Hi
I ve got a few questions about new version due to release in November 2002.
  1. Will version 1.0.3 be available this week?
I hope so.  But before release, we need to do some final testing with the test suites that have already been  looked at with each version.  If things look out of line, then we have to do some more digging.
  1. Will there be any considerable difference between version 1.0.3 and 1.0.2?
Yes.... and no.  There are a number of new features and bug fixes, including a different approach to interpolating weather (hourly) data into time steps of EnergyPlus.
  1. How about IDF and IDD? Do they remain unchanged?
There will be some changes in the IDD and reflected in IDFs.  Particularly for any new features, there will be new objects.
  1. Is version 1.0.3 backward compatible? Can I run v1.0.2 file in v 1.0.3?

For the most part, the answer is yes.  One object (photovoltaics) had a bug corrected such that if you're using that field in the object, you will either need to change it manually or run it through the transition program that will "transition" IDFs from V1.0.2 to V1.0.3.
