Version 0.6.0 Editor backwards compatible?

[kokemohr]

Hi,

as I posted earlier I have been trying to find sufficient information to build CEGUI 0.6.0 for Code::Blocks. As that didn't work, I tried to compile my program using Virtual C++, both 2005 and 2008. Both left me without the Ogre debug log window and I couldn't figure out how to get the Ogre::FileStreamDataStream to work.

So I am back at Code::Blocks using the last release of CEGUI which leads me to the question: Did the file format change between the two versions? Can I load sheets saved with the 0.6.0-Editor?

Thanks in advance,
Lars

Hi,

sorry to read about your compiling troubles. About the backwards compatibility: you can load files with an earlier version of Cegui, since no important changes have been made in this area. Since the xml files rely on the property system, which is very generic, the worst that could happen is a newly introduced property would not exist in 0.5 for example. In which case you could always edit a file by hand and remove the offending line.

HTH.
