+The wx.Menu methods that add items to a wx.Menu have been modified
+such that they return a reference to the wx.MenuItem that was created.
+Additionally menu items and toolbar items have been modified to
+automatically generate a new ID if -1 is given, similar to using -1
+with window classess.  This means that you can create menu or toolbar
+items and event bindings without having to predefine a unique menu ID,
+although you still can use IDs just like before if you want.  For
+example, these are all equivallent other than ID values::
+
+  1.
+    item = menu.Append(-1, "E&xit", "Terminate the App")

 If you create your own custom event types and EVT_* functions, and you
 want to be able to use them with the Bind method above then you should
 change your EVT_* to be an instance of wxPyEventBinder instead of a
