Change in Portfolio Output?

I've notice that newer portfolios created in HeroLab are now encrypted, whereas before they were in easy to parse XML formats. I was working on a program that would make reading in portfolios easier for myself, and to use towards creating a third party combat manager eventually, but now I am realizing that newer files won't work.

Is this a change in philosophy?
 
Huh. When did this change? Wont this also break the existing Hero lab android programs out there?

Its all ok. Everyone breath! :D :eek:

Its not encrypted but it is in a Binary format just like a Word Document. This is also better known as a Zip File. :) This is fully documented in HL actually. Go to "Help->Hero Lab Manual->Reading Hero Lab Saved Portfolios".

Basically just use any unzip program like 7zip to open the archived file and you will find LOTS of xml, html and text files inside.
