+ to read _past_ the end of file.
+- wxFileName::DirExists() checks if the path of the file is a directory, not

+- wxDialog::CreateButtonSizer() may return NULL now, please see the manual
+- wxStaticBoxSizer now deletes the associated wxStaticBox when it is deleted
+- Windows calling CaptureMouse() are now required to handle the

+
+Changes in behaviour which may result in compilation errors
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+
- wxFontData::GetColour() now returns a const colour.
- wxDC objects can't be created directly now (this never worked, now it doesn't
even compile).
-- For all wxInputStreams, Eof() becomes true after an attempt has been made
- to read _past_ the end of file.
- wxCHECK family of macros now must be followed by a semicolon.
- wxMBConv::cMB2WC() and cWC2MB() take size of the input buffer and return
length of the converted string in all cases now.
override it.
- wxFontEnumerator::GetFacenames() and GetEncodings() now return arrays and
not pointers to arrays.
-- wxStaticBoxSizer now deletes the associated wxStaticBox when it is deleted.
-- Windows calling CaptureMouse() are now required to handle
- the wxEVT_MOUSE_CAPTURE_LOST event.
- SetDefaultItem() method was moved from wxPanel to wxTopLevelWindow
- wxDialog::OnOK/OnCancel() don't exist any more, use SetAffirmative/EscapeId()
- wxPathList doesn't derive from (deprecated) wxStringList any more

As a consequence, the class interface changed largely.
Code updates, if any are required at all, are easy to accomplish though.
