Was there a difference?

There will be some definite hiccups since the 2.5.0 generated date
index files will not contain the special comment declarations that
2.4.9 would need to update the date index.  I did not think about
issuing warnings when trying to downgrade to previous versions.

You can regen the index file by doing something like the following:

	mhonarc -editidx -nomsgpgs ...

The -nomsgpgs will cause mhonarc to skip editing message file
pages.  Therefore, only index pages will be regenerated.

IMPORTANT: If your main index page (in this case the date index)
is screwed up, you will have to delete it first if using v2.4.9, or
earlier of MHonArc.
