On Mac the preferences are in a separate directory for every major release too. 2014 I added the feature to create a copy of previous major releases automatically if they’re present as first step of the configure process. Not all developers were friends of this change - so I made it limited to platform darwin (Mac OS X). If you’re interested in doing likewise on Windows too it shouldn’t be impossible. That way the old major release and the new one exists in parallel - exactly the same as without the additional copy step. Stephan
