to work with "wxChar *" before use "void *" now (some int parameters were
also changed to size_t). While wxIPC_TEXT can still be used to transfer 7
bit text, the new wxIPC_UTF8TEXT format is used for transferring wxStrings.
+ Also notice that connection classes should change the parameter types of
+ their overridden OnExecute() or override a more convenient OnExec() instead.
wxODBC and contrib libraries removal
- wxWindow::Freeze/Thaw() are not virtual any more, if you overrode them in
your code you need to override DoFreeze/Thaw() instead now.
+- wxCalendarCtrl has native implementation in wxGTK, but it has less features
+ than the generic one. The native implementation is used by default, but you
+ can still use wxGenericCalendarCtrl instead of wxCalendarCtrl in your code if
+ you need the extra features.
+
Changes in behaviour which may result in compilation errors
-----------------------------------------------------------
"Attribute" instead of "Property" or "Prop" in their names.
- wxConnection::OnExecute() is not formally deprecated yet but new code should
use simpler OnExec() version which is called with wxString argument

+- wxMenuItem::GetText has been deprecated in favour of wxMenuItem::GetItemLabel
+- wxMenuItem::GetLabelFromText has been deprecated in favour of wxMenuItem::GetLabelText
+- wxMenuItem::SetText has been deprecated in favour of wxMenuItem::SetItemLabel
+- wxBrush's, wxPen's SetStyle() and GetStyle() as well as the wxBrush/wxPen ctor now take
+ respectively a wxBrushStyle and a wxPenStyle value instead of a plain "int style";
+ use the new wxBrush/wxPen style names (wxBRUSHSTYLE_XXX and wxPENSTYLE_XXX) instead
+ of the old deprecated wxXXX styles (which however are still available).
+- EVT_CALENDAR_DAY event has been deprecated, use EVT_CALENDAR_SEL_CHANGED.
+- EVT_CALENDAR_MONTH and EVT_CALENDAR_YEAR events are deprecated,
+ use EVT_CALENDAR_PAGE_CHANGED which replaces both of them.
+- wxCalendarCtrl::EnableYearChange() and wxCAL_NO_YEAR_CHANGE are deprecated.
