db2efu for 1.5 and backward compatibility

[harryray2]

Is there a db2efu for everything 1.5?

Also, are all the db2efu's backward compatible (including 1.4) or do I have to download all the versions of db2efu?

Thanks.

No, not yet sorry.

db2efu is backwards compatible for Everything 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4.
The latest version supports all known database versions.

Thanks but I just seem to get an empty file....Working with .db from 1.4 but not from 1.5a

[harryray2]

Apologies, I didn't see you full reply. Any idea when a new db2efu will be available?

The database is going to change too much during alpha, making it difficult to support each version.

I'll look into db2efu support for Everything 1.5 once it's in beta.

Brilliant,thank you.

If I move one of my old .db files from 1.4 to my existing 1.5 installation,and turn off indexing will I be able to load the old database?

What a strange idea
I guess the db structure changed in many ways and the is no need for compatibility.

No.
The database is not compatible between versions.

Consider using db2efu to export your old database to an EFU file list and including that file list in your Everything 1.5 index under Tools -> Options -> File lists.
