-wxWidgets 2.5.3
----------------
-
-*** Please note that this is an UNSTABLE DEVELOPMENT SNAPSHOT.
-*** Unless you need the new features and bug fixes, you may wish to
-*** use the official 2.4.x stable series. You are still encouraged
-*** to try the releases from 2.5.x branch, of course, and unstable
-*** doesn't mean that they crash all the time -- just that the API
-*** may change in backwards incompatible way. If this doesn't frighten
-*** you, do try this release and please let us know what you think!

-Welcome to wxWidgets, a sophisticated cross-platform C++
-framework for writing advanced GUI applications using (where
-possible) the native controls.
-
-In addition to common and advanced GUI facilities such as
-frames, scrolling windows, toolbars, tree controls, icons,
-device contexts, printing, splitter windows and so on, there are
-wrappers for common file operations, and facilities for writing
-TCP/IP applications, thread handling, and more. Where certain
-features are not available on a platform, such as MDI and tree
-controls on Unix, they are emulated.
-
-A detailed 1800-page reference manual is supplied in HTML, PDF
-and Windows Help form: see the docs hierarchy.

+ wxWidgets 2.9.5 Release Notes
+ =============================
+
+Welcome to the latest release of wxWidgets, a free cross-platform C++
+framework for writing advanced GUI applications using native controls.
+
+
+In addition to common and advanced GUI facilities such as frames,
+scrolling windows, toolbars, tree controls, icons, device contexts,
+printing, splitter windows and so on, there are wrappers for common
+file operations, facilities for writing network applications,
+thread handling, and so on. You can learn more about wxWidgets at
+
+ http://www.wxwidgets.org/
+
+
+wxWidgets sources are available for download from
+
+ https://sourceforge.net/projects/wxwindows/files/2.9.5/
+
+or
+
+ ftp://ftp.wxwidgets.org/pub/2.9.5/
+
+Please see the "Files" section below for the description of various
+files available at these locations.
+
+
+A detailed reference manual including in-depth overviews for various
+topics is supplied in various formats and can be accessed online at
+
+ http://docs.wxwidgets.org/2.9.5/
+
+
+Note about naming: while 2.9.5 is called a "development" release,
+this only means that API is not guaranteed to remain unchanged in the
+subsequent 2.9.x releases (although it is still likely that it will),
+unlike in the stable 2.8.x branch. We believe the current version is
+stable and suitable for use in production environment.
