+- Now wxWidgets at startup in debug builds checks if all wxEvent-derived classes
+  correctly implement the Clone() function, logging a warning if they don't.
+  A correct implementation for MyCustomEventClass::Clone() is simply:

 Deprecated methods and their replacements

 - wxTE_AUTO_SCROLL style is deprecated as it's always on by default anyhow.
 - wxThreadHelper::Create() has been deprecated in favour of wxThreadHelper::CreateThread
   which has a better name for a mix-in class, and allows setting the thread type.

+- wxDos2UnixFilename, wxUnix2DosFilename, wxStripExtension, wxGetTempFileName,
+  wxExpandPath, wxContractPath, wxRealPath, wxCopyAbsolutePath, wxSplitPath
+  were deprecated in favour of wxFileName methods. See docs for more info.
+- global wxPendingEvents and wxPendingEventsLocker objects were removed; now you may use
