version 0.70 Compatibility

from GalCiv4 Forums

I just saw that I now have version 0.70.  Is it OK to use that to load and run saved games or should we start a new game to do our testing?

Since the XML data is baked into the saved game, it's usually recommended to start a new game on an update like this.

I thought .70 was only in the test branch.

If so, couldn't he try it there and if it doesn't work not upgrade the regular branch till finished with current game?

Yeah, that would probably work. As long as he realized that he shouldn't expect to see any new features and maybe not even any bug features while trying out the test branch.
