The UTF-16 version is the "unicode" version provided in the Debian package. I believe 2.8 and its UTF-16 build labelled simply "unicode" has been the source of build problems described in the forum. We were previously using 2.8 ANSI in anticipation of getting to UTF-8 without going through UTF-16 hell. We cannot compile with UTF-16.<br/><br/>2.9 has only one version, UTF-8. On Windows, we set the codepage to UTF-8, so on all platforms our code is UTF-8 and wxWidgets interfaces with us in UTF-8. On Linux I assume the codepage is already UTF-8. By standardizing on 2.9 we avoid the multi-build confusion of 2.8, and we need 2.9 for UTF-8 internationalization.<br/><br/>Make sure you read build-unix.txt and configure wxWidgets using the configure parameters given.<br/><br/>Curious, why is it incredibly hard to provide wxWidgets 2.9.0? If you mean for users, that's why we static link it.<br/><br/>It's unfortunate that we require so many big dependencies, but we need them all. At least on Debian/Ubuntu, all but wxWidgets are available as packages. Eventually they'll provide a 2.9 package.</div>
