I'm not sure how often or how much Stata changes the results when you
rerun something years later, especially with a routine like
-regress-. However, it is a good idea to include a version command at
the beginning of your -do- file, e.g.
version 11.1
That helps cover you if syntax changes or commands are dropped.
Other than that, you may want to hold on to your old versions of
Stata just in case, for some reason, the current Stata even with
version control is not reproducing your results.

Hello
is there a document, which would describe a recommended approach on
managing updates to Stata?
let's say i'm developing a model using Stata. if i download the
updates, it can change the results, the model coefficients etc. how
would i be able to verify the results later? suppose on Jan 1st 2011 i
updated Stata, regressed the model, got the coefficients, and used to
report financial results for Q4 2010. Now 2 years later, the internal
audit wants to verify how I got the coefficients. How would I be able
to reproduce the state of Stata software as of Jan 2011?
cheers
