The version number (in the version file) should be used to detect
changes. In this case all you can do is print a message asking them to
update their style based on the blog post and then update the version
number.

Perhaps its a bit late this time, since most people have already made
the changes but certainly for the future. Ideally the number could
be used for backward compatibility too, but at least a message should
be required.
