Why not? You could check for the start of your name list and if it isn't there, assume it uses the old format.
I changed support_binary too.
The very method with witch the version number is written in the file is changed.

Changes to that particular add-on should be very rare.
Might also be a good idea to store the version of the file format (like 0.1.1) at the top of the file.
It is. First number in the file is 1488, just a unique number to say it's a BBS file.
Second number is the version, current version is 2.
Backwards compatibility as a general rule is planned, it's just that I want to get the real serious changes (e.g. those to support_binary) out of the way because those might forget things up bad.
