The renewal programme has been going on for about 2 years now, the definitive cedula will be the yellow one with halogram and colour photo which has been issued for about the past 6/7 years for all new and duplicate cedulas.
The deadline that exists is that on 31st December 2009 all old type of cedulas of which there are two (white paper ones which had to be laminated and the plastic cream/beige one) will cease to be valid so the new one has to be used or be in "tramite" as you get a contrasena.
I haven't done mine but they are taking a long time here at the London Consulate, my dad's took a year and a half to get his, my mum is still in tramite since last October and the problem is well known as the Registraduria has had lots of issues with the company producing the cedulas, so much so that they were fined this week about 500 milliones I believe.
What I don't know is about what happens if you are stuck in limbo and want to exist the country will it be ok to travel with a contrasena?

many thanks sandra. the cedular we have is a kind of yellow colour has a hologram of an condor or eagle on a globe and a poor colour photo still a little confused as the fecha de expedicion is oct 1994 but i remember we got this copy after the old one was lost and it was issued in 2005 so i asume this is the correct one

Smell,

The one you have is good.

I lost my original black and white one and got my new one in 2000 with the hologram, and DAS told me that one is the one they are using now so no worries for you.

If you own the yellow card with the holograms, issued since 2000, you are OK and no new card is needed. If you have the old white or coffee colored plastic laminate card those become invalid December 31 2009. You should have no problems entering and if you do just advise you were waiting until your return to Colombia to renew. Leaving you might get a hard time but likely not be stopped.
