- Some structure fields which used to be of type "const wxChar *" (such as
wxCmdLineEntryDesc::shortName, longName and description fields) are now of
type "const char *", you need to remove wxT() or _T() around the values used

- 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.
The "gizmos", "ogl", "net" and "foldbar" contribs have been moved to

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.
+
Changes in behaviour which may result in compilation errors
-----------------------------------------------------------
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
-----------------------------------------
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.
