For example, at the lowest level it would be possible to edit the XML files if you could give the field changes. A better solution is ,obviously, and upgrade program.

Also, to clearify. We intend to continue to support reading of the file
formats we currently have released. When saving we will save to the new
version since otherwise data might get lost.

If you have problem reading a file that you created with 0.6 in 0.7 it
might either be because of a bug in 0.7 that we noticed after the
release (we made new RPM's), I'm not sure if the Debian packages have
the patch applied but I'm fairly sure they do.

Or if you want to send us the file you fail to load we can take a closer
look at it (if that is possible due to secrecy)
