New Chartbook Format

Hi SC,
I am a bit concerned about a few things regarding the new update:

1.a. Chartbook format: Will the chartbooks of version 2092 be perfectly unchanged in the new version and function similarly? I have a setup of multiple charts (with atleast one custom study per chart) using common persistent variables across custom studies and also these are somewhere in the range of 50-100 for each custom study. Would updating to a newer version for deploying my system cause unexpected problems and stoppages?

1.b. Could the data referencing functions from the charts in ACSIL, specifically the index referencing functions (getNearestmatch), and the base identifiers (sc.Open, sc.High) be affected because of the new file format?


2. Persistent variables: In regard to post #1 and #4, I use manual looping and only a couple calls at most to the sc.GetPersistentInt(/Float/Pointer) function, but I do spread around my persistent variables, by placing relevant ones in separate blocks of addresses. Would this need to be changed to account for new version changes?

To be clear, if the new file format is going to be an advantage over current setup, especially in terms of speed of study calculation time and data referencing, I will change my code accordingly but if it's not necessary to do it immediately, I'd like to make this change gradual, since persistent variables and common pointers across charts are a feature in most of my studies.
