Well, it's supposed to be backwards compatible. But I was able to reproduce (I think, you didn't say what went wrong, which is always good information). I'm sorry this didn't work, I tried to keep it backwards compatible, but I missed something. The fix is in glib library, a fix is in the repository: 6b9b8ceff serialdev: Fix parsing of some backward compatibility strings Thanks for the report, and I hope you like the new format better than the old. I got a lot of complaints on the old config format, it's hard to read and it made parsing some strange device strings a big pain.
