They made a similar break in the latest GarageBand where the format changed but also 32-bit plugins no longer work, and there's no way to download the old version of GarageBand on a new Mavericks machine. While it will open and update old files, it loses certain settings, sound clips, etc. so I have several "updated" files that are not what I recorded.

In my opinion this is totally unacceptable, and fundamentally opposite their philosophy of solving hard usability problems to make the user's life easier. If they were so committed to that, then they would automatically read and update old files, and do so accurately.

More and more, Mac OS X is becoming a shell for other peoples (preferably open source) software that I actually trust :\
