Will the release version break missions we are building now?

[BlitzPig_EL]

With all the changes that will be coming with release, and beyond, will I still be able to use the missions I have made so far?

It would be good to know either way, because if they will be broken I won't bother with any more work on current projects.

Just like with GB, yes, this is always possible.

Scenery will most likely be updated so you may have to change it later, but at the very worst you should be able to import your groups and logic to a new map.

As Luke says, it's always possible but the chance is greatest for the compressed .msnbin files. Even if the .mission format is changed to such an extent that it isn't compatible any more, the plain-text format means that it should generally be possible to convert it to the new format with a reasonably advanced text editor (e.g. Notepad++).

In other words, don't worry too much but don't delete the .mission files.

They can also break AFTER launch with further patches, or dlc launches. So no point in holding back now.
