- added versions of MB2WC and WC2MB for wxMBConv that works for embedded null chars
- Unicode support in wxODBC is now fully implemented

  SQL_C_WXCHAR should be used rather than SQL_C_CHAR to ensure transparent
  behavior between Unicode and non-unicode builds

- wxSystemSettings::GetSystem*() members deprecated and replaced with
  wxSystemSettings::Get*()

  to compensate for this bug may need to be changed.
- Changed calculation of scrolling area to not clip away some bits
  due to a rounding error.
- Changed GetVirtualSize() to return client size by default until
  SetVirtualSize() gets called. From then on it will only return that.

  item remembers its wxRect area (Brian A. Vanderburg II)
- wxBookCtrl renamed to wxBookCtrlBase, wxBookCtrl is reserved for most native
  book control (for now wxChoicebook for MSSmartphone, wxNotebook for others).
  Necessary event macros, types and styles mapped accordingly.

  in wxMSW version (Gunnar Roth)
- added wxImage::InitAlpha()

Unix:

- wxPuts() now correctly outputs trailing new line in Unicode build

wxGTK:

- Added printing support by way of using libgnomeprint. The library

  code, from which the Pango drawing code was removed.
- Implemented/improved wxDC::DrawRotatedText()
- fixed wxFileDialog::SetWildcard()
- native file dialog is now used if available (Zbigniew Zagorski)

- Changed calls to GTK+ 2.4.x functions so that the code checks at
  runtime, which library version is installed so that these functions
  are only called with GTK+ 2.4.x installed and should yield linker

2.5.2
-----

All:

- Hindi translation added (Dhananjaya Sharma)
- Brazilian Portuguese translation added (E. A. Tacao)
- wxDynamicCast() now uses static_cast<wxObject *> internally and so using it
  with anything not deriving from wxObject will fail at compile time (instead
  of run-time) now
- when wxUSE_STL == 1 and STL provides quasi-standard hash_map/hash_set,
  wxHashMap/wxHashSet are just typedefs for them. This makes impossible
  to forward declare these classes.

All (GUI):

- wxHtmlWindow now delays image scaling until rendering,
  resulting in much better display of scaled images
- Added UpdateSize to wxSplitterWindow to allow layout while hidden
- implemented Freeze/Thaw() for wxGenericTreeCtrl (Kevin Hock)
- support for KOI8-U encoding added (Yuriy Tkachenko)
- The old wxADJUST_MINSIZE behaviour is now the default behaviour for
  sizer items that are windows.  This means that GetAdjustedBestSize
  will now be called by default to determine the minimum size that a
  window in a sizer should have.  If you want to still use the initial
  size (and not the BestSize) then use the wxFIXED_MINSIZE flag.  When
  windows are added to a sizer their initial size is made the window's
  min size using SetSizeHints, and calls to wxSizer::SetItemMinSize
  are also forwarded to SetSizeHints for window items.
- added wxRegEx::GetMatchCount()
- it is now possible to display images in wxHtmlListBox

wxMSW:

- wxWindow::Freeze()/Thaw() can now be nested

  even try to do it by default -- now it does
- wxTaskBarIcon must be explicitly destroyed now, otherwise the application
  won't exit even though there are no top level windows
- wxFileName::GetModificationTime() works with opened files too now
- wxDC::GetClippingBox() now works even for clipping regions created by Windows
- fixed wxFileDataObject in Unicode build (Alex D)
- subindented paragraphs support (Tim Kosse)

wxGTK:

- added support for wxTE_RIGHT and wxTE_CENTRE styles under GTK2 (Mart Raudsepp)

wxMotif:

- removed wxMenuItem::DeleteSubMenu()
- wxButtons use Motif default size, which is smaller than it used to be
  and closer to wxMSW/wxGTK look. This can be disabled by setting
  motif.largebuttons system option to 1 (see wxSystemOptions).

wxUniv/X11:

- implemented DrawRoundedRectangle() (clawghoul)

wxHTML:

- improved tables and lists layout algorithms (Tim Kosse)
- <div> handling fix (Xavier Nodet)

  huge wxWidgets library; wxBase is now dependency of GUI ports rather then
  separately compiled library
- added wxDateSpan::operator==() and !=() (Lukasz Michalski)
- added wxFileName::GetForbiddenChars() (Dimitri Schoolwerth)
- use true/false throughout the library instead of TRUE/FALSE

  When enabled, wxString will derive from std::string, wxArray from,
  std::vector, wxList from std::list. In addition wxHashTable will be
  implemented in terms of wxHashMap.
- Added wxList::compatibility_iterator. Can be used like wxNode* (except
  it can't be delete()d). It permits writing code which will work
  both with wxUSE_STL==1 and wxUSE_STL==0.

  wxEndsWithPathSeparator(s)
- Added to defs.h a couple of macros (wxPtrToULong & wxULongToPtr)
- Minor improvements to document/view framework, including
  delayed deletion of a document (until after the user has chosen

  the file history, including not adding filenames if not using the
  default extension for the template

- wxWindow::OnInternalIdle is now used in all ports, and ensures that
  user OnIdle events do not interfere with crucial internal processing.
- wxWindow::UpdateWindowUI is now a documented function that
  sends wxUpdateUIEvents, and can be overridden. It has a helper function
  DoUpdateWindowUI for taking appropriate wxUpdateUIEvent action.
- Added functions to wxUpdateUIEvent: Set/GetMode, Set/GetUpdateInterval,
  CanUpdate, to assist with optimising update event frequency.
- Added functions to wxIdleEvent: Set/GetMode, CanSend, to
  determine whether a window should receive idle events.
- Added wxWS_EX_PROCESS_IDLE, wxWS_EX_PROCESS_UI_UPDATES window
  styles for use with conservative idle and update event modes.
- send menu update events only when a menu is about to be used (MSW/GTK)
- improved event processing performance (Hans Van Leemputten)
- added wxMirrorDC class
- printing improvements: GetPageInfo() gets called after the DC has
  been set and after OnPreparePrinting() has been called so it can
  report the number of pages accurately; doesn't try to set
  number of pages in print dialog, in common with other Windows apps;
  wxHTML easy printing's preview shows number of pages
  correctly; preview scrollbars are set correctly; keyboard navigation
  improved
