+20th November '99: wxWindows 2.1.12 released
+
+Minor compile and build fixes for different architectures.
+
+Added more flags to wxSizer for proportional sizing and
+centering and alignment combination.
+
+Added controls to wxToolBars (e.g. combobox) and DeleteTool.
+
+Fixed problem with reading flushable streams.
+
+Added code to send events from one thread to another and added
+function to wake up idle system (needed for sending inter-thread
+events).
+
+Corrected wrongly set flag in dialogs which broke its tab code.
+Also corrected navigation on wxRadioBox.
+
+Corrected segfaults in wxGLCanvas and stupid race when using
+several such windows.
+
+Some minor updates to wxSockets.
+
+Speed-up for new encoding related font code.
+
+7st November '99: wxWindows 2.1.11 released
+
+There is still an unresolved problem with bitmap to image
+conversion on big-endian architectures (such as Solaris),
+where color values get exchanged. I'd need help on this
+one as I have no BE computer.
+
+Enlightment has struck the majority of the developers and
+they have chosen to use the Linux kernel numbering scheme
+for wxWindows from now on. This means that the next stable
+release will be called wxWindows 2.2.X, development snapshots
+will be called 2.1.X.
+
+A lot of discussion has been wasted on how to maintain a
+once released stable version. It was almost universally
+agreed that only a commercial entity will have the motivation
+($$$) to do that - so far there is no wxWindows Inc.
+
+Support for GTK 1.0 has been dropped. This version has
+been tested with GTK 1.2.3 and GTK 1.2.6 - it might
+not work with some other versions.
+
+Rewritten the support for multiple-format Drag'n'Drop and
+clipboard under both GTK and MSW. There are probably some
+problems here and there left.
+
+wxListBox and wxChoice can now handle only either void
+client data (which it will not delete on destruction) or
+client data of the wxClientData type (which it will delete),
+instead of both at the same time. The same will happen
+to wxComboBox some time. Also, wxListBox can now sort its
+items.
+
+Many build fixes for various platforms have been applied,
+try again, poor AIX, HP-UX and *BSD users, but don't reckon
+with immediate success. Actually, when using GNU compilers,
+your chances are quite good.
+
+My rewrite of the wxWindows underlying GTK widget
+has turned scrolling including subwindows from barely
+functional to pretty and fast. I also added scrolling
+of foreign windows to wxScrolledWindow.
+
+Setting size hints for the window manager might work now.
+
+wxSocket and Co. have been improved up to the point of
+calling it a rewrite. It works on wxMSW now too and
+seems pretty stable, but testing is still welcome.
+
+The ODBC classes contributed by Remstar Inc. have been
+overhauled (incl the sample) and have been tested with
+all relevant SQL databases (even DBase). For that reason
+I have reawakened the iODBC code from wxGTK 2.0 so you
+can now use wxODBC from wxMSW and wxGTK.
+
+Several printing things fixed. More work needs to be done
+here..
+
+HTML widget and the wxWindows' help system based upon
+it have been reorganized and improved for easier use
+from Python and C++. Also HTML printing has been added.
+
+wxSpinCtrl added. Like a wxSpinButton and a wxTextCtrl.
+
+Changed the beaviour of the popular new wxFileDialog to
+not forget the once typed file name when changing the
+directory.
+
+Implemented the wxSIMPLE_BORDER flag (simple black line
+without shadow affect).
+
+Michael is writing a complete rewrite of the antiquated
+wxGrid. This is still work-in-progress and might not make
+it into wxWindows 2.2, we'll see. Help would be welcome
+to make that happen.
+
+Made wxMenu code lose less memory, also added wxMenu::Delete().
+
+Added code to send wxActivateEvent to MDI windows.
+
+Vadim added configure things to compile wxWindows without any
+GUI library. This is probably work in progress. He'll also add
+a wxFontEnumerator class and has enhanced wxFont to make use
+of char-encodings.
+
+wxSlider, wxWindow, wxScrollBar now emit the correct events
+for scrolling (like page up, line up etc) instead of just
+"thumb-track" as before.
+
+Corrected Reparent() code, including the special case for
+wxToolBar (as the toolbar sits in a different window than
+normal windows).
+
+Corrected key accelerator code for toplevel child windows
+and added support for more key combinations - pretty much
+all, actually.
+
+Corrected cursor handling in a number of special cases.
+
+wxGLCanvas now waits until all expose events have been sent
+and then emits its own redraw event. Also removed flicker
+for wxGLCanvas and in some other places.
+
+A handler to read PCX file (in most variants) has been added.
+
+A number of problems with compressed and socket streams have
+been solved.
+
+Changed behavour of wxTextStream to make use of deliminators
+and default to space as the standard C++ stream do.
+
+Changes to tab traversal code to better reflect MSW code.
+
+Corrected problems with wxGenericValidator and certain controls.
+
+Made default button action work in more cases.

28th August '99: Ninth wxGTK 2.1 snapshot released
As the old makefile system didn't work, I trashed it and wrote
