I was using 1.9.4 I believe for a while. I had an address I used all the time for receiving BTC. Right after upgrading to 1.9.5 it changed all my receive addresses to new ones. I really want to keep my original addresses, since they were statically configured/setup at different places. How can I get back those addresses?
Also, if those addresses are gone, where did they go?
After thinking about this for a while, this is a serious issue. If someone used an address with an older version and passed that address around and uses it as a deposit address or something then you upgrade to the newer version you are royally screwed here. I have my "old" Electrum receive address used on several sites as a deposit address, even as a donation address. Now those addresses are gone after the upgrade. The history is still there, but the addresses are gone. The more I think about it, the more serious this issue is. Has anyone else lost all their receive addresses when upgrading to the latest version?
