On the 'download' page on website, it says this in bold:
"Note that, until 1.0, there is no guarantee of backwards-compatibility 
between versions"

In magic-removal there are quite a few backwards incompatible changes, 
so yes, you will have to either upgrade your code (and database) or 
have multiple versions of django.  Neither option is particularly hard  
- you can easily have 2 sets of django source code, just use different 
PYTHONPATHs for your different apps, and there will be full 
instructions for changing your code:
