+- BLOB example added to samples/db (thanks to Casey O'Donnell)
- use wxStream::GetLength() instead of deprecated GetSize()
- wxGetOsDescription() is now more precise (Olly Betts)
- XRC supports system fonts and colours (Ray Gilbert)
- Added flags argument to wxKill/wxProcess::Kill to kill child processes.

+ print system backend at run-time. This was required by the new GNOME
+ printing stuff in the GTK port.
+- Deprecated print setup dialog.
+- Added support to the wxODBC classes for Firebird 1.5 database
+- The samples/db sample program now includes an optional example of using a BLOB
+ datatype (if BLOB support is enabled and supported by the database)

+- wxSystemSettings::GetSystem*() members deprecated and replaced with
+ wxSystemSettings::Get*()

+ to compensate for this bug may need to be changed.
+- Changed calculation of scrolling area to not clip away some bits
+ due to a rounding error.
+- Changed GetVirtualSize() to return client size by default until
+ SetVirtualSize() gets called. From then on it will only return that.
+- Various changes to how wxListCtrl and wxTreeCtrl react to right
+ mouse clicks and left mouse click for starting a drag operation.

book control (for now wxChoicebook for MSSmartphone, wxNotebook for others).

+ in wxMSW version (Gunnar Roth)
+- added wxImage::InitAlpha()
Unix:
wxGTK:
+- Added printing support by way of using libgnomeprint. The library
+ now checks at runtime, if the library is installed and will use it

+ code, from which the Pango drawing code was removed.

- fixed wxFileDialog::SetWildcard()
- native file dialog is now used if available (Zbigniew Zagorski)
- implemented wxTextCtrl::Freeze() and Thaw(). The GtkTextBuffer
is not a valid one during frozen state. Get a pointer to it right
after wxTextCtrl creation if you really need to. (Mart Raudsepp)
--

+ runtime, which library version is installed so that these functions
+ are only called with GTK+ 2.4.x installed and should yield linker

+wxPalmOS:
+
+- William Osborne has won and new port was born
