backward compatibility (FM7.0 and FM7.1)

[Andy]

Hi all,
If I use FM 7.0, I can open an .fm file that was authored/edited by an
author using FM 7.1. No MIF file is needed.
How bad an idea is to allow some authors to use 7.0 and others to use
7.1? I just discovered that some of our part-time authors were
installed with version 7.1 and the rest of us are using 7.0.
Are there dangers? If so, what are they?
I always thought that everyone on a team should use the exact same
version of FM.
Thanks in advance for any advice,
Andrew Hall

Hi Andy
It does not pose a problem IMHO. There are differences between the versions,
but none that I have discovered to pose a problem in a collaborative
process. But use MIF if you worry about it.

Best regards
Bjørn
