That makes sense but the dictionary entry says: Value: The stackFileVersion currently has two possible values: - "2.4" - This stack file version is used by LiveCode 2.6.1 and earlier - "2.7" - This stack file version is used by versions of LiveCode after 2.6.1.
The 2.4 value is what is confusing. That's from the dictionary entry for 5.5.4 and it doesn't even mention the 5.5 value.
