 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.8.x

+- Interpretation of font height in pixels parameter has changed in wxFont
+  ctor and SetPixelSize() in wxMSW: it is now used as character height and not
+  the total cell height. If you previously used negative height to explicitly
+  request character height matching, you may now change your code to use
+  positive value (passing negative height still works but is undocumented and
+  deprecated). If you used positive height before you should retest your code
+  to check if the changes correspond to your expectations. And if you do need
+  the old behaviour please contact us at wx-dev to let us know about it!

 - wxCalendarCtrl has native implementation in wxGTK, but it has less features
   than the generic one. The native implementation is used by default, but you
   can still use wxGenericCalendarCtrl instead of wxCalendarCtrl in your code if
   you need the extra features.
 
+- wxDocument::FileHistoryLoad() and wxFileHistory::Load() now take const
+  reference to wxConfigBase argument and not just a reference, please update
+  your code if you overrode these functions and change the functions in the
+  derived classes to use const reference as well.
+
+- Under MSW wxExecute() arguments are now always properly quoted, as under
+  Unix, and so shouldn't contain quotes unless they are part of the argument.
+
+- wxDocument::OnNewDocument() doesn't call OnCloseDocument() any more.
+
+- If you use wxScrolledWindow::SetTargetWindow() you must implement its
+  GetSizeAvailableForScrollTarget() method, please see its documentation for
+  more details.
+
+- Processing of pending events now requires a running event loop.
+  Thus initialization code (e.g. showing a dialog) previously done in wxApp::OnRun()
+  or equivalent function should now be done into wxApp::OnEventLoopEnter().
+  See wxApp::OnEventLoopEnter() and wxApp::OnEventLoopExit() docs for more info.
+
+- wxLoadFileSelector() now allows the user to select existing files only.
+
+- Erase background events are now not generated at all when background style is
+  changed. See the updated wxWindow::SetBackgroundStyle() description in the
+  manual for more details.
+
+- wxTreeCtrl::GetSelection now asserts if the tree has the wxTR_MULTIPLE style.
+  Instead use GetSelections() for multiple items; or if you want only the
+  single item last touched, the new wxTreeCtrl::GetFocusedItem.
+
+- 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
+  class versions of these functions as this won't work any more; please see the
+  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).
+
+- wxTextCtrl::LoadFile no longer sends a text update event.
+
+- wxXmlDocument::Save()'s indentstep argument's interpretation was fixed
+  to match the documentation: it now really is the number of spaces in
+  indentation instead of being its double. Its default value was changed
+  accordingly, to 2.
+
+- wxLOCALE_CONV_ENCODING flag has no effect now, catalogs are converted
+  regardless of whether the flag was specified or not. This only affects
+  legacy ANSI builds.
+
+- wxNotebook::GetSelection() returns the new page index when called from
+  wxEVT_COMMAND_NOTEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGED event handler in wxMSW, not the old one.
+  The new behaviour is consistent with wxGTK and more logical but different
+  from the previous versions. Using wxNotebookEvent::GetSelection() instead of
+  querying the notebook selection avoids the problem and is recommended.
+
+- wxMSW-specific wxAutomationObject::GetInstance() method now creates a new
+  instance if needed instead of failing if the application providing the
+  requested ProgID is not running. Pass wxAutomationInstance_UseExistingOnly
+  flag to it to revert to the old behaviour.

+
+    Notice that such functions are normally not very common but unfortunately

+- wxList::Member() now returns book and not a pointer/iterator. This shouldn't

+  There is no replacement for this functionality, it is being dropped as it is
+  not available in native wxCalendarCtrl implementations.
+- wxDC::SetClippingRegion(const wxRegion&) overload is deprecated as it used

+  passed to it was interpreted in physical, not logical, coordinates. Replace
+  it with SetDeviceClippingRegion() if this was the correct thing to do in your
+  code.
+- wxTE_AUTO_SCROLL style is deprecated as it's always on by default anyhow.

+  consistency with wxMouseEvent and the old names were deprecated.

+  ports and was always marked as "experimental" API. It will be replaced with
+  wxDC-level anti-aliasing control in the future.
