It would be interesting to know what decoder file you've updated/changed.
?
Sometimes, updates to decoder files require changes to the JMRI code as well (Which is why adding newer definitions to older versions of JMRI is not usually recommended).
?
If your updated file is based on one that received such updates between 4.26 and 5.10, your definition that's based on the older code may not work with the newer code.
