My Discourse version is v2.1.0.beta3 +32 and latest version is 2.1.0.beta5. I want to switch to stable version. For that I’m refraining from upgrading. Should I upgrade or not until a v.2.1 stable version releases? I am confused because it’s saying “A critical update is available. Please upgrade!” in the dashboard. Please help.
