+wxWindows Release Notes
+-----------------------
+
+2.1.11
+======
+
+- wxMenu no longer takes a wxFunction argument: either use
+  event handlers in the menu's host window or set WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY
+  to 1 in setup.h, and recompile.
+
+- wxMotif still lags behind other ports but is in much better
+  shape than the 2.0.1 distribution.
+
+- Clipboard/drag and drop is still not implemented in wxMotif.
+
+- The new wxGrid implementation is in beta, but the original
+  implementation can be restored by setting wxUSE_NEW_GRID
+  to 0 (in wxMSW) or passing --disable-newgrid to configure
+  (wxGTK/wxMSW). Pass --enable-newgrid to configure to enable
+  the new implementation.
+
+- wxHTML is partially working in wxMotif. The About sample
+  works, but the others exhibit refresh problems. So light
+  use of wxHTML is recommended on wxMotif.
+
+- The wxHTML helpview application crashes on exit if
+  using VC++ 6 in release mode and loading a large amount of
+  HTML (such as the wxWindows manual generated using Tex2RTF).
+  This may be a compiler problem and will be investigated
+  for 2.1.12.
+
+- wxHTML printing has spacing problems under Windows, and may not
+  work fully under Unix. Hopefully this will be resolved for 2.1.12.
