Thanks

What I proposed was adding a reference to announce.txt, then
inserting the following material on the web site [1]:

[start]
No guarantee of ABI or API compatibility is given between 2.7 and 2.6, or
between different releases of the 2.7 series. You should thus expect that
if your program compiles under one version of wx 2.7, it may well not
compile under a subsequent version of 2.7. If you want to guarantee your
program will always compile and run, then you may either need to ship it
with a particular snapshot of 2.7, OR perhaps 2.7 is not for you, and you
should use 2.6 instead. 2.7 has also received less testing than 2.6, and
many of its features are newer; if this worries you, then consider using
2.6 instead. We do not encourage 2.7 to be put into distributions. This is
because it is still under active development, and the API between versions
may change. On the other hand, 2.7 contains many features and indeed
bug-fixes that are not present in 2.6.

[1] = I am now wondering whether it would be better in docs/readme.txt,
or perhaps both.

Feel free to fix my English etc.
