I understand there were several changes in data file format recently. Is there a simple table to know which version of SC compatible with which data file version? I have files going back to 2009. Are they useless now? Is there a way to convert them or shall I re-download it in the current format (not sure again - how much history you allow users to go back to).

Also there are bunch of .depth files from 2017 - can they be used or I should delete them too ?

I think given the importance of data format there has to be a simple support article in the Documentation section.

What changes? First we have heard of this.

The only change that there was, is regarding the Date-Time internal format which is now an integer but all existing data files can still be read when using Sierra Chart. This is not even something a Sierra Chart user would have to be concerned with. Unless they are trying to use a chart data file from a newer version of Sierra Chart in a significantly older version. And this change is documented on the What is New page.

There just is not any problem at all. All of your existing data can be used.

OK no problem then. I saw multiple messages over few past months saying - you have to download latest or it stops working, this is why I asked..
