Hi all,

in the upcoming version 2.11 we will retire the old exchange format
referred to as DXF 1. In the new version we have completed the
implementation of DXF 2, which is a more modern and robust exchange format.

The reasons why we will remove DXF 1 support are:

- Name uniqueness on several objects have been removed. DXF 1 is matching
objects on name during import, which is no longer safe.
- It is confusing to end users to deal with two different formats.
- The complexity of the code-base can be reduced.

Please note that this only affects exchange of meta-data, like data
elements and organisation units. Exchange of data values (records) have
been using DXF 2 since version 2.9.

So in effect this means that if you need to exchange meta-data, either all
systems involved must be on version 2.11, or all systems involved must be
on version 2.10 or earlier.


regards,

Lars
