This is not true. Only versions <= 0.60 are no longer usable since they
do not support the new database container format. All versions >= 0.65
can be updated, they will however not be able to take advantage of new
extensions and signature formats. With versions older than 0.80 you can
miss up to a few thousands of malware.
