What is the difference between wxMSW and wxALL?

[Dave Bee]

OK - I started researching this myself: I downloaded both packages and compared. The results are interesting. For example, the ALL version, the file CHANGES.txt says:

- Fixed wxChoice/wxComboBox slow appending and infinite recursion
  if its size is set within a paint handler (for example when embedded in a
  wxHtmlWindow).

While in the MSW version, it says:

- Fixed wxChoice/wxComboBox slow appending and infinite recursion
  if its size is set within a paint handler (for example when embedded in a
  wxHtmlWindow). [Now reverted due to problems in W2K and below.]

Also, the ALL version does not contain the files INSTALL-MSW.txt and README-MSW, so I was wrong in initially concluding that wxALL includes support for MS-Windows.

So, it seems that wxMSW is indeed somewhat more polished and for development targeted at specifically for MS-Windows, it is better to use the wxMSW version, if only to save unnecessary trouble.

Additional comments are welcome.

I wonder however whether wxMSW includes anything *additional* (to wxALL) that makes it "more friendly" to developing on Windows (e.g. more polished .dsp project files, MS-Windows specific documentation, etc.)?

Or is it identical exactly? (I know the source must be identical, right?)

Thanks,
Dave

P.S. I am referring of course to the latest stable release, 2.6.3.
