+- MSVC projects don't include neither wxUniversal nor ANSI (non-Unicode)
+  configurations any more. The simplest way to build wxWidgets in these
+  configurations if you need them is to use nmake from the command line with
+  WXUNIV=1 or UNICODE=0 command line parameter respectively.
+
+- The manifest is not included by wx/msw/wx.rc any longer for MSVC compiler.
+  If you're using MSVC 6 or 7 which require it, you must explicitly define
+  wxUSE_RC_MANIFEST=1 and also predefine WX_CPU_X86 in the resource compiler
+  options in your project file.

+- The locale is not set automatically on startup any more, unlike in the
+  previous 2.9 versions (but like in 2.8). Use wxLocale (preferred) or call

+  old behaviour.
+- wxWebView::New now takes a string identifier for the backend to be used
+  rather than a wxWebViewBackend enum value.
+- wxWebView identifiers of the form WEB_VIEW_* have been renamed to WEBVIEW_*
+  for consistency with the rest of wxWidgets.
