Old Templates are not new build/version compatible

In your reply to my question about including Templates from an older version/build in a newer version/build

i.e. Build 118 to 119, you said they are not compatible and must be rewritten.
If Templates arn´t downward compatible in the different builds then using templates at all means that I am stuck with the build in which I define them.
I expect the new version 4 won´t be compatable either which will mean I can only use it for new Projects and must keep the older versions active to chnage or update one of my oder Projects.
Keeping up with the times and using the latest versions will therefore not be possible.
Another chance of course is to inform users which changes in the phprunner source have been made so that updateing user templates is possible without having to go through all source files and comparing then with template files.
Do you have any ideas of how older template versions can be impoerted/updated to match newer builds or versions.
Is a convert programm included in the new PHPRunner version 4 for older versions?

Robert,
the templates in PHPRunner is the major part of the program. Every PHPRunner update means templates are updated.
So when you create custom templates you have to stick to this version of PHPRunner. We recommend to use Events and include files to customize the pages where it is possible.
To overcome this restriction we separated visual part from PHP code in the new version of PHPRunner.

In most cases your custom visual templates will work with future updates without any changes.
