Saves between versions tend to work semi-well assuming it's not something like 0.3 to 0.4. However, some things tend to glitch out and work sparsely if at all. The save itself always remembers the version it's created in, but the game you open will try to be the one that the game itself is.
If you want reliability, you need a new save. If all else fails, save edits do exist, though it's incredibly difficult to find the right attributes on this game.
