Re: [Audacity-devel] old format not supproted

[Dominic M. <do...@mi...>]

Until we hit version 1.0, please consider the project files to
be "temporary" files that we may or may not support.  Otherwise
we'd have a nightmare trying to support all of the old formats,
especially since some of the old ones had bugs.

However, after that disclaimer:

If you edit the .aup file in a text editor and change the version
to 0.97, it _may_ open in the latest Audacity.  It's worth a try.

I changed the file format version number recently when I added
some new info to the file which might affect the parsing.

My long-term plan is to make the file format XML, and then write
a simple class that will import all version 0.9x project files.

Anyone have experience with XML parsers/generators in C/C++ for
this purpose?  I'd appreciate some advice...
