wxWidgets 2.9.3 RC 1 / 2.9.2

wxWidgets lets developers create applications for Win32, Mac OS X, GTK+, X11, Motif, WinCE, and more using one codebase.

wxWidgets can be used from languages such as C++, C#/.NET, Python, and Perl. Unlike other cross-platform toolkits, wxWidgets applications look and feel native.

This is because wxWidgets uses the platform's own native controls rather than emulating them. It's also extensive, free, open-source, and mature.

wxWidgets gives you a single, easy-to-use API for writing GUI applications on multiple platforms that still utilize the native platform's controls and utilities.

Link with the appropriate library for your platform (Windows/Unix/Mac, others coming shortly) and compiler (almost any popular C++ compiler), and your application will adopt the look and feel appropriate to that platform.

On top of great GUI functionality, wxWidgets gives you: online help, network programming, streams, clipboard and drag and drop, multithreading, image loading and saving in a variety of popular formats, database support, HTML viewing and printing, and much much more.

NOTE: wxWidgets is licensed under the terms of the wxWindows Library Licence.

· including many standard headers (again, only with this compiler).
