 wxWindows 2 Change Log
 ----------------------
 

-2.4.0
+INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.2.x
+================================
+
+All (GUI):
+
+- wxGridCellAttrProvider class API changed, you will need to update your code
+  if you derived any classes from it
+
+wxMSW:
+
+- the event type constants are not constants any more but are dynamically
+  allocated during run-time which means that they can't be used as case labels
+  in the switch()es, you must rewrite them to use if()s instead
+
+  You may also define WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_EVENT_TYPES to get the old behaviour
+  but this is strongly discouraged, please consider changing your codei
+  instead!
+
+- child frames appear in the taskbar by default now, use wxFRAME_NO_TASKBAR
+  style to avoid it, wxFRAME_FLOAT_ON_PARENT style is now obsolete and has no
+  effect
+
+2.3.2
+-----
+
+wxBase:
+
+- wxRegEx class added
+- wxGetDiskSpace() function added (Jonothan Farr, Markus Fieber)
+- more fixes to wxMBConv classes. Conversion to and from wchar_t now works with
+  glibc 2.2 as well as with glibc 2.1. Unix version now checks for iconv()'s
+  capabilities at runtime instead of in the configure script.
+
+All (GUI):
+
+- support for virtual list control added
+- column images in report mode of the list control
+- wxFindReplaceDialog added (based on work of Markus Greither)
+- wxTextCtrl::SetMaxLength() added (wxMSW/wxGTK)
+- polygon support in wxRegion (Klaas Holwerda)
+- wxStreamToTextRedirector to allow easily redirect cout to wxTextCtrl added
+- fixed bug with using wxExecute() to capture huge amounts of output
+
+wxHTML:
