At my academic workplace I have Stata 16 MP (16.0, not updated -- long story, endless fights with the IT department). I have access to a secure data facility which allows either Stata 16.1 MP or (now) Stata 17.0 MP. I frequently export .dta, .gph, .ster, .do and .ado files from the secure data facility and work on them at my workplace. I used to use Stata 16 on both systems, but now would like to give Stata 17 a go.

I am assured by Richard Williams (https://www.statalist.org/forums/for...77#post1604777) that .dta files from Stata 17 will be readable in my Stata 16 MP. However in the past I have also faced compatibility issues between Stata versions when it comes to .ster files (previously, I could not read .ster estimates produced using Stata 15 in my Stata 14). Does anyone know whether there are any compatibility issues with the .gph, .ster, .do or .ado files across 16 and 17?
