The important bits didn't really change (at least in ways that would
hurt us). Guillaume already worked on adding the new info.

I looked at them briefly when preparing for my talk at FOSDEM and
didn't see anything that I didn't like the look of. Honestly though,
pretty much any structured format would work for us - my main concern
is that we get the extra info that we couldn't previously get because
it would bloat the text output - for example, the schema name for
every relation.
