Please see changes.txt for details.
-Note that there is a new contrib hierarchy for contributions,

-Graphics Library and MMedia library have been moved under
-contrib, so you may need to change your makefiles or project
-files, together with your source files. E.g. change #include "ogl.h"
-to #include <wx/ogl/ogl>.
-
-Also VC++ project files and makefiles have been made more
-consistent, so some paths and library names have changed.

Platforms supported
-------------------
Most popular C++ compilers are supported; see the install.txt
file for each platform (available via docs/html/index.htm) for details.

-The distribution is available in a number of formats.
-The most convenient is the platform-specific distribution,
-but the zip set forms a more complete distribution, for example if
-you wish to take part in wxWindows development. Also, add-ons
-such as OGL may only be available in zip form.
