Both wxWidgets 2.8 and 2.9 are supported, just that the API
was originally exported from wx 2.6.4 so that's the lowest
denominator and starting point, while 2.8.12 is the "stable".

In 2011 (with 0.16), the code was updated to work with wx 2.9
and dmd 2.054 - in addition to previous wx 2.8 and dmd 1.030
(it "should" still work with wx 2.6 and dmd 1.020 too, afaik)

If no other concerns, then pick 2.8.12 (the "Current Stable")
Supporting 2.6 was mostly for DMC, and 2.9 was mostly for Cocoa.


Maybe one would want to regenerate the D API for wxWidgets 3.0,
but should work fine without - similar to "WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_*"

i.e. currently exported API:
http://wxd.sourceforge.net/wxWidgets-2.6.4/docs/html/wx/wx_classref.html

vs. the latest available API:
http://docs.wxwidgets.org/trunk/page_class_cat.html (from the svn trunk)
