All:
-- wxEvent and its derivatives have their variable members nonpublic now.
- Use the Get/Set accessors (Mart Raudsepp)
+- wxEvent and derived classes don't have public members any more, you must
+ use accessors methods now (Mart Raudsepp)
- new classes for reading and writing ZIP files (M.J.Wetherell)
- large files support for wxFFile (M.J.Wetherell)
- classes in the manual are now cross-referenced (Zbigniew Zagórski)
- Added wxPrintFactory classes so that it is possible to add a new
print system backend at run-time. This was required by the new GNOME
printing stuff in the GTK port.
+- Deprecated print setup dialog.
- Added support to the wxODBC classes for Firebird 1.5 database
- The samples\db sample program now includes an optional example of using a BLOB
datatype (if BLOB support is enabled and supported by the database)
- added wxDynamicLibrary::ListLoaded()

+- wxSystemSettings::GetSystem*() members deprecated and replaced with
+ wxSystemSettings::Get*()
+- wxWindowBase::DoGetBestSize now includes the difference (if any) between
+ the client size and total size of the window. Code that sets the
+ client size using the best size, or that added extra space to sizers
+ to compensate for this bug may need to be changed.
+- Changed calculation of scrolling area to not clip away some bits
+ due to a rounding error.
+- Changed GetVirtualSize() to return client size by default until
+ SetVirtualSize() gets called. From then on it will only return
+ that.
+- Various changes to how wxListCtrl and wxTreeCtrl react to right
+ mouse clicks and left mouse click for starting a drag operation.
+

+- Corrected Input method handler code (for Chinese etc.) and its
+ interaction with wxWidgets' events.
