What does "stack was produced by a newer version" mean?

Recently they've been doing a more thorough job of making sure critical 
info moves from the Release Notes into the Dictionary, but I do wish 
they'd budget a day for someone to go back to v4.6.4 forward and make 
sure important things like this are in the docs.

In the meantime, to help compensate for that absence I recently added a 
new section to LiveCode Journal with the Release Notes for most versions 
from v4.6.4 through now:
<http://livecodejournal.com/features/release-notes.html>

Especially useful there is "LiveCode 5.5.4 Release Notes", which AFAIK 
contains the only documentation anywhere on many of the important new 
field features added in that version.
