Magic "Earlier versions" archive
Posted: Fri Jan 16, 2015 1:45 pm
How about an archive with the earlier releases of Magic? Perhaps not the installer, just a zip (like those supplied for beta testing).
This would facilitate backup of projects so that they could be run with exactly the same behaviour as when created.
I love the bug-fixes
but I now regret deleting some earlier versions as I have projects that seem subtly wrong/different when run with the latest
eg I rarely understood the previous behaviour of DepthTest, and never understood my apparently arbitrary workarounds.
Now some of my old projects have problems that look DepthTest related, although I think there are additional issues.
BTW, will the multiple-instance facility of Magic work if the simultaneous versions are not the same?
