Tasmota uses SPIFFS (SPI Flash File System) memory to store many options and settings. Newer versions of Tasmota add features and use more and more of this area than earlier versions. These regions of flash were therefore not used by Tasmota before. If you did not erase flash when you originally flashed your device, a newer update may be accesssing areas with values left over from the original factory firmware. Therefore there could be unexpected behavior. It is best to address this before upgrading across major versions of Tasmota.
