The following items address some potential compatibility issues between the January 2008 Edition and past releases.

Slide Shows: Slides shows from the October 2007 Edition are forward compatible with the January 2008 Edition with no internal conversion necessary. The new Target Aspect Ratio information is not backward compatible with earlier editions of SSP and will be ignored by them.

Song Files: Song files from the October 2007 Edition are forward compatible with the January 2008 Edition with no internal conversion necessary. However, any new songs added to the database are not backward compatible with previous editions of SSP. This also goes for any song that is edited. Even presenting a song can cause it to convert to the new format since it's presented flag will be set (this won't occur if the song has been previously presented).

CCLI Online Lyrics Import: The name of the Plug-in that supports the CCLI Lyrics Service was changed from "SongSelect Lyrics Service Import" to "Lyrics Service Import".  This is cosmetic and there are no functional effects of this change - the latter performs the same function as the former.

Please review the What's New section for additional information about the January 2008 Edition.
