 Add the L<DBIx::Class::Schema::Versioned> schema component to your
 Schema class. This will add a new table to your database called
-C<SchemaVersions> which will keep track of which version is installed
+C<dbix_class_schema_vesion> which will keep track of which version is installed
 and warn if the user trys to run a newer schema version than the
 database thinks it has.

+warns if they are not the same or if the DB is unversioned. It also provides
+compatibility between the old versions table (SchemaVersions) and the new one
+(dbix_class_schema_versions).
