Hi Jim --

If you would provide examples of .morph or .project, we can surely figure out the regressions that happened since 3.8 or 4.3. I am not aware of a fundamental "format change" regarding ImageSegment or DataStream in Squeak. If so, backwards compatibility should still be a thing. ;-)

Feel free to document your issues here:

Best,
Marcel

Apologies, sorry for screaming.

When I try to load an older .morph (Squeak 3.8) it seems to work fine. I
think my problem is there were some .st files I didn't have loaded before
trying to load the 4.3 morph.

Plea still stands, however: Please do not even THINK ABOUT changing the
format of .morph without giving us a way to convert.
