Primitives may have changed and the old methods could be calling the wrong primitives. Every upgrade requires an image upgrade as well as an executable upgrade.

Actually, I exaggerated slightly. Occasionally there will be an upgrade with only executable changes, but this is pretty rare and the image upgrade step will still be available and does no harm.

Actually, it is (Globals at: #DbfHistory), but it looks like you found it! I was concerned that you thought that you had some fixes described in the 3.1.0.5 release notes but didn’t actually have them. It looks like you have done it right and now can go to 3.1.0.6 to get the subsequent image and executable changes.
