We've been over this before, but I'll repeat: Alphas give no guarantee
of API (including DB) stability. Hopefully it won't change too much, but
it should in no way stop the developers from breaking stuff.
I agree.
What is important here is the ability to dump the database to an
external DB file (xml would be a natural choice) which can be read by a
newer Continuum.
As soon as this is in place, I'll migrate.
Cheers,
Stéphane
Hopefully 1.1 will be pretty stable so it can be released ASAP and bugs
can be fixed on a 1.1.x branch.
