This is mainly a bug fix release; please see the change log below for
details.

wxWidgets 2.8.11 changes:

*** INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES: ***

   Due to an oversight, a bug fix in wxMSW resulted in an incompatible
change in
   wxTreeCtrl behaviour: its EVT_TREE_ITEM_ACTIVATED handler now must
skip the
   event being processed to allow the item to be toggled by double
clicking on it.
   I.e. you need to ensure there is an "event.Skip()" in your item
activation
   handler if you do wish to allow the item to be toggled.

All:

- Fixed crashes due to invalid input in PNG and TIFF image loaders
(Tielei Wang).
- Fix compilation of wxWidgets headers with recent Sun CC (Brian Cameron).
  NB: If your code uses _T() macro you must either replace it with wxT() to
      use Sun CC or define wxNEEDS__T before including wx headers and avoid
      including many standard headers (again, only with this compiler).
- Added several functions forward compatible with wxWidgets 3.0 (troelsk):
  wxDC::SetDeviceClippingRegion(), wxShowEvent::IsShown(),
  wxIconizeEvent::IsIconized(), wxFileName::StripExtension(),
  wxXmlNode::GetAttribute[s](), wxXmlNode::AddAttribute().
- wxDateTime timezone functions now dynamic (no caching).

All (GUI):

- Add wxBU_EXACTFIT support to wxToggleButton XRC handler (Ronny Krueger).
- wxRTC: fixed AltGr+key input and numeric keypad Delete on Windows.
- wxRTC: added background colour setting to font dialog.
- wxRTC: added wxRICHTEXT_HANDLER_USE_CSS flag for HTML handler to use CSS
  where possible.
- wxRTC: corrected centring and right-justification spacing.
- wxRTC: corrected some problems with SelectAll. Caret is now set to end.
- Paper size conversion from dimensions to id now uses definition ordering
  in order to use common types where there are duplications, fixing problems
  where invalid sizes caused incorrect second invocation of page setup
  dialog.
- Corrected writing direction for Farsi.
- Added wxBORDER_THEME to XRC.
- Speeded up wxTreeCtrl by caching text size (botg).
- Fix building with using system libpng 1.4 (Volker Grabsch).
- Fixed generic wxDatePickerCtrl keyboard navigation.
- Added EVT_WIZARD_PAGE_SHOWN event for wxWizard.

wxMSW:

- Fixed crash when copying Unicode URLs to the clipboard (Tim Kosse).
- Fixed generation of wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK events.
- Implement wxFileName::SetTimes() for directories (Steve Lamerton).
- Correct wxTopLevelWindow::SetShape() for windows with menu bar (Peter
Friis).
- Backported speed-up of Vaclav Slavik's high quality print preview
speed-up.
  You now need to set wxUSE_HIGH_QUALITY_PREVIEW_IN_WXMSW in
  src/common/prntbase.cpp and wxUSE_ENH_METAFILE_FROM_DC in
  include/wx/msw/enhmeta.h.
- Worked around child window and caret positioning bug (in Windows) when
using
  wxBORDER_THEME in a container window.
- Suppressed spurious character event for decimal key in numeric keypad.
- Prevented wxCheckListBox from corrupting menu items.

wxGTK:

- Don't access a possibly destroyed timer object from GTK callback (Tim
Kosse).

wxMac:

- Fixed a problem with wxListCtrl whereby event processing would change
  the event object identifier, and thereby affect subsequent processing,
  and defeat custom event propagation of commands from current focus window.
- Fixed a problem with wxFontDialog on Mac OS 10.6.
