Hi Eike,

What we usually do is add a compatibility name to older release branches
so the next release there can read both, the new name and the old name,
but continues to write the old name so earlier releases of the same
(usually two) branches are not affected.

Then for the next release branch (now master) switch from writing the old
name to writing the new name, but still accept the old name "forever".

You can find examples of that in sc/source/core/tool/compiler.cxx
ScCompiler::IsOpCode() in aOdffAliases.


Thank you for your explanation.

I will start with it.

Winfried
