reverse upgrade

[edernest]

I'd like to see some facility to revert to the previous build after a kjam upgrade in the event of problems. The most recent build is not working on my machine (i've entered a bug report) and i tried downloading the previous build but it won't run.

every version i post is always available, so you can manually download any previous version.

If, as you say, you "tried downloading the previous build but it won't run", then perhaps the previous version is busted too, at least for you, so try a version before that. Making it automated would only "automatically" crash.

It would not make sense to offer an automated way to do that, because if the current version does not even run, it won't be able to help you to download a previous version. Besides you can just do it yourself.

The previous build ran perfectly prior to the upgrade. I'll try to downgrade again and send you the error so you can tell me what I did wrong.

i just posted a fix, try that first

you did nothing wrong, the fault was squarely mine

That's fine, as long as downloading a previous build would normally work I'd consider that acceptable. I'll try the new build later tonight, thanks.

reverting to a previous version makes it work 99% of the time. however in this case, this particular bug saved the database in a slightly different format that would have caused the bug to then manifest in the previous versions. I always try to do everything in my power to prevent this bug it got by me this time.

No worries. Thanks for the fix- it is working fine now.
