OK, that's what I wanted to know.

How can I know exactly what would cause file incompatibility ?

I have read Abiword 2.6 changelog and I can't find any new feature that would
cause incompatibility.
On the other hand, I have seen that Abiword 2.8 added SVG support, so I expect
incompatibilities.

I'm not planning to upgrade Abiword on the server (Ubuntu 6.06).
