Reading between the lines, it sounds as though I'd be best going through 
all projects and making sure that they build and run properly with 
0.9.30 before doing anything else. Thank heavens I set up svn here a few 
months ago.

If that is the route to follow and knowing that 0.9.30 warns about 
unknown properties, would I be better working from my most recent 
revision of each project and manually removing properties (from which 
files- .lfm?) or would I be better going to an older revision to get 
safe forms and then integrating more recent code?
