In version 4, /libgnucash/app-utils/options.scm was the file in which a list of old names and new names of report options that had been renamed could be paired to maintain backward compatibility with saved report configurations. This was via the option database code, inside the new-names-alist function.
How does that work in version 5 with the report option code rewrite? I find ./gnucash/bindings/guile/options.scm but I don't see where I am supposed to put the option renaming code in this version if it's even in that file. I assume the correspondence list from version 4 should still be somewhere but a search on some of the old option renaming does not return anything. Do we not keep backward compatibility for saved report configurations when going to the next major version? Regardless, if I want to propose renaming an option in a PR, what code do I need to put where to keep backward compatibility?
