[oXygen-user] parallel installation of different oxygen versions

[Adrian Buza]

Hi,

When dealing with major versions it's always a good idea to use a 
different directory. So, for v14, especially since it's a beta, please 
use a different directory.

The preferences from v13.2 will not be affected by the v14 beta. Each 
version of Oxygen uses a different preferences file (even minor versions).
When a new version is started for the first time, Oxygen imports the 
preferences from the prior version (latest version prior to the current 
one). Note that this import only happens once. So, all your preferences 
from v13.2 will be imported in v14 and you can continue using them 
there. If you change any preferences in v14, they will only affect v14. 
This means you can go back and forth between v13.2 and v14 and each will 
have its own set of preferences without interfering with each other.

Regarding the document types (frameworks). If you have made changes to 
the Oxygen built-in document types or have created other external 
storage document types (.framework files) in the frameworks directory 
from the old version, these will not be imported in the new version of 
Oxygen. You can copy your created document types from the frameworks 
directory of the old version to the frameworks directory of the new version.

Regards,
Adrian
