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.
Please email support@phixflow.com if you are planning to run PhixFlow on an unsupported database 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.
This release includes changes that affect the PhixFlow database. After upgrading, remember to republish the PhixFlow data as described in Step 10 of Upgrading PhixFlow
Special Upgrade Instructions
In version 8 grid rows were alternating by default (white/grey). This is no longer the default since version 9. To enable alternating colours the 'Grid Row Style' and 'Grid Alternate Row Style' can be configured at the system level.
In version 8 grid cells had borders by default. This is no longer the default since version 9. Cell borders can be created by setting the top border on row styles and a right border on column styles
In version 8 grid rows were highlighted in green when the mouse hovered over them. This is no longer the default since version 9. can be created by setting the top border on row styles and a right border on column styles
In order to preserve the 8.3 Grid styling the User needs to set the following Styles:
Grid Row Style:
height: 18px
borderRight: 1px solid #d3d3d3
Grid Alternate Row Style:
Background Colour: #e6e6e6
Row Selection Style:
Background Colour: #07e51c
Grid Row Hover Style:
Background Colour: #22FF37
Previously style attributes were wrongly being inherited even when they were not enabled in the parent style. This has been fixed. Applications should be checked to ensure their styling is still correct and that they weren't relying on the previously broken behaviour.
