 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
@@ -23,9 +26,17 @@ All:
 - 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

 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.
