+for Mingw32.
+

+

+

+wxWindows 2.1.11 is now available for Windows, Motif and GTK.
+The final 2.2 public release will have further bug fixes, but 2.1.11 is pretty stable - a big improvement
+on 2.0.1 and better than previous snapshots. Here are a few of the features that make it well worth the upgrade:
+
+
+- Numerous bug fixes and consistency improvements.
+
- Further samples.
+
- Factoring out of some code into base classes, for easier
+ maintenance.
+
- Ability to compile library in console (non-GUI) mode.
+
- Integration of wxHTML widget and help controller into
+ wxWindows. wxHTML allows HTML viewing and printing (wxGTK
+ and wxMSW, partial support in wxMotif).
+
- New classes wxChrono, wxDialUpManager, wxFontEnumerator,
+ wxWizard, wxStaticLine, etc.
+
- wxShowTip for showing 'startup tips' to the user.
+
- wxSocket and wxThread classes rewritten.
+
- New, consistent drag and drop API (not wxMotif).
+
- Better-looking dialogs in wxGTK; native message box used
+ in wxMotif.
+
- wxSizers reimplemented and used to specify window layout
+ for some generic dialogs.
+
- New, more sophisticated wxGrid class (in beta). The old grid
+ class can still be used.
+
- Text alignment options in wxStaticText.
+
- wxImage class extended to read PCX and GIF files.
+
- Documentation improvements.
+
- Revised configure system for wxGTK and wxMotif; tmake-based
+ system for generating wxMSW makefiles.
+
- Installer for Windows as alternative to zip archives.

+
+Today, a snapshot release of the MSW and the GTK ports has been
+made. The two snapshots are synchronized and have been tested
+for several weeks and should thus be considered to be quite stable.
+
+Among the many new features that have appeared since version 2.0
+was release are:
+
+
+- A great number of incompatiblities between the GTK and the MSW port have been removed. This
+holds escecially true for the way, time and order, controls send notifications to the user program.
+
- Practically all widgets have been updated, removing bugs or adding missing features to
+specific ports (mostly the GTK port).
+
- The GTK port now supports GTK version 1.2 as well as 1.0, giving access to the many new
+features, such as e.g. menu accelerators.
+
- Many of the non-GUI classes have been reworked and new ones added, the stream classes
+having undergone a complete rewrite.
+
- The addition of code to handle Unicode has begun and is in an advanced state.
+
- The Python bindings (wxPython) have been largely improved and upadted to the newest
+API and features.

+
+We are glad to announce the start of the work on the new wxWindows port - wxBeOS
+which will implement wxWindows 2 API for BeOS.
+Thanks to Be for donating licenses to wxWindows project to make it possible.
+
+If you're interested in helping with this new port, please write to wxWindows
+developers mailing list!
