System Information
Windows 8

Blender Version
2.70 official release and 2.69 official release.

Short description of error

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Basically if you have a spot light with a shape size of 106° for example in 2.70 and you save that file and you open that file in a previous version (2.69 for example) you get a value of 1.85° instead of the original 106°.

It's very easy to reproduce this problem but I don't know if it's part of the breaking compatibility plan of if it's a bug.

Please have a look at the release notes before reporting a bug, this is none, but a mere forward compatibility breaking due to internal cleanup (values moved from degrees to radians).

OK, excuse me if I don't read all the releases notes, that's why in my description I said that I was not sure. I'm not a developer and sometimes is hard to keep track to all the changes in Blender. I don't know why but every time I report a problem I feel like I'm going to get hit by a bus with the feedback from the developers. Not all blender users are blender developers.

I’m sorry if I’m a bit harsh sometimes, but you report one bug, so taking the five minutes needed to skim the release notes about compatibility issues (those have their own section even, and google can also help) is not a great deal for you, while as developers, we have to check tens of bugs everyday, and even simply closing invalid ones takes a few minutes as well!

Serious, well made and tested/checked reports are great value for us. False reports esp. when info about it is very easily accessible are waste of our time.

I'm also wasting my time in creating these reports, sometimes they are bugs and sometimes not. If you think users are creating reports because they are bored you are wrong, if I create a report is because I don't have all the information of knowledge of I'm not up to date with all the changes that happens in Blender everyday. I think I mention you previously this and I will do it again for the last time, I'm very tired to be treated like this (especially from you) every time I report a bug so I think I'm not going to waste more of your time or my time in these reports, not going to report anything else about blender bugs.

Is funny to hear Ton and other developers asking for help in catching bugs when you get so much heat every time you try to be helpful. Good luck.

@samvila: I think monts first response here was very polite. You said that you are unsure whether this is a bug or not. Mont answered this question, but also gave you a hint to the release logs. See it as additional info, not as a attack. :)
