+! wxWindow::m_font and m_backgroundColour/m_foregroundColour are no longer
+  always set, use GetFont(), GetBack/ForegroundColour() to access
+  them, and they will be dynamically determined if necessary.
+
+
+! The Sizers have had some fundamental internal changes in the 2.5.2
+  and 2.5.3 releases intended to make them do more of the "Right
+  Thing" but also be as backwards compatible as possible.  First a bit
+  about how things used to work:
+
+    * The size that a window had when Add()ed to the sizer was assumed
+      to be its minimal size, and that size would always be used by
+      default when calculating layout size and positions, and the
+      sizer itself would keep track of that minimal size.
+
+    * If the window item was Add()ed with the wxADJUST_MINSIZE flag
+      then when layout was calculated the item's GetBestSize would be
+      used to reset the minimal size that the sizer used.
+
+  The main thrust of the new Sizer changes was to make behaviour like
+  wxADJUST_MINSIZE be the default, and also to push the tracking of
+  the minimal size to the window itself (since it knows its own needs)
+  instead of having the sizer take care of it.  Consequently these
+  changes were made:
+
+    * The wxFIXED_MINSIZE flag was added to allow for the old
+      behaviour.  When this flag is used the size a window has when
+      Add()ed to the sizer will be treated as its minimal size and it
+      will not be readjusted on each layout.
+
+    * The min size stored in wxWindow and settable with SetSizeHints or
+      SetMinSize will by default be used by the sizer (if it was set)
+      as the minimal size of the sizer item.  If the minsize was not
+      set (or was only partially set) then the window's best size is
+      fetched and it is used instead of (or blended with) the minsize.
+      wxWindow:GetBestFittingSize was added to facilitate getting the
+      size to be used by the sizers.
+
+    * The best size of a window is cached so it doesn't need to
+      recaculated on every layout.  wxWindow::InvalidateBestSize was
+      added and should be called (usually just internally in control
+      methods) whenever something is done that would make the best
+      size change.
+
+    * All wxControls were changed to set the minsize to what is passed
+      to the constructor or Create method, and also to set the real
+      size of the control to the blending of the minsize and bestsize.
+      wxWindow::SetBestFittingSize was added to help with this,
+      although most controls don't need to call it directly because it
+      is called indirectly via the SetInitialSize called in the base
+      classes.
+
+  At this time, the only situation known not to work the same as
+  before is the following:
+
+    win = new SomeWidget(parent);
+    win->SetSize(SomeNonDefaultSize);
+    sizer->Add(win);
+
+  In this case the old code would have used the new size as the
+  minimum, but now the sizer will use the default size as the minimum
+  rather than the size set later.  It is an easy fix though, just move
+  the specification of the size to the constructor (assuming that
+  SomeWidget will set its minsize there like the rest of the controls
+  do) or call SetMinSize instead of SetSize.
+
+  In order to fit well with this new scheme of things, all wxControls
+  or custom controls should do the following things.  (Depending on
+  how they are used you may also want to do the same thing for
+  non-control custom windows.)
+
+    * Either override or inherit a meaningful DoGetBestSize method
+      that calculates whatever size is "best" for the control.  Once
+      that size is calculated then there should normally be a call to
+      CacheBestSize to save it for later use, unless for some reason
+      you want the best size to be recalculated on every layout.
+
+    * Any method that changes the attributes of the control such that
+      the best size will change should call InvalidateBestSize so it
+      will be recalculated the next time it is needed.
+
+    * The control's constructor and/or Create method should ensure
+      that the minsize is set to the size passed in, and that the
+      control is sized to a blending of the min size and best size.
+      This can be done by calling SetBestFittingSize.

+- wxID_SEPARATOR (id used for the menu separators) value changed from -1 to -2
+- wxGetNumberFromUser() is now in separate wx/numdlg.h, not wx/textdlg.h
+- wxChoice and wxCombobox now handle their size in the same way as in all the
+  other ports under MSW, new code is actually correct but different from weird
+  stuff they were doing before so the behaviour of your programs might change
+- wxTaskBarIcon objects must now be destroyed before the application can exit.
+  Previously, the application terminated if there were no top level windows;
+  now it terminates if there are no top level windows or taskbar icons left.
+- wxZlibInputStream is not by default compatible with the output of the
+  2.4.x version of wxZlibOutputStream. However, there is a compatibilty mode,
+  switched on by passing wxZLIB_24COMPATIBLE to the constructor.
+- when WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_4 == 0 wxHashTable uses a new implementation
+  not using wxList keyed interface (the same used when wxUSE_STL == 1),
+  the only incompatibility being that Next() returns a wxHashTable::Node*
+  instead of a wxNode*.
+- non-const wxDC methods GetBackground(), GetBrush(), GetFont() and GetPen()
+  as well as wxWindow methods GetFont() and GetCursor() don't exist any more,
+  please fix your code -- it never worked correctly anyhow if you modified the
+  objects returned by these methods so you should simply switch to using const
+  methods.
+- wxWindow::GetFont() now returns wxFont object instead of reference
+- EVT_XXX macros are now type-safe; code that uses wrong type for event
+  handler's argument will no longer compile.
+- Identical functionality of wxFileDialog::ParseWildcard,
+  wxGenericDirCtrl::ParseFilter, Motif and MSW parsing native dialogs
+  is now accessible in ::wxParseCommonDialogsFilter
+- wxNotebookSizer and wxBookCtrlSizer are now deprecated -- they are no longer
+  needed, you can treat wxNotebook as any other control and put it directly
+  into the sizer that was wxNotebookSizer's parent sizer in old code.
+- wxFile methods now return wxFileOffset which may be a 64 bit integer type,
+  even on 32 bit platforms, instead of off_t and so the return value of
+  wxFile::Length(), for example, shouldn't be assigned to off_t variable any
+  more (the compiler might warn you about this).
+- wxListItem::m_data is now of type wxUIntPtr, not long, for compatibility
+  with 64 bit systems

+
+
+2.5.2
+-----
+
+All:
+
+- Hindi translation added (Dhananjaya Sharma)
+- Brazilian Portuguese translation added (E. A. Tacao)
+- wxDynamicCast() now uses static_cast<wxObject *> internally and so using it
+  with anything not deriving from wxObject will fail at compile time (instead
+  of run-time) now
+- when wxUSE_STL == 1 and STL provides quasi-standard hash_map/hash_set,
+  wxHashMap/wxHashSet are just typedefs for them. This makes impossible
+  to forward declare these classes.
+
+All (GUI):
+
+- wxHtmlWindow now delays image scaling until rendering,
+  resulting in much better display of scaled images
+- Added UpdateSize to wxSplitterWindow to allow layout while hidden
+- implemented Freeze/Thaw() for wxGenericTreeCtrl (Kevin Hock)
+- support for KOI8-U encoding added (Yuriy Tkachenko)
+- The old wxADJUST_MINSIZE behaviour is now the default behaviour for
+  sizer items that are windows.  This means that GetAdjustedBestSize
+  will now be called by default to determine the minimum size that a
+  window in a sizer should have.  If you want to still use the initial
+  size (and not the BestSize) then use the wxFIXED_MINSIZE flag.  When
+  windows are added to a sizer their initial size is made the window's
+  min size using SetSizeHints, and calls to wxSizer::SetItemMinSize
+  are also forwarded to SetSizeHints for window items.
+- added wxRegEx::GetMatchCount()
+- it is now possible to display images in wxHtmlListBox
+
+wxMSW:
+
+- wxWindow::Freeze()/Thaw() can now be nested
+- Added wxSP_NO_XP_THEME style to wxSplitterWindow to switch off

+- wxRegConf couldn't read global settings without admin privileges and didn't
+  even try to do it by default -- now it does
+- wxTaskBarIcon must be explicitly destroyed now, otherwise the application
+  won't exit even though there are no top level windows
+- wxFileName::GetModificationTime() works with opened files too now
+- wxDC::GetClippingBox() now works even for clipping regions created by Windows
+- fixed wxFileDataObject in Unicode build (Alex D)
+- subdindented paragraphs support (Tim Kosse)
+
+wxGTK:
+
+- added support for wxTE_RIGHT and wxTE_CENTRE styles under GTK2 (Mart Raudsepp)
+
+wxMotif:
+
+- removed wxMenuItem::DeleteSubMenu()
+- wxButtons use Motif default size, which is smaller than it used to be
+  and closer to wxMSW/wxGTK look. This can be disabled by setting
+  motif.largebuttons system option to 1 (see wxSystemOptions).
+
+wxUniv/X11:
