Worked for me, but backup is always good :-)

Worked for me, too! I tested 0.21 a few weeks ago and it upgraded my database. 
Of course i did a backup, but i tested 0.20.2 with the new schema and it 
worked, so i didn't use the backup.

This way i don't know, but i think not! 0.20.2 FE with 0.21 BE doesn't work, 
checked it during upgrade.

I hope i could help!

0.21 works very good for me, except some small things.
