Stuck on 1Password Nightly Build
A couple of days I made the mistake of accidentally choosing the "nightly" branch in settings (from the stable version).
I immediately changed it back, however 1Password updated to the Nightly bran...
If you're running a nightly build, it has upgraded the internal database structure to its new version. This upgrade takes place for every new app version. If you want to switch back to a stable release, you cannot directly go back, because that stable version is older, thus it cannot deal with the upgraded database.
If you observe the release cycle thoroughly, you will see that every day a new nightly is released. Every week a beta is released instead of a nightly, and about every month a stable release is released instead of a beta. In general you can say once a week one nightly is picked and released as beta, and once a month one nightly is picked and released as release.
Because of this, you continue to receive nightly builds even if you switched back to the stable release channel, up to the date when a new stable release is released. This moment you get the new stable release, which also supports that upgraded internal database structure, and you're back to stable.
If you ask me, the nightly builds are as good as releases. They are not experimental, continuously crashing development versions that destroy your data every other day - no. They just change slightly more often than the stable versions, but I've never seen any destructive element the last 2 years.
