Hello OPlotterists !
I am almost all set to acquire a pack of oeSENC charts from o-charts.org, with still a reluctance regarding what will happen when upgrading to version 0.17.0, or to version 1.0.0
Will the pack bought at version 0.16.0 will still be working after the upgrade ?
Here after is a quotation of o-charts.org's Q&A :
"What happens if I update my Operating System ?
You should not have problems with normal security updates, but version upgrades are unpredictable and could make your charts unusable. "
In other words the "fingerprint" file, and consequently the encoding of the charts pack seems linked to both RPi H/W and OS relative data, in that case changing the SD card could mean the loss of the charts packs ! Can anyone in the development team confirm or infirm my fears ?
