Version 1.8.8.x Change Notes

Fixed problem with loading show files with Output grids into versions older than 1.8.7.2 - the Output grids would not be loaded correctly. Affected shows created or edited in versions 1.8.7.2 to 1.8.8.8 and then loaded into consoles with software prior to 1.8.7.2. This only affected loading into older versions of software - loading shows into newer software versions was ok. Any shows created in 1.8.0.2 to 1.8.8.8 should be loaded into 1.8.8.9 or above and saved, BEFORE loading into pre 1.8.7.2 console versions.
