How to revert to previous release

I have my Rhino 8 update frequency to every Service Release Candidate. It has been going well until an hour ago when it updated to 8 SR5 (8.5.24046.3001, 2024-02-15)
There is now a noticeable delay/lag with most commands.

How can I revert to the previous release?

Thanks!

Uninstall Rhino and then use the previous installer if its still in your downloads. I’ll send you a link to the Service Release.

Can you post your system info? Thanks

Thanks Japhy,

I’ll post that momentarily. If I uninstall, will I lose all of my preferences, plugins, etc?

You won’t lose your grasshopper plugins ect.

back up preferences with OptionsExport

If the layout if custom you can run _SaveWindowLayout

_ExportRuiFile for toolbars

Thanks Japhy, I was able to revert to SR4 ad seems to have fixed the lag. Thanks for your quick help on this!

Can I ask is there any way to download 8.7? I emptied my downloads to save space and I really really need to roll back from 8.8 - it broke my access to scipy in cpython 3

Sent you a link.

Please let us know what isn’t working for you. Thanks.

Many thanks Japhy! I will first do the bug report and then install 8.7 using the link you sent me. I posted on the forum under this thread: Problem using CPython Libraries - #23 by brian9

But I’ll do a separate post on this issue

Hi…

I am having same issue for 8.9. Having crashes after update…
Can I also have a link to previous releases? Thanks

HJ

Pls don’t double post. I replied to your post in the other thread.

Hello, I am having huge issues with the latest release, can I get a download driver for Rhino 8 for mac for the 8.1 release? I deleted my driver after the download so no longer have access. My file won’t stop crashing when exporting to PDF and I have a huge deadline due today. This is not ideal.

Hello, I’m having huge issues with Hops in the latest Rhino release (8.12). Can I get a link to the 8.10 release for Windows?

Thanks in advance,
Dawid

Hi Dawid -

Where are those issues reported?
Have you tried the public 8.13 candidate to see if anything was resolved?
-wim

@wim this is the same error that I found here: Rhino compute hangs in 8.12.

I asked a few friends and got the installer for 8.11 that they found in their “…\McNeelUpdate\DownloadCache” folder so I’m good.

Hi Japhy - would it be possible to be sent the Rhino8.19 release? I just updated to 8.20 and it has disabled many of my gh components. Many thanks!

Sent a link to the Windows 8.19 English version.

Apologies, I am working on the Mac version, 8.19, thank you!

Would it be possible to get the 19 release again? I notice some problems with the 8.20.xxx versions, some problems and change in behavior, so I would like to downgrade to 19 again.

Problem in connection with rhino.compute

Fatal error. System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.
Repeat 2 times:
--------------------------------
   at UnsafeNativeMethods.CRhinoUnroll_CreateFlatBreps(IntPtr, Double, Int32 ByRef, Int32 ByRef, Int32 ByRef, Int32 ByRef)

Which was not a problem before.

Change in behavior is that somehow in grasshopper plane getting the plane center behaves differently.

Sent, let us know how this turns out for you. Thanks!

Would you also be able to send the 19 release, 8.20 is giving me issues with RiR using the Python3 component?
