Chances the memory update will be save compatible?

Not really sure what this depends on but do you think the next update will be compatible with saves from 0.44.09 or should I not get too attached to my current fort?

I'd say a relatively safe bet is that it'll be save compatible in that it won't crash, but the memory changes might not take affect until you gen a new world.

The next arc will not be compatible with the saves from the current arc, but the current saves are most likely going to be compatible until then. As usual, new stuff might not appear in upgraded saves (such as art forms, when they were introduced, pedestals when this arc started). For data restructured I would guess there's a rather significant chance Toady implements restructuring of old data into the new format (as supporting two formats in parallel during play is likely to be more work).
