Important: New file format for plugin settings means that documents created with version 1.6.5 are NOT backward compatible with previous versions of the software.
Important: Anthracite uses the MacOS X built-in plugin system which means when upgrading Anthracite next time, users will also need to upgrade their plugins. Be sure to save a copy of any plugins you use for future installations.
