It means your files are no longer compatible with other users of
Version 5 (such as myself) who have not yet upgraded!
So you are now compatible with yourself, other upgraders, and
users of V6 such as those who were at the BYU conference.
I can send you my data and you can read it. But you cannot now
send your data to me unless you use GEDCOM. Or you could
persuade me to upgrade to the most recent version of Version 5.0.
So you now have a Version 5 which is not fully compatible with Version 5!
But you are compatible with some BYU conference attendees.
Seems to me that what the Millennia folks are calling 5.0.0.256
would be better called 5.1.0.2 or something. Or maybe even
Version 6.0.0.2. Because it cannot write 5.0.0.0 files, it is wrong
to call it 5.0.anything. On the other hand, maybe I'm wrong and
it does write 5.0.0.0 files.
