Re: [Rails-devel] Keeping compatibility (was: Test report: 1835 in Rails 1.5.1)

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

My current roadmap is to allow at least reading the save file fomat of the 
Rails 1.x series for Rails 2.0 to keep test games for the major redesigning.

When to introduce a new file format  used to write save files is open and can 
be 2.0 but it is also possible that it will occur later.
