+ + Q: Can I revert to a previous version of task? How? + +
+ A: Yes, you can revert to a previous version of task, + simply by downloading an + older version and + installing it. If you find a bug in task, then this + may be the only way to work around the bug, until a + new release is made. +

+

+ Note that it is possible that the task file format will + change. For example, the format changed between versions + 1.5.0 and 1.6.0. Task will automatically upgrade the file + but if you need to revert to a previous version of task, + there is the file format to consider. This is yet another + good reason to back up your task data files! +
