Hi!

Is it safe to change the definition of a persistant class which already 
had some serialized instances at some other time?

Given some objects got written to the store and you change the class in 
the further development process (reevaluation defclass, rereading 
changed source, etc.) of your project. Will the data be crippled? Just 
right by coincidence? Or no problem at all (as long as you just add or 
remove slots)?


Regards,
Stefan
