The change log for today's update has been released (Not the update yet).
It should be noted by all mission planners that no missions will work with the new version of DCS World. Whether it will be an open and resave job, or a major rewrite remains to be seen, but be aware that you will need to update any mission needed after the change.
I will delay updating the servers until we have a consensus here that we can bite the bullet.

Good thinking, Matt is up next week but we could always delay while the dust settles.

Yes, we’ll not know until it finishes downloading what we need to do to update existing missions.

Re: 2.7 Drops today
Missions created in DCS 2.7 are incompatible with old DCS versions.
So I assume if they're created in 2.5 we're all good.

Re: 2.7 Drops today
Probably not. Weather, and some other features including triggers may mean we need to update everything. We shall soon see.
