+you have downloaded a beta version 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.
+This is the last beta release. wxWindows is now in a code
+freeze and only bugs will be corrected.
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.
+GTK 1.2.6 is recommended although somw programs will work
+with GTK 1.2.3 onwards.
