1. The new minifier should work the same as the old one, and that includes full support for savegames.
2. The new minifier doesn't achieve quite as small sizes as the old one, which is a known difference, but it has much better support for modern JavaScript so we have to switch to it anyway to be able to keep making further improvements to Construct. It should still be highly effective at protecting projects against reverse-engineering as it still makes the code very difficult to read.
It works for me.

Our LTS schedule is oriented around a summer release for the next LTS branch - and we've already released it.
We don't currently intend to backport any new features to LTS releases. The goal is only to maintain them with essential bug fixes and compatibility updates.
Send your project to supportpfa@construct.net and we'll take a look. Note most such recent cases have been due to an issue this guide covers.
You can already do a similar thing if you add instance variables to act as signal parameters.
All we did is change an audio playback workaround that was already used in some cases, to be used in more cases.
There are no changes in this update that should affect project compatibility. If you believe there is a new problem, please file an issue following all the guidelines.
Currently as the image formats are chosen on export, there isn't a way to choose which to use in preview - so at the moment it uses the default option which is WebP. Given how good AVIF is though we may update that in future, or make a project setting for the image formats.
See the section "Using it in Construct".
See this guide which might help.
It does property renaming but keeps the existing name, e.g. UglifyJS will rename obj.apples to obj._$apples$_. This can help you figure out why some code doesn't work in 'Advanced' minify mode, as it still renames properties, but you can still read the code.
