Upgrade path limitations

When a new feature is added to an earlier version of Blue Prism as well as the latest version, the database may become incompatible with any version between them that do not contain that feature. The database cannot be upgraded to a version that is not compatible with the added feature. This results in invalid upgrade paths.

The table below lists the versions of Blue Prism where this has occurred, and advises the minimum upgrade version for each.
