Backwards IDA scripts compatibility #249
Description
Currently, automatically generated scripts dont support old versions of IDA, such as 6.8.
Could you do some tweaking/make 2 types of scripts for old and new ida versions?
You can find some useful info on that here:

+1 for this too. IDA 6.8 seem the most stable version.

I actually don’t think there is a need to support 6.8.
7.0 has been completely leaked, and all aspects of 7.0 are better than 6.8, especially support for the new version of the compiler.

As i will need to update my IDA, i cant use my old idb databases after this. I will use a newer one in future, but i still have some databases on the old version

Sorry I don’t have the idea of being compatible with the lower version of ida. In addition, the leaked ida 7.0 has generally been applied with compatibility patches, it allows ida to load a lower version of the databases.
