Subject: "Charset file has changed" problem

Hello.

I'm new to this list. I'm running John since ~260 days. Now, I have
updated John to version 1.7 (AMD64, FreeBSD, ports: security/john).
After this update, I have restart john, but become an error-message.
Hope, someone can help me, to restart the old session again.

# john --restore=SESSION
Loaded XX password hashes with X different salts (Traditional DES
     [64/64 BS])
Charset file has changed: /usr/local/share/john/all.chr
#

# tail SESSION.log:
261:20:22:01 Continuing an interrupted session
261:20:22:01 Loaded a total of XX password hashes with X different salts
261:20:22:01 Remaining XX password hashes with X different salts
261:20:22:01 - Hash type: Traditional DES (lengths up to 8, longer
passwords split)
261:20:22:01 - Algorithm: 64/64 BS
261:20:22:01 - Candidate passwords will be buffered and tried in chunks
of 64
261:20:22:01 Proceeding with "incremental" mode: All
