+-----------------------------------------------------------

- wxFontData::GetColour() now returns a const colour.
- wxDC objects can't be created directly now (this never worked, now it doesn't
even compile).
-- For all wxInputStreams, Eof() becomes true after an attempt has been made
- 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

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
- wxDialog::OnOK/OnCancel() don't exist any more, use SetAffirmative/EscapeId()
- wxPathList doesn't derive from (deprecated) wxStringList any more

-- wxBufferedDC doesn't inherit from wxMemoryDC any more (but directly from wxDC)
Deprecated methods since 2.6.x and their replacements
- wxDC::BeginDrawing() and wxDC::EndDrawing() deprecated, just don't use them.
