This page represents current thinking about where wxWindows is going in the near, 
medium and long-term. It also serves as a schedule for new releases so
that both developers and users can know what to expect when, at least approximately.<P>

Note (1): as the wxWindows effort is voluntary, these are not hard-and-fast deadlines:
but we will endeavour to follow them as closely as possible.<P>

Note (2): the releases described are for wxGTK, wxMSW and wxMotif ports. wxMac currently follows
its own development path. Also, minor snapshot releases for specific platforms may be
available at dates convenient to the developers.<P>

<ul>
<li>Release date: November 7th, 1999

<li>wxHTML printing (possibly).
<li>Animation classes (possibly).
<li>PCX writing capability (possibly).

<ul>
<li>wxHTML printing. When finished, this will allow an application to generate
printed reports with very little effort.
<li>wxSocket.
<li>Split library into several, for base (classes and functions usable by console and GUI
applications), console (classes and functions usable by console application only)
and GUI (classes and functions usable by GUI application only).
<li>Extend and unify drag and drop handling (e.g. we need to specify multiple drop targets
that can handle multiple formats).
<li>Expand the number of controls that can be specified in a WXR file.
<li>Rewrite Dialog Editor.
<li>PCX writing code.
<li>GIF animation code.
<li>Tidying of timer code, addition of wxChrono class.
<li>wxDateTime class.
<li>MGL port (see Backroom/Future Ports page).
<li>Rotated text support.
<li>FreeType support.
<li>Support for 'skins', perhaps using a set of alternative control and window classes
written generically in wxWindows.
<li>Book, tutorial.
<li>More examples.
</ul>

<P>

<B><I>wxMSW</I></B><P>

<ul>
<li>Windows CE port.
<li>Cure bug whereby in a panel within another panel, all buttons become
default buttons (heavy black border).
<li>Write a RC->WXR converter.

panel application.
