I’m sorry, but that’s wrong! Downgrading from beta won’t work, because there were database changes since the release of stable. You need to wait for the next stable release before you can switch from beta to stable.

The release of v2.1 is planned for September 10th. I’d suggest you upgrade your beta right now, because it contains important security updates.
