+wxWindows 2.5.0
+---------------
+
+*** Please note that this is an UNSTABLE DEVELOPMENT SNAPSHOT.
+*** Unless you need the new features and bug fixes, you may wish to
+*** use the official 2.4.x stable series. You are still encouraged
+*** to try the releases from 2.5.x branch, of course, and unstable
+*** doesn't mean that they crash all the time -- just that the API
+*** may change in backwards incompatible way. If this doesn't frighten
+*** you, do try this release and please let us know what you think!
+
+Welcome to wxWindows 2, a sophisticated cross-platform C++
+framework for writing advanced GUI applications using (where
+possible) the native controls.
+
+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, and facilities for writing
+TCP/IP applications, thread handling, and more. Where certain
+features are not available on a platform, such as MDI and tree
+controls on Unix, they are emulated.
+
+A detailed 1800-page reference manual is supplied in HTML, PDF
+and Windows Help form: see the docs hierarchy.
+
+For a quick start, point your Web browser at docs/html/index.htm
+for a list of important documents and samples.
