+
+2.5.2
+-----
+
+All:
+
+- Hindi translation added (Dhananjaya Sharma)
+- Brazilian Portuguese translation added (E. A. Tacao)
+- wxDynamicCast() now uses static_cast<wxObject *> internally and so using it
+ with anything not deriving from wxObject will fail at compile time (instead
+ of run-time) now
+- when wxUSE_STL == 1 and STL provides quasi-standard hash_map/hash_set,
+ wxHashMap/wxHashSet are just typedefs for them. This makes impossible
+ to forward declare these classes.
+
+All (GUI):
+
+- wxHtmlWindow now delays image scaling until rendering,
+ resulting in much better display of scaled images
+- Added UpdateSize to wxSplitterWindow to allow layout while hidden
+- implemented Freeze/Thaw() for wxGenericTreeCtrl (Kevin Hock)
+- support for KOI8-U encoding added (Yuriy Tkachenko)
+- The old wxADJUST_MINSIZE behaviour is now the default behaviour for
+ sizer items that are windows. This means that GetAdjustedBestSize
+ will now be called by default to determine the minimum size that a
+ window in a sizer should have. If you want to still use the initial
+ size (and not the BestSize) then use the wxFIXED_MINSIZE flag. When
+ windows are added to a sizer their initial size is made the window's
+ min size using SetSizeHints, and calls to wxSizer::SetItemMinSize
+ are also forwarded to SetSizeHints for window items.
+- added wxRegEx::GetMatchCount()
+- it is now possible to display images in wxHtmlListBox
+
+wxMSW:
+
+- wxWindow::Freeze()/Thaw() can now be nested

+ even try to do it by default -- now it does

+ won't exit even though there are no top level windows
+- wxFileName::GetModificationTime() works with opened files too now
+- wxDC::GetClippingBox() now works even for clipping regions created by Windows
+- fixed wxFileDataObject in Unicode build (Alex D)
+- subindented paragraphs support (Tim Kosse)
+
+wxGTK:
+
+- added support for wxTE_RIGHT and wxTE_CENTRE styles under GTK2 (Mart Raudsepp)
+
+wxMotif:
+
+- removed wxMenuItem::DeleteSubMenu()
+- wxButtons use Motif default size, which is smaller than it used to be
+ and closer to wxMSW/wxGTK look. This can be disabled by setting
+ motif.largebuttons system option to 1 (see wxSystemOptions).
+
+wxUniv/X11:
+
+- implemented DrawRoundedRectangle() (clawghoul)
+

+
