+<P>
+
+This page represents current thinking about where wxWindows is going in the near,
+medium and long-term. It also serves as a schedule for new releases so
+that both developers and users can know what to expect when, at least approximately.<P>
+
+Note (1): as the wxWindows effort is voluntary, these are not hard-and-fast deadlines:
+but we will endeavour to follow them as closely as possible.<P>
+
+Note (2): the releases described are for wxGTK, wxMSW and wxMotif ports. wxMac currently follows
+its own development path. Also, minor snapshot releases for specific platforms may be
+available at dates convenient to the developers.<P>

+printed reports with very little effort.

+applications), console (classes and functions usable by console application only)
