They should work pretty much as written.  As far as I know, everything
is upward compatible.

The first thing I'd do after the upgrade is something like:

  amadmin <config> tape

The output is not what's interesting.  The interesting thing is if it
throws any errors, since it fully parses your config files.

You do understand the 'b' in the name means "Beta", right?  As in,
we're still coding (and documenting), and if you run into trouble,
we sort of expect you to be able to do some debugging.

If you want a more stable release, I'd recommend 2.4.2p2.
