+\section{Backward compatibility}\label{backwardcompatibility}
Many of the GUIs and platforms supported by wxWidgets are continuously
evolving, and some of the new platforms wxWidgets now supports were quite
interface that is reasonably stable over time, to help protect its users
from some of the uncertainty of the future.
-{\large {\bf The version numbering scheme}}\label{versionnumbering}
+\subsection{The version numbering scheme}\label{versionnumbering}
wxWidgets version numbers can have up to four components, with trailing
zeros sometimes omitted:
many applications will require no changes or only small changes to work
with the new version.
-{\large {\bf Source level compatibility}}\label{sourcecompatibility}
+\subsection{Source level compatibility}\label{sourcecompatibility}
Later releases from a stable branch are backward compatible with earlier
releases from the same branch at the {\em source} level.
incompatible with some future version of wxWidgets, and you should consider
updating it.
-{\large {\bf Library binary compatibility}}\label{libbincompatibility}
+\subsection{Library binary compatibility}\label{libbincompatibility}
For some platforms, releases from a stable branch are not only source level
compatible but can also be {\em binary compatible}.
the required versions {\tt 2.6.0}, {\tt 2.6.1} and {\tt 2.6.2} must be
installed side by side.
-Archiving this, without the user being required to have the source code
+Achieving this, without the user being required to have the source code
and recompile everything, places many extra constraints on the changes

+that can be made within the stable branch. So it is not supported for all
platforms, and not for all versions of wxWidgets. To date it has mainly
been supported by wxGTK for UNIX-like platforms.
compilers do not produce code compatible with each other, and often even
different versions of the same compiler are not compatible.
-{\large {\bf Application binary compatibility}}\label{appbincompatibility}
+\subsection{Application binary compatibility}\label{appbincompatibility}
The most important aspect of binary compatibility is that applications
compiled with one version of wxWidgets, e.g. {\tt 2.6.1}, continue to work
