Changes in behaviour which may result in compilation errors

derives from wxObject; instead of using wxDynamicCast with wxVariantData you
can use the macro wxDynamicCastVariantData with the same arguments.
-- wxWindow::Next/PrevControlId() don't exist any more as they can't be
+- wxWindow::Next/PrevControlId() don't exist any more as they couldn't be
implemented correctly any longer because automatically generated ids are not
- necessarily allocated consecutively any more. Use GetChildren() to find the
+ necessarily allocated consecutively now. Use GetChildren() to find the
next/previous control sibling instead.
- Calling wxConfig::Write() with an enum value will fail to compile because
have been changed to accept "wxBitmapType bitmaptype", please use enum
wxBitmapType in your code.
+- wxGridCellEditor::EndEdit() signature has changed and it was split in two
+ functions, one still called EndEdit() and ApplyEdit(). See the documentation
+ of the new functions for more details about how grid editors should be
+ written now.
+
+- wxEVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGE event renamed to wxEVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGED and shouldn't
+ be vetoed any more, use the new wxEVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGING event to do it.

code.
- 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.

+- Documentation for wxWidgets has been converted from LaTex to C++ headers
+ with Doxygen comments and significantly improved in the process (screenshots
+ of various controls were added, more identifiers are now linked to their
