Beginners Question

I'm new to Kangaroo so am trying to teach myself how it works using definition examples that kind people have provided. 

 

However whenever i open one of these files i get the error warning (see attached).

 

Is this because im using a newer version of Kangaroo and the files im opening were written on earlier versions?

 

Any Help would be greatly recieved.

 

Cheers

    Yes, Kangaroo version 0.044 breaks backwards compatible with pre 0.04 versions, and will not open files created with those versions. It was a necessary step for the major changes that happened under the hood, but shouldn't be happening again any time at all soon.

     

    I'll be trying to gradually build up a broader collection of up-to-date demo files, and posting them here over time.

     

    If there are any particular examples you (or anyone else reading) are interested in then let us know, and we'll see what we can do.

    I have just tried it out and, yeah, it is possible.

     

    But it happens that there is an archord point that does nothing, one of the two nearer points at right as you open the file.

     

    Can it be fixed?
