Ok, so v8 is here.
I'm actually quite excited about that (dear Ben and Nathan and you others at Harrison: We are also here - the excited ones!)
But you other MB32 users, what have been/are your strategies for upgrading?
1/ I know v7 projects will open in v8, but will they also behave just the same?
I'm a bit nervous, as I've had experience with probably v5 projects coughing and stuttering in probably v6.
Of course I can keep v7 for v7 projects, but I do actually think it's a hassle dealing with different versions. I prefer not to.
So what are the experiences so far with continuing v7 projects in v8?
2/ From v6 to v7 I did a complete uninstall, didn't keep settings or anything, started off with a clean sheet.
I could be wrong, but I believe this was inspired by the very MMM.
But starting off fresh also requires quite a bit of work. Getting stuff back as I want it. Favourites, keyboard shortcuts (do templates also go away?). It's not too tempting.
Do you keep settings? And that works well in the transition?
I'd like to hear about the upgrade experience of others before taking the step myself.
The installer is ready, but I'm not quite sure I am.
