//     of new attribute to control handler is _not_ incompatible change, because
//     older versions of the library may ignore it.
//   - if you change version number, follow these steps:
//       - set major, minor and release numbers to respective version numbers of
//         the wxWidgets library (see wx/version.h)
//       - reset revision to 0 unless the first three are same as before,
//         in which case you should increase revision by one
