      wxString, in many cases code using it won't compile any more and NULL
      should be replaced with an empty string.
 

+- Functions returning "const wxChar *" were changed as well. Mostly they now
+  return wxString which is then transparently convertible to either "const char
+  *" or "const wchar_t *" but in some cases, notably wxDateTime::ParseXXX(),
+  the returned string could be NULL and so a separate helper class is used. If
+  you obtain compilation errors because of this, you can always correct them by
+  explicitly assigning the function return value to a variable of wanted type.
+  A slightly more intrusive but better solution is to use ParseXXX() version
+  with wxString::const_iterator output parameter which simply returns bool to
+  indicate the parsing success.

+- Erase background events are now not generated at all when background style is

+- wxTreeCtrl::GetSelection now asserts if the tree has the wxTR_MULTIPLE style.

+  single item last touched, the new wxTreeCtrl::GetFocusedItem.
+
+- Custom log targets should be updated to override wxLog::DoLogRecord() method

+- wxBitmapButton::GetBitmapXXX() overloads returning non-const wxBitmap
+  references have been removed, modifying the returned bitmaps never worked and

+
+- wxLogXXX() are now macros, not functions. Because of this calling them with
+  an explicit scope resolution operator ("::wxLogError()") doesn't work any
+  longer, just remove it. Also notice that using them inside an "if" statement
+  without enclosing parentheses results in warnings from g++ with -Wparentheses,
+  add parentheses around the if statement body to work around it.

+- building the windows which are placed inside wxStaticBoxes as siblings of the
