- wxGetOsDescription() is now more precise (Olly Betts)
- XRC supports system fonts and colours (Ray Gilbert)
- Added flags argument to wxKill/wxProcess::Kill to kill child processes.
+- Added wxPrintFactory classes so that it is possible to add a new
+ print system backend at run-time. This was required by the new GNOME
+ printing stuff in the GTK port.
All (GUI):
wxGTK:
+- Added printing support by way of using libgnomeprint. The library
+ now checks at runtime, if the library is installed and will use it
+ if it is. Otherwise, it will fall back to the old PostScript printing
+ code, from which the Pango drawing code was removed.
+- Implemented/improved wxDC::DrawRotatedText()
- fixed wxFileDialog::SetWildcard()
- native file dialog is now used if available (Zbigniew Zagorski)
- implemented wxTextCtrl::Freeze() and Thaw(). The GtkTextBuffer
is not a valid one during frozen state. Get a pointer to it right
after wxTextCtrl creation if you really need to. (Mart Raudsepp)
--
+- Changed calls to GTK+ 2.4.x functions so that the code checks at
+ runtime, which library version is installed so that these functions
+ are only called with GTK+ 2.4.x installed and should yield linker
+ errors otherwise.
wxMac:
- wxRadioButtons no longer have to be consecutive in a group
- fixed spurious selection of combobox text during resize
+wxWinCE:
+- Added support for MS Handheld PC 2000. This was done before 2.5.4,
+ but not mentioned anywhere.
+
wxUniv:
- wxBU_... button align flags support
Welcome to wxWidgets/Gtk 2.5

+You have downloaded version 2.5 of the GTK+ port of the
wxWidgets GUI library.
-wxWidgets no longer supports GTK 1.0 (as did some early
-snapshots) so that you will need GTK 1.2 when using it.
-GTK 1.2.6 or above is recommended although some programs
-will work with GTK 1.2.3 onwards. There is now support
-for GTK 2.0.
+wxWidgets no longer supports GTK 1.0.x (as did some early

+quite a few of the enhancements of GTK+ 2.2.x and even

with GTK 2.0 and add --enable-unicode.

Please note that it is strongly advised to build the library in
a separate directory, as shown above, as it allows you to have
different builds of it (for example with and without debug) in
VERSION OF GTK, WXGTK, WHAT DISTRIBUTION YOU USE AND WHAT ERROR
WAS REPORTED. I know this has no effect, but I tried...
-The library produced by the install process will be called
-libwx_gtk.a (static, only buil if --disable-shared configure
-switch was used or if shared libraries are not supported at all
-on your platform which is quite unlikely) and
-libwx_gtk-2.2.so.0.0.0 (shared) so that once a binary
-incompatible version of wxWidgets/Gtk comes out we'll augment
-the library version number to avoid linking problems.
