Hi,

Thanks for your bug report.  I can't reproduce the problem
yet, so I'll need some more information.

Do you have any files from those versions that do work?
Can you share some examples that work and examples that do not?

I have just tried a few files of my own that were created five
years ago using Ipe 6.0 Preview 10.  All that I tried opened
correctly.  Mine files are all eps, however.

What kind of Objects are we talking about: text or graphics?  If you
have some examples that you can share, please describe exactly what
you had expected to see; i.e. where the objects should have been.

The media size is missing from the XML file generated by the old
version?  That can't be blamed on a bug in the current version.

... or even a bug in the old version / old dependencies.

So the bug shows up on an amd64 machine?  Were the files created on
the same machine?  Can you install a chroot running stable on the
machine and check whether the files display correctly with ipe
6.0pre27-3 ?

Thanks,
