-wxWindows 2 beta 4
-------------------
-
-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.
-Where certain features are not available on a platform, such as MDI and
-tree controls on Unix, they are emulated.
-
-A detailed 700-page reference manual is supplied in HTML, PDF and
-Windows Help form.
-
-For a quick start, point your Web browser at docs/html/index.htm for a list of
-important documents and samples.
+wxWidgets 2.7.0
+---------------------------------------------------------
+
+Welcome to wxWidgets, a sophisticated cross-platform C++
+framework for writing advanced GUI applications using
+native controls where possible.
+
+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 2000-page reference manual is supplied in HTML, PDF
+and Windows Help form: see the docs hierarchy.

+
+Releases in the 2.7 series are considered development releases,
+and as such, each new release may contain significant new
+features or code changes which have not yet received thorough
+testing and/or may break ABI or API compatibility with previous
+releases. Therefore, we recommend that you keep this in mind if
+you are to base your software on a 2.7 release, and thoroughly
+test the parts of the wx library your application uses. Rest
+assured however that these potentially incompatible changes are
+made in order to evolve the toolkit to the next ABI stable
+release series (2.8.x) and that normally efforts are made to
+preserve compilation compatibility, so often moving to a new
+development release just requires a full recompile of the
+application using wxWidgets.
