</div>Well, I could imagine some potentially relevant cases:<br>
<br>
1) Necessity to work with a closed source unit compiled with that version<br>
(or unit to which the original sources are lost, which is almost the same<br>
;-) ).<br>
<br>
2) Code using lots of assembly and expecting the original calling<br>
convention (this falls into your category of "implementation details", but<br>
it's an understandable one if it involves large amount of code which would<br>
need to be not only modified but possibly also debugged thoroughly because<br>
there are more differences than just the way of passing variables - in<br>
particular ebx needs to be saved). Although in that case 1.0.10 should be<br>
a better option than 1.0.6 - unless the original poster has 1.0.6 only and<br>
not 1.0.10 (in the situation when we do not offer this version for<br>
download any longer, but I could imagine that finding both would be still<br>
possible).<br>
<br>
Obviously, these are just random shots and pure speculation - the poster<br>
clearly stated that he didn't want to disclose the reasons.<br>
