I am proposing to drop support for this auto-update feature.
Beginning with 2.8.12, if you attempt to open a database file
built using version 2.5.6 or earlier, the open attempt will
fail (with an appropriate error message). You will have to
update the database file manually.
What if instead of refusing to open the database at all,
it opened the database read-only. Would opening older
databases read-only mitigate any hardships that refusing
to open older databases might cause?
Note also that the query optimizer would not be able to
use any indices in an older database. So not only would
the database be read-only, but complex queries might not
be as efficient.
