I do not speak for Truecrypt and ultimately you must make your own
assessment of whther the new version is suitable for your circumstances.
However, the version history, http://www.truecrypt.org/docs/?s=version-
history, does not indicate any loss of backward compatibility with existing
partitions/container-files (although some encryption algorithms will no
longer be supported for *creating* partitions/containers).

Moreover, if you encounter difficulties you could always revert to an
earlier version of Truecrypt. And in the worst case you could always fall
back on your partition backups (you do have backups, right?)

Now, with my avuncular due-diligence warnings out of the way, let me say
that, if history is a guide, new versions of Truecrypt have always been
very solid with respect to backwards compatibility.
