The ozone storage mechanism is based on the Java serialization. You can
change everything what it allows you to do. In general this is:
- adding new members
- adding new methods
- removing methods
You should also use the serialVersionUID to mark incompatible changes. More
details on this you'll find in the Java docu about the serialization.
