It won’t be that easy to switch to wx3.1:
* They added (previously non-existing) overlay code. It does basically work but is slow as hell - and quite different from the overlay patch we have. I didn’t have time yet to see whether it is more easy to fix or just replace by our patch (which is also in the bug tracker, don’t know why they didn’t take it as is).
* Currently all dialogs don’t close when you hit enter in a text box. I also didn’t have time to investigate… :(

And still some other patches needed (e.g., Retina support).


Regards,
Bernhard
