I get now often following error after git pull today:

codejet

highly advise staying off the beta releases, the idea is great for testers maybe not so great for ppl wanting stable components

Boris Dragosani

Sorry if I bother some one to much, I am aware of the problems of the main branch and I know, that I am using the main branch and it can destroy my forum, my computer, create singularity and wipe the universe. I thought I can help , if I see such errors and do not have time to look on it deeply just now, than I write it here. If this is wrong place or no body find it useful, I will not write it here anymore.

Although it seems you might have an invalid category in your database.

Boris Dragosani

Thank you for the reply! It has fixed the problem, and it was indeed invalid category, I need also check the database, able somewhere is a invalid reference ...
