-These are some of the major improvements:
-
-wxWindows 2.1.11
-================
-
-- Numerous bug fixes and consistency improvements.
-- Further samples.
-- Factoring out of some code into base classes, for easier
- maintenance.
-- Ability to compile library in console (non-GUI) mode.
-- Integration of wxHTML widget and help controller into
- wxWindows. wxHTML allows HTML viewing and printing (wxGTK
- and wxMSW, partial support in wxMotif).
-- New classes wxChrono, wxDialUpManager, wxFontEnumerator,
- wxWizard, wxStaticLine, etc.
-- wxShowTip for showing 'startup tips' to the user.
-- wxSocket and wxThread classes rewritten.
-- New, consistent drag and drop API (not wxMotif).
-- Better-looking dialogs in wxGTK; native message box used
- in wxMotif.
-- wxSizers reimplemented and used to specify window layout
- for some generic dialogs.
-- New, more sophisticated wxGrid class (in beta). The old grid
- class can still be used.
-- Text alignment options in wxStaticText.
-- wxImage class extended to read PCX and GIF files.
-- Documentation improvements.
-- Revised configure system for wxGTK and wxMotif; tmake-based
- system for generating wxMSW makefiles.
-- Installer for Windows as alternative to zip archives.

+However, if you distribute wxGTK or wxMotif (with Lesstif) version
+of your application, don't forget that it is linked against

+notice. Under Linux systems your app is probably linked
+against LGPL glibc as well. Please read carefuly LGPL, section 6.

+If compiled with --enable-odbc (Unix only), wxWindows library will
+contain iODBC library which is covered by LGPL.
