So far, libraries and their contained elements were not upgraded to the latest file format unless the user opened and saved them manually. Basically this works fine, but for long term it means there are lots of outdated files in the workspace which requires us to keep backwards compatibility forever. In addition , the background scan takes ages longer because it temporarily upgrades each element in memory before it can be added to the cache database.
To avoid these two problems, the background library scan now automatically upgrades any outdated library element in the workspace to the latest file format. This takes long on the first scan, but any further scan in massively faster then. In addition, it ensures that all files in the workspace are stored in the latest file format.
