 for more details, but here are some of the most important changes:
 
-- New wxWebRequest and related classes provide a simple way to use HTTPS and

-- Support EGL in wxGLCanvas and Wayland in wxMediaCtrl under Linux.
-- Many appearance and other fixes for macOS 11.
-- More improvements to wxGrid UI, API and performance.
-- wxImage improvements: add alpha support in Paste() and clipboard support.
-- API additions: wxPersistentComboBox, wxFileName::ResolveLink(),
-  wxFileHistory::SetMenuPathStyle(), wxString::utf8_string(), wxEVT_FULLSCREEN.
-- Improvements: wxConfig now supports 64-bit integers, wxLog uses millisecond
-  resolution in timestamps, XRC files can be loaded from URLs.
-- Yet more bug fixes, fixes for API inconsistencies and optimizations, notably
-  in wxDataViewCtrl, wxListCtrl, wxPropertyGrid.
+- New wxBitmapBundle class allowing to provide art work for both normal and
