[Bug 355086] Re: Wesnoth save game file format in jaunty is incompatible (1.4 -> 1.6) and saves just vanish

[Gerv]

I realise conversion is hard/impossible, and I agree you can't be
expected to support both versions. But I would happily have delayed my
upgrade to Jaunty by a week if I had known that this was coming. So I
guess what I'm really looking for is a warning at the start of the
upgrade process. Is there any facility for that sort of thing?

Also, I'm looking for Wesnoth, when I start it with old saved games, to
say "You have old saved games. Sorry you can't play them. You need to
downgrade to 1.4" or another helpful message, rather than just pretend
that they aren't there. I would hope that's not too big a patch. I agree
that's a bug for upstream rather than the Debian or Ubuntu maintainer,
though.
