-C++ Features
-============
-
-- Namespaces:
-    We want to have all wxWidgets identifiers in "wx" namespace but provide
-    typedefs/#defines for backwards compatibility. This can be done easily
-    for the classes and the only real problem are the enums as they would
-    all have to be duplicated at both the global scope (with "wx" prefix) and
-    in wx namespace (without it)
-
-- STLization
-    This involves providing optional wxString implementation using std::string
-    and doing the same for all our containers with the exception of wxHashMap
-    which should simply be rewritten using templates (but keeping the old
-    version for backwards compatibility -- ideally wx 3.0 would still be usable
-    without templates, even if not all of its features would be available then)
-
-- Exceptions
-    We are not going to use exceptions in wxWidgets itself but our code should
-    become exception safe. This is a very difficult task as it means that no
-    resource allocations (including memory, files, whatever) should be done
-    without using a smart pointer-like object to store the result as it is the
-    only way to prevent resource leaks in presence of exceptions
-
-- Real RTTI
-    Optionally use the real RTTI instead of wx emulation of it. Keep the
-    current stuff for backwards compatibility.
-
-- Complete replacing TRUE/FALSE with true/false
-    Trivial
-
-
-Core
-====
-
-- use wxEventLoop in all builds
-    wxApp and wxDialog should use wxEventLoop objects (the exact class can be
-    customized by user code by overriding some wxApp::CreateEventLoop())
-    instead of duplicating the same code
-
-- remove wxCOMPATIBILITY
-    wxDEPRECATED() should be used with everything inside WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_4.
-    The stuff inside WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_6 probably should not be deprecated
-    (yet?) because this would give thousands of warnings for the existing code.
-    Exception is api documented as obsolete in 2.6 release already.
-
-- Modularization/Build System
-    Candidates for components:
-        +   contrib widgets (and maybe some of the ones currently in the core)
-        +   wxHTML
-        +   network stuff
-        +   printing (?)
-        +   ODBC classes
-        +   ...
-
-- Project File Generation
-    We need a (GUI) tool to generate the project/makefiles for all supported
-    platforms/compilers. Not sure if it should be used for the library itself
-    (would be nice to have something like "make menuconfig" for Linux kernel
-     which allows you to navigate easily among all of the configure/setup.h
-     options but there is a problem with distributing such tool as it can't be
-     compiled by the user because it is needed before the library is built) but
-    we definitely need it for the users makefiles.
-
-- Properties/Member-Metadata, 2-Step Init with virtual create
-
-- Tidy code and add comments to headers (possibly in
-  Doxygen/Javadoc style)
-
-
-Documentation
-=============
-
-- The possibility of moving doc into header files with tool
-  support.
-- Detailed review of doc accuracy.
-- wxDC : Precise definition of default/initial state. 
-- wxDC : Pixelwise definition of operations (e.g. last point of a
-  line not drawn).
-- Events:
-    For all controls state clearly when calling a member function results in an
-    event being generated and when it doesn't.
-- Update the coding standards guide
-
-
-wxEvents
-========
-
-- Change Idle Handling
-    Current Implementation is using too many CPU cycles
-
-- Loose Coupling Event-Source Event-Sink
-    kind of the NextStep/C# very performant coupling, exposing events via
-    Metadata
-
-- Add Lazy Init of Eventtables
-
-
-Modules/Plugins
-===============
-
-Architecture
-------------
-
-We aim to arrive at a lazy initialization of modules only when they are first 
-needed. Dependency information between modules is needed. Dynamic Plug-In
-loading and unloading must be compatible with that.
-
-
-wxUniversal
-===========
-
-- Renderers within native ports.
-
-
-wxPrinting
-==========
-
-- Page preflighting capabilities in order to determine number
-  of pages.
-- Preview UI enhancement.
-
-
-wxStaticBox
-===========
-
-Hide the platform problems (GTK: 'children' must be siblings) in encapsulation 
-in order to avoid problems on ports where the hierarchy must be
-'correct'.
-
-
-Removal of old code
-===================
-
-In addition to wxCOMPATIBILITY code:
-
-- contrib/src/mmedia
-- contrib/src/applet?
-- Dialog Editor
-
-wxMiscellaneous
-===============
-
-- wxDC Support for point to char-position with text rendering
-- wxLocale Extension (eg Currency)
-- wxStreams review
-- wxURL?
-- a way to tell wxWidgets to check for any non-portable usage,
-  for a given set of platforms. Sometimes you want to be able
-  to get away with non-portable usage, and sometimes not.
-  This is probably way too time-consuming to implement.
-- In headers, don't silently omit contents if the features for this
-  header is switched off. Instead, emit an error message.
-- Implement native tree view and colour dialog in wxGTK.
-- Better way to specify About, Preferences menu ids under wxMac.
-- Must be able to portably specify relaying out a frame after the toolbar
-  has been destroyed or recreated. On wxMSW, this is done in
-  ~wxToolBar. On wxGTK, in SetToolBar. In wxMac, not at all,
-  but sending a wxSizeEvent will do it.
-- Need wxRect wxToolBar::GetToolRect(int id) or similar so we can
-  align a popup menu with a toolbar button.
-- wxMac font selector dialog is the generic font selector -
-  horrible.
-- No Append(wxArrayString&) for wxChoice and wxComboBox in wxGTK.
-  Probably other functions too. Consider adding Insert to
-  these classes, as per the patch on SF.
-- Rewrite wxFileHistory using wxString and wxArrayString, and
-  put in separate file.
-- Add wxArrayString methods to wxTextValidator and any other
-  class that needs them.
-- Add wxNotebook::GetTabRect or similar so we can estimate
-  page size better in wxNotebookBase::CalcSizeFromPage.
-- Add function to clear all wxNotebook tabs without
-  destroying the pages.
-- Add individual setters to wxScrollBar and other classes
-  that use a combined setter.
-- Remove traces of old resource system from wxWizard.
-- Have wxDirCtrl as alias for wxGenericDirCtrl.
-- Allow instant reaction to left-up in a wxGrid cell
-  (extend editor API) to work around bad checkbox
-  behaviour (click, click, click, click away...) and
-  reduce checkbox size on non-Windows platforms.
-- Add wxNotebook::HitTest for non-Windows platforms.
-- Implement rebar for all platforms. This will help us
-  get closer to native look and feel, e.g. the gradient
-  shadow on XP toolbars.
