In this case, the code is old, but the user's database is already on a newer version. This also implies that you should be careful when you rollback code. For example, if you release version 3 and some users start using it, but then you discover an issue and decide to roll back to version 2, those users with a version 3 database will face errors because the rolled-back code cannot handle the newer database version. To protect from errors, we should check `db.version` and suggest a page reload. Use proper HTTP caching headers to avoid loading the old code, so that you'll never have such problems. ```
