In my own experience, yes.
But I'm not the developer and there is a clear statement: It's a Alpha release!

So don't expect a stable software. From my own experience it feels more stable and finished than the old version from extras. But Bluetooth Buttons are currently not working.
So it's your decision. I missed the Bluetooth implementation and uninstalled the new Alpha, deactivated extra-devel and installed Panucci again to get the old version back. In my opinion it is save enought and worth a try.
