   render the SVG directly to a wx.GraphicsContext using the GC's drawing
   primitives. (PR #1323)
 
+* Ported the embedding sample from Classic, which shows how to use wxPython from
+  a C++ wxWidgets application that embeds Python. (PR #1353)
+
+* Fixed wx.GetApp() to use wxWidgets' global wxApp instance instead of 
+  maintaining its own pointer. This way, if the wxApp is created by C++ code
+  wxPython will still be able to get access to it. (#1126)
