+<p>Added wx.PlatformInfo which is a tuple containing strings that
+describe the platform and build options of wxPython.  This lets you
+know more about the build than just the __WXPORT__ value that
+wx.Platform contains, such as if it is a GTK2 build.  For example,
+instead of:</p>
+<pre class="literal-block">
+if wx.Platform == &quot;__WXGTK__&quot;:

+</pre>
+<p>you should do this:</p>
+<pre class="literal-block">

+<p>and you can specifically check for a wxGTK2 build by looking for
+&quot;gtk2&quot; in wx.PlatformInfo.  Unicode builds are also detectable this
+way.  If there are any other platform/toolkit/build flags that make
