Crypt key from legacy version whatsapp doesn't work on new version database #18

Hi, I tested the following unsuccessfully: I extracted a cypher key from whatsapp version 2.11.431 I copied a local crypted database from whatsapp version 2.18.177 With "WhatsApp Viewer.exe" I tried to decrypt the database. Unfortunately error: "encryption failed.........invalid key". This answers the question in README.md: "The only caveat to this is that I don't know whether the WhatsApp key might change as you upgrade"
