This page represents current thinking about where wxWindows is going in the near,
|
|
|
|
|
medium and long-term. It also serves as a schedule for new releases so
|
|
|
|
|
that both developers and users can know what to expect when, at least approximately.<P>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note (1): as the wxWindows effort is voluntary, these are not hard-and-fast deadlines:
|
|
|
|
|
but we will endeavour to follow them as closely as possible.<P>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note (2): the releases described are for wxGTK, wxMSW and wxMotif ports. wxMac currently follows
|
|
|
|
|
its own development path. Also, minor snapshot releases for specific platforms may be
|
|
|
|
|
available at dates convenient to the developers.<P>

is split into base and GUI libraries.

and GUI (classes and functions usable by GUI application only).

|
|
|
|
|
that can handle multiple formats).
