The ability to import/migrate *some* data (I think global history) from 1.x profiles will be lost in 1.9.2. We had hoped to have most of our 1.x users migrated to SeaMonkey 2.0 before switching to 2.1. As a workaround I guess we can make a release note for 1.x users to upgrade to 2.0 first. Other than that 1.9.2 is a significant improvement which will enable us to do more fancy stuff (if only we had the developers to do it of course).
