I did start an instance on beta channel. Today I found that it is not sending digests. To ensure this is a bug in dev I downgraded to stable. All digest are sent but the frontend never come back with a 500.
I have no glue, why this happens, but I checked
`Jobs::EnqueueDigestEmails.new.target_user_ids`
wich results in a list of user.ids in stable but an empty one in dev.
Are there some fields that should be unset or upgraded manually?

You cannot safely downgrade because of the DB migrations. The only safe way to move to stable is to stop upgrading just before the next stable major version is released and switch over.
