To upgrade an existing PhixFlow instance:
- Check System Requirements and Compatibility for changes to the system requirements or supported database versions. For example, you may need to upgrade your database or Java version.
- Ensure you have a backup of the database before upgrading PhixFlow.
Follow the Upgrading PhixFlow steps. It is important to complete Step 8, in which you apply any Special Upgrade Instructions for all the intermediate releases between your current version and the version to which you are upgrading. There are no special instructions for this version.
Improvements
DEV-10652 – This item fixes a bug in which occasionally, scheduled tasks and manually run tasks would merge incorrectly causing the scheduled task to “hang” before all work was complete. Another symptom of this bug was that log messages for the manual task could appear in the log messages for the scheduled task.
DEV-10527 The File Exporter PDF conversion process has been simplified. PDF conversion no longer uses a separate output directory (PDF Target Path), nor does it generate separate user-visible tasks (PDFchores).10690 - This item fixes an issue with the PDF generation process losing system resources and then hanging randomly. That hang stopped the creation of other PDF documents until the PDF generation service (LibreOffice) was stopped and restarted. This change also includes a requirement to update to LibreOffice version 7.2.5
