definitely not 6.3.1. About 6.4 vs 7.0 .. I don't know, opinions?

output data and restart data are two different stories. The latter case
might still work because I do not remember much (recent) activity on that
side. Data produced with the old output data format will be unreadable by
new code versions. Data produced with earlier versions of the new output
data format ... might still be readable by the new code version, at least
in simple cases (that is: no exotic options) but no warranty.
