+-----
+
+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

+ 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.

+- 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
+- wxTaskBarIcon must be explicitly destroyed now, otherwise the application
+ 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)
+
+wxHTML:
+
+- improved tables and lists layout algorithms (Tim Kosse)

+- added wxFileName::GetForbiddenChars() (Dimitri Schoolwerth)
- use true/false throughout the library instead of TRUE/FALSE
- wxStopWatch::Start() resumes the stop watch if paused, as per the docs

+ std::vector, wxList from std::list. In addition wxHashTable will be
+ implemented in terms of wxHashMap.
+- Added wxList::compatibility_iterator. Can be used like wxNode* (except
+ it can't be delete()d). It permits writing code which will work
+ both with wxUSE_STL==1 and wxUSE_STL==0.

+ report the number of pages accurately; doesn't try to set
+ number of pages in print dialog, in common with other Windows apps;
+ wxHTML easy printing's preview shows number of pages
