Yes, I think all projects will be fixed, everyone with assembly problems 
will come to me. I was probably just hurt that in a serious project, 
experienced developers allowed such a situation.
If in version 1.20/1.21 I saw a deprecated-message stating that 
'product' variable in section 'Export' is no longer supported and should 
be replaced with 'exportingProduct', then the problem would not have 
arisen. As I understood this transition did not happen spontaneously, 
you discussed it over several versions. I propose to display deprecate- 
messages in the future that QBS users could respond in a timely manner 
to impending changes.
