How do projects differ in version 5.5?

Projects have improved a great deal from earlier versions. Some of the key differences include:

• A new interface eliminates the need to write custom scripts.
• You don't have to copy files into a specific directory; you can establish references to files in any location.
• You don't have to specify compiler switches; the automatic defaults will work for many designs. However, if you do want to customize the settings, you do it through a dialog box rather than by writing a script.
• All metadata (compiler settings, compile order, file mappings) are stored in the project .mpf file.

  Important: Due to the significant changes, projects created in versions prior to 5.5 cannot be converted automatically. If you created a project in an earlier version, you will need to recreate it in version 5.5. With the new interface even the most complex project should take less than 15 minutes to recreate. Follow the instructions in the ensuing pages to recreate your project.
