+2.8.9
+-----
+
+All:
+
+- Optimize wxString::Replace() for single character arguments.
+- Updated Hindi translation (Priyank Bolia).
+- Use tr1::unordered_{map,set} for wxHash{Map,Set} implementation if available
+ in STL build; in particular do not use deprecated hash_{map,set} which
+ results in a lot of warnings from newer g++ (Jan Van Dijk and Pete Stieber).
+
+All (GUI):
+
+- Added support for reading alpha channel in BMP format (Kevin Wright).
+- Fixed help viewer bug whereby the splitter sash in wxHtmlHelpWindow could
+ go underneath the left-hand pane, permanently, after resizing the
+ help window.
+- Fixed wxHTML default font size for printing to be 12pt regardless of the
+ platform, instead of depending on GUI toolkit's screen configuration.
+- Support wxDP_ALLOWNONE style in generic wxDatePickerCtrl version.
+- Set wxKeyEvent::m_uniChar correctly in the events generated by generic
+ wxListCtrl (Mikkel S).
+- Fix changing size of merged cells in wxGrid (Laurent Humbertclaude).
+- Fixed wrapping bug in wxRichTextCtrl when there were images present;
+ now sets the cursor to the next line after pressing Shift+Enter.
+- Fixed Cmd+Back, Cmd+Del word deletion behaviour in wxRichTextCtrl.
+- Fix crash when reading malformed PCX images.
+- Fix bug with wrong transparency in GIF animations (troelsk).
+- Store palette information for XPM images in wxImage (troelsk).

+ and mouse-down events
+- wxAUI: added various NULL-ptr asserts.
+- Fixed problem with Floatable(false) not working in wxAuiFrameManager.
+- Fixed maximize bug in wxAUI.
+- Allow period in link anchors in wxHTML.
+- Fixed memory corruption in wxHTML when parsing "&;" in the markup.
+- Fixed event type in EVT_GRID_CMD_COL_MOVE and EVT_GRID_COL_MOVE.
+- wxGrid doesn't steal focus when hiding editor any more (Tom Eckert).
+
+All (Unix):
+
+- MIME types reading fixed when running under GNOME, reading .desktop
+ files and also the default application list.
+- Added filesys.no-mimetypesmanager system option so that applications that
+ must load an XRC file at program startup don't have to incur the
+ mime types manager initialization penalty.
+
+wxMSW:
+
+- Potentially incompatible change: wxExecute() arguments are now quoted if they
+ contain spaces and existing quotes are escaped with a backslash. However, to
+ preserve compatibility, the argument is unchanged if it is already quoted.
+ Notice that this behaviour will change in wxWidgets 3.0 where all arguments
+ will be quoted, please update your code now if you are affected and use only
+ wxWidgets 2.8.9 or later.

+ was invalid.
