Maybe you could also make the unicode string changes you want and warn users that they could have problems with it. (My code only uses ASCII, so I don't think it will effect me.)


The code I wrote using wxGlade wouldn’t be affected because we use derived classes. But I have to agree with Udi. +1 to the idea of deprecating the feature before removing it. 


Thanks for all your hard work,
