When I've made changes to PCB I've tried to achived backward AND forward
compatibility.  However, it's important to note that part of what makes
that possible is that much of the "state" of the board is computed
dynamically.  So you can't, for example, load a board into a new PCB that
clears your poly correctly, and then save it and expect the good poly to
appear in older versions.  Your exported output (eg gerber) is dependent
on both your board and the PCB version you export from.  If you use an
older OR newer PCB you might get different results.  Hopefully with a
newer version it will be better results...
