FreeCol 0.11.x is the tool to upgrade 0.10.x games. You just need to load and save again. 0.10.x should do that for 0.9.x saves and so on.
I'm just not sure how far it goes and if its just savegames or also mapfiles. I guess, sometimes it even includes savegames affected by some long fixed bug, but would like to get confirmation on that. > Gesendet: Mittwoch, 08.
