AFAIK, the newest releases can always read older files done in previous versions. AFAIK, this has been like that for a long time now. The one thing to keep in mind is if one wants to test the closest to the edge possible version... it is advisable to work on copies of your document since the development versions are not as stable as the stable version (not my best sentence in English but I guess you get the point!!!) and since sometimes you cannot go back too...
