Using version 0.2.3 on windows

We are having issues to reproduce it. Can you post the code and the traceback?

I think this was fixed. Can @Gryfenfer97 confirm it?

I forgot if I have tested this. However the migration system has been changed so it might have been fixed.

@Gryfenfer97 please do check it or close the issue :)

I have never been able to reproduce this bug. It might have been fixed. We can still re-open it afterward if we realize it is still there.
