AFAIK the standalone settings are stored in custom properties, and do 
not rely on anything specific to the new format for storage.

I believe the only difference is where they're stored:  in earlier 
versions they were in a separate stack file, and in the newer versions 
they do what my standalone builder has been doing for years, storing 
them in custom properties directly in the stack.

Custom props should not be affected regardless of which format the stack 
is in, so I would imagine the same 2.4-format stack could be used in 
either IDE version, no?
