This is a development snapshot, sometimes known as
an 'unstable' release. Improvements over 2.4.x include:
numerous bug fixes, STL-like container classes,
improved GTK+ 2 compatibility, new build system,
improved Unicode compatibility, wxRenderer class,
shaped frame and dialog windows on Windows and GTK+,
more efficient UI update processing, print preview
improvements, wxCrashReport class, OpenWatcom and
Digital Mars compiler support, and more. Improvements
over 2.5.2 include much improved Mac OS X and Windows CE
support, as well as the usual bug fixes and minor enhancements.
Since 2.4.2, we have added support for Windows Mobile devices,
enhanced GTK+ 2 support, radically overhauled the Mac OS X port,
replaced the build system with Bakefile, added better
integration with STL, and added a CppUnit-based test suite.
Other changes include sizer improvements, new Gnome printing
features, ODBC enhancements such as BLOB support and Unicode
support on Windows, wxTaskBarIcon support on Mac OS X and Linux
as well as Windows, top-level windows can have arbitrary shapes,
images can have alpha channels, plus many API enhancements and
bug fixes to existing classes. New classes include
wxVScrolledWindow, wxVListBox, wxHtmlListbox,
wxPropertySheetDialog, wxGridBagSizer, wxMediaCtrl,
wxDatePickerCtrl, wxArchiveInputStream/wxArchiveOutputStream
(including zip archive read/write support), wxListbook,
wxChoicebook, wxDebugReport, and more.
