+Again, great strides have been made since the previous official version (2.1.11), and 2.2 will be the next official
+stable version. Many things have been fixed and added but <a href="newver.htm">here are some highlights</a>.
+<li>Robin Dunn is contributing a wxStyledTextCtrl, a wrapper around the <a href="http://www.scintilla.org/" target=_new>Scintilla</a>
+styled text edit control. It can be used to provide syntax highlighting for various languages, and other applications.
+A snapshot of this work in progress, stc.zip, is provided on the ftp site alongside the latest wxWindows release.
+<li>Guilhem Lavaux has reworked his MMedia sound and video class library and started its documentation;

+<li>Mumit Khan of Mingw32 fame has been testing wxWindows against Mingw32,
+to eliminate some bugs in both products and get wxWindows compilation as a DLL working
+for Mingw32.
+<li>Vadim has added his wxDateTime and wxCalendarCtrl classes and samples to the CVS archive.
+<li>TIFF support has been added, and wxImage speeded up.
+<li>Guillermo Rodriguez Garcia has added a new Game of Life demo.
+<li>The DDE sample now works in socket mode, at last.
+<li>Vadim has got clipboard copy and paste working for metafiles, by adding an enhanced
+metafile class.
+<li>The wxWindows web site is now hosted on SourceGear's server, with a bug tracker and
+other facilities to follow shortly.

+<a href="download.htm" target=wxmain>wxWindows 2.1.11</a> 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:<P>
+
+<ul>
+<li> Numerous bug fixes and consistency improvements.
+<li> Further samples.
+<li> Factoring out of some code into base classes, for easier
+  maintenance.
+<li> Ability to compile library in console (non-GUI) mode.
+<li> Integration of wxHTML widget and help controller into
+  wxWindows. wxHTML allows HTML viewing and printing (wxGTK
+  and wxMSW, partial support in wxMotif).
+<li> New classes wxChrono, wxDialUpManager, wxFontEnumerator,
+  wxWizard, wxStaticLine, etc.
+<li> wxShowTip for showing 'startup tips' to the user.
+<li> wxSocket and wxThread classes rewritten.
+<li> New, consistent drag and drop API (not wxMotif).
+<li> Better-looking dialogs in wxGTK; native message box used
+  in wxMotif.
+<li> wxSizers reimplemented and used to specify window layout
+  for some generic dialogs.
+<li> New, more sophisticated wxGrid class (in beta). The old grid
+  class can still be used.
+<li> Text alignment options in wxStaticText.
+<li> wxImage class extended to read PCX and GIF files.
+<li> Documentation improvements.
+<li> Revised configure system for wxGTK and wxMotif; tmake-based
+  system for generating wxMSW makefiles.
+<li> Installer for Windows as alternative to zip archives.
