#114 xca silently ignores database items. should show warning in gui.
When opening a database with an older xca version, xca ignores items it can't read.
When several people are working on the same xca database, they might not always have the same version of xca and items modified by somebody with a new version will become unavailable to users of an older xca version.
Currently xca only shows on the console when it ignores database items.
...
Item[someserver]: Version 4 > known version: 3 -> ignored
Item[some-intermediate-ca]: Version 4 > known version: 3 -> ignored
Item[John Doe]: Version 4 > known version: 3 -> ignored
...
I suggest a warning when opening such a database and the options to [Continue] or [Close].
Also: The documentation (changelog, release notes) doesn't state which Version of xca writes which version of database items.

Version 2.0 will handle this better
