INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.8.x
================================
+
+ Notice that these changes are described in more details in
+ the "Changes Since wxWidgets 2.8" section of the manual,
+ please read it if the explanation here is too cryptic.
+
+
Unicode-related changes
-----------------------
necessarily allocated consecutively any more. Use GetChildren() to find the
next/previous control sibling instead.
+- Calling wxConfig::Write() with an enum value will fail to compile because
+ wxConfig now tries to convert all unknown types to wxString automatically.
+ The simplest solution is to cast the enum value to int.
+
+- Several wxImage methods which previously had "long bitmaptype" parameters
+ have been changed to accept "wxBitmapType bitmaptype", please use enum
+ wxBitmapType in your code.
Deprecated methods and their replacements
-----------------------------------------
- EVT_CALENDAR_MONTH and EVT_CALENDAR_YEAR events are deprecated,
use EVT_CALENDAR_PAGE_CHANGED which replaces both of them.
- wxCalendarCtrl::EnableYearChange() and wxCAL_NO_YEAR_CHANGE are deprecated.
-
+ There is no replacement for this functionality, it is being dropped as it is
+ not available in native wxCalendarCtrl implementations.
+- wxDC::SetClippingRegion(const wxRegion&) overload is deprecated as it used
+ different convention from the other SetClippingRegion() overloads: wxRegion
+ passed to it was interpreted in physical, not logical, coordinates. Replace
+ it with SetDeviceClippingRegion() if this was the correct thing to do in your
+ code.
+- wxTE_AUTO_SCROLL style is deprecated as it's always on by default anyhow.
Major new features in this release
wxQueueEvent() replacing wxPostEvent().

now thread-safe if the standard library provided with your compiler is.
