Adding for completeness...
The main changes since 2.7.1 are listed below; also, Core Graphics support for wxMac has been radically improved.
We would be grateful for testing as we work towards a 2.8.0 candidate release on 13th November.
Thanks,
The wxWidgets Team
2.7.2
-----
All:
- Added wxFFile overload to wxFileName::CreateTemporaryFileName().
- Added wxBackingFile and wxBackedInputStream.
- Added GetTempDir() to wxFileName and wxStandardPaths.
- Added wxTar streams.
- Added wxFilterFSHandler and wxArchiveFSHandler.
- Added wxString::ToLongLong() and ToULongLong()
All (GUI):
- wxMemoryDC constructor now optionally accepts a wxBitmap parameter, calling SelectObject itself if a valid bitmap is passed.
- Reverted wxBuffered[Paint]DC to pre 2.7.1 state, added wxAutoBufferedPaintDC and wxAutoBufferedPaintDCFactory.
- Renamed wxProgressDialog::UpdatePulse() to just Pulse().
- Added wxCollapsiblePane (Francesco Montorsi).
- Added wxSimpleHtmlListBox (Francesco Montorsi).
- Printing framework fixes by Robert J. Lang. Bugs fixed, wxPrinterDC::GetPaperRect() and other functions added to allow easier printing implementation, and the documentation updated.
- Many enhancements to wxRichTextCtrl including URL support, formatting and symbol dialogs, print/preview, and better list formatting.
- Support for loading TGA files added (Seth Jackson)
- Added wxTB_RIGHT style for right-aligned toolbars (Igor Korot)

wxGTK:
- More RTL work.

Hello,
Just to let you know I fail to compile wxWidgets with OpenWatcom 1.5

I assume this a problem with OpenWatcom 1.5 STL support, which I know to be poor...
For you information, I did not encounter such problems with wxWidgets 2.7.1 and same version of Open Watcom.
EDIT : Maybe this should have been posted in the "Compiler / Linking / IDE Related"
Please feel free to move my post to the relevant section
