[Bf-committers] Loosing UV Mapping and Textures 243->242a

[Brecht Van Lommel]

Hi,

It's not a bug, the data structures were changed to have multiple uv and 
color layers, and so they can't be read by 2.42 anymore. This is an 
exception, but still you should be very careful working with files from 
newer versions in old ones. Any data from features in new versions is 
lost if you save then.
