+Who has a BigEndian computer (e.g. Sparc or PowerPC) that runs a 15 
+and/or 16 bit colour mode? I need this for testing purposes, i.e. this
+person could help me by running a small testprogram and sending
+me the output.
+
+Improved support for GTK's themes, changes in font sizes (and
+the dialogs' ability to react to that) and related things.
+
+Added Calendar control.
+
+Added classes for recoding text (e.g. from Windows encoding to ISO encoding
+and for converting to and from Unicode).
+
+Updated the 64-bit long class (a class that substitutes a 64-bit int
+type on platforms which don't provide a native one).
+
+Added wxImage::Replace() (for replacing colours) and wxImage::GetSubImage().
+Also corrected conversion from mono bitmaps to wxImage.
+
+Added wxBitmap::GetSubBitmap().
+
+Removed some flicker from tree ctrl. Minor optical changes.
+
+Added support for multiple font and colour support for items in
+list ctrls and tree ctrls.
+
+Added support for multiple-selection file dialog.
+
+Implemented wxMenuBar::Insert() and wxMenu::Insert(). There is
+also a Remove() method now, but the GTK doesn't really like that.
+
+Enhanced wxMimeTypesManager to read GNOME and KDE file ending
+bindings to MIME types and icons.
+
+Corrected wxExecute to longer eat up all memory and crash under
+certain circumstances (Karsten Ballueder).
+
+wxGTK no longer gives warnings if the application shows a dialog
+before entering the main loop.
+
+Added string to long/ulong/float conversion routines and some
+more string related things.
+
+Updated documentation for wxFile, wxFFile and their respective
+stream classes. Documented some more stream classes.
+
+Improved wxHTML and its help system. Options dialog, better printing,
+history index. Also implemented more (cite, definition lists, etc).
+
+Corrected wxRegion::GetBox().
+
+Added wxNotebookSizer for combining notebooks and sizers.
+
+Added wxDir class. Useful as a replacement for wxFileGetFirst()
+and wxFileGetNext().
+
+Fixed Y2000 bug in file dialog (sic.)
+
+Added wxStopWatch class.
+
+wxBitmap now derives from wxGDIObject.
+
+Added inlined classes for 2D geometry calculations.
+
+wxSpinCtrl now has its own event, intercepted using EVT_SPINCTRL.
+
+The ODBC classes can now be configured at run-time if they
+are to use forward-only cursors or not.
+
+Added wxDateTime class. The existing classes wxTime and wxDate
+have been reimplemented and corrected using wxDateTime.
+
+Rewritten wxThread to have a flag controlling if the
+thread will delete its C++ class itself ("delete this") or
+if the main thread must delete the C++ class.
+
+Added TIFF reading code, PCX writing code.
