Thanks for the info!

I have to say though: Ouch. Do you know if there's an upgrade path for
apps? Does v3 detect you've got a v2 file and do something smart
(upgrade in place / spit out a readable error)?

Problem is that we have to help with the transition for users that
started with v2 and get upgraded to v3 at the app level I suspect.

This was developed against v2. If v3 is backwards compatible, it'll
just work. If not... we'll hear about it soon ;-) Pg/MySQL aren't
really supported, though it wouldn't be that hard.
