According to wxWindows developers, the "stable" version will not have=20
any more features added to it. The "development" version is beeing=20
worked on permanently and may, in fact, have fewer bugs that the=20
so-called "stable" version. I have been using version 2.3.2 under=20
Linux for over four months now, and have installed the system I=20
developed in a rather large production environment (100+ users)=20
without any problems. Many of the new features are needed by my=20
system, and I now have to port it to Windows.

I agree that version 2.2.9 works fine if used outside of Dev-C++ 5,=20
but will not behave correctly when the project grows beyond one=20
source file and dialogs are created. I posted another message related=20
to this subject a few minutes ago. I can compile the same project=20
(with my own makefile) outside of Dev-C++ and it will compile=20
correctly, using 2.2.9 (minus features) and 2.3.2 (with features=20
enabled).

Just as you have made your point about using Delphi to develop=20
Dev-C++, I think, with all due respect, that we should be allowed to=20
use wxWindows 2.3.2 or future versions, if we find we need the new=20
features. If you would point out the way as to how to build a package=20
for Dev-C++, I will look into it.

Thank you and best regards.
