-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.6.x
+INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.8.x
================================
-- wxFontData::GetColour() now returns a const colour.
-- wxDC objects can't be created directly now (this never worked, now it doesn't
- even compile).

- to read _past_ the end of file.
-- wxCHECK family of macros now must be followed by a semicolon.
-- wxMBConv::cMB2WC() and cWC2MB() take size of the input buffer and return
- length of the converted string in all cases now.
-- wxHtmlWindow::OnCellClicked() now returns bool.
-- wxHtmlCell::OnMouseClick() was deprecated and replaced with
- wxHtmlCell::ProcessMouseClick(); old code overriding OnMouseClick() will
- continue to work with WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_6, but should be rewritten to
- use ProcessMouseClick().
-- wxHtmlCell::GetCursor() was deprecated and replaced with
- wxHtmlCell::GetMouseCursor(); old code overriding GetCursor() will
- continue to work with WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_6, but should be rewritten to
- use GetMouseCursor().
-- wxHtmlCell::AdjustPagebreak() signature has changed, update your code if you
- override it.
-- wxFontEnumerator::GetFacenames() and GetEncodings() now return arrays and
- not pointers to arrays.
-- wxStaticBoxSizer now deletes the associated wxStaticBox when it is deleted.
-- Windows calling CaptureMouse() are now required to handle
- the wxEVT_MOUSE_CAPTURE_LOST event.
-- SetDefaultItem() method was moved from wxPanel to wxTopLevelWindow

-- wxPathList doesn't derive from (deprecated) wxStringList any more
-- wxGLContext class has no 1:1 coupling to a wxGLCanvas class any more.
- As a consequence, the class interface changed largely.
- Code updates, if any are required at all, are easy to accomplish though.
-- wxDialog::CreateButtonSizer() may return NULL now, please see the manual
-- wxBufferedDC doesn't inherit from wxMemoryDC any more (but directly from wxDC)
