It’s 1.21.102.1 for the recent BDS, whereas all clients are 1.21.101.x, so they could not connect to the server. If someone starts the new version of BDS (like I did), no one will able to connect to it, and I’m not sure if I can downgrade the server back to 101 without corrupting my world, which has not been backed up for 2 weeks.
I attempted to use an archive version of BDS 1.21.101.1 but the BDS said it was incompatible and then auto-updated to 1.21.102, taking me back to square one.
Our whole server is currently unable to play due to version incompatibility.

Are you going to take care of it? I expect that it would be fixed ASAP. Your recent release just doesn’t work. 1.21.102.1 BDS is not compatible with the latest client version.
