My humble suggestion: why not simply stop the program at start if it detects an older file version? Then prompt the user to choose to continue migrating correctly the whole project, but making a _real_ complete backup of the project before continuing and before making any modification, using a different extension like .old_version or such. If the user choose to not migrate the project then suggest to use the corrispondant older stable version to open it and simply close the program. I think that this should simplify things a lot either for devs and for users.
