Need better way to upgrade Marlin

Hi,

I just upgraded to Marlin 2.1 from 2.0 and it was all hell set loose.

I had to literally go back and start from scratch with Configuration files as there were many things that never matched from the earlier version.

This has happened during an earlier upgrade too!

Wish we had a better way of upgrading the firmware without loosing any of the earlier data and neither have to start with everything from scratch!

I know this is not what you are looking for though I use WinMerge it allows me to compare the lines for old firmware while viewing new firmware.

This make it much easier to while upgrading your firmware.

it is not just about comparing...

issue is much of the stuff had changed too!

many parameters were called differently too!!!

Thats why an automated tool is proving very very difficult to make, people have been working on it (on and off) for years

Well did you finally get it working.
