Question-and-Answer Resource for the Building Energy Modeling Community
 | 1 | initial version |
The README file that is packaged with the EnergyPlus installation that lists important changes and other new version information provides a link directly to the HelpDesk page that hosts the entire package of idf transition tools. Here is the snippet from the README:
Multiple Version Conversions
The install includes the IDFVersionUpdater program and the necessary programs to convert from the previous version (including .rvi and .mvi files) to the current version. For older versions, you will need to visit the helpdesk and download the multiple conversion set of programs. The HelpDesk downloads area: Converting Older Files will contain the necessary readmes and zip/tar files of programs to convert IDFs from V1.0 to the current version.
That said, I have taken your feedback and made a new issue on our GitHub repo to make sure this is more visible to users, so a change should be reflected in the next major release of EnergyPlus.
Thanks!
