If I update the source code, would I lose my work?

I am currently using the 0.8.0 Source Code. When 0.8.1 is released, would I lose my work if I update for 0.8.1?

P.S. (I would update with mercurial)

Yup, you'd have to make the same modification to 0.8.1 code and compile again

Ok, thanks because if I wouldnt have known that I would have lost ALL my work when it comes out.

Wait, no. What is "your work"? Modifications to the LÖVE code? You can just merge the new version of LÖVE with your changes. This will be easy if you use Mercurial.

So it is possible to continue your work on the newer version with out losing it? I do use mercurial. Yes my work is modifications to love. How do I do it if possible. For later use

Just run hg update and hg merge or something like that. Refer to the Mercurial documentation for how to do it exactly and to see what you need to consider.

Are you talking about edits to the LOVE source or edits to a LOVE project? For the former, you would need to merge changes from the repo and for the latter just check that your functions all conform to the new standards.

I'm talking about the source and thanks Robin

Anyway if you have something interesting contributed to the source code, why not post a pull request and make LOVE better?
