## Notes
If you recently updated `zoxide` from an older version to `v0.3` and are
seeing the following error:
```
Error: could not deserialize old database
Caused by:
io error: failed to fill whole buffer
```
It is because v0.2 and v0.3 databases are incompatible. There is a script to
automatically migrate your database to the new format, but it seems to be
failing on some systems.
For a quick fix, you can try removing the old database file: `rm ~/.zo`
