Maybe I have missed it, but is there a guide for 2026-2026.2 project creation via the command line?

Thanks

wiretap functionality and xml descriptions definitely changed in flame 2026.0.0 from 2025.x.x, and i think I remember a minor modification in 2026.1.0 but certainly in 2026.2.0, so version is crucial to whether or not a wiretap command with injected XML will work.

It’s relatively trivial to fix from version to version - pay attention to userdb, projectdb, syncolor, ocio, etc.

Despite substantial (yet invisible) infrastructure improvements by the flame team and subtle configuration changes, most changes are easily overcome, and not brittle.

I appreciate that.

A 2026 compatible XML might look like:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<Project>
  <Name>123_flame_alpha_MMXXVII_romeo</Name>
  <Nickname>123_flame_alpha</Nickname>

I just went back and checked and there were three changes in 2026 for wiretap.
