Hi everybody.
I was not aware of realesing multibit HD at all.
I used multibit classic for several months till yestrday that I decided to referesh my windows (7).
I thought I would be able to import my wallet using the private key as usual.

Multibit HD (MBHD) does not allow you to import private keys, because its working with a seed. The seed would not cover the imported keys.

But now i see that the classic version doesn`t exist longer.

Still here -> https://multibit.org/releases.html

I insalled HD version an created a new wallet.
But what about my  bitcoins in my classic wallet?
are them gone forever? if yes, it is multibit`s authors ` fault.
because they must warn me before eg via e-mail or any other way.
now All thing I have , is a key file belong to my classic version`s wallet.
Thank you for your help.

Install the classic version and make a transaction to your new wallet. Its the safest and easiest way to migrate to a new wallet software. Keep the old files around in case someone is still using one of your old addresses.
