About:
wxWidgets is a cross-platform C++ GUI library, offering classes for all common GUI controls as well as a comprehensive set of helper classes for most common application tasks, ranging from networking to HTML display and image manipulation. wxWidgets uses native widgets on all platforms whenever possible and fills missing gaps on some platforms using generic controls written with wxWidgets itself.

Release focus: Minor bugfixes

Changes:
Various minor problems with the latest GTK+ versions have been fixed since the last minor release. Other improvements include those to the wrappers for the GNOME print dialogs, the wxAUI docking library, and the wxRichTextCtrl. Several display problems of wxListCtrl in connection with newer GTK+ themes and rare scrolling issues have been fixed. Scrolling wxStaticTexts and improved mouse wheel scrolling have been fixed. A problem with wxSpinCtrl::SetValue that slipped in before the last release was corrected.
