Yeah, like Tim said: the file format is staying the same.
There are only two changes going on:
1. LDraw.org semi-officially endorses the .LDR extension as the standard for
LDraw files. This stance doesn't have a *direct* effect on anything.
2. Program writers hopefully will change their programs to recognize .LDR as
the default filetype-extension for LDraw files. So your LDraw files will be
saved as model1.ldr, instead of model1.dat.
