New description:
Since QGIS 2.2 a few aspect of the symbolgy have been changed, this can lead to issue when importing projects made with 2.0.1.
See comments for details, in particular: #10723-2
It would be good to have a routine that can handle with this cases.

Old description:
Hi all,
I've found a regression in a 2.0.1 project.
Border stylization is not preserved when opening the project in 2.2.0-Valmiera or in trunk (QGIS 2.3.0-master revision:abcc5a).
I've reproduced the problem in a small test case.
The zip file contain a shapefile and a 2.0.1 project.
- 2.0.1 (in Windows 32 bit)
- 2.2.0 (in Windows 32 bit)
- trunk (revision abcc5a in Linux 64 bit)
For me is a serious problem.
I had several complex sytlization made with 2.0.1 and I cannot use any later version since I cannot afford to make again the stylization.

- Category set to Symbology
- Status changed from Open to Feedback
This is how I followed the evolution of this matter:
- the direction/angle of the line pattern fill of the bottom left polygon was right in qgis 2.0.1, bugged in 2.0.2 and fixed in master
- the line pattern fill was wrong (IMHO) in QGIS 2.0.1 and fixed in QGIS 2.2: in QGIS 2.0.1 the fill properties allowed to choose the angle and color (and distance/width/offset) of the line, but not the style of the line. In fact the inner properties of the fill changed the style of the border, that had no sense for a fill.
In my opinion this should be closed.

Well... we could add a project transform which extracts the line style from pre 2.2 projects and adds it as a new outline symbol layer, but that's not a trivial change.

Agreed, it is a serious issue, and the only practical way would be to provide project migration utilities from a version to the next, but it's a significant amount of work. If people are interested in saving time, they are invited to support this development.

Utilities? We already have transformation routines within QGIS (see QgsProjectFileTransform), but they are probably not maintained well enough.

Yes, I did not mean external utilities; the transformation routines should be improved then.
