Anybody know if it's possible to update to an older version? I'm back on the .4 release, and I'm kinda nervous about upgrading to the latest version without stepping through earlier releases with all the breaking changes I'm aware of since then.

ETA: Figured it out, if you're running HAOS like me, its as simple as opening the console and running

ha core update --version 2023.5.4 --backup

with your version in place of the 5.4 version obv. Interim upgrade seems to be working so far, will give it a few days and start ratcheting forward until I break something. HAOS instructions and HA Core instructions

I just updated from 2022.11 the other day. I took a VM snapshot first but surprisingly everything is working fine. I have a bunch of custom integrations so I was really thinking I’d run into trouble.

Make a backup and give it a shot.

Did you update straight to 2023.8.x from 2022.11? If so, glad to hear you didn't break anything!

I actually just figured out how to do an interim upgrade this morning (and dropped in my comment it for future needs) and it seems to be working so far. Planning on ratcheting forward over the next week and seeing if anything breaks. I've got a snap on my machine for my current update, but I don't want to lower the PAF with spending all day futzing with my system because I broke something. Its bad enough I'm having to deal with my one of my docker containers that shat the bed last night when I updated it...
