           read new version data
           break;
         case 1: // next-to-newest version

A CObject-derived class may use VERSIONABLE_SCHEMA combined (using bitwise OR) with the schema version itself (in the IMPLEMENT_SERIAL macro) to create a “versionable object,” that is, an object whose Serialize member function can read multiple versions. The default framework functionality (without VERSIONABLE_SCHEMA) is to throw an exception when the version is mismatched.
