Moving to Wing ~~MAJOR_VERSION~~ from earlier versions should be easy. The first time you
start Wing ~~MAJOR_VERSION~~, it will automatically convert your preferences and other
settings from the most recent older version of Wing found on your system, and place them
into your Wing ~~MAJOR_VERSION~~ `Settings Directory`__.

__ ref:install/user-settings-dir

Wing ~~MAJOR_VERSION~~ can be installed and used side by side with older major releases
(Wing 9 and earlier) and operates completely independently. Projects from earlier versions
of Wing will be converted and opened as untitled, and should be saved to a new file name
since older versions of Wing cannot open Wing ~~MAJOR_VERSION~~ projects.
