Fine with this. Maybe was this the thing that was suppose to write directly to the GO db? On 11/8/11 1:04 PM, "Nomi Harris" <nlh...@lb...> wrote: Thanks for the feedback. Since the serial adapter is not working right and it doesn't seem to be an easy fix, I propose that we comment it out for this release. If anyone was using it (how? it's been broken for years) and is heartbroken, they can let us know.

This hasn't been true for ages though. Not clear to me what advantage the serial files might have had as an autosave backup format. - D On 8 Nov 2011, at 11:44, Dr Midori A.

I couldn't check whether the reader was broken in those versions, since you can't use the reader on serial files saved by a different version. I have now fixed the serial writer (well, fixed as in it now writes out something that is a serial file--whether it is "correct" I can't tell). However, the reader is still broken (see below) and neither Heiko nor I know how to fix it. (Any ideas?) I did more testing and unfortunately the serial writer is not actually all fixed. It still throws an exception under some (not so obscure) circumstances. At first I was thinking, "Oh, crap, if the serial reader is broken that means autosave is useless," but then I found that autosave is saving obo files, not serial files, so that's ok. What use *is* the serial adapter, anyway? Given that autosave doesn't use the serial writer anyway (though perhaps it originally was intended to), is there any actual use case for the serial reader/writer, or can we just get rid of it?
