Comment 10 for bug 437929

tested with Inkscape 0.46+devel r22528+patch on OS X 10.5.8

a) new preferences file is created with 'version="0.46+devel"':
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<inkscape
   xmlns:sodipodi="http://sodipodi.sourceforge.net/DTD/sodipodi-0.dtd"
   xmlns:inkscape="http://www.inkscape.org/namespaces/inkscape"
   version="0.46+devel">

b) when using an old preferences file with 'version="1"' the new version information is not updated in the preferences file (run the patched Inkscape version, change some preferences and quit Inkscape):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<inkscape
   xmlns:sodipodi="http://sodipodi.sourceforge.net/DTD/sodipodi-0.dtd"
   xmlns:inkscape="http://www.inkscape.org/namespaces/inkscape"
   version="1">
