Version of .sln file generated by unity3.5
Hi, I updated unity3d from 3.4 to 3.5 beta6 today and found my VS2008 can not open unity project, It says "This .sln file is created by a newer VS version". Then I checked the solution file generated by unity3d, The head of the content is :
Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 11.00
# Visual Studio 2008
I changed "Version 11.00" to "Version 10.00", and VS works properly. But if I do any file operation to unity3d project(Adding or removing file), unity will update the .sln file, change "Version" back to "11.00" and VS2008 become sad.
It is very annoying me to change it manually because the file operation may occurs very often, so anyone can help me about this?
Thanks in advance :)

The way I've solved this is making a copy of the solution and work with the copy, so Unity doesn't overwrite it. Fortunately, project files seem to be compatible and almost all relevant changes happen there. In particular adding / removing files happens in the project files and not in the solution files.
The only time you'd have to get a new solution file is when you've made changes that add new projects (e.g. when adding UnityScript files, or Editor files, or Plugin files or the like ... the kind of stuff that eventually will make you end up with up to 6 or so projects ;-) ).
