INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.8.x
================================
+Unicode-related changes
+-----------------------
+
+The biggest changes in wxWidgets 3.0 are the changes due to the merge of the
+old ANSI and Unicode build modes in a single build. See the Unicode overview
+in the manual for more details but here are the most important incompatible
+changes:
+
+- Many wxWidgets functions taking "const wxChar *" have been changed to take
+ either "const wxString&" so that they accept both Unicode and ANSI strings.
+ and the argument can't be NULL or "const char *" if the strings are always
+ ANSI but may be NULL. This change is normally backwards compatible except:
+
+ a) Virtual functions: derived classes versions must be modified to take
+ "const wxString&" as well to make sure that they continue to override the
+ base class version.
+
+ b) Passing NULL as argument: as NULL can't be unambiguously converted to
+ wxString, in many cases code using it won't compile any more and NULL
+ should be replaced with an empty string.
+
+
+
Changes in behaviour not resulting in compilation errors, please read this!
