- Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.1.12
-
-you have downloaded version 2.1 of the GTK+ 1.2 port of
-the wxWindows GUI library. Although this is not yet the
-final stable release wxGTK 2.2, the current version has
-been tested carefully on many systems and has been found
-to work better than any other previous version.
-
-Nonetheless, beware that major changes can happen before
-a final release.
-
-wxWindows no longer supports GTK 1.0 (as did some early
-snapshots) so that you will need GTK 1.2 when using it.
-
-Beginning with snapshot 9, wxWindows uses a completely
-new make file system on Unix which no longer uses the
-various GNU tools and I hope that I'll never again have
-to write any more makefiles.

-and about the wxWindows project as a whole (and the MSW
-and Motif ports in particular) can be found at Julian's

+ Welcome to wxWidgets for GTK+
+ -----------------------------
+
+You have downloaded the GTK+ port of the wxWidgets GUI library.
+
+It is required to use at least GTK+ 2.4 and some features are
+only available when using GTK+ 2.8 or higher. Note that if you
+compile wxWidgets against GTK+ 2.8 your app will still work
+with older GTK+ version down to version 2.4 as wxWidgets
+tests for the presence of newer features at run-time and it
+will fall back to a generic implementation if these features
+are not present in the GTK+ version used.
+
+wxWidgets 2.8 still supports GTK+ 1.2, but no developement
+is done on that port anymore and support for GTK+ 1.2 will
+probably be dropped entirely. Indeed, one of the major steps
+in the developement cycle leading up to wxWidgets 2.8 was
+that the codebase for GTK+ 1.2 and GTK+ 2.0 were separated
+so that improvements and clean-ups to the GTK+ 2.0 port
+could be done without caring for GTK+ 1.2.
+
+More info about the wxWidgets project (including all the
+other ports and version of wxWidgets) can be found at the
+main wxWidgets homepage at:
