Migrating from Encoq 3.0 to 3.1:can we continue to use our trained networks?

Hi,
I got two question regarding the migration from Encog 3.0 to 3.1:
We got a lot of trained neuronal networks. These networks where trained with the Levenberg-Marquadt-Algorithm (LMA) and works where well.
The networks are stored in EQ files. We would like to upgrade to Encoq 3.1,
but:
1. Can we use our trained networks further or have we to train them again?
2. Are serialized EQ files of the LMA in Encog 3.0 compatible with Encoq 3.1?

best regards,
ben

The Encog EG files should be compatible. Likely Java/C# serialized files would be as well since I do not believe there were any changes to the objects enough to break serialization. Java/C# Serialization is not really guaranteed to work between versions, but the .EG file is. If for some reason an Encog 3.0 EG file could not be read by 3.1 I would consider that a bug.

Hi Jeff,
That are good news. Thanks for the fast answer.
We will try it.
