Yeah, we made some recent changes (8 months?) in the EquationSystems IO support, and it would be good to look there to see how the compatibility is handled. The approach I took, which is open to discussion, is to stamp the file with its version (as it is already done) and then increment the #ifndef LIBMESH_IO_COMPATIBILITY_VERSION #define LIBMESH_IO_COMPATIBILITY_VERSION "0.7.4" #endif macro. The general approach is then that the data would always written, but conditionally read based on IO_COMPATIBILTY_VERSION. e.g. bump the version to 0.9.3 and read the data if the version is >= to that. But this is what has been done in the past, I'm open to process suggestions/improvements. -Ben ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Libmesh-devel mailing list Libmesh-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/libmesh-devel
