Does Houdini Indie still use .hiplc and .hdalc file formats?

Hi all, I recently purchased Indie for myself (using 20.5) but have only ever used commercial licenses in the past.

When I save and load files in Indie it's using .hip and .hda extensions. From the docs I was expecting .hiplc and .hdalc. Is the underlying format different for Indie but uses the same extensions as commercial or has something changed?

Main reason I care is I'm creating an open source package in Indie that I'll post to Github. If the file formats can be used across Indie and Commercial I'll leave it at that. But if not then I'll upload to Orbolt where assets are autoconverted [www.orbolt.com].

Thanks!

Sorry only just started playing, I see now, I can load .hip and .hda files in Indie, but can't save them.

Can you load .hiplc and .hdalc files in Core and FX? I'm assuming no so I'll need to go the Orbolt route
