+This is the first version in the new 2.7 development series. Please
+notice that this series is called "development" and not "stable"
+solely because ABI or API compatibility is not assured between
+different 2.7.x series versions.  Rest assured however that these
+potentially incompatible changes are made in order to evolve the
+toolkit to the next ABI stable release series (2.8.x) and that
+normally efforts are made to preserve compilation compatibility, so
+often moving to a new development release just requires a full
+recompile of the application using wxWidgets.  There are currently no
+known issues with the stability of the programs using this version.
+
+There have been many changes since the 2.6 series, please see the
+change log file included in the distribution for more details. The
+most significant additions to the GUI part of the libraries were:
+
+    - AUI (advanced user interface) library providing dockable
+      windows and much more
+    - richtext library implementing wxRichTextCtrl
+    - New wxComboCtrl and wxOwnerDrawnComboBox controls
+    - New wxTreebook book-like control
+    - New wxColour/Dir/File/Font/PickerCtrls
+    - wxHyperlinkCtrl control

 
 

-This is a development snapshot, sometimes known as
-an 'unstable' release. Improvements over 2.4.x include:
-numerous bug fixes, STL-like container classes,
-improved GTK+ 2 compatibility, new build system,
-improved Unicode compatibility, wxRenderer class,
-shaped frame and dialog windows on Windows and GTK+,
-more efficient UI update processing, print preview
-improvements, wxCrashReport class, OpenWatcom and
-Digital Mars compiler support, and more. Improvements
-over 2.5.2 include much improved Mac OS X and Windows CE
-support, as well as the usual bug fixes and minor enhancements.

 If you're an MFC user, you'll find many wxWidgets concepts
 reassuringly familiar, while often clearer and more consistent.
 If you're not, you should still find it intuitive from the start.
