+<li>Vaclav Slavik has recently written an
+<a href="http://www.root.cz/clanek.phtml?id=425" target=_top>article about wxWindows</a> for a Czech ezine.
+<li>Hurray! There is a lot of traffic on the wxStudio mailing list, and
+Gerd Mueller has offered to make the <a href="http://www.softwarebuero.de" target=_top>WipeOut</a> IDE
+open source and merge it with wxStudio.

+<li><a href="download.htm" target=wxmain>wxWindows 2.1.16</a> contains fixes

+<li><a href="download.htm" target=wxmain>wxWindows 2.1.15</a> contains a few fixes
+for wxGTK and wxMSW. wxMSW and wxMotif users who already have 2.1.14 do not need to rush to
+download this version! The fixes in the patch file (see main download page) contain the
+major differences between 2.1.14 and 2.1.15.

+<li><a href="download.htm" target=wxmain>wxWindows 2.1.14</a> is now available for Windows, Motif and GTK.
+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;
+it too is available alongside the latest release as mmedia.zip.

+<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.
+</ul>
+

+
+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:
+
+<ul>
+<li> 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.
+<li> Practically all widgets have been updated, removing bugs or adding missing features to
+specific ports (mostly the GTK port).
+<li> 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.
+<li> Many of the non-GUI classes have been reworked and new ones added, the stream classes
+having undergone a complete rewrite.
+<li> The addition of code to handle Unicode has begun and is in an advanced state.
+<li> The Python bindings (wxPython) have been largely improved and upadted to the newest
+API and features.
+</ul>
