yay!  thanks for the great tool and all the hard work!  i
have a question, however: is there some "best practice" for
helping with testing of the new versions?  i.e. i don't
really want to lose my gnucash file so i plan on backing it
up but say i use the new version for a week, will my old
gnucash still be able to open the file saved by 1.7?  i.e.
is the file format consistant for backwards compatability?
anything else i should know before i start in?
