There has already been an incident that there is a break of preferences by 9de1e2a (originated from #425; attempt of fix as in #503). Ideally, this kind of save file scheme changes should always be conducted and followed-up so as to preserve the quality of version continuation on save files, even on pre-releases. This is related to the quality of pre-releases.
Then, in case of save file corruptions, this allows backups of both preferences and world saves. Backups of preferences are performed automatically when saving and upgrading preferences with development builds; backup prompts are shown when users are attempting to load old worlds in development builds. (This might be extended to generally all versions, and all loadings of conflicting versions respectively.)
