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
----------------------------------
2.9.5: (released ????-??-??)
----------------------------
+INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.9.4:
+
+- The locale is not set automatically on startup any more, unlike in the
+ previous 2.9 versions (but like in 2.8). Use wxLocale (preferred) or call
+ wxApp::SetCLocale() from your overridden wxApp::Initialize() to restore the
+ 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.
+
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).
