All:
- new classes for reading and writing ZIP files (M.J.Wetherell)
+- large files support for wxFFile (M.J.Wetherell)
+- classes in the manual are now cross-referenced (Zbigniew Zagórski)
- Norwegian (Bokmål) translation added (Hans F. Nordhaug)
- wxDynamicLibrary::HasSymbol() added
+- added wxEXEC_NODISABLE flag to be used with wxExecute(wxEXEC_SYNC)
- added wxTextInputStream::operator>>(wchar_t) for compilers which support this
- added wxURI, a class for dealing with Uniform Resource Identifiers
- changed wxURL to inherit from wxURI and provide assignment and comparison
- 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.
+- Added wxPrintFactory classes so that it is possible to add a new
+ print system backend at run-time. This was required by the new GNOME
+ printing stuff in the GTK port.
+- 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)
All (GUI):
+- wxSplitterWindow now supports gravity parameter (Zbigniew Zagórski)
- recursive wxSizer::GetItem returns item of given window, sizer or nth index
- wxLayoutConstraints now use best size, not current size, for AsIs() condition
- wxSizer::Add/Insert etc. now returns pointer to wxSizerItem just added and this
- wxBookCtrl renamed to wxBookCtrlBase, wxBookCtrl is reserved for most native
book control (for now wxChoicebook for MSSmartphone, wxNotebook for others).
Necessary event macros, types and styles mapped accordingly.
+- new wxBrush::IsHatch() checking for brush type replaces IS_HATCH macro
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
+ if it is. Otherwise, it will fall back to the old PostScript printing
+ code, from which the Pango drawing code was removed.
+- Implemented/improved wxDC::DrawRotatedText()
- 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)
+- Changed calls to GTK+ 2.4.x functions so that the code checks at
+ runtime, which library version is installed so that these functions
+ are only called with GTK+ 2.4.x installed and should yield linker
+ errors otherwise.
wxMac:
- fixed enhanced metafiles loading from files (Andreas Goebel)
- wxRadioButtons no longer have to be consecutive in a group
+- fixed spurious selection of combobox text during resize
+
+wxWinCE:

+ but not mentioned anywhere.
wxUniv:
- 3rd state support for checkboxes
- wxLB_SORT and wxCB_SORT now cause case-insensitive sorting
+wxPalmOS:
+
+- William Osborne has won and new port was born
+ (see: "wxPalmOS porting challenge")
+- polishing of the port (unnecessary 2.4 API compatibility, removed
+ all wxMSW specific code which was base for the new port)
+- enumeration of available volumes
+
2.5.3
