How Can We Help?
5.15.0 Upgrade Notes5.15.0 Upgrade Notes
Please follow the general Upgrading Pure documentation as well as the 5.15.0 (4.34.0) specific instructions below.
In order to upgrade to 5.15.0 (4.34.0), you must be upgrading from at least 5.9.x (4.28.x). We strongly recommend that you do not attempt to skip any more than three major releases when upgrading as to do so increases the risk of migration errors.
Content validation
You are generally encouraged to check all content in the re-validation workflow step prior to upgrade as changes to the underlying data model may not be reflected in the re-validation overview screen (see example). You are also 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
Pure Portals
Backwards compatibility for Pure Portals
As previously communicated, we provide support for only the three most recent major releases of the Pure Portal. This means that as of the launch of Pure 5.15.0, versions 5.12.0 and earlier will not be officially supported by the Pure team.
If you continue to run an earlier version, new features and bug-fixes will not be available. We are also unable to make any commitment as to the performance and stability of your Portal. We therefore strongly recommend you regularly upgrade Pure to ensure Pure Portal compatibility.
Note: This issue is only relevant for customers who have the Pure Portal AND are responsible for managing their own upgrades
Web services
Web services
With Pure 5.15.0, the 5.11 API web service endpoint will be removed. If you are currently using the 5.11 endpoint, you will need to update your queries to use one of the supported web service endpoints. For this 5.15.0 version these are:
- 5.12 API
- 5.13 API
- 5.14 API
- newly introduced 5.15 API
You can find more information about the web service delivery module in the Pure 5.9.0 release notes.
Browser support
Internet Explorer will no longer be supported by Pure from 5.15.0 (June 2019)
Since 5.13.0, Pure has shown the following notification to users that access Pure using Internet Explorer 11 or older:
Removing support for Internet Explorer in Pure 5.15.0 enables the team to focus even more time on delivering great user experiences that run smoothly in modern browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.
