- no initialization/cleanup can be done in wxApp/~wxApp because they are

from there to wxApp::OnInit()/OnExit()
+- wxTheApp can't be assigned to any longer, use wxApp::SetInstance() instead
- wxFileType::GetIcon() returns wxIconLocation, not wxIcon

+ SetTransparent() as well as wxNO_3D and wxUSER_COLOURS styles

+- Moved wxApp::SendIdleEvents and wxApp::ProcessIdle into common code.
+- wxWindow::OnInternalIdle is now used in all ports, and ensures that
+ user OnIdle events do not interfere with crucial internal processing.
+- wxWindow::UpdateWindowUI is now a documented function that
+ sends wxUpdateUIEvents, and can be overridden. It has a helper function
+ DoUpdateWindowUI for taking appropriate wxUpdateUIEvent action.
+- Added functions to wxUpdateUIEvent: Set/GetMode, Set/GetUpdateInterval,
+ CanUpdate, to assist with optimising update event frequency.
+- Added functions to wxIdleEvent: Set/GetMode, CanSend, to
+ determine whether a window should receive idle events.
+- Added wxWS_EX_PROCESS_IDLE, wxWS_EX_PROCESS_UI_UPDATES window
+ styles for use with conservative idle and update event modes.
+- send menu update events only when a menu is about to be used (MSW/GTK)
+- improved event processing performance (Hans Van Leemputten)
+- added wxMirrorDC class
+- printing improvements: GetPageInfo() gets called after the DC has
+ been set and after OnPreparePrinting() has been called so it can
+ report the number of pages accurately; doesn't try to set
+ number of pages in print dialog, in common with other Windows apps;
+ wxHTML easy printing's preview shows number of pages
+ correctly; preview scrollbars are set correctly; keyboard navigation
+ improved
