	32	This page represents current thinking about where wxWindows is going in the near,
	33	medium and long-term. It also serves as a schedule for new releases so
	34	that both developers and users can know what to expect when, at least approximately.<P>
	35
	36	Note (1): as the wxWindows effort is voluntary, these are not hard-and-fast deadlines:
	37	but we will endeavour to follow them as closely as possible.<P>
	38
	39	Note (2): the releases described are for wxGTK, wxMSW and wxMotif ports. wxMac currently follows
	40	its own development path. Also, minor snapshot releases for specific platforms may be
	41	available at dates convenient to the developers.<P>

	46	<H4>Release 2.1.10</H4>
	47
	48	<ul>
	49	<li>Release date: October 3rd, 1999

	58
	59	<ul>
	60	<li>Release date: November 7th, 1999
	61	<li>Splits wxWindows into base and GUI libraries. Most, but not all makefiles
	62	are expected to support this: for the rest, the makefiles will build a valid
	63	combined base/GUI library for GUI applications only.
	64	<li>New wxGrid.
	65	<li>wxSocket working.
	66	<li>wxHTML printing (possibly).
	67	<li>Animation classes (possibly).

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