[Vtigercrm-developers] Okay to replace 7.0.1 file with 6.4 version?

[Alex Hall]

I'd definitely keep a backup copy. :) My concern is instroducing bugs or
security concerns by dropping to an old, possibly now patched, version of a
file. I'm not great with PHP, knowing enough to figure things out and make
small web services. I don't know enough to look at someone else's code and
find potential problems with it, especially not when my boss wants his CRM
ready to go as soon as possible. :)
