The update to 4.1.10 broke my site... very frustrating.
I have reinstalled from my back up but this is amajor worry... I know not to update it but my client will not!
Is this something you are working on - or is it just me?
I'm running Anacron on iberisprojects.com

Steve this could happen when updating to 4.1.10, we suggest you do the following: make a backup of the site and copy it to a different location do the update on it and then manually add widgets to it that is the only way i hope.
Martin do the same thing and when you are done i can take a look why isn't the overrides saving ... - Available for CUSTOM WORK with Joomla, WordPress and Grav Templates and Gantry Framework!

Wow - that's a frightening solution... rebuild ALL the widgets - so basically, rebuild the whole site.... I don't have time to do that - I'm going to have to just not update.
It's not simply a case of getting the widget and re-adding it to the site. I cannot see the widgets anywhere... or is there somewhere I should be looking? Are they hiding somewhere just waiting for me to tell them where to go?
That would be great... but in my back end all I see are the widget separators - no widgets.
The thing that is most annoying is that this is a relatively new site and the first Gantry update breaks it...

I agree with Steve. Your solution Damir is not a solution.
You need to solve Gantry's issue. We already rebuilt a site and dont have time to rebuild a second one.
Release a new update for Gantry so we can upgrade without breaking sites
