We're currently trying out BP v6.9 in our Test and QA-environments.
There are several issues with this version, and we're wondering if anyone has tried downgrading from 6.9 to 6.8, and the steps to do so.

There are, however, a couple issues with 6.9 that may always be a 'thing' for 6.9, but I think the benefits of 6.9 outweigh those minor problems. I've been developing in 6.9 for weeks now, and I like it overall, especially given that the browser slowness issue is being addressed pretty quickly.
You'll want to test that the ephemeral ports setting works in your environment. Basically, just do various testing with multiple browsers at the same time (Chrome & Firefox, for example).
If you don't need it for production right away, then I'd say go for 6.9.

I'm in the starting point of a brand new BP installation and was prepared to go forward with 6.9.
After reading this I am kind of spooked! 🙂
Should I wait a few more days?
Or install 6.8 and upgrade when next version comes out?
And, if so where can I find 6.8 download?
Thanks,
I appreciate all the feedback I have been reading from you. 🙂

Comes down to what you need and your appetite for risk. Most companies I have worked for normally run on an n-1 release schedule.

Sounds like more trouble than it's worth, considering some of the issues will be fixed.
The biggest complaint we had was the stability of the chrome extension, but I can see that there's a new version available already.
"Version 2.2.0.3 of the Blue Prism 6.9 browser extension, which addresses this issue for Google Chrome is available from 26 October 2020. "
The rest are the issues you've already raised in this thread. https://community.blueprism.com/communities/community-home/digestviewer/viewthread?MessageKey=5e83dc1e-383e-4f6a-8507-b5b957e0e846&CommunityKey=3743dbaa-6766-4a4d-b7ed-9a98b6b1dd01&tab=digestviewer#bm...
Would you consider the interactions with Chrome more stable and functional in 6.9 than in previous versions?

All known issues exclusive to 6.9 we considered with none or low impact and only one doesn't have a workaround. That turned the scale in favor of 6.9!
Some of the new enhancements and features are, at least, interesting!
I have my hands on a new yet very small solution (only two Runtime Resources) and three developers. I think it's manageable even with the known issues.
Nevertheless, thanks for your opinion.

I think with the Chrome extension issue resolved then I can't see any major problems that we could face.
Am I missing something here?
