11. Columns `bloodType` and `tetanusWithin10Years` from `gibbonPersonMedical` Table and gibbonPersonMedicalUpdate` Table are not getting genereted post upgrading 23.0.2 installation to 24.0.0 These are not necessary and they shall remove these columns from installation in next release.(confirmed with vendor)
12. Since 30.0.00 while manual installation, use utf8mb3_general_ci database collation while creating database as mentioned in docs, also it asks for same while manual installation
https://docs.gibbonedu.org/introduction/system-requirements
13. Remove "default collation" of server from sql file in tables(ex. utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci), This is created automatically by MYSQL while Softaculous install.
