Does Upgrade Change Existing URLs?

I noticed that the latest release creates URLs with dashes instead of underscores and uses the title as the alias rather than a number. If I upgrade to the latest release, will it change all the existing URLs?


Also, can I change it so that it creates URLs based on the cms' page number rather than the title so that a change of the page alias doesn't cause a broken link for others?

No, only newer pages will get this format.

Page alias can be overwritten, but all links to the old one will be broken.

There is a "movedpages" module to send HTTP 301 redirects.
