 - wxWindow::IsEnabled() now returns false if a window parent (and not
   necessarily the window itself) is disabled, new function IsThisEnabled()

+- wxBoxSizer::AddSpacer(x) now adds space in the direction of the sizer only
+  and not in both this and the orthogonal directions. This behaviour is what
+  most of the people expect but if you really relied on this overload adding
+  space in both directions you should change your code to use AddSpacer(x, x).
+
+- wxTextCtrl::LoadFile no longer sends a text update event.
+
+- wxXmlDocument::Save()'s indentstep argument's interpretation was fixed
+  to match the documentation: it now really is the number of spaces in
+  indentation instead of being its double. Its default value was changed
+  accordingly, to 2.
