Yes, the suggestion was that they have to install 3.16 if they want the saved statistics to be converted to the new sqlite based database. Because of bad design descicions pre 3.15 we have to keep a copy of all lesson files that was changed during the 3.14 releases. This is 519 lesson files that are 147 kB kompressed og 3.4MB uncompressed. I also need to keep the code that does the conversion, approx. 230 lines of python. At some point this code has to go, because this is just one more thing to test. But I guess it is possible to keep it some more stable releases, for example until 3.20 or 3.22. There seems to be about two new stable branches each year. > > greetings! > tarmo > >> >> > -- Tom Cato Amundsen <[email protected]> http://www.solfege.org/ GNU Solfege - free ear training http://www.gnu.org/software/solfege/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
