+release, in particular there were a lot of improvements in wxOSX/Cocoa
+port. Some of other noteworthy changes were:
+
+- Introduction of short event names (e.g. wxEVT_BUTTON instead of
+  wxEVT_COMMAND_BUTTON_SELECTED) to make the code using Bind() for
+  dynamic event handling easier to both write and read.
+- Support for hooking any modal dialogs shown by wxWidgets, which is
+  especially used for non-interactive testing.
+- New wxSimplebook class.
+- Many enhancements in wxWebView and related classes.
