5.9.4 Upgrade Notes5.9.4 Upgrade Notes

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...
