Upon upgrading to CB 2.1.0, new "alias" field supplanted former 51st field

Upon upgrading to CB 2.1.0, new "alias" field supplanted former 51st field was created by quantumgravity
For this site, the 51st CB field out of 76 total fields had been the "phone" field, which was a user-defined text field. After upgrading to CB 2.1.0, this field was replaced by the "alias" field, which is a "Predefined name and username" field. The title of the field is the same as what had been chosen for "phone", but all other attributes are the "alias" field, where "alias" is apparently the URL for the profile. We didn't have an "alias" field before this.

If the "alias" field was to be added as a new system field, I'm assuming it should have become the 77th field. But it acted as if it thought there were only 50 fields used.

Luckily, I did this on a test site. But I was hoping after many changes to move the test site to production. Is there any simple way to recover from this, and is it the bug it appears to be?

Latest CB build 2.1.0+build.2016.12.28.01.24.32.d61585943 no longer does this. It simply adds the alias field as a new field and doesn't depend on a reserved field id anymore. Previously it was using reserved field id 54.

OK. Just to be sure: back on the production site, when I upgrade to CB 2.1.0, will the Joomla updater grab the most recent build?
