INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.4.x
================================

+ now called much earlier/later than before; please move any exiting code
+ from there to wxApp::OnInit()/OnExit()
+- also, OnExit() is not called if OnInit() fails
+- wxTheApp can't be assigned to any longer, use wxApp::SetInstance() instead
+- wxFileType::GetIcon() returns wxIconLocation, not wxIcon
+- wxWindow::Clear() is now called ClearBackground()
+
+

+ wxHTML easy printing's preview shows number of pages
+ correctly; preview scrollbars are set correctly; keyboard navigation
