I am running girder 3 or maybe even 2.5?
Anyway I wrote a huge program that lets me create the gml file based on information that my program puts into a database.
For example. In my program it asks you what type of device you want to add and then if you click IR you specify what device and model and it looks it up in a database and then if i generate the gml file it would take the ir code, repeat time, basically all the info and generate the correct gml file. Then i open girder and the gml file has my device inside. So when i do my home automation install i have hundreds of devices (IR, Serial, X10) and my system creates everything.

I want to update to the new girder but I'm worried that the format of .gml i am creating will no longer work.

I know I saw that girder 4 can read old .gml files, however, I would like confirmation.

Girder 4 is mostly file compatible with Girder 3.3. Earlier then that you might have trouble.

I guess I'll have to setup a test system and give it a shot.
Man do I hope this works. It looks like there is some really nice advancements for the new girder that I want to implement in my system but if I had to give up this program I made I don't think I could upgrade.

Thanks Ron
