Because this development is not related to wxSmith, but the conversion to wx29.

It's important for wxSmith because users (and we) are going to want to use the funky new controls that it brings and to do that we need to build wxSmith with 2.9. I've made a start on getting it to work with the 2.9 version but there's more to do, yet.
Some things in CB's code need to change due to deprecated or missing functions, etc. I'll keep chipping away at that and I'm happy to contribute whatever comes out if it to the greater good. I know Tim's made some progress, too, so we should make sure that the work isn't lost. A new branch would seem to be a good way to do it.

But Cryogen wants to change things in wxSmith -> add controls, so both branches would change wxSmith.
Also the wx2.9 branch should work with 2.8, because wx3.0 won't be released this year for sure and there are people on old linux distros, which won't have it...

But wx2.9 makes too many incompatible changes, starting with the wxString changes. It is meant to allow to transition code to wx3.0. I wouldn't trust it to work well with wx2.8... unless one fills the source code with version macros.
oBFusCATed:
It is already filled with them...

Is C::B working on your linux when using wx2.9?
I'm trying to see what is going on with wx2.9 and I get a crash in CC :(
What about making this topic a sticky one, so I don't waste 10 minutes searching for the wx2.9 porting topic (if this is the correct topic of course).
