-wxWidgets 2.5/2.6 Change Log
-----------------------------
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+                             wxWidgets Change Log
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.4.x
+INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES SINCE 2.8.x
 ================================
 
-    Please take a few minutes to read the following list, especially
-    paying attention to the most important changes which are marked
-    with '!' in the first column.
 
-    Also please note that you should ensure that WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_4
-    is defined to 1 if you wish to retain maximal compatibility with 2.4
-    series.
-
-! windows are no longer fully repainted when resized, use new style
-  wxFULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE to force this (wxNO_FULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE stll
-  exists but doesn't do anything any more, this behaviour is default now)
-
-
-- no initialization/cleanup can be done in wxApp/~wxApp because they are
-  now called much earlier/later than before; please move any exiting code
-  from there to wxApp::OnInit()/OnExit()
-- also, OnExit() is not called if OnInit() fails
-- finally the program exit code is OnRun() return value, not OnExit() one
-- wxTheApp can't be assigned to any longer, use wxApp::SetInstance() instead
-- wxFileType::GetIcon() returns wxIconLocation, not wxIcon
-- wxColourDatabase is not a wxList any more, use AddColour to add new colours
-- wxWindow::Clear() is now called ClearBackground()
-- pointer returned by wxFont::GetNativeFontInfo() must not be deleted now
-- wxMouseEvent::Moving() doesn't return true if mouse is being dragged any more
-- (most) controls now inherit parents colours by default, override
-  ShouldInheritColours() to return false if you don't want this to happen
-- wxApp::SendIdleEvent() now takes 2 arguments
-- wxTabView::GetLayers() changed return type from wxList& to wxTabLayerList&
-  (when WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_4 == 0)
-- wxID_SEPARATOR (id used for the menu separators) value changed from -1 to -2
-- wxGetNumberFromUser() is now in separate wx/numdlg.h, not wx/textdlg.h
-- wxChoice and wxCombobox now handle their size in the same way as in all the
-  other ports under MSW, new code is actually correct but different from weird
-  stuff they were doing before so the behaviour of your programs might change
-- wxTaskBarIcon objects must now be destroyed before the application can exit.
-  Previously, the application terminated if there were no top level windows;
-  now it terminates if there are no top level windows or taskbar icons left.
-- wxZlibInputStream is not by default compatible with the output of the
-  2.4.x version of wxZlibOutputStream. However, there is a compatibilty mode,
-  switched on by passing wxZLIB_24COMPATIBLE to the constructor.
-- when WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_4 == 0 wxHashTable uses a new implementation
-  not using wxList keyed interface (the same used when wxUSE_STL == 1),
-  the only incompatibility being that Next() returns a wxHashTable::Node*
-  instead of a wxNode*.
-
-wxTaskBarIcon must be explicitly destroyed now, otherwise the application
-  won't exit even though there are no top level windows
+        Notice that these changes are described in more details in
+        the "Changes Since wxWidgets 2.8" section of the manual,
+        please read it if the explanation here is too cryptic.
 
 
-DEPRECATED METHODS SINCE 2.4.x
-==============================
-
-Deprecated methods may still be used but will disappear in future wxWidgets
-versions, please update your code to not use them.
-

-  and not long, please change declarations of "cookie"s in your code
-  accordingly -- otherwise your code won't work on 64 bit platforms
-- [MSW only] wxWindow::GetUseCtl3D(), GetTransparentBackground() and
-             SetTransparent() as well as wxNO_3D and wxUSER_COLOURS styles
-- wxList keyed interface: use wxHashMap instead
-- wxColourDatabase::FindColour(): use Find() instead (NB: different ret type)
-- wxHashTable::Next: use wxHashTable::Node* or
-                     wxHashTable::compatibility_iterator to store the return
-                     value
-- wxWave class; use wxSound instead
+Unicode-related changes
+-----------------------
 
+The biggest changes in wxWidgets 3.0 are the changes due to the merge of the
+old ANSI and Unicode build modes in a single build. See the Unicode overview
+in the manual for more details but here are the most important incompatible
+changes:
+
+- Many wxWidgets functions taking "const wxChar *" have been changed to take
+  either "const wxString&" (so that they accept both Unicode and ANSI strings;
+  the argument can't be NULL anymore in this case) or "const char *" (if the
+  strings are always ANSI; may still be NULL). This change is normally
+  backwards compatible except:
+
+  a) Virtual functions: derived classes versions must be modified to take
+     "const wxString&" as well to make sure that they continue to override the
+     base class version.
+
+  b) Passing NULL as argument: as NULL can't be unambiguously converted to
+     wxString, in many cases code using it won't compile any more and NULL
+     should be replaced with an empty string.
+
+- Functions returning "const wxChar *" were changed as well. Mostly they now
+  return wxString which is then transparently convertible to either "const char
+  *" or "const wchar_t *" but in some cases, notably wxDateTime::ParseXXX(),
+  the returned string could be NULL and so a separate helper class is used. If
+  you obtain compilation errors because of this, you can always correct them by
+  explicitly assigning the function return value to a variable of wanted type.
+  A slightly more intrusive but better solution is to use ParseXXX() version
+  with wxString::const_iterator output parameter which simply returns bool to
+  indicate the parsing success.
+
+- Some structure fields which used to be of type "const wxChar *" (such as
+  wxCmdLineEntryDesc::shortName, longName and description fields) are now of
+  type "const char *", you need to remove wxT() or _T() around the values used
+  to initialize them (which should normally always be ASCII). If you want your
+  code to remain compatible with Unicode build of previous wx version, please
+  use the special wxT_2, which is the same as wxT in 2.x only, instead.
+
+- wxIPC classes didn't work correctly in Unicode build before, this was fixed
+  but at a price of breaking backwards compatibility: many methods which used
+  to work with "wxChar *" before use "void *" now (some int parameters were
+  also changed to size_t). While wxIPC_TEXT can still be used to transfer 7
+  bit text, the new wxIPC_UTF8TEXT format is used for transferring wxStrings.
+  Also notice that connection classes should change the parameter types of
+  their overridden OnExecute() or override a more convenient OnExec() instead.
+
+
+wxODBC and contrib libraries removal
+------------------------------------
+
+wxODBC library was unmaintained since several years and we couldn't continue
+supporting it any longer so it was removed. Please use any of the other open
+source ODBC libraries in the future projects.
+
+Also the "applet", "deprecated", "fl", "mmedia" and "plot" contrib libraries
+were removed as they were unmaintained and broken since several years.
+The "gizmos", "ogl", "net" and "foldbar" contribs have been moved to
+wxCode (see http://wxcode.sourceforge.net/complist.php); they are now
+open for further development by volunteers.
+
+The "stc" and "svg" contribs instead have been moved respectively into a new
+"official" library stc and in the core lib.
+
+
+Changes in behaviour not resulting in compilation errors, please read this!
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+- Default location of wxFileConfig files has changed under Windows, you will
+  need to update your code if you access these files directly.
+
+- wxWindow::IsEnabled() now returns false if a window parent (and not
+  necessarily the window itself) is disabled, new function IsThisEnabled()
+  with the same behaviour as old IsEnabled() was added.
+
+- Generating wxNavigationKeyEvent events doesn't work any more under wxGTK (and
+  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.
+
+- 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!
+
+- wxWindow::Freeze/Thaw() are not virtual any more, if you overrode them in
+  your code you need to override DoFreeze/DoThaw() instead now.
+
+- 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.
+
+- wxDialogs get wxEVT_SIZE events immediately after creation in wxMSW, as with
+  wxFrames. This means that this event handler may be called earlier than in
+  2.8, check that all the controls are initialized before using them in it.
+
+- 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. It is also possible to use the
+  wxAutomationInstance_SilentIfNone flag to prevent the error message if no
+  currently running instances of this object are available.
+
+- Signature of wxDataViewCustomRenderer::StartDrag() virtual method changed.
+  You will need to change it in your derived renderer class too if you override
+  it.
+
+- wxDataViewCustomRenderer::Activate() and LeftClick() were replaced with the
+  new ActivateCell() method. You will need to change it in your derived
+  renderer class accordingly.
+
+- wxThread::Wait() and wxThread::Delete() used to dispatch the events while
+  waiting for the thread to exit in wxMSW. They still do it in default build
+  with WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_8 defined but won't dispatch any events, i.e. the
+  default wait mode will become wxTHREAD_WAIT_BLOCK in the next wxWidgets
+  release so you are strongly encouraged to upgrade your code to stop relying
+  on this behaviour.
+
+- wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK events are not generated any more if the mouse is captured to
+  prevent the parent wxTopLevelWindow from interfering with the keyboard
+  handling of the window that captured the mouse.
+
+- wxDataViewCtrl::GetSelection() now returns invalid item in all ports (this
+  behaved differently in wxMSW and wxGTK/wxOSX before) if more than one item
+  is selected in a control with wxDV_MULTIPLE style.
+
+- wxEVT_COMMAND_MENU_SELECTED, MENU_OPEN and CLOSE events returned a menu from
+  GetEventObject() in all ports but the frame the menu was attached to in wxMSW.
+  Now all ports return the menu that was opened or closed as the event object.
+
+
+Changes in behaviour which may result in compilation errors
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+- WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_4 doesn't exist any more, please update your code if
+  you still relied on features deprecated since version 2.4
+
+- WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_6 still exists but is 0 by default in this release and
+  will be removed in 3.2. You can set it to 1 and rebuild wxWidgets to access
+  the old and deprecated symbols but please consider updating your code
+  instead. Here are replacements for some of the obsolete symbols:
+   + wxSAVE and wxOPEN -> wxFD_SAVE and wxFD_OPEN
+   + WXK_PRIOR and WXK_NEXT -> WXK_PAGEUP and WXK_PAGEDOWN
+   + wxRESIZE_BOX -> wxMAXIMIZE_BOX
+   + wxTHICK_FRAME -> wxRESIZE_BORDER
+   + wxPROCESS_ENTER and wxPASSWORD -> wxTE_PROCESS_ENTER and wxTE_PASSWORD
+   + EVT_SCROLL_ENDSCROLL -> EVT_SCROLL_CHANGED
+   + NewControlId -> wxWindow::NewControlId()
+   + wxFileHistory::GetNoHistoryFiles() -> wxFileHistory::GetCount()
+   + wxSizerItem::SetOption() -> wxSizerItem::SetProportion()
+   + wxSizer::Remove(wxWindow*) -> wxSizer::Detach()
+
+- wxDC classes hierarchy has changed, if you derived any classes from wxDC you
+  need to review them as wxDC doesn't have any virtual methods any longer and
+  uses delegation instead of inheritance to present different behaviours.
+
+- wxWindow::ProcessEvent() (and other wxEvtHandler methods inherited by wxWindow)
+  has been made protected to prevent wrongly using it instead of correct
+  GetEventHandler()->ProcessEvent().
+  New ProcessWindowEvent() was added for convenience.
+
+- Return type of wxString::operator[] and wxString::iterator::operator* is no
+  longer wxChar (i.e. char or wchar_t), but wxUniChar. This is not a problem
+  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.
+
+- The value returned by wxString::operator[] or wxString::iterator cannot be
+  used in switch statements anymore, because it's a class instance. Code like
+  this won't compile:
+     switch (str[i]) { ... }
+  and has to be replaced with this:
+     switch (str[i].GetValue()) { ... }
+
+- Return type of wxString::c_str() is now a helper wxCStrData struct and not
+  const wxChar*. wxCStrData is implicitly convertible to both "const char *"
+  and "const wchar_t *", so this only presents a problem if the compiler cannot
+  apply the conversion. This can happen in 2 cases:
+
+  + There is an ambiguity because the function being called is overloaded to
+    take both "const char *" and "const wchar_t *" as the compiler can't choose
+    between them. In this case you may use s.wx_str() to call the function
+    matching the current build (Unicode or not) or s.mb_str() or s.wc_str() to
+    explicitly select narrow or wide version of it.
+
+    Notice that such functions are normally not very common but unfortunately
+    Microsoft decided to extend their STL with standard-incompatible overloads
+    of some functions accepting "const wchar_t *" so you may need to replace
+    some occurrences of c_str() with wx_str() when using MSVC 8 or later.
+
+  + Some compilers, notably Borland C++ and DigitalMars, don't correctly
+    convert operator?: operands to the same type and fail with compilation
+    error instead. This can be worked around by explicitly casting to const
+    wxChar*: wxLogError(_("error: %s"), !err.empty() ? (const wxChar*)err.c_str() : "")
+
+- wxDateTime::ParseXXX() overloads don't return anything when called with
+  wxCStrData argument. If you need to test the parsing success, use a newer
+  overload taking wxString::const_iterator and returning bool or explicitly
+  select a narrow or wide char version to use by casting c_str() to either
+  "char*" or "wchar_t*". Or create a temporary wxString and parse it instead.
+
+- wxCtime() and wxAsctime() return char*; this is incompatible with Unicode
+  build in wxWidgets 2.8 that returned wchar_t*.
+
+- DigitalMars compiler has a bug that prevents it from using
+  wxUniChar::operator bool in conditions and it erroneously reports type
+  conversion ambiguity in expressions such as this:
+     for ( wxString::const_iterator p = s.begin(); *p; ++p )
+  This can be worked around by explicitly casting to bool:
+     for ( wxString::const_iterator p = s.begin(); (bool)*p; ++p )
+
+- Virtual wxHtmlParser::AddText() takes wxString, not wxChar*, argument now.
+
+- Functions that took wxChar* arguments that could be NULL in wxWidgets 2.8
+  are deprecated and passing NULL to them won't compile anymore, wxEmptyString
+  must be used instead.
+
+- wxTmemxxx() functions take either wxChar* or char*, not void*: use memxxx()
+  with void pointers.
+
+- Removed insecure wxGets() and wxTmpnam() functions.
+
+- Removed global GetLine() function from wx/protocol/protocol.h, use
+  wxProtocol::ReadLine() instead.
+
+- wxVariant no longer derives from wxObject. wxVariantData also no longer
+  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 couldn't be
+  implemented correctly any longer because automatically generated ids are not
+  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
+  wxConfig now tries to convert all unknown types to wxString automatically.
+  The simplest solution is to cast the enum value to int.
+
+- Several wxImage methods which previously had "long bitmaptype" parameters
+  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.
+
+- wxListCtrlCompare function used with wxListCtrl::SortItems() must now declare
+  its third parameter as wxIntPtr and not long (this allows passing pointers
+  to it under 64 bit platforms too).
+
+- Global wxPendingEvents and wxPendingEventsLocker objects were removed.
+  You may use wxEventLoopBase::SuspendProcessingOfPendingEvents instead of
+  locking wxPendingEventsLocker now.
+
+- wxBitmapButton::GetBitmapXXX() overloads returning non-const wxBitmap
+  references have been removed, modifying the returned bitmaps never worked and
+  now results in compile-time error.
+
+- wxLogXXX() are now macros, not functions. Because of this calling them with
+  an explicit scope resolution operator ("::wxLogError()") doesn't work any
+  longer, just remove it. Also notice that using them inside an "if" statement
+  without enclosing parentheses results in warnings from g++ with -Wparentheses,
+  add parentheses around the if statement body to work around it.
+
+- wxList::Member() now returns bool and not a pointer/iterator. This shouldn't
+  require any changes as it was always meant to be used for checking for the
+  presence of an element in the list only. If you used it as Find(), simple do
+  use Find() instead.
+
+- wxLongLongFmtSpec is now a normal and not wide string so you will need to
+  change expressions of the form wxT("%") wxLongLongFmtSpec wxT("x") to
+  just "%" wxLongLongFmtSpec "x", i.e. simply remove wxT() from the strings you
+  concatenate with it.
+
+- wxST_MARKUP doesn't exist any more, use wxControl::SetLabelMarkup() instead.
+
+- wxComboBox::IsEmpty(), which was previously available in some ports (but not
+  wxMSW), doesn't exist any more, use either IsListEmpty() or IsTextEmpty().
+
+- wxSingleChoiceDialog ctors and Create() now have 2 overloaded versions: one
+  taking void** client data and the deprecated one taking char**. This can
+  result in compilation errors due to an ambiguity between them if you pass
+  NULL as client data. To fix this, cast NULL explicitly to "void**".
+
+- wxChoicebookEvent, wxListbookEvent, wxNotebookEvent, wxToolbookEvent and
+  wxTreebookEvent are now all synonyms for wxBookCtrlEvent. The existing code
+  using the old names continues to work but they can't be forward-declared
+  any more. Use wxBookCtrlEvent in your code if you need to forward-declare
+  it or just include the appropriate header instead of forward declaration.
+
+
+Deprecated methods and their replacements
+-----------------------------------------
+
+- wxCreateGreyedImage() deprecated, use wxImage::ConvertToGreyscale() instead.
+- wxString::GetWriteBuf() and UngetWriteBuf() deprecated, using wxStringBuffer
+  or wxStringBufferLength instead.
+- wxDIRCTRL_SHOW_FILTERS style is deprecated, filters are alwsys shown if
+  specified so this style should simply be removed
+- wxDocManager::MakeDefaultName() replaced by MakeNewDocumentName() and
+  wxDocument::GetPrintableName() with GetUserReadableName() which are simpler
+  to use
+- wxXmlProperty class was renamed to wxXmlAttribute in order to use standard
+  terminology. Corresponding wxXmlNode methods were renamed to use
+  "Attribute" instead of "Property" or "Prop" in their names.
+- wxConnection::OnExecute() is not formally deprecated yet but new code should
+  use simpler OnExec() version which is called with wxString argument
+- Various wxMenuItem methods were deprecated in favour of more consisently
+  named new versions:
+    . GetLabel() is now GetItemLabelText()
+    . GetText() is not GetItemLabel()
+    . GetLabelFromText() is now GetLabelText()
+    . SetText() is now SetItemLabel()
+- wxBrush's, wxPen's SetStyle() and GetStyle() as well as the wxBrush/wxPen
+  ctor now take respectively a wxBrushStyle and a wxPenStyle value instead of a
+  plain "int style"; use the new wxBrush/wxPen style names (wxBRUSHSTYLE_XXX
+  and wxPENSTYLE_XXX) instead of the old deprecated wxXXX styles.
+- EVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGE was deprecated, use EVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGED instead if you
+  don't veto the event in its handler and EVT_GRID_CELL_CHANGING if you do.
+- EVT_CALENDAR_DAY event has been deprecated, use EVT_CALENDAR_SEL_CHANGED.
+- EVT_CALENDAR_MONTH and EVT_CALENDAR_YEAR events are deprecated,
+  use EVT_CALENDAR_PAGE_CHANGED which replaces both of them.
+- wxCalendarCtrl::EnableYearChange() and wxCAL_NO_YEAR_CHANGE are deprecated.
+  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
+  different convention from the other SetClippingRegion() overloads: wxRegion
+  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.
+- wxThreadHelper::Create() has been renamed to 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.
+- wxEvtHandler::TryValidator/Parent() are deprecated, override the new and
+  documented TryBefore/After() methods if you used to override these ones.
+- wxGetMultipleChoices() is deprecated, use wxGetSelectedChoices() which has
+  the same signature but returns -1 and not 0 if the dialog was cancelled.
+- building the windows which are placed inside wxStaticBoxes as siblings of the
+  wxStaticBox is still allowed but it's deprecated as it gives some problems
+  on some ports (e.g. wxGTK).
+  You should now create windows placed inside a wxStaticBox as children of
+  the static box itself.
+- wxMouseState::{Left,Middle,Right}Down() were renamed to XXXIsDown() for
+  consistency with wxMouseEvent and the old names were deprecated.
+- wxFont::SetNoAntiAliasing() was deprecated, it never really worked in most
+  ports and was always marked as "experimental" API. It will be replaced with
+  wxDC-level anti-aliasing control in the future.
+- wxValidator::SetBellOnError() incorrectly interpreted its argument (it
+  disabled the bell when it was true) and was replaced by SuppressBellOnError()
+  with more expected semantics.
+- wxPORTRAIT and wxLANDSCAPE are now elements of wxPrintOrientation enum and
+  wxPrintData::SetOrientation(int) takes wxPrintOrientation and not int.
+- Second parameter of wxSlider::SetTickFreq(int n, int pos) is deprecated,
+  simply remove it from your code and use wxSlider::SetTickFreq(int n) as it
+  was never used anyhow.
+- wxSingleChoiceDialog ctor and Create() take "void**" client data pointer
+  instead of "char**". As the client data is typically untyped, you should
+  simply remove the casts to "char**" which you probably have in your code if
+  you use these functions.
+- wxDataViewCtrl::StartEditor(item, n) taking column index is now deprecated,
+  use EditItem(item, GetColumn(n)), which takes the column itself, instead.
+- wxWindow::MakeModal() is deprecated, use wxDialog::ShowModal() instead if
+  possible or wxWindowDisabler otherwise.
+
+
+Changes in behaviour visible to end users
+-----------------------------------------
+
+- In wxMSW wxSpinCtrl used to prevent the user from entering more digits than
+  could fit in its visible area. This was inconsistent with the other ports and
+  now the control scrolls if too much text is added.
+
+
+Major new features in this release
+----------------------------------
+
+- wxWidgets is now always built with Unicode support but provides the same
+  simple (i.e. "char *"-tolerant) API as was available in ANSI build in the
+  past.
+
+- wxWidgets may now use either wchar_t (UTF-16/32) or UTF-8 internally,
+  depending on what is optimal for the target platform.
+
+- New propgrid library containing wxPropertyGrid and related classes.
+
+- new ribbon library for advanced toolbars.
+
+- Many enhancements to wxDataViewCtrl.
+
+- Event loops, timers and sockets can now be used in wxBase, without GUI.
+
+- Events can now be connected to any functor, not necessarily a method of
+  wxEvtHandler-derived class. The compile-time safety was also improved.
+
+- 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
+  definition &c). Any reports about inaccuracies in the documentation are
+  welcome (and due to using the simple Doxygen syntax it is now easier than
+  ever to submit patches correcting them! :-)
+
+- Support for persistent objects automatically saving and restoring their state
+  was added.
+
+
