hm... that doesn't really explain visibility though.

After a bit of grepping:
wxArrayString is of public visibility and comes inlined from the header. Is this a weak symbol (which I assume)? If so, I assume very much that this is ABI safe (as to my best knowledge about c++, it would then get defined again as a weak symbol in any binary where it cannot get inlined).

I couldn't find any clues about wxTreeTextCtrl::Finish() though; I have
the suspicion that this is built via some macros from somewhere.
Visibility would still be highly interesting here, as this is in
particular not a weak symbol. Having this changed, and publically
visible would mean that nonetheless the ABI changed, and a SONAME bump
together with rebuilding rdepends would be highly recommended.

Now, I'm entirely unsure, if we should go for a transition of wx2.8
depending packages or not. Can you attach a changelog of wx? (I've
quickly grepped the diff, and could only find a changelog for parts of
wx, which added some features, but I must admit I didn't relook too hard
for a changelog right now).
