No, it does not.  Some function parameters have changed, and you will
need to make small changes to your post-processing codes to make them
compile with 4.5.1, but all the old functionality is still there.
However, if you want to take advantage of the new selection
functionality in 4.5 and make your post-processing tools much more
powerful, you will need to use the new template.

If you change your tools to make them compile against 4.5.1, they
should work just fine.  If you use the ones compiled for 4.0.7, they
should be able to read a trajectory from 4.5.1 without problems, but
they can't read .tpr files from 4.5.1, so in practice you may run into
problems.
