+In addition to common and advanced GUI facilities such as frames,
+scrolling windows, toolbars, tree controls, icons, device contexts,
+printing, splitter windows and so on, there are wrappers for common
+file operations, facilities for writing network applications,
+thread handling, and so on. You can learn more about wxWidgets at

+
+Note about naming: while 2.9.4 is called a "development" release,
+this only means that API is not guaranteed to remain unchanged in the
+subsequent 2.9.x releases (although it is still likely that it will),
+unlike in the stable 2.8.x branch. We believe the current version is
+stable and suitable for use in production environment.

+Changes in this release
+-----------------------
+
+This release contains several years worth of improvements compared
+to 2.8 version. Notably, Unicode support has been completely
+overhauled and made much easier to use. Debugging support, including
+when using a release build of the library, was much improved making
+it less likely that you use the library incorrectly. Many new GUI
+and base classes have been added or improved.
+
+Please see the file docs/changes.txt for more details and make sure
+to read the section "Incompatible changes since 2.8" if you upgrade
+from a previous wxWidgets release.
+
+This release introduces many important changes and we are looking
+forward to your feedback about them. In particular please let us
+know about any regressions compared to the previous versions (see
+the section "Bug reporting" below) so that we could fix them before
+3.0 release.
