type "const char *", you need to remove wxT() or _T() around the values used
to initialize them (which should normally always be ASCII).
+- wxIPC classes didn't work correctly in Unicode build before, this was fixed
+ but at a price of breaking backwards compatibility: many methods which used
+ to work with "wxChar *" before use "void *" now (some int parameters were
+ also changed to size_t). While wxIPC_TEXT can still be used to transfer 7
+ bit text, the new wxIPC_UTF8TEXT format is used for transferring wxStrings.

+
+wxODBC library removal
+----------------------
+
+wxODBC library was unmaintained since several years and we couldn't continue
+supporting it any longer so it was removed. Please use any of the other open
+source ODBC libraries in the future projects.
Changes in behaviour not resulting in compilation errors, please read this!
- Removed global GetLine() function from wx/protocol/protocol.h, use
wxProtocol::ReadLine() instead.
+
+- wxVariant no longer derives from wxObject. wxVariantData also no longer
+ derives from wxObject; instead of using wxDynamicCast with wxVariantData you
+ can use the macro wxDynamicCastVariantData with the same arguments.
+
+- wxWindow::Next/PrevControlId() don't exist any more as they can't be
+ implemented correctly any longer because automatically generated ids are not
+ necessarily allocated consecutively any more. Use GetChildren() to find the
+ next/previous control sibling instead.
