+wxWidgets 2.9.4
+===============
+
+This directory contains the files for wxWidgets 2.9.4 release.
+
+Please notice that since the 2.9 series only a single source distribution is
+provided instead of the multiple distributions containing only the files for
+each port as was done before. So you only need to download wxWidgets-2.9.4.zip
+(or .7z for much smaller archive size) for Microsoft Windows systems or
+wxWidgets-2.9.4.tar.bz2 for Unix ones, including Mac OS X. The only difference
+between these files is that the ZIP (and 7z) archives contain files with DOS
+line endings while the tar balls contain files with Unix line endings.
+
+Windows users: note that the provided wxWidgets-2.9.4-Setup.exe file installs
+the sources for wxMSW and does *not* include wxWidgets binaries and you still
+need to build the library, please see `docs/msw/install.txt` for instructions.
