Current (as of a few minutes ago) is 0.9beta18.4...

It is supposed to open old projects, but a couple of Planet CCRMA users
have reported problems with that. I suggest you keep an old version of
ardounr around for old projects (yesterday I added a special package to
Planet CCRMA with a build of 0.9beta11.2 that can be installed at the
same time as the newest ardour, apt-get install ardour-beta11-2 to get
it). 

So, if you upgrade (from 11.2) keep a backup of your old sessions before
you try the new ardour.
