Yes, this is because the file format in the master repository is not
the same than in the released alpha version. If you have saved files
with the former, you need the former to edit them. I wouldn't use alpha
anyway, try to build from the master repository.

The file format changes during development phase (in order to implement
new features). It is only frozen when we head towards a release.
