I'm strictly against being backward compatible, it kills progress, development and prevents to write good quality code.In some extend I agree with your point. But we do not want to conserve design flaws for the sake of compatibility, like the A20 Gate [1] was. That was a night mare. Tryton has some maturity in between, and on the frontend you mostly add functionality. Of course the development focus should not be to be compatible to ancient version. On the other hand, there is no rationale to be version compatible unless there is really a hard reason to it. Having the latest GUI connecting to one or two previous versions would at least ease the life of the end user.
If you want you can install concurrent version together and through a small script run the correct one. This kind of setup will obviously never be part of Tryton, but it is doable. -- Nicolas Évrard - B2CK SPRL E-mail/Jabber: [email protected] Tel: +32 472 54 46 59 Website: http://www.b2ck.com/
