+- 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

Changes in behaviour which may result in compilation errors

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
