@f1prince I think you have misunderstood my post; I know about the change of settings, my problem is that post upgrade none of the settings have bene migrated and I suspect that this is because of the change that you have referred to in the change log.
For info to others: after rolling back to the previous version everything is working again so I suspect that the settings are still stored in the old location and that 1.1.6 doesn’t look at the old location to migrate to the new location.
