2.3.1 Release Notes

Release date: 8th January 2025

File Version Bump

Scenes created in Cavalry 2.3 or earlier will be converted when opening them in Cavalry 2.3.1. The file will be copied to a new Scene which will need saving – you'll notice the legacy Scene will be named <yourSceneName> [Converted].cv on opening. Any Scenes saved in 2.3.1 onwards will not be fully compatible with any previous versions of Cavalry.
