That is perfectly OK because there is the option. You can turn it on with just one mouse click. Changing the default value in code ON/OFF would pollute the local config file without any real benefit. Most people just use the latest release version. Some others, including myself, use only trunk. If I need to test the last release version, then I will use the option. Mattias and you apparently need the option. What is the problem? No mess IMO.

Suppose I fix a bug in a demo program which comes with Lazarus, it clearly is a bug and there is no reason why it should not be backported to Fixes. I usually work with trunk, and now I must think of checking the compatibility box. I certainly will forget this, and the demo program will be broken in the Fixes branch. Not to mention all the third party programs out there which now are so nicely available by means of OPM. How will you force every developer to work in compatibility mode? And they have to change it with every demo project. It would be a bit better if there were a global option of setting the default for the compatibility box. And I see more trouble: package lpk files still use the old format of numbered nodes. When you once decide to introduce the new format also for packages also the packages will be broken - so far it's "only" the demos. Sorry, this is a mess. ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Sun, 17 Mar 2019 14:52:07 +0200 From: Juha Manninen To: Lazarus mailing list Subject: Re: [Lazarus] New XML format for project info files Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" On Sun, Mar 17, 2019 at 2:08 PM Werner Pamler via lazarus wrote: > project.

The package .lpk format should be changed the same way as the project files. And yes, then a global option would make sense, too. I guess I must change the default value of project compatibility option to ON after all...

So that is one, that cannot just undone by ctrl-z. And they might get it repeatedly, as "old habits die hard". ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Sun, 17 Mar 2019 18:18:23 +0100 From: Werner Pamler To: Subject: Re: [Lazarus] New XML format for project info files Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"; Format="flowed" Am 17.03.2019 um 13:52 schrieb Juha Manninen via lazarus: > I guess I must change the default value of project compatibility > option to ON after all... Yes that should be helpful. BTW, there are other nodes also in the lpi files which still are counted: * RequiredPackages * Debugging/Exceptions * RunParams/Modes -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I use it very often, especially when CodeTools fails due to me working on features that are not yet supported. Or if some include file is not picked up correctly.
