I started a reply to this assuming that you meant a version before  
1.0 ('004' in the old Outlook binary speak, or 1.0a4).  However, did  
you maybe mean 1.0.4?  If so, that's still the latest stable version  
(if it ain't broke...)  If not, then the rest of this may be applicable:

0.4 is so long ago that I honestly can't remember.  For a while,  
releases have had a "incompatible changes" section at the top of the  
release notes indicating if there was anything that would need to be  
changed.  You can view the old versions of this via CVS:

<http://spambayes.cvs.sourceforge.net/spambayes/spambayes/ 
WHAT_IS_NEW.txt?view=log>

(The ones that have a "tag" of a release are the version of  
particular interest).

However, this only goes back to the 1.0a2 release, which means that  
any changes in 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8 (maybe there wasn't a 0.8?  I don't  
recall), and 0.9 won't be mentioned.

The best thing to do would be to simply try it and post a (detailed)  
request for help here if it doesn't work.
