accordingly, to 2.
+- wxLOCALE_CONV_ENCODING flag has no effect now, catalogs are converted
+ regardless of whether the flag was specified or not. This only affects
+ legacy ANSI builds.
+
+- wxNotebook::GetSelection() returns the new page index when called from
+ wxEVT_COMMAND_NOTEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGED event handler in wxMSW, not the old one.
+ The new behaviour is consistent with wxGTK and more logical but different
+ from the previous versions. Using wxNotebookEvent::GetSelection() instead of
+ querying the notebook selection avoids the problem and is recommended.
+
+- wxMSW-specific wxAutomationObject::GetInstance() method now creates a new
+ instance if needed instead of failing if the application providing the
+ requested ProgID is not running. Pass wxAutomationInstance_UseExistingOnly
+ flag to it to revert to the old behaviour. It is also possible to use the
+ wxAutomationInstance_SilentIfNone flag to prevent the error message if no
+ currently running instances of this object are available.

+- Signatures of wxDataViewCustomRenderer::Activate(), LeftClick() and
+ StartDrag() virtual methods changed. You will need to change them in your
+ derived renderer class too if you override them.
+
+- wxThread::Wait() and wxThread::Delete() used to dispatch the events while
+ waiting for the thread to exit in wxMSW. They still do it in default build
+ with WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_8 defined but won't dispatch any events, i.e. the
+ default wait mode will become wxTHREAD_WAIT_BLOCK in the next wxWidgets
+ release so you are strongly encouraged to upgrade your code to stop relying
+ on this behaviour.
+
+- wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK events are not generated any more if the mouse is captured to
+ prevent the parent wxTopLevelWindow from interfering with the keyboard

Changes in behaviour which may result in compilation errors
-----------------------------------------------------------
- Virtual wxHtmlParser::AddText() takes wxString, not wxChar*, argument now.
-- Functions that took wxChar* arguments that could by NULL in wxWidgets 2.8
+- Functions that took wxChar* arguments that could be NULL in wxWidgets 2.8
are deprecated and passing NULL to them won't compile anymore, wxEmptyString
must be used instead.
without enclosing parentheses results in warnings from g++ with -Wparentheses,
add parentheses around the if statement body to work around it.
-- wxList::Member() now returns book and not a pointer/iterator. This shouldn't
+- wxList::Member() now returns bool and not a pointer/iterator. This shouldn't
require any changes as it was always meant to be used for checking for the
presence of an element in the list only. If you used it as Find(), simple do
use Find() instead.
just "%" wxLongLongFmtSpec "x", i.e. simply remove wxT() from the strings you
concatenate with it.
+- wxST_MARKUP doesn't exist any more, use wxControl::SetLabelMarkup() instead.
+
Deprecated methods and their replacements
-----------------------------------------
with more expected semantics.
- wxPORTRAIT and wxLANDSCAPE are now elements of wxPrintOrientation enum and
wxPrintData::SetOrientation(int) takes wxPrintOrientation and not int.
-
+- Second parameter of wxSlider::SetTickFreq(int n, int pos) is deprecated,
+ simply remove it from your code and use wxSlider::SetTickFreq(int n) as it
+ was never used anyhow.
