It's as much as changing the download url. The new version is downward compatible.

Subject: Re: [Analytics] Pagecount Datasets to be Deprecated at the end of May
Hey Dan,
thanks for the reminder! I'm worried there are a lot of community and GLAM tools that
rely on these datasets and are not yet transitioned to the new data sources (like
WikiProject popular pages <https://tools.wmflabs.org/popularpages/> ). Is there any
chance we could get a 1 month reprieve so that Community Tech could track down and fix
some of these tools before the deprecation? Sorry we didn't do this earlier. We just
hired a new developer though and I think this would be a good on-boarding task for them.
Let me know what you think.

Just a reminder, we will be deprecating the pagecounts datasets at the end of May, as we
mentioned earlier this year [0]. This means these files will remain there to be used by
researchers but new files will not be generated in the future.
Pagecounts datasets that will be deprecated
pagecounts-raw
pagecounts-all-sites
Options for switching to the new datasets [1]:
pageviews for the same format but better quality data
pagecounts-ez for compressed data
