WARNING by default the 6.x-2.x does not support backwards compatibility with the 6.x-1.x branch. Because it would cause security issues.
If you want this, uncomment the lines starting from line 295 in the *.module.

Would it be possible to get a bit more explanation of what this means? Exactly what security issues would be caused by uncommenting those lines? I know 6.x-2.0 was a security release, so I have to install it, but the client whose site I am installing it on is not going to want to lose access to her earlier newsletter statistics...

backwards compatibility
- links in newsletters send prior to 6.x-2.x will not work. Uncommenting those will make them work again.

Security issues involved
- Open redirect
- statistics tempering.

Ah, OK. Thanks. But with the lines commented out, will you still be able to see the stats for the older newsletters?

I'm not too concerned about the links or other content within the old newsletters, just about being able to see the stats.

Yes stats will still be there. It just effects the links in the 6.x-1.x newsletters.
