I would doubt that since that change only added contents to the  
metamodel. But, maybe it did.

Yes, we can work on getting a migration script for CoSMIC 0.8.3. With  
this being said, when reporting a migration problem, please provide  
the following information (just like with any other bug):

1. The error message displayed when the import fails.
2. The output on the Console window in GME.
3. Several lines in the .xme files before and after the line number  
that is failing.

Ok, great!

Thanks,

James
