The way the current file format of 3SO and 3SS files
is implemented, files become incompatible with never
builds very quickly. The problem comes from the fact
that Java's serialization is used. This means that if
we change a field or methods in any class that can be
serialized (a lot), the new version of the class
cannot read the state from objects that were
serialized earlier (since Java will complain that the
fingerprint is different). This sucks.
