LEDSpicer 0.7.0 introduces configuration version 1.1 with breaking changes. Existing configuration files must be updated.

Before (1.0):

<actor type="Serpentine" group="All" direction="ForwardBouncing" />

After (1.1):

<actor type="Serpentine" group="All" direction="Forward" bouncer="True" />

Before (1.0):

<input name="Actions" listenevents="joy">
    <map trigger="B1" target="Button1" type="Element" />
</input>

After (1.1):

<input name="Actions">
    <maps source="joy">
        <map trigger="B1" target="Button1" type="Element" />
    </maps>
</input>

For non-reader inputs (Mame, Network), use <maps> without source:

<input name="Mame">
    <maps>
        <map trigger="P1_B1" target="Button1" type="Element" />
    </maps>
</input>

A Python script is provided to convert configuration files automatically.

Location: tools/convert_1.0_to_1.1.py

# Dry run - preview changes without modifying files
python3 convert_1.0_to_1.1.py /path/to/ledspicer/data -n

# Convert with automatic backup (.bak files created)
python3 convert_1.0_to_1.1.py /path/to/ledspicer/data

# Convert without backup
python3 convert_1.0_to_1.1.py /path/to/ledspicer/data --no-backup

# Convert single file
python3 convert_1.0_to_1.1.py /etc/ledspicer.conf

1. version="1.0" → version="1.1" (only in <LEDSpicer> root, not XML declaration)
2. direction="ForwardBouncing" → direction="Forward" bouncer="True"
3. direction="BackwardBouncing" → direction="Backward" bouncer="True"
4. Reader inputs (Actions, Credits, Impulse, Blinker): removes listenevents, wraps maps in <maps source="...">
5. Non-reader inputs: wraps maps in <maps>

If something goes wrong, restore from backup:

cp /etc/ledspicer.conf.bak /etc/ledspicer.conf
