Same BWA INDEX files for 0.7.12 and 0.7.13 versions?

Does someone know can the BWA index reference files (.amb, .ann, .bwt, .pac, .sa) generated with 0.7.12 version be used for BWA MEM processing with 0.7.13. version?

Thanks, Vladimir

Minor version revisions will never make big changes to critical things like search index so it should be fine to use the index made with older version. You will find out quickly, if for some reason that is not the case :-)
