KEXI 2 -> KEXI 3. KEXI 3 offers the same list of features as KEXI 2 and uses the same format for .kexi files and supports server projects (MySQL, PostgreSQL) with the following exceptions:

No scripting. In KEXI 2 scripting was offered as experimental. We plan to deliver brand new Python based scripting in the future.
No "map" report elements. Supported again since KEXI 3.2. Some behaviors may be different due to a new version of the map component.
No "map" form widgets.

KEXI 1 -> KEXI 3. Support for server projects other than MySQL and PostgreSQL are discontinued. In KEXI 1 there were more servers supported (albeit marked as experimental). KEXI 1 used SQLite backend version 2 while KEXI 2 moved to SQLite version 3, incompatible with version 2. Migration tools to the new version have been released.

KEXI 1 -> KEXI 2.2. Please refer to the list here [1].
