I think most people are saying use wx 2.8.4 because of all the bugs in wx 2.8.3.

I could swear I've seen a bunch that say upgrade to 2.8.4, because some things don't work right in 2.6.3

There are some things that work better in wx 2.8.4, but most of them are not items considered bugs in 2.6.3.
Bugs implies they were supposed to work in 2.6.3. Many things on Macs never worked right in 2.6 branch and where never claimed to work right for Macs, that are claimed to work somewhat at least in 2.8 branch.

Hi
I couldn't answer ealier, have limited access to the Internet.
Sorry for breaking wx 2.6 build. I forgot about this option.
It's rather hard for me to test wx 2.6 (I compile sources using wx 2.8 in PCH and non-PCH mode which is already time-consuming), so can anybody check whether there are some other files which doesn't compile on 2.6?

BYO

That's the only one - I only compile in wx26, so I can easily tell... ;-)

I think so far one of the main drivers to keep wx26 compatibility was because wx284 (which fixes serious bugs) was not available on all (Linux) platforms. I don't know how the status is now.
With regards, Morten.

wxWidgets provides the debian/ubuntu package on their website.
Maybe we could do a poll and see how many users do not have wx provided by them by their distro?
And ofcourse we could consider providing a binary ourselves for Gentoo/FC and the other builds that we have nightlies for?
