Is there a document that shows all of the XTP toolkit C++ class signature changes or function renaming from version to version?

The C++ language designers have left a nice hole that C# and I believe Java have covered requiring the override keyword when truly overriding a derived implementation of the same signature, and the virtual keyword for introducing an overloaded name with a completely new signature.

Small changes like parameter type change from WORD to DWORD like here https://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1467&KW=signature - https://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1467&KW=signature

and even renamed function like here https://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12033&KW=signature - https://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12033&KW=signature

The former is critical, but the latter can be just as bad if our code does not "call back" to the now non-existent override.

We have just upgraded from XTP V10 to V13. It builds, but you never know with potential major issues described here.
