Changes in behaviour not resulting in compilation errors, please read this!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+- Don't pass wxString::c_str() to vararg functions any more! Due to Unicode
+ changes, c_str() now returns an object and not a simple char pointer, so
+ using it with vararg functions does not work any more. The preferred
+ solution is to use wx-provided equivalents, e.g. wxPrintf() instead of
+ printf() which has the added benefit that you don't need to call c_str()
+ any more and can pass wxString objects directly. If this is impossible,
+ add explicit casts to "const char*" or "const wchar_t*". See wxString
+ documentation for more details.
+
+ Notice that using wxString::c_str() with vararg functions does result in
+ compilation errors with g++ and most other compilers but not MSVC. Try to
+ build your code with g++ to detect all such problems at compile-time.
+
- Default location of wxFileConfig files has changed under Windows, you will
need to update your code if you access these files directly.
it's not the default "x86". E.g. a library built with MSVC 10 for amd64 is
called "wxbase294ud_vc110_amd64.dll" now.
+- MSVC projects don't include neither wxUniversal nor ANSI (non-Unicode)
+ configurations any more. The simplest way to build wxWidgets in these
+ configurations if you need them is to use nmake from the command line with
+ WXUNIV=1 or UNICODE=0 command line parameter respectively.
+
+- The manifest is not included by wx/msw/wx.rc any longer for MSVC compiler.
+ If you're using MSVC 6 or 7 which require it, you must explicitly define
+ wxUSE_RC_MANIFEST=1 and also predefine WX_CPU_X86 in the resource compiler
+ options in your project file.

Major new features in this release
----------------------------------
old behaviour.
- wxWebView::New now takes a string identifier for the backend to be used
rather than a wxWebViewBackend enum value.
+- wxWebView identifiers of the form WEB_VIEW_* have been renamed to WEBVIEW_*
+ for consistency with the rest of wxWidgets.
+- wxFont(int size, wxFontFamily family, int flags) ctor added in 2.9.4 was
+ removed to avoid ambiguities with the other existing ctors and replaced with
+ the new wxFont(wxFontInfo) ctor.
+
All:
+- Provide short synonyms using the same name as event table macros for the
+ event type constants to make using Bind() less verbose. E.g.
+ wxEVT_COMMAND_MENU_SELECTED is now wxEVT_MENU (but the old name remains
+ available for compatibility) (Catalin Raceanu).
