You missed one of the best ones imo... New '2.6' is made 3.0 beta, including a new .blend3 file extension which has a different file association and header so old blender versions wouldn't even try to load it. Users can manually export legacy .blend files from 2.6 (3.0) with various caveats. Writing files which people will think should work but will just crash old blender seems like a 'colosally bad idea'. It will only further cement blender's status as an unreliable amateur hobbiest tool. Blender should never crash. _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
