Hi again,

I am in Berlin today and got my answers first hand, so for the record, here they are:

(2a) If the answer to (1) is no: what are/will be the first (or last)
full/current/daily dump files that use the new format?

I did not get an answer to this question,

but since it is certain that each file is in a single format, a viable strategy is to parse with the new format first; if there are errors, try parsing with the old format; if this succeeds even once, the whole remaining file should be parsed in the old format.

(2b) If the answer to (1) is yes: what is the revision number at which
the change was made (i.e., what is the largest revision number that is
still in the old format)?

Not applicable.

Markus
