacy ANSI builds.
+
+- wxNotebook::GetSelection() returns the new page index when called from
+ wxEVT_COMMAND_NOTEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGED event handler in wxMSW, not the old one.
+ The new behaviour is consistent with wxGTK and more logical but different
+ from the previous versions. Using wxNotebookEvent::GetSelection() instead of
+ querying the notebook selection avoids the problem and is recommended.
+
+- wxMSW-specific wxAutomationObject::GetInstance() method now creates a new
+ instance if needed instead of failing if the application providing the
+ requested ProgID is not running. Pass wxAutomationInstance_UseExistingOnly
+ flag to it to revert to the old behaviour. It is also possible to use the
+ wxAutomationInstance_SilentIfNone flag to prevent the error message if no
+ currently running instances of this object are available.
+
+- Signatures of wxDataViewCustomRenderer::Activate(), LeftClick() and
+ StartDrag() virtual methods changed. You will need to change them in your
+ derived renderer class too if you override them.
+
+- wxThread::Wait() and wxThread::Delete() used to dispatch the events while
+ waiting for the thread to exit in wxMSW. They still do it in default build
+ with WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_8 defined but won't dispatch any events, i.e. the
+ default wait mode will become wxTHREAD_WAIT_BLOCK in the next wxWidgets
+ release so you are strongly encouraged to upgrade your code to stop relying
+ on this behaviour.
+
+- wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK events are not generated any more if the mouse is captured to
+ prevent the parent wxTopLevelWindow from interfering with the keyboard
+ handling of the window that captured the mouse.
+
Changes in behaviour which may result in compilation errors
-----------------------------------------------------------
- Virtual wxHtmlParser::AddText() takes wxString, not wxChar*, argument now.
-- Functions that took wxChar* arguments that could by NULL in wxWidgets 2.8
+- Functions that took wxChar* arguments that could be NULL in wxWidgets 2.8
are deprecated and passing NULL to them won't compile anymore, wxEmptyString
must be used instead.
without enclosing parentheses results in warnings from g++ with -Wparentheses,
add parentheses around the if statement body to work around it.
+- wxList::Member() now returns bool and not a pointer/iterator. This shouldn't
+ require any changes as it was always meant to be used for checking for the
+ presence of an element in the list only. If you used it as Find(), simple do
+ use Find() instead.
+
+- wxLongLongFmtSpec is now a normal and not wide string so you will need to
+ change expressions of the form wxT("%") wxLongLongFmtSpec wxT("x") to
+ just "%" wxLongLongFmtSpec "x", i.e. simply remove wxT() from the strings you
+ concatenate with it.
+
+- wxST_MARKUP doesn't exist any more, use wxControl::SetLabelMarkup() instead.
+
Deprecated methods and their replacements
-----------------------------------------
the static box itself.
- wxMouseState::{Left,Middle,Right}Down() were renamed to XXXIsDown() for
consistency with wxMouseEvent and the old names were deprecated.
-
+- wxFont::SetNoAntiAliasing() was deprecated, it never really worked in most
+ ports and was always marked as "experimental" API. It will be replaced with
+ wxDC-level anti-aliasing control in the future.
+- wxValidator::SetBellOnError() incorrectly interpreted its argument (it
+ disabled the bell when it was true) and was replaced by SuppressBellOnError()
+ with more expected semantics.
+- wxPORTRAIT and wxLANDSCAPE are now elements of wxPrintOrientation enum and
+ wxPrintData::SetOrientation(int) takes wxPrintOrientation and not int.
+- Second parameter of wxSlider::SetTickFreq(int n, int pos) is deprecated,
+ simply remove it from your code and use wxSlider::SetTickFreq(int n) as it
+ was never used anyhow.
Major new features in this release
----------------------------------
- New propgrid library containing wxPropertyGrid and related classes.
+- new ribbon library for advanced toolbars.
+
- Many enhancements to wxDataViewCtrl.
- Event loops, timers and sockets can now be used in wxBase, without GUI.
