can bullet 2.87 read bullet 2.82-serialized .bullet files?

Post by KrisG_TTG »

I'm wondering if the newer code is backwards-compatible?

The serialization system is designed to be backward and forward compatible. Since we don't have many unit tests (yet),
it is possible that something does go well. If so, just report it here.

Each .bullet file stores its structure definitions, so the importer can perform sensible conversions if needed. So even if something breaks, you can programmatically check versions and inspect what data conversion is needed.
