OLD CHANGES
===========
wxMSW:
! build system changed: setup.h is not a static file in include/wx any more
- but is created as part of the build process under lib/<toolkit>/wx/include
+ but is created as part of the build process under lib/<toolkit>/wx
where <toolkit> is of the form (msw|univ)[dll][u][d]. You'll need to update
the include path in your make/project files appropriately. Furthermore,
xpm.lib is no longer used by wxMSW, it was superseded by the wxXPMDecoder
class. You'll need to remove all references to xpm.lib from your
make/project files. Finally, the library names have changed as well and now
- use the following consistent naming convention: wxmsw[u][d][ver].(lib|dll)
+ use the following consistent naming convention: wxmsw[ver][u][d].(lib|dll)
where 'u' appears for Unicode version, 'd' -- for the debug one and version
is only present for the DLLs builds.
