Description:
A week ago I compiled WB5.2.2a just for testing and decided to test it with a real project. I opened a project which was built with WB5.1.17 and played with it, then I saved it. Now I want to switch back to WB5.1.17, but I can't because the file version is different.

It would be nice if WB can convert between different file versions.

How to repeat:
1. create a project with WB5.2.2a
2. save it
3. now try to open it with WB5.1.17/18

Suggested fix:
Every release of WB to be able to convert to it's own file format. If there are significant differences you should be warned what of the features will be lost.

Thank you for the feature request.

5.1 is long unsupported and exporting to different versions is significant effort with only temporary benefit for a very specific audience, so I'll close this FR in benefit of other more popular FRs.
