I can't speak for what versions support which type (old,new) but I do know that if you read the "computer programming using GNU smalltalk" book that was released last year, they push the new style format (see page 61).. I believe this is mostly GST specific for the most part.. I don't think any of the other ST players (Cincom, Pharoah, Squeak,etc) have one particular standard they follow -- there are conversion tools to move between the dialects..
