other platforms in the future), use wxWindow::Navigate() or NavigateIn()
instead.
+- Sizers distribute only the extra space between the stretchable items
+ according to their proportions and not all available space. We believe the
+ new behaviour corresponds better to user expectations but if you did rely
+ on the old behaviour you will have to update your code to set the minimal
+ sizes of the sizer items to be in the same proportion as the items
+ proportions to return to the old behaviour.

Changes in behaviour which may result in compilation errors
-----------------------------------------------------------
in vast majority of cases because of conversion operators, but it can break
code that depends on the result being wxChar.
+- The value returned by wxString::c_str() cannot be casted to non-const char*
+ or wchar_t* anymore. The solution is to use newly added wxString methods
+ char_str() (which returns a buffer convertible to char*) or wchar_str()
+ (which returns a buffer convertible to wchar_t*). These methods are
+ available in wxWidgets 2.8 series beginning with 2.8.4 as well.
