Version 10/11 projects.

Are version 10 projects a one-way only migration to the new version 11? Putting it another way is anything converted to 11 usable with 10 at anytime?

Hello Peter,
We do our best to make sure projects can be opened in the latest version and then put back to the previous versions.
There are new features in V11 that V10 just won't know how to handle like the new TopNav Skins and Component skins. We didn't see anything that would cause the content to be corrupted so it really shouldn't cause a problem.
With that said, be safe and create a back up of the V10 project just in case something happens that we did not test.

Thank you Rob. I was thinking of downloading the 11 evaluation and continuing my non-essential project I started in 10 using 11. I'm doing not much more than the essential basics with Flare so I'm unlikely to get entangled with backwards compatibility issues. And if I do, I'll have to speak to my Minister of Finance and see if she will give me Royal Consent to buy the upgrade.

EDIT:

Rob, I just noticed the advisory note about the trial copy randmising characters in the generated output. I'll stick with 10 for now because sometimes I can't tell the difference betwixt a randAm charakter and a typong misstake.

Has anything changed in Capture since the previous version? Reason I ask is that the website says captures will have a mandatory watermark added to them. If Capture is now "free" I'm wondering if the website's information might be slightly out of date. My version of Capture is 6.0.2 and the website only shows it as 6.0 so perhaps there haven't been any changes to Capture?

Hello Peter,
Capture still requires a key (free or not). Without the key, it would be running in Trial mode and that is when the watermark happens.
Capture is currently under development.

Quite correct. I searched my password vault and found my licence code for Capture.

You say Capture is under development: are there any features-cum-teasers about that you can reveal?

It's a very bad idea to reopen a project in v10 after you have linked it to Git in v11. I suppose I should have guessed that ...
