+2.5.2
+-----
+
+All:
+
+- Hindi translations added (Dhananjaya Sharma)
+- 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
+
+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 behaviouris 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.
+
+wxMSW:
+
+- wxWindow::Freeze()/Thaw() can now be nested
+- Added wxSP_NO_XP_THEME style to wxSplitterWindow to switch off
+  XP theming (some applications look bad without 3D borders)
+- wxMenuBar::GetLabelTop() doesn't include '&'s in the label any more
+- wxRegConf couldn't read global settings without admin privileges and didn't
+  even try to do it by default -- now it does
+- wxTaskBarIcon must be explicitly destroyed now, otherwise the application
+  won't exit even though there are no top level windows
