+  Ardour supports loading session files created with older versions of the
+  program. The oldest known version is 2.8 released in 2009. With very few 
+  exceptions, Ardour will load all session data from such files. The data that 
+  cannot be supported (e.g. the old fade of storing region fades) will be
+  skipped entirely.
