46 // attribute to control handler is _not_ incompatible change, because older

48 // - if you change version number, follow these steps:
49 // - set major, minor and release numbers to respective version numbers of
50 // the wxWindows library (see wx/version.h)
51 // - reset revision to 0 unless the first three are same as before, in which
