Where certain\nfeatures are not available on a platform, such as MDI and tree\ncontrols on Unix, they are emulated.\n\nA detailed 2000-page reference manual is supplied in HTML, PDF\nand Windows Help form: see the docs hierarchy.\n\nFor a quick start, point your Web browser at docs/html/index.htm\nfor a list of important documents and samples.\n\nReleases in the 2.7 series are considered development releases,\nand as such, each new release may contain significant new\nfeatures or code changes which have not yet received thorough\ntesting and/or may break ABI or API compatibility with previous\nreleases. Therefore, we recommend that you keep this in mind if\nyou are to base your software on a 2.7 release, and thoroughly\ntest the parts of the wx library your application uses.  Rest\nassured however that these potentially incompatible changes are\nmade in order to evolve the toolkit to the next ABI stable\nrelease series (2.8.x) and that normally efforts are made to\npreserve compilation compatibility, so often moving to a new\ndevelopment release just requires a full recompile of the\napplication using wxWidgets.\n\n\nChanges in this release\n-----------------------\n\nPlease see changes.txt and \"Changes since 2.6\" in the manual\nfor details.\n\nPlatforms supported\n-------------------\n\nwxWidgets currently supports the following platforms:\n\n- Windows 95/98/ME, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP,\n  Pocket PC, Smartphone\n- Most Unix variants with GTK+ 1 and GTK+ 2\n- Most Unix variants with X11 (beta)\n- Most Unix variants with Motif/Lesstif\n- MacOS 9.x and 10.x using Carbon (10.3 and above preferred)\n- MacOS 10.x using Cocoa (beta)\n- OS/2 (beta)\n- PalmOS (alpha)\n\nMost popular C++ compilers are supported; see the install.txt\nfile for each platform (available via docs/html/index.htm) for details.\nSee also http://www.wxwidgets.org/platform.htm.\n\nNote that 2.6 series were the last to fully support GTK+ 1.2, and Mac OS\n9/Mac OS 10.2 and below. wxWidgets 2.7 and above focuses on GTK+ 2 and Mac OS\n10.3 and above and compatibility with earlier systems is not guaranteed any\nmore.\n\nFiles\n-----\n\nThe distribution is available in archive formats appropriate to the\ntarget system. See the download pages for details.\n\nInstallation\n------------\n\nwxWidgets needs to be compiled before you can test out the samples\nor write your own applications. For installation information, please\nsee the install.txt file in the individual directories:\n\n  docs/msw\n  docs/gtk\n  docs/motif\n  docs/mac\n  docs/cocoa\n  docs/x11\n  docs/mgl\n  docs/os2\n  docs/palmos\n\nLicence information\n-------------------\n\nFor licensing information, please see the files:\n\n  docs/preamble.txt\n  docs/licence.txt\n  docs/licendoc.txt\n  docs/gpl.txt\n  docs/lgpl.txt\n\nAlthough this may seem complex, it is there to allow authors of\nproprietary/commercial applications to use wxWidgets in addition\nto those writing GPL'ed applications. In summary, the licence is\nLGPL plus a clause allowing unrestricted distribution of\napplication binaries. To answer a FAQ, you don't have to\ndistribute any source if you wish to write commercial\napplications using wxWidgets. \n\nHowever, if you distribute wxGTK or wxMotif (with Lesstif)\nversion of your application, don't forget that it is linked\nagainst GTK+ (or Lesstif) which is covered by LGPL *without*\nexception notice. Under Linux systems your app is probably linked\nagainst LGPL glibc as well. Please read carefully LGPL, section\n6. which describes conditions for distribution of closed source\napplications linked against LGPL library. Basically you should\nlink dynamically and include source code of LGPL libraries with\nyour product (unless it is already present in user's system -\nlike glibc usually is). If compiled with --enable-odbc (Unix\nonly), wxWidgets library will contain iODBC library which is\ncovered by LGPL.\n\nIf you use TIFF image handler, please see src/tiff/COPYRIGHT\nfor libtiff licence details.\n\nIf you use JPEG image handler, documentation for your program\nshould contain following sentence: \"This software is based in\npart on the work of the Independent JPEG Group\". See\nsrc/jpeg/README for details.\n\nIf you use wxRegEx class on a system without native regular\nexpressions support (i.e. MS Windows), see src/regex/COPYRIGHT\nfile for Henry Spencer's regular expression library copyright.\n\nIf you use wxXML classes or XRC, see src/expat/COPYING for licence details.\n\nDocumentation\n-------------\n\nSee docs/html/index.htm for an HTML index of the major documents.\n\nSee docs/changes.txt for a summary of changes to wxWidgets.\n\nSee docs/tech for an archive of technical notes.\n\nThe wxWidgets bug database can be browsed at:\n\n  http://sourceforge.net/bugs/?group_id=9863\n\nThe Windows HTML Help files are located in docs/htmlhelp.\nThe Windows Help files are located in docs/winhelp.\nThe PDF help files are located in docs/pdf.\nThe HTB (wxWidgets HTML Help) files are located in docs/htb.\n\nFurther information\n-------------------\n\nThe wxWidgets Web site is located at:\n\n  http://www.wxwidgets.org\n\nThe main wxWidgets ftp site is at:\n\n  ftp://biolpc22.york.ac.uk/pub\n\nA wxWidgets CD-ROM with the latest distribution plus an HTML\nfront-end and hundreds of MB of compilers, utilities and other\nmaterial may be ordered from the CD-ROM page: see the wxWidgets\nweb site.\n\nHave fun!\n\nThe wxWidgets Team, September 2005"}}
