Detailed Changelog:
All:

All (GUI):

wxMSW:
- Fixed erroneous selection of content in wxComboBox when within a wxStaticBox
(checking for selection caused by WM_STYLECHANGED).
- Added deferred positioning to wxRadioBox, wxSlider and wxSpinCtrl and thereby
eliminated some refresh glitches when resizing.
- Eliminated further refresh glitches caused by wxRadioBox (to nearby controls)
by refreshing parent when the radio box moves.
- Added ability set the system option "msw.staticbox.optimized-paint" to 0 to
allow a panel to paint graphics around controls within a static box.
- Refresh exposed areas when resizing, using WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGED.
- Worked around an apparent bug in deferred window positioning (moving a
window from (x, y) to (a, b) and back to (x, y) misses the last step) by
checking window positions against corresponding sizer state, if any.
- A control's text colour now reflects the system colour setting.
- Fixed wxFileName::GetLongPath() to behave correctly during the first call too.
