When I complain about a problem with version 2.2.9, almost invariably=20
the advise is "This has been fixed in 2.3.2. Please upgrade.". So I=20

In my particular case, I develop accounting systems. I use MySQL for=20
the large system and Xbase for our "light" version. In both cases,=20
beeing able to limit the amount of text that goes into a one-line=20
wxTextCtrl and tie it to the length of the field in the table is very=20
important. Version 2.3.2 now has a SetMaxLength method and an=20
EVT_TEXT_MAXLEN event that are very important. I could do this under=20
2.2.9 but it was very convoluted.

Additionally, things like wxWindow->SetFocus() work the way they are=20
supposed to now, and many more. I also use wxDesigner for Linux and=20
Windows, and it has support for version 2.3.2.

Other people may think other things are most important, but these are=20
but a few that I care most about.

Thank you. Regards.
