Can files written with a later version of TimingDesigner be read by an earlier version?
Generally, no. TimingDesigner files are forward compatible, meaning any TimingDesigner file can always be read by the latest release. While there are some instances of earlier TimingDesigner releases reading a file generated by a later release, it is generally discouraged as there can be loss of information when doing so. Therefore, you should not rely on TimingDesigner to read files written by a newer version. In addition, some versions of TimingDesigner will not attempt to read a file written in a newer file format.
