error: It seems like you tried to open an older WhatsApp database...

I've been getting the message since this week: "It seems like you tried to open an older WhatsApp database. Please try to use an older version of WhatsApp Viewer.", in an other program "Error: no such table: messages" Has anything changed?

Getting the same problem. I've extracted msgstore.db and wa.db directly from the root database folder in com.whatsapp.
