v1.5 Preview 2 Installation Questions

by Brian E Charapata · in iTorque 2D · 09/01/2011 (8:53 am) · 2 replies

I would like to install Preview 2 but have some installation questions first.

1. I have v1.4x installed right now. Will I need to remove v1.4 or can I have them both installed?

2. Will I be able to open my current projects in v1.5 without any conversion?

3. I heard the docs have been improved, can I just download the docs and install them instead of the whole v1.5 install?

4. If I install v1.5 will I need to upgrade to the new IOS first or can I run with my version? I have Xcode Version 3.2.6.

Thanks.

You should remove the actual editor app from the previous versions to avoid confusion, but I have several directories of TGB and iT2D in my source directory (~/src/Torque/).

Projects should open like usual. The documentation is also online, but I dunno if it's updated constantly, or has to go through a bit of QA between updates. Since 1.5 versions are still previews, the only place with relevant documentation (if updated) is inside its archive. It's a beta, after all :)

iT2D has no specific iOS version requirement, other than it's strongly suggested to have at least 3.1, which is unavoidable if you want to run any software these days anyway. You should upgrade to Xcode 4, though, as v3 is pretty old now. Xcode 4.2 will soon be out of beta, and SDK5 will be a requirement no matter what minimum OS level you target.

I can chime in with some preemptive advice. When the final 1.5 ships, you will not really be required to uninstall any previous versions of any of the engines. The file extensions have changed to be unique to 1.5 final. However, you should still clear the user settings directory to make sure you are using the latest preference files.
