Replays created in .15 cannot be played due to version miss-matches between the created, 'mods' base and map versions. The replay save will show the versions of 'mods' base and map to adequately match the current client, but upon attempting to load the replay an error is presented that the replay was created in a lower version.

It should be safe to load updated replays, however they should have stamps between version updates, allowing a replay to be loaded from a selected 'safe' point if the created version contains replay-breaking bugs.

The created version of the save should also be listed along with the other versions, so we can actually see it.

Well, this is working as intended, we don't support replays across even minor versions

Which is a problem, because it means that replays virtually never work, unless you lock the game to a specific version and never update...

Which is generally not a problem,
If you don't want replays to break, I would suggest you stick to only Stable releases
