Has Teleport History moved with v1.26.22.27?

While experimenting with the new features, I accidentally deleted all entries older than today - Ooops! So I went to restore teleport_history.xml and teleport_history.txt from my last backup, but that had not restored the history when I logged back in.

This is not a disaster, but I'd like to understand better how things work now.

P.S. I just noticed that there is a new .xml file called tp_history.xml in my directory, with today's creation date. I assume that is the new history file?

P.P.S OK, so that was it. I renamed tp_history.xml, and that forced v1.26.22.27 to look for my old, restored history file. Problem solved.

The history file has been renamed as tp_history.xml (because its format changed), however, if the new teleport history floater does not find it, it loads the old teleport_history.xml file (and converts it before saving it as tp_history.xml). If you want to recover your old data, simply close the viewer, keep (or restore) teleport_history.xml and delete tp_history.xml. On next relog, the viewer will reload your old history and save it to the new file.
The teleport_history.txt file is a super-old file (dating from the original implementation that I already modified many times in the past) that you may delete (unless it is used by another TPV...).

Thank you for the very prompt reply, Henri. I should have investigated a bit more before posting.
