Upgrade Crowd

To upgrade Crowd, just change the version variable to a newer version. Older binary versions will be kept but won't be used anymore. Remember to delete them manually.

Make sure to back up your data before upgrading, as the Crowd data may not be compatible with older versions. If you specify a version lower than the currently installed version, the operation will fail.

The current version is stored in an Ansible fact at /etc/ansible/facts.d/
