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

  44 <H4>Release 2.1.10</H4>
  45
  46 <ul>
  47 <li>Release date: October 3rd, 1999
  48 <li>This beta is intended to be the last stable snapshot before wxWindows
  49 is split into base and GUI libraries.

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

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