+- 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.

+- 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.
