FYI the next version of Scintilla 3.0 will be a big one. The problem
is that it is mostly about platform-related changes and our platform
is ofcourse wxWidgets :)

  I plan to make some large-scale changes, mostly to the platform
interface in the near future.

  1) On Windows, it will be possible to choose between GDI graphics
(the current state) and Direct2D / DirectWrite. DirectWrite is only
available on Windows Vista and later. This feature has been prototyped
in the directSci branch.
https://bitbucket.org/nyamatongwe/directsci/overview

  2) Sub-pixel character positioning will be used on platforms that
support this, including Mac OS X Cocoa and Windows DirectWrite. This
is also in the prototype.

  3) Support for GDK drawing will be removed from the GTK+ platform
layer and all drawing will be performed with Cairo.

  4) The Carbon platform layer for Mac OS X will be removed. The
Cocoa platform layer should be used instead.

  Some people may need to continue using GDK or Carbon and, if this
is the case, then it may be sensible to have a public repository where
others with similar needs can cooperate.

  This seems like a big change to me so it may be called Scintilla
3.0 instead of 2.30.

  Neil
