v3.6 and earlier wrote image files "on the fly", leaving files
technically broken if render was aborted. However, depending on the file
format and reading application, such partial files could sometimes be
loaded in other applications.
At least that's what happened to my understanding. There may also have
been mechanisms in place that, when aborting a render, would just fill
the remainder of the file with black pixels to complete the image. But
in that case partial PNG files should have worked as well.
