 changes:

+  ANSI but may be NULL. This change is normally backwards compatible except:
+
+  a) Virtual functions: derived classes versions must be modified to take
+     "const wxString&" as well to make sure that they continue to override the
+     base class version.
+
+  b) Passing NULL as argument: as NULL can't be unambiguously converted to
+     wxString, in many cases code using it won't compile any more and NULL
+     should be replaced with an empty string. The same issue also applies to
+     the structure fields which used to contain "const wxChar *" pointers (such
+     as wxCmdLineEntryDesc::shortName, longName and description fields) and are
+     now wxStrings: empty strings should be assigned to them instead of NULL.
 
-- Some structure fields have been changed from "wxChar *" to "char *" too:
-  e.g. wxCmdLineEntryDesc fields.
