How Can We Help?
5.9.45.9.4
We are pleased to announce that version 5.9.4 (4.28.4) of Pure is now released
Always read through the details of the release before installing or upgrading to a new version of Pure
Release date: 9 October 2017
Be aware of the Upgrade Notes - failing to adhere to these may result in loss of functionality
PARTICULAR ITEMS TO NOTE WITH THIS RELEASE
Upgrade to 5.9.x required prior to upgrade to 5.10
In order to install the 5.10 release, you must first upgrade to a version of 5.9 (i.e. 5.9.0, 5.9.1, 5.9.2, 5.9.3, or 5.9.4)
We have had to introduce this requirement to ensure the successful migration of content to the new unified Research Output data model
The upgrade to 5.10 will fail before any Research Output migration starts if 5.9.x has not already been installed
Potential loss of attached files due to consecutive 'change template' actions
When changing templates multiple times without running the "Preserved Content Update Job" in between, the information about where attached files are stored is lost. Put differently, changing template twice (or more) on a piece of content before the “Preserved Content Update” job has a chance to copy files into their final storage causes Pure to forget the reference to the file. With the reference lost, the file is deleted.
All content types where files can be added are affected. However, given the particular set of circumstances required to trigger this bug, we expect the number of affected records to be very small.

SciVal switching to HTTPS
- The SciVal integrations will switch to an encrypted connection using HTTPS instead of using HTTP on the 10th of October 2017. This is reflected in Pure from version 5.8.3 on for SciVal. Customers running on earlier versions may need to address this. Click here for more info...
Content validation
You are generally encouraged to check all content in the re-validation workflow step prior to upgrade as changes to the underlying datamodel may not be reflected in the re-validation overview screen (see example)
Further, you are encouraged to check if all content can validate prior to an upgrade of Pure. This check is done by running the Check content and files job and resolving any data validation issues that are flagged by the job
