Kry if you are part of the wx dev team perhaps you could tell me what the future of wx will be (if you know) :)
I stopped using wx because it was full of bugs and nobody cared on the bug tracker. I had the impression that there was no "maintainer" and everyone just fixed bugs if they occured in their (commercial) apps. I didn´t want to use an open-source project if people do only work for bounties of several hundred dollars. And this "do it yourself or STFU" thing doesn´t apply to open-source projects which want to be successful, IMHO.
But this was over a year ago and perhaps something has changed since then. Or is it still the same?
And also wx is using very outdated technology. When I started to use it (in 2001 maybe) there was a discussion about moving to std support. But now we´re in 2006 and there is no sign of wx 3.0. And templates are supported by every major compiler, now. When I stopped using wx (in favor of qt) I was of the opinion that this wouldn´t change because nobody worked on the infrastructure.Are there concrete plans?

regards

Michael

I would also like to know how wxWidgets compares to Qt. When I was quickly looking around for cross platform toolkit I could try to learn Qt seamed to be the best. Simple and powerfull. And seeing how great it is used in KDE desktop I decided to go with it. Oh by the way is there some Qt/KDE backend for rendering for wxWidgets. aMule seams a bit out of place on KDE desktop :)

Two patches for wxWidgets 2.6.3 were recently released:

http://www.wxwidgets.org/patch.htm

One of them is for Windows only, the other affects GTK, too.

Assuming that I would package and distribute wxWidgets in binary form, would you recommend applying these?
