+# Steps to add support for a new database version:
+
+- Add a new enum variant for every new database version
+- Add version transition for each DBVersion in `migrate_db` method.
+- Add steps required for new migration in `migrate` method. In each migration
+  step, can either do in place migration or use temp_db/ to migrate data from
+  existing db but finally it must atomically rename temp_db/ back to existing db
+  name.
+- Update `LATEST_DB_VERSION` to latest database version.
