What is the problem?
Files are the same (not considering the FB build version date).

The only issue is that the project file [1] fails to open with wxFB3.5-RC1 [2]
which is recommended in the documentation [3]. wxFB complains about about file
version [4]. The file opens without any problem with wxFB version 3.8.

Hello,

Some wxFormBuilder projects files in the source code are incompatible with the
wxFormBuilder version currently recommended in the documentation [1]. One
example of such a file is [2]. This file has been created with wxFormBuilder
v3.8.1, as evidenced by the version date in the .cpp file generated by it [3].
The documentation needs to be updated in order to remove misleading information
about wxFormBuilder version.
