+- Custom log targets should be updated to override wxLog::DoLogRecord() method
+  instead of DoLog() or DoLogString() and must be updated if they call the base

+  documentation of wxLog for more information.

+- 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
+  overload or specify both rows and columns and the gap otherwise. Use of the
+  new constructors taking wxSize for the gap argument is preferred. The same
+  applies to wxFlexGridSizer as well.

+- 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
+  most of the people expect but if you really relied on this overload adding
+  space in both directions you should change your code to use AddSpacer(x, x).

+- 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,
