Dear Gmsh developers,

I have recently moved from Gmsh 3.0.6 to the most recent 4.3.0, and I have 
noticed that the .msh files for extruded meshes with layers are slightly 
different than before, because they contain periodicity relations.
To me this is puzzling, because I do not have any periodic mesh. Why are the 
periodicity relations written even on non-periodic meshes? is there a way to 
turn this off?

Second, I have noticed that Gmsh is returning an error when reading these .msh 
files. I have attached two meshes (2D and 3D) that prove this: the .msh files 
have been generated from the attached .geo ones. For example, when I open 
square.msh, I get "Error: Cannot find periodic counterpart of vertex 3 on edge 
2 nor on 2".
Since these are two extremely simple meshes, I was wondering whether there is a 
bug in the definition of the periodicity relations, or whether some commands I 
am using need to be changed with the new Gmsh version.

For your information, I have to use the MSH 2.2 format for compatibility with 
my CFD code.

Thanks.
