Peter,
I always admire the work you are doing on winbuilder, and yes it is still fun to me being in boot-land.
And from my point of view your idea for
System,COMPATIBILITY,{74|76}
should be ending the current discussion.
All applications upgrades to a new version which is mostly uncompatible to previous
old school rule (i know lots of example that breaks this rule)
v1 never compatible for v2 created files
v1 and v2 never compatible for v3 created files.
Compatibility goes through version and/or build numbers. ex: v1.1, v1.23 , v2.32.43 build 0456
With advantage of Peter psc being developer winbuilder having
System,COMPATIBILITY,{74|76}
breaks the old school rule and makes a fantastic direct connection between versions
.
But that has been a total disaster.
---> so far i know, it was a total success for LiveXP
. Upgrading from 074 to 075nightly decided after new api requirements and as you know livexp074 packed and saved before doing that
.
So as i wrote several times before, things done one by one for livexp and we had greaaaaaaaat fun when doing that, also it helped you a lot to find new bugies on wb,
And as it was named beta
, we never complain much as others with stable.
And reminding: LiveXP never used lately nightly build to catch up,maybe 6 or 7 beta upgrade made all for a good reason.
Also when new user side version problem happened, we put a button on the script.project and a tutorial on boot-land which solved all complains --> never reported a wb version problem again
Only problem was you complaining us using beta !!! We accept the risks you introduced, just disobeyed a rule of you for nightly betas which Medevil obeyed (now MedEvil need to do all at once.)
Anyway, agreeing with you or not over some various cases, i still love you peter
. You definately have a style of doing things and resulting improvements are very satisfactory not forgetting all done for fun
.
Personally
for Medevil case, if it was me, i was satisfied System,COMPATIBILITY , so it is easier to convince me.
But also it is Just a bit hard fun to convince you getting from point A to B , sometimes months pass but as you know we always come to B
