 * Changelog of latest version details change to shortcode format. But no indication
   if ‘old style’ shortcodes will need to be changed globally, or if old style shortcodes
   in old posts will still work properly.
 * Relucatant to update without knowing if the update will break older posts with
   the old shortcode style.

 * Yes, older posts will be broken. See other recent support threads for ways to
   fix it.
