At least in theory, they are up to rev3+ of ADIF, and all NEW versions are 
supposed to be upward compatible, aka Rev3 should be able to read rev 2 and 1, 
if the devs do their job anyway (aka properly support the standard)

The issues are 
1)are you feeding a newer version of the spec to a program that expects an 
older version 
2)how good a job did the developer do of implementing the standard. That isn't 
the STANDARDS fault, but the fault of the developer (said as a developer)

Done RIGHT, the developers should say "we import ADIF up to version X", and 
they SHOULD be able to export in say ADIF1, 2 and 3, as requested, in case who 
you are sending to can't understand say ADIF 3
