Explanation
Downgrading is not the recommended solution for problems. You should first try to upgrade to a newer version that fixes the issue you are facing. Only consider downgrading if upgrading is not possible or does not resolve the problem.
A previous upgrade may have introduced changes that are incompatible with older versions. These changes can affect:
- the database schema,
- the data stored in the permanent directory.
Because of this, downgrading by simply replacing the binaries is unsafe and may lead to data corruption or loss.
