in vast majority of cases because of conversion operators, but it can break
code that depends on the result being wxChar.
+- The value returned by wxString::c_str() cannot be casted to non-const char*
+ or wchar_t* anymore. The solution is to use newly added wxString methods
+ char_str() (which returns a buffer convertible to char*) or wchar_str()
+ (which returns a buffer convertible to wchar_t*). These methods are
+ available in wxWidgets 2.8 series beginning with 2.8.4 as well.

- The value returned by wxString::operator[] or wxString::iterator cannot be
used in switch statements anymore, because it's a class instance. Code like
this won't compile:
- Native implementation for wxHyperlinkCtrl (Francesco Montorsi)
- Native keyboard navigation implementation
+- Don't overwrite primary selection with clipboard and vice versa
- Implemented support for underlined fonts in wxStaticText.
- wxTopLevelWindow::SetSizeHints size increments now work.
- wxTopLevelWindow::GetSize() returns the size including the WM decorations.
- wxTopLevelWindow::GetClientSize() returns 0x0 when the window is minimized.
- Added support for colour cursors (Pascal Monasse).
- Setting foreground colour of single line wxTextCtrl now works
+- Pass current control text to EVT_TEXT handler for wxSpinCtrl (John Ratliff)
+- Added gtk.tlw.can-set-transparency system option
