Hi. I need to use Anki’s version 2.1.19. It’s the only one that doesn’t give me problems and allows me to use certain add-ons for my decks like the regex search that a user did (since Anki’s native gives me problems). And I just found out that your application is not compatible with my version anymore. Is there any way I can go back to an old version that works fine for me like it used to? Thank you for your work and a greeting. ---

There is an [old versions archive](https://apps.ankiweb.net/downloads/archive/). Unfortunetely, the` 2.1.19` is not there. Most add-ons support `2.1.15`, does that version work for the particular add-ons you rely on? If not I guess Damien could facilitate you the 2.1.19 version in question. ---
