There was an issue that the data file changed format at one stage. It
may have been after your version though. The issue was that the new
version of md would read the old data files ok, but once saved older
versions couldn't read the updated data.

If you back up your data and your old .jar file you should be right. Or
install it into a completely different directory to the older
version(and back up your data file).

Moneydance has been very stable for a long time though, and I've had no
problems with upgrades.
