If I understand Cato correctly, this is a correct statement. You can take a .MDB file created from OOTP4 and Cato 4.x and open it in the 5.2 utility and it will convert the data properly.
You won't be able to add new Cato 5.x features (like trade splits, etc.) to the old (4.x) data that was already in the .MDB database though. New data will have it however.
For example, let's say I have a 4.x database for year 2003 that has no trade split info. If I open this database in Cato 5.2, it will convert the data so I can add year 2004 (OOTP5 format) WITH the trade split info, but trade split info for 2003 will still be missing.
I think the "not compatible with previous versions" thing meant that you couldn't use Cato 5.x with OOTP4 league files.
