Backtesting results are different after loading version 1953

Hello, up until version 1939, my backtesting results were consistent. I just loaded version 1953 and noticed the backtesting results are vastly different. To double check my study, I also re-ran version 1939 with the same study again and the results matched my old results.
So, have you done some changes to 1953 which has caused such different results? Or is this a bug in the new version?
I don't know which numbers to believe now.

Probably a good idea to post the studies that are in your back test chart

Thank you. I think a couple of things have changed in the Global symbol settings. I need to just figure out what my earlier settings were.

Thank you. I did need to re-enable Global Settings >> Symbol Settings >> Use Custom Symbol Settings Values and change rollover date values to get previous backtest results.

Yes.. thank you. It's important for you to document what all has changed in each version including smaller things that I mentioned above. I was literally freaking out and was almost ready to revert back to my earlier backed up version.

This was documented in the notes for 1953.
