need to update your code if you access these files directly.

- wxWindow::IsEnabled() now returns false if a window parent (and not
necessarily the window itself) is disabled, new function IsThisEnabled()
with the same behaviour as old IsEnabled() was added.

+- Custom log targets should be updated to override wxLog::DoLogRecord() method

+- Confusing wxGridSizer(int cols, int vgap = 0, int hgap = 0) ctor which was
+ easy to mistake for wxGridSizer(int rows, int cols) overload was removed, you
+ will need to specify both vertical and horizontal gap if you want to use this

+- wxBoxSizer::AddSpacer(x) now adds space in the direction of the sizer only
+ and not in both this and the orthogonal directions. This behaviour is what

Changes in behaviour which may result in compilation errors
-----------------------------------------------------------
references have been removed, modifying the returned bitmaps never worked and
now results in compile-time error.
+- wxLogXXX() are now macros, not functions. Because of this calling them with
+ an explicit scope resolution operator ("::wxLogError()") doesn't work any
+ longer, just remove it. Also notice that using them inside an "if" statement
+ without enclosing parentheses results in warnings from g++ with -Wparentheses,
+ add parentheses around the if statement body to work around it.
+
