Synopsis: Execution parameters lost when changing compiler version

Description
This is the second time it happens. The first time was when upgrading to 6.2.7.2277 and now to 6.2.7.2329. This is only possible if someone changes the layout of classes being stored.

I'm fine if they changed, but one should send a message stating that it will change so that we know. However if possible, please do not change the layout of the class too much. One way to avoid that is to store the data into an ARRAY [ANY] for example, and have helper functions to retrieve the right item.

Basically I'll loose about 5/10 minutes to reconstruct my 10 or so entries that I have for development each time the execution parameters are wiped out.

Can we close this issue?

Just in case it is related, I looked at the logger tool and saw something which could explain this behavior but I don't think it is the case since I expected the data to be stored with the project.

Going from 6.2.7.3306 to 6.2.7.3489 I've again lost my settings. I did not expect this to happen with our release so close. Can anyone remember changing a data structure being stored?

This is now fixed (modulo changes in file locations for the settings).
