on Julia 1.5.1 any clues as to what may be causing the problem? (cc @ablaom ) Thanks!

[oxinabox]

Yep, Julia changed the serialisation format.
Not much we can do about it.
You'll need to load it in a version of Julia corresponding to that which it was saved it.

You can pull that out of the JLSO metadata.

Can/should we add this info to the error message somehow?

[oxinabox]

Wait this is weirder.
This isn't trying to read a JLSO file with the wrong version.
This is an error occuring when loading Memento.jl

[nickrobinson251]

Memento depends on TimeZones ...could it be JuliaTime/TimeZones.jl#288?

[rofinn]

Yeah, sorry, this is a re-occuring issue that I've seen people raise in slack and discourse with various packages (e.g., TimeZones.jl, Memento.jl, JLSO.jl, LibPQ.jl). I think Lyndon's suggestion would be pretty easy to add though.

[rofinn]

Closed since the solution is just to rebuild TimeZones.jl.
