   Thanks @DuanRuixiao for the feedback! You're right about backward 
compatibility.
   What approach do you think we need, do we need brainstorming? ?
   
   Options I can think of:
   1. Detect and support both formats (auto-detect on read) - could be harder 
and would not be clean.
   2. Document as a breaking change requiring data re-write - simple, not clean 
as users need to read the docs. 
   3. Add a migration tool to convert old files to new format .
