| Product Version | 2.7.1 | ||||
| Summary | 0002629: 2.7.1 won't play sessions saved by 2.8ish | ||||
| Description | I tried to load a couple of session files saved by current svn 2.0-ongoing (r4972) into 2.7.1 (actually r4236). They seemed to load up OK, but won't play. I can drag the play head around: transport is definitely set to 'internal', and I removed the ~/.ardour2 directory in case 2.8 had put anything in there that 2.7.1 didn't like. | ||||

We cannot offer forward compatibility with session files - it would prevent us from altering the session file format in meaningful ways. We do try to guarantee backward compatibility. |

Ah, OK. I knew that opening 3.0 projects in 2.x wasn't supported, but I didn't realise that going from 2.x to 2.x-1 wasn't either, so I suppose this bug can be marked as invalid. However, the "Session version" property in session files saved by both 2.x and 3.0 is still "2.0.0", which comes from the libardour version in libs/ardour/version.cc. Perhaps that version should be bumped, and the check in session_state.cc for old versions made more generic, and to output a warning to the log window if it detects a session saved by a newer version. |

More advanced session file version handling is being built into 3.0, so this problem should be solved. |

Closing old issues: these have long since been fixed. |
