-
-wxWindows 2.1.11
-================
-
-- 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.
