releases.

This will also make let the updated versions preserve existing settins of the 
user. Not sure if this will work as serilization may prevent us to read old 
settings file when the new program version has an updated setting class 
structure.

Or maybe we should start saving settings in config files?

.config files for DLL's are very problematic, http://nini.sourceforge.net/ is 
another good alternative.
