So if you are using the Export/Import functionality, you will not be able to export a library on 7.10 and import it on 3.48. If you are using 7.10 and exporting your library, you will be able to import it on calibre 7.10 or newer. If you are using calibre 6.29 and export your library, you will be able to import it on calibre 7.x.

This has nothing to do with creating a catalogue of your library books from the Convert Books menu.
It did always limit to 1G till the FTS was added. That exported in one file which was fine if destination was NTFS, ext2, ext4, exFAT, HPFS etc, but not FAT32 (as it is 4G per file max). My FTS file was 20 GB.

So that's why Kovid quickly made the change. A few things don't work with exFAT, or my 128G USB stick wouldn't have been FAT32!
