Hi @adsharma,

Thanks for reporting! We are aware of this bug. v0.8.1 accidentally introduced a storage change that leads to incompatible storage. However, some platform does not allow reverting a released version. So we are trying to release a new version 0.9 #5062 soon.

Hi @adsharma as a temporary workaround, you could use the migrate feature to move your data from 0.8.0 to 0.8.2 if you want to use the latest version:

Yes, I can work around. Wasn't sure if you were aware of the problem. Looks like you are!
