Qimera 2.1.0 - Important Notes
Licensing
Existing Qimera users with a license that is under maintenance will be able to install and run Qimera 2.1 alongside Qimera 1, using the same license. No changes to the license configuration have been made with this release.
Installers
The Qimera installer will install by default into subdirectories with the version name under the typical install path, which is usually C:\Program Files\QPS\Qimera. This allows multiple installations quite easily and follows the trend that Qinsy has been using for some time. Users with Qimera 1.X already installed will find that Qimera 2 will install into the Qimera 1 directory, but in the 2.0.0 subdirectory of the Qimera 1 installation folder.
QPS Project and file format versions
This is a reminder that in Qimera version 2.0.0, the QPS project version has been upgraded and is therefore not compatible with previous projects made with Qimera 1. Projects created with Qimera 1 can be upgraded to work in Qimera 2.1 but it will not be possible to go back. It is suggested to back up a Qimera 1 project prior to opening it in Qimera 2.1, in case problems are encountered.
Before the upgrade of a Qimera 1 project, a backup of existing Dynamic Surfaces will be made in the project to ease recovery in case of problems.
