Hello all !

I'm in the process of doing housekeeping on my computers and I have a question I have been avoiding...

My wife has a laptop running OSX 10.6.8 and using calibre 1.4.8
My laptop runs OSX 10.9.x and also has calibre 1.4.8

The newest versions of Calibre won't run on OSX 10.6.x

Both of our laptops are configured to use a single library located on a shared network drive. (which is on a computer running OSX 10.6.8 and has calibre 1.4.8 running in server mode for use with our ebook readers.)

Question:
If I use the library with the current 2.20 version, will that screw things up for her using that same library with 1.4.8. ?

This is of course assuming we don't both access it at the same time.

I can't seem to find any info about library compatibility across major version changes.

P.S. Upgrading either OSX 10.6.8 machine is not an option
