This means that the next stable +release will be called wxWindows 2.2.X, development snapshots +will be called 2.1.X. + +A lot of discussion has been wasted on how to maintain a +once released stable version will be maintained. It was +almost universally agreed that only a commercial entity +will have the motivation ($$$) to do that - so far there +is no wxWindows Inc. + +Support for GTK 1.0 has been dropped. + +Many build fixes for various platforms have been applied, +try again, poor HP-UX and *BSD users, but don't reckon +with immediate success. + +My total rewrite of the wxWindows underlying GTK widget +has turned scrolling including subwindows from barely +functional to pretty and fast. + +wxSocket and Co. have been improved up to the point of +calling it a rewrite. It works on wxMSW now too and +seems pretty stable, but testing is still welcome. + +The ODBC classes contributed by Remstar Inc. have been +overhauled (incl the sample) and have been tested with +all relevant SQL databases (even DBase). For that reason +I have reawakened the iODBC code from wxGTK 2.0 so you +can now use wxODBC from wxMSW and wxGTK. + +Several printing things fixed. + +HTML widget and its wxWindows' help system based upon +it have been reorganized and improved for easier use +from Python and C++. + +wxSpinCtrl added. Like a wxSpinButton and a wxTextCtrl. + +Changed the beaviour of the popular new wxFileDialog to +not forget the once typed file name when changing the +directory. + +Implemented the wxSIMPLE_BORDER flag (simple black line +without shadow affect). + +Michael is writing a complete rewrite of the antiquated +wxGrid. This is still work-in-progress and might not make +it into wxWindows 2.2, we'll see. Help would be welcome +to make that happen. + +Made wxMenu code lose less memory, also added wxMenu::Delete(). + +Added code to send wxActivateEvent to MDI windows. + +Vadim added configure things to compile wxWindows without any +GUI library. This is probably work in progress. He'll also add +a wxFontEnumerator class and has enhanced wxFont to make use +of char-encodings. + +wxSlider, wxWindow, wxScrollBar now emit the correct events +for scrolling (like page up, line up etc) instead of just +"thumb-track" as before. + +Corrected bug in Reparent() code. + +A handler to read PCX file (in most variants) has been added. + +A number of problems with compressed and socket streams have +been solved. + 28th August '99: Ninth wxGTK 2.1 snapshot released As the old makefile system didn't work, I trashed it and wrote
