Tell me if it is possible to somehow update wxWidgets 3.2.4 to wxWidgets 3.2.5 Win 64? On the Linux platform, this has already been done for Fedora packages.
8.0.4 will use wxWidgets 3.2.5
Does this apply to all platforms? Thanks!
Ubuntu PPAs might be lagging behind, but for other officially-supported platforms it does apply.
Regarding Fedora: F40 uses wx 3.2.4, while Rawhide (and the eventual F41) have wx 3.2.5.
Why do you want to update wx 3.2.4 to 3.2.5 on Windows?
It’ll be updated in kicad 8.0.4
there were several errors and artifacts in the graphic image and as far as I understand these are errors of the wx library.
Which errors and artifacts?
they are all in gitlab. It is strange that in Linux flat pack assemblies they have already been updated to version 3.2.6 as the simulator to version 43 … For the Win and Ubuntu platforms there is none.
Indeed, there are many bug reports on GitLab, but such a statement is not very helpful.
Some bugs are unlikely to get fixed if they cannot be reproduced, for example.
It’s not strange. Flatpaks just tend to update their dependencies faster.

If you absolutely have to, you can run the Flatpak version of KiCad in WSL in Windows, see the example here:

I use new versions for testing for errors but the problem is that errors on different platforms can be different I would like to see the same versions of libraries for Windows and Linux. After detecting an error I have to run the flat pack package to check and this does not guarantee full reproduction since some bugs are related to a specific platform and not to the version of the libraries
This wish is unrealistic. Different ecosystems etc. This is the same for all software on the planet. You test for different OS versions etc. and accept there are bugs on some that you can’t fix (or have to wait for).
here the question is not in different versions of the OS but in different versions of the libraries… I don’t really understand why in one case you can use 3.2.6 and 43 and in another 3.2.5 and 42. This also applies to test builds within the same release… For example, I can use flatpack on any Linux system, just like the db package, but they will have different libraries.
If you rebuild and repackage KiCad yourself, you could try any library version you want.
if you compile immediately in the test branch on new libraries, then you don’t need to recompile anything yourself, but you can do testing without a zoo of packages and platforms…
