Hey @ahctangU

Are you using the release with a data directory from an older version? Which version are you upgrading from?

3

@ahctangU dgraph v20.07 and v20.11 are incompatible. You’ll have to do a backup/restore or an export/import.

4

I see. In that case, why does master work? Isn’t master newer than rc3?

@ibrahim can you point me where in the docs is this stated? also, is Dgraph using semver? because an incompatible change like this worth a major version change

Also, the error the throw the logs are outdated, as it included a broken link Please see https://github.com/dgraph-io/badger/blob/master/README.md#i-see-manifest-has-unsupported-version-x-we-support-y-error on how to fix this.
