Vadim Zeitlin ff06e12ceb Remove unused and outdates samples/Info.plist file
This file was added in 4d524cdd0e a long
time ago but doesn't seem to have been ever actually used for anything
and is outdated, e.g. contains LSRequiresCarbon=true, which shouldn't be
used any longer.

Remove the file itself and all references to it.

All about wxWidgets Version Numbers

Where to update the version numbers

There are several places in the wxWidgets source tree that define the version number for the library.

The script misc/scripts/inc_release can be used for incrementing the release field of the version, i.e. changing 2.8.x to 2.8.x+1 but it does not take care of version.bkl and can't be used for changing the other version components, this needs to be done manually. It also doesn't update version.bkl file which always needs to be updated manually, follow the instructions there.

Here is the list of files that need to be updated:

build/bakefiles/version.bkl {C:R:A}          [NOT UPDATED AUTOMATICALLY]
build/bakefiles/wxpresets/presets/wx.bkl     [NOT UPDATED AUTOMATICALLY]
configure.in
build/osx/wxvers.xcconfig
docs/changes.txt
docs/readme.txt (date needs manual editing)  [NOT UPDATED AUTOMATICALLY]
docs/doxygen/Doxyfile (PROJECT_NUMBER and DOCSET_FEEDNAME)
docs/doxygen/mainpages/manual.h (just date)  [NOT UPDATED AUTOMATICALLY]
docs/msw/install.txt {major release only}
include/wx/version.h
include/wx/osx/config_xcode.h
samples/docview/Info.plist
samples/minimal/Info_carbon.plist
samples/minimal/Info_cocoa.plist
samples/minimal/borland_ide.cpp {major release only}

Do not forget to rebake everything after updating version.bkl!

When to update the version numbers

Version should be updated immediately after releasing the previous version so that the sources in the repository always correspond to the next release and not the past one.
