Description Nemo 2012-11-09 23:24:01 UTC
Quoting Chad on Ie8783e87: «Really, Import should be fixed so it doesn't explode on unrecognized tags :(».
And the fix should probably be backported to all previous releases.
(I've no idea if we have other import/export backwards compatibility problems.)
Comment 1 Chad H. 2012-11-09 23:53:04 UTC
It's not a regression, it's always been this way :(
Comment 2 Platonides 2012-11-10 14:41:38 UTC
As commented in the change, the Import format was rewritten in 1.17, and I don't think it explodes on unrecognized tags from that version on.
As our last supported version is 1.18, I think we can close this bug after adding tests (and verifying they pass).
Comment 3 This, that and the other (TTO) 2014-01-23 08:47:50 UTC
A parser test is not relevant to this bug.
