Q: Can I revert to a previous version of task? How?
</b>
<br />
A: Yes, you can revert to a previous version of task,
simply by downloading an
<a href="versions.html">older version</a> 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.
</p>
<p>
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!
