Unfortunately this does not solve the issue for me personally. I post
a lot of code in the forum, and since I normally work with Laz-trunk
and, of course, forget to activate the compatibility option the code
will be useless for users of legacy versions. I really would
appreciate to have the previous solution (a global default setting for
the compatibility option) in addition to the current solution. Of
course this new option should now be off by default, but after once
having switched it on all my demo projects would be readable also by
legacy Lazarus. I reopened bug report
https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=22752 for this request.
From the perspective of a legacy Laz user a stand-alone tool to
convert the new format back to legacy would be helpful, too.
Currently, a user not having Laz trunk is unable to open any projects
saved by Laz trunk without editing the xml files manually!
Feel free to extend the feature to your wishes. I don't think anybody
will be against such a global option or an external stand-alone
converting tool.
