Jacque, et al:
The stack file format in 2.7 has changed. Be aware that any stacks you save in 2.7 will not open again in earlier versions.
Runtime Revolution, like HyperCard, now has different versions of software in use around the world producing incompatible output. What does this mean for people offering plugIns and other stacks to the RR community?
* Initially, it would seem logical that all public stacks that don't include 2.7 features be submitted in Rev. 2.6.? (or earlier) format.
* Stacks in Rev. 2.7 format should be clearly identified as such...and preferably downloaded from a separate window.
Note this makes it necessary for people like moi to maintain two versions of Revolution in able to offer Rev. 2.6.? owners upgrades to our publicly-distributed stacks.
And what of someone who buys her first RR license today? Is she stuck distributing stacks only to Rev.2.7+ users, or downloading, installing, and working in two versions?
Pardon me for not checking: is there a Bugzilla request for a Rev.2.7 utility to convert any stack not using 2.7 features to Rev. 2.6.? file structure? If so, can someone post its #; if not, should there be?
