-Beginning with snapshot 6, wxWindows uses a completely
-new make file system on Unix that uses GNU automake,
-GNU autoconf and GNU autoheader. You do not need these
-programs in order to use the library, but for taking
-part in its development, they are required. Read the
-INSTALL.txt file for learning what you can do with the
-new configure/automake/libtool system.
+This is the last beta release. wxWindows is now in a code
+freeze and only bugs will be corrected.
+
+wxWindows no longer supports GTK 1.0 (as did some early
+snapshots) so that you will need GTK 1.2 when using it.
+GTK 1.2.6 is recommended although somw programs will work
+with GTK 1.2.3 onwards.
