@github-actions github-actions released this 13 Mar 08:46

If you have 5.0.0 or 5.0.1 installed via official installer (.exe) then MAKE SURE TO BACKUP your data5 and (potentially) data4 folders manually BEFORE you perform the upgrade. These 5.0.0/5.0.1 installers have the bug and they delete your user data folder by mistake! The bug is fixed in 5.0.2+ installers.

Also note that newer 5.0.4+ installers properly keep your RSS Guard 5 settings but delete everything else. Make sure to move your RSS Guard 4 data away and backup it when performing upgrades!!

I even enhanced the installers to now automatically ignore all folders with name data*. So I expect 5.0.4+ installers to be really cautious about user data.

I am again really sorry for the bug. I can only recommend making manual backups and using zip archive version of RSS Guard to install everything manually, just to be sure.
