* The best size of a window is cached so it doesn't need to

+ recalculated 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.
control is sized to a blending of the min size and best size.
This can be done by calling SetBestFittingSize.
+! wxURL has undergone some radical changes.
+ * Many accessors of wxURL - GetHostName, GetProtocolName, and GetPath,

+ GetScheme, and GetPath, respectively.
+
+ * ConvertToValidURI has been replaced by wxURI. Do not use
+ ConvertToValidURI for future applications.
+ * ConvertFromURI has been replaced by wxURI::Unescape.

- no initialization/cleanup can be done in wxApp/~wxApp because they are
now called much earlier/later than before; please move any exiting code
from there to wxApp::OnInit()/OnExit()
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,
+ 2.4.x version of wxZlibOutputStream. However, there is a compatibility 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),
Deprecated methods may still be used but will disappear in future wxWidgets
versions, please update your code to not use them.
+- wxURL::GetInputStream() and similar functionality has been depreciated in
+ favor of other ways of connecting, such as though sockets or wxFileSystem.
- wxDocManager::GetNoHistoryFiles() renamed to GetHistoryFilesCount()
- wxSizer::Remove(wxWindow *), use Detach() instead [it is more clear]
- wxSizer::Set/GetOption(): use Set/GetProportion() instead
