contact list and groups are gone

[Tutek]

Hi,
I have problem with miranda with the latest upgrades, the problem is when I open miranda I have blank contacts and contacts groups there is nothing here. I need copy my .dat file from autobackups folder and restart Miranda, but the problem occurs again.
Now my miranda version is Miranda NG Version: 0.96.4.1 build #26387 (767e1e5a72) x64
I never had this problem until the latest patches came out (last days).

Try to delete the groups.json file from the profile folder.

the list of groups and their settings are no longer stored in the database, they are now stored in groups.json file in the profile.

Perhaps there was some incorrect symbol in the group name and after transferring the storage of information about groups from the database to JSON, this incorrect symbol ruined everything
